A new two‑part documentary hears from boys—now men—who endured brutal beatings by John Smyth, once a leading Church of England evangelical. Meanwhile, the institution prepares to announce the outcomes of 8 Clergy Disciplinary Measures, hitherto an ineffective, powderpuff process that fails survivors

On the one hand, anything to distract from reports of his increasingly well-documented, lifelong racism.
On the other, if he's told some donors this (& the FT will have sourced this properly) you can be sure that he'd've told others the polar opposite if he thought that's what they wanted to hear.

FT Exclusive: The Reform UK leader told donors he expects a deal or merger between his party and the Conservatives ahead of the next general election, suggesting he does not believe he can sweep to power alone. on.ft.com/44xlHi0

#Medomsley. Jake Richards, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Ministry of Justice, has set out the Govt’s plans. Front and centre is the introduction of an alleged ‘duty to report’ law. In reality, it is little more than the status quo in new clothes, with a counterfeit label attached

The BBC omitted about forty minutes from the middle of Trump's bellicose speech on Jan 6th, to provide his call to action. Omitting a caption to inform the audience of the edit sees two resignations.
Meanwhile back at the White House, Trump, found guilty of 34 felony counts...

Charles Moore on #r4today, calls for the BBC to be impartial. Err! I have perceived a right wing bias despite clear efforts to be balanced.
As an MP, Tom Watson said that if both sides of politics are complaining about the corporation, it's getting something right.

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.
