If you want to sustain your carefully-cultivated fury at the stupid Panorama edit then don’t, whatever you do, read or listen to Trump’s speech in its entirety…

In 'How They Broke Britain', I do a pretty good job of detailing the depth & breadth of Tufton Street/Tory/Murdoch/Mail attempts to scupper the BBC, even as I castigate some presenters for going too easy on precisely the people who seek the Corporation's abolition. But I should have done more. 1/2

Dominic Cummings, in an earlier incarnation, ran a secretly-funded 'think tank' dedicated to attacking the Beeb while Robbie Gibb glided effortlessly from GBNews to the BBC & started lecturing staff on impartiality. Imagine (cos you'll have to) how the 'left-wing' equivalent would be reported.

Two women. Fucked off with the state of politics. So we started a podcast in our bedrooms…

And today we sit in the charts snuggled up against The Times, Sky News, The Financial Times, etc

A big win for people more outraged by a silly edit at the BBC than by a man impeached by Congress for literally inciting an insurrection being back in the White House. Pathetic.

If you want bollocks and pro reform spin, go watch the BBC.

If you want clarity, context and someone that’s willing to roast those twats, this is the place to be.

Irony: People saying the BBC is biased towards the left when a big part of why they’ve all been radicalised to vote Tory and Reform is BECAUSE of (yes you guessed it) the BBC’s right wing bias.

Couldn’t make it up.

Thicker than a submarine door.

If only the Speaker put half as much energy into governing as he does into avoiding work.

He still hasn’t sworn in Representative-elect Grijalva, people are hungry, planes are grounded, and Republicans are on vacation.

They’re showing you exactly who they are. Believe them.

The Trump Administration’s cruelty knows no bounds. It’s one thing to spar with your political opponents—but starving children and seniors to make a point? That’s negligence.

I’m proud to join @repjahanahayes.bsky.social in prohibiting this administration from playing politics with people’s lives.

Saw Elf The Musical for the first time at the Aldwych last night. It’s pretty close to perfect. My 17yo was suddenly 7 again & I was smitten from beginning to end. Can’t think of a better way to introduce youngsters to the magic of live theatre. Pure Christmas joy. Would merrily go again again today

Lowe doesn't need the money but the 'thrill' of engagment can be just as corrupting as the love of cash & if engagement/cash increase according to the extremity of the opinions expressed then you need integrity to resist the temptation to become ever more offensive. This is what Musk has engineered.
Human trafficking.

Rupert Lowe makes more money from using Elon Musk’s website than any other MP.

There is money to be made from mass deportations and talking about mass deportations.
