Straight to ‘let’s have a debate about whether racism is racism’ for *almost* all of the UK media. Nothing learned from the lessons of Brexit, Trump & Johnson. But on we go.
Off the top of my head, there have been four egregious examples of weapons grade public racism in the last couple of weeks - Jenrick; the Express hack; Captain Concrete & the Reform woman. The way they are treated by employers, punters & wider media, will directly influence how much more we see.

Having mispronounced Azerbaijan & mistaken Armenia for Albania last time he mentioned this conflict, Trump has now settled on a formulation of words he is much happier with. And after all, what’s 4000 miles between friends? As the expression goes…
❗️Trump:We stopped the conflict between Cambodia and Armenia. It was just starting and it was a bad one.

So sad to see John Stapleton has passed away. He was extremely kind to Lucy & me as we found our feet in broadcasting after moving from print, as he had done years before. Such fond memories of dinners with him & his late wife Lynn, including one quite surreal evening I might talk about tomorrow…
