Having a great first day as the OBR's website manager. Got all of the content queued up as a scheduled post, ready for a big day, but all of the work is done now.
Now before I put my feet up, time to take a big gulp of water and check the latest news.

It’s increasingly difficult to defend the BBC. From its coverage of the Gaza genocide to putting Johnson in power. From platforming Farage & normalising racism to defending Trump (the irony),not to mention its Windsor cult propaganda. A lost institution with clear bias & giving in to MAGA bullies.
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Calling Nathan Gill ‘ancient history’ is a cynical attempt to sweep a politically-threatening truth under the carpet.
Gill was a trusted ally of Nigel Farage.
We need a full investigation into Russian interference in our politics - the people of Wales deserve transparency.

So why is it so comfortable in underfunding, belittling the staff of, and destroying our world-renowned national institutions?"
