I must admit, I was excited about the news agents and—perhaps naively—believed it might be slightly different from the usual centrist claptrap. The spell has officially been broken. So disappointing.

Emily Maitlis not a doctor not trans not an expert in this field worked for ideological reasons to get healthcare for kids shut down, paid for by the licence fee - and she complains about ideological capture. Absolutely farcical

Most Brits really hate Trump so why do those in power insist on constantly sucking his dick? Tell him to fuck all the way off. Then tell him to fuck off just a little bit more.

Aside from fanning the flames, what do you, the prime minister, plan on doing about it? Since your Island of Strangers speech, I’ve seen several brazen acts of racist abuse in broad daylight. At least people were too ashamed to express racism in public before. What’s your plan? We’re not safe.

EXCLUSIVE: My @bylinetimes.bsky.social investigation reveals: 'memo' which sparked President Donald Trump to threaten a $1bn lawsuit against BBC was written by lobbyist at firm paid by pro-Trump tech giants and Trump donors bylinetimes.com/2025/11/11/b...

The real BBC bias…

Interesting nugget from BBC staff call this morning: Tim Davie said the biggest number of complaints the BBC is handling right now concern the corporation giving Nigel Farage's Reform too much airtime. bsky.app/profile/jake...

The UK, and our signage, is fine thank you very much. However, Noah Smith strikes me as quite the dumbass. Like really really thick. Also, was there any need to keep pointing out the staff member’s ethnic background? Dumbass.

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten. "I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

I agree that the BBC should apologise to Trump for being misleading. Right after Trump apologises for the 30,573 false or misleading claims he made during his first presidency, or for each of his current daily average of 21 new lies per. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_o...

John Le Carre was right about the British establishment and how the alumni of the best schools will sell out their own country for status and money and in particular a desperate desire for American attention

You may have missed this gem yesterday. From which we learn that: 1. Betting shops are really good for the mental health of isolated people. 2. Most drug-takers are not a problem. 3. Kids put tuppence in slot machines in the hope of getting rich. 4. Farage probably has a gambling industry donor.

A key victory in Trump's road to power in America was successfully branding the majority of its established press as "fake news". Now, he is bringing this across the pond to the BBC – where these same tactics are favoured by prominent politicians and media outlets on the right. A dangerous moment.

Social media has convinced everyone that no one does anything sincerely. Everything's an act to a world that thinks everyone's influencing.

Surprised, but thrilled actually. Marriage equality is safe for now.

Can we maybe try fixing stuff instead of just burning everything to the ground?

The fact that the BBC has made serious culpable errors does not negate the point that there is a real and concerted right-wing media campaign to destroy it. Both points can be true at the same time and the campaign would not end even if the errors did.

Just to get this straight in my head, we've gone from "BBC badly edited a piece about Trump, but was accurate overall", to the "BBC isn't transphobic enough and is all woke", and we're still arguing, regardless of the myriad of issues with the BBC, whether there's a genuine right wing attack on it?

This just in: Doing things in public is performative! Especially if you’re a bloke! Our media is insufferably shit.

Yes, the BBC is biased. The only person we ever fucking hear from is Farage. Sometimes there is only one side to a news story. We don’t need to roll out Britain’s Biggest Bigot to tell us aCtUaLLy FoRriNs AnD tRanSeS aRe eViL aNd tO bLaMe fOr aLL LiFe’S iLLs every five goddamn seconds.

Should you or anyone else be interested in doing a PhD in London, here's details of the competition for funded places.

After the referendum, the BBC chief Lord Hall ordered the BBC to treat Brexit as a done deal, a decision which all but wholly excluded Remainer opinion from the BBC for over two years, thus grossly biasing the debate. It was a grotesque abuse of democracy. www.radiotimes.com/tv/current-a...

Who’s looking over there and thinking “oh yeah, I want some of that; imma do exactly what they tell me to do?” As bad as things may be in the UK, it’s not even close to what the US is battling. Can we not import their version of far-right bullshit? Ours is hard enough to manage as it is.

This is a substantive study into the costs of Brexit and adds to the evidence that the cost as estimated by the OBR of 4% GDP is accurate or perhaps an under-statement - which also tallies with people's perceptions. The UK has simply become less competitive.

I miss being in the EU. I miss having a largely unbiased BBC. I miss the time when racism felt like it was an issue of the past. At least one of these is relatively straightforward to fix. #Rejoin

The BBC's senior leadership resigning en masse over one dodgy edit in one programme, simply because the right wing press demands it, tells you everything you need to know about where the power really lies in that relationship

the right winger who was appointed to lead the BBC in the hope of appeasing right wingers has been driven out by right wingers for not appeasing right wingers enough and the BBC has the chance to do the funniest thing ever

Six people died from tampered Tylenol and the company pulled 30 million bottles off the market. ChatGPT is accused of urging seven people towards suicide, and OpenAI just assures us they’re still working out the kinks. Billions in investment, zero accountability.

All of the biggest cunts have just realised that they can now just say all the racist shit that’s in their heads. You can just feel the strain built up over maybe 20years of it not being publicly acceptable, like a hosepipe with a foot on it. And now the foot’s come off and here we are

Every single time Labour behave more like Reform, it helps Reform. They will have plenty of time to reflect on their car crash level stupidity after they've been obliterated at the 2029 GE. Unfortunately, all the rest of us will be left facing the consequences. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

Again, another Labour MP telling the Little People how wrong we are for being pissed off with what they’re doing whilst simultaneously pitching for a leadership position. Cringe.

Nope. The message is loud and clear. Labour is no longer interested in democratic socialism. It’s is now a fully fledged reform tribute act. You can throw your life-changing policies right out of the Overton window.

Empathy is usually quite a reliable indicator that you’re not a psychopath.

What would happen if a human collated a bunch of pro-suicide literature and handed it out to kids experiencing suicidal ideation? What if they acted on it? Would we send this person into every school in the land to talk unsupervised with vulnerable kids? So why are we blindly rolling out AI?

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

reminds me of trying to put a sleeping bag back into its case

The ultra-rich are so fucking thick and self-absorbed it’s dangerous. No one, NO ONE should ever be able to hoard so much wealth when so many are dying of hunger every day around the globe.

Shocked, shocked I tell you* to find out that the Met is institutionally racist *Could not be less shocked if I tried. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Weekend at Donnie’s 💀

Is there a prominent Brexiter left who hasn’t torn off their mask to reveal the rancid racism beneath? Boris Johnson’s chief fluffer accusing anyone else of being over-promoted is peak process. The bitterness of insanely privileged men with empty souls knows no bounds.

Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.” A 16yo American living in fear of the Trump regime’s ICE goons terrorizing brown people pleads for help.

"Home Office data suggests that recent immigrants are more likely to be working than British nationals and make higher wages than them." ✍️ Lauren Gilbert argues that migrants to the UK are net fiscal contributors, adding much more to the economy than they take out, ukandeu.ac.uk/lower-migrat...

If they wanted a definition of democratic socialism they could’ve just checked the back of labour’s membership card. (Indeed, the Labour Party itself could do with reminding themselves of their mission).
