There’s a really good article in @bylinetimes.bsky.social about how it all started with Cummings, aided by subsequent Tories to get a far right media. They say it better (being great journalists and all 😉) Well worth the read!

This is a coordinated attack on the BBC by Trump, Johnson, Farage, and all the other known liars and crooks in politics - an intervention is needed, but not this…

If we’re not careful, every single news outlet in the UK will be controlled by the right wing (it’s already most of them…)…

They should all face a primary. Most of them haven't had any competition in decades and they should be forced to go out and stand behind their record. They should have to defend that shit.

We need a Democratic Party with fighters. And a party truly for the working class, universal healthcare, 30/hour minimum, universal childcare etc

A party that unapologetically goes on offense

Trump and his cronies have the BBC in their sights. Leaders can’t stay silent while one of our great institutions is attacked.

We must defend its independence, end political appointments, and remove Robbie Gibb from the Board.
