To be very clear - questions of whether Epstein provided compromising information on Trump to Putin - which then in turn explains Trump’s dangerous subservience to Putin - is back on the table.

Now there are legit questions about whether Epstein was working with/for Putin. bsky.app/profile/kyle...

Ha ha! Well said!

Another morning of great unanswered questions: what is dark matter, what lies beyond an event horizon, how does Morgan McSweeney have a job.

Well said Lisa Nandy the #BBC is "essential to this country" and calls it "a light on the hill here and around the world". And well said that person who asked her the question....Robbie Gibb 'Faithful or Traitor'? We all know the answer to that one! #HandsOffOurBBCTrump

On #RemembranceDay we should remember too the role the #BBC played worldwide during World War II assisting governments and the resistance in the fight against fascism. Not forgetting it is needed today too. #HandsOffOurBBC #Trump www.bbc.com/historyofthe...

Very excited about this! My first 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle, packed with some of the biggest political stories and characters from the past year. A great way to while away a few hours over Christmas:

Interesting insight into the worrying influence and attitudes of Robin Gibb and David Grossman. Any further investigation needs to focus on those two. Gibb's influence especially over the past decade. #BBC

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms. He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

Gibb needs to be investigated by as many journalists as possible. I once knew him, unfortunately. As right-wing as you can be, shamelessly devious & deeply unpleasant. “Links with the Conservatives” doesn’t begin to explain how deeply he is intertwined with them www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...

Protesters lay outside the #COP30 climate summit in Brazil covered in white sheets, to call attention to the deaths of activists and journalists killed while "defending land, territories and natural resources."

Leaving Gibb and Grossman in place, who were part of the problem, is not going to help the BBC, rather the opposite. Time to put a halt on their influence and investigate them too. #BBC #HandsOffOurBBC

A must read. And a lot of what I suspected was going on. Time for a clear out, of you know who too!

If only Fox News or GB News were held to even 100th of the standard that the BBC is expected to operate. Nandy needs to offer full throated support for the organisation. I fear she won't.

Does this mean we can have the BBC's highly respected 'Dateline London' and 'Hardtalk' back? Both were inexplicably cancelled by those who have now left so here's hoping the new incomers will bring them back. Both programmes were respected the world over. Should never have been cancelled!

Sad irony of what is happening to #BBC is that there were so many other reasons Davie & co. should have been questioned over relating to their right wing associations & promotion of such, never forgetting Davie unsuccessfully stood as a candidate for Conservatives in 1993 & 1994 Council elections

Remember when young working in BBC Newsroom, attending editorial meetings etc, usual media complained of left wing bias. So thought would focus on that & came to the conclusion there was no left wing bias, they were simply reporting the truth. It was the reporting of the truth they objected to!

Wonderful story. Fact some thought it was AI generated when once you read the story you realize it is the antithesis of everything AI makes it all the more special & relevant.This is being human. AI could never have imagined it! 'Fedora man unmasked: Meet the teen behind the Louvre mystery photo'.

Met this ladybird at the allotment this morning, exploring the dormant allotment beds in the unseasonal mild weather. Hope it finds a warm spot to overwinter. Journey below...

And finally the Scarlet pimpernel flowers have now opened to make the most of the sunshine #WildflowerHour #WildflowerAllotment

Solar’s price drop is astonishing: panels are now 98% cheaper than when I first analyzed them in 2004. Today, building a fence with solar can be cheaper than using wood.

For so many years the rightwing UK media, especially the Murdoch press, has gaslit us that the BBC is leftwing. They think we are idiots and we haven’t noticed stuff like the relentless platforming of Farage.
