Channel 4 News close to examplary this evening. It pains me to point out that some people working for the broadcast partner of Bari Weiss's CBS News, the BBC, could learn a lot from Matt Frei & Anushka Asthana. But I also wonder how much 'balance' we give to obvious liars, however powerful they are.

Defence secretary John Healey is still at large despite authorising UK military support to Israeli intelligence during a genocide.

In parliament he defended UK support to the US ship seizure operation and said Britain was the US's "closest possible" ally, 4 days after the US Venezuela coup.

Instead the Vice President has been sworn in as President and business continues as normal.
