‘A confident BBC would admit a mistake and move on without admitting legal liability. But we do not have a confident BBC. We have a media corporation lacking confidence.’ And there we have it…

NEW A close look at Trump's $1 billion claim against the BBC The litigation letter is weak, but his underlying practical position is not weak By me: emptycity.substack.com/p/a-close-lo... (Substack) (Non-Substack link to follow.)

Ten months ago everything felt steady growth was real, markets weren’t panicking, gas wasn’t jumping every few days. Now those same numbers keep slipping. I’m not trying to blame anyone. It just feels like the progress under President Biden is fading way faster than makes sense.

Indeed. The BBC is in my view one of Britain‘s most important institutions. It is imperfect. Everything is. You destroy it at your peril. If ever there was a time to rally around something very British, it is now. Just an outsider‘s opinion.

Next time a Reform representative is on question time they should be asked to comment on this footage.

The stupids have risen and stepped on the rake of life.

So….let me get this straight …these are British immigrants in Spain waving Union Jacks and protesting about immigration ….to the UK? 🤯

I’m sorry Spain 🇪🇸 You deserve better.

"Did you have to pack so many flags, love? The kids can't get their swimsuits into the suitcase."

This is how they posted it on Instagram

In the immortal words of Groucho Marx, "they've got the brains of a four year old child - and I bet he was glad to get rid of them."

It's real, and it's mind-blowing. A complete lack of awareness and a national embarrassment.

Shambles. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Just some British patriots in Benidorm, taking over a street in Spain to shout in their own language about unwanted foreigners. It’s a blessing that they are too thick to understand irony.

If John Swinney had been caught pissing in the street, there would be such a rift and fury that the centre of the universe would be ripped so violently that it would make the big bang look like a cap gun going off Yet here we are. Peter Mandleson, a Labour Lord, still a Lord & hush from Labour🙄

Britain's ministry of defence has made 49 visits to Israel in the first 20 months of Israel's genocide in Gaza – 37 of those visits were in secret. More from Declassified UK: www.declassifieduk.org/british-mili...

This'll be my new pinned post. This is the most positive thing I've seen on BlueSky in a long time and that includes WeRateDogs. The UK Labour Party are getting a LOT done both immediately & for long term planning so there really is cause for hope for them, and UK despite an onslaught of propaganda!

Ken Clarke eviscerates Reform’s council incompetency on Question Time

The PM insists all's well at No. 10 while others speak of a coup... So who is calling the shots at No. 10 or even the BBC for that matter? Meanwhile Reform's vigilantes are out in force, Farage fumes & Jaywick tops deprivation list. Pecksniff has so much to write about...

Farage, Boris Johnson & Rees-Mogg apparently plotting assaults on UK democracy with Bannon, who was reporting back to Epstein. Nothing to see here, newspaper folk… www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

His name is Richard Smith and he clearly thinks its perfectly ok to hit horses with riding whips.

Yes! Iannucci for DG.

BBC has a case against Trump. WhiteHouse Chief Press Officer called the BBC ‘100% fake news.’ Which is defamatory and untrue.

Roberts and the Brain, Roberts and the Brain. If death has hit a loved one, funerals are our game. Need a sombre hearse? Our prices could be worse! Its Roberts, it's Roberts and the Brain (Brain, Brain, Brain, Brain)

Roberts and Brain Funeral Directors have asked us to clarify that, contrary to rumours, they are not actually two laboratory mice disguised as humans, one of them isn't a 'genius', and the other isn't 'insane' and they have no current plans to 'take over the world'.

STORM CLAUDIA: The latest shipping forecast is a warning of gales and rough seas today in the Gulf of Bearwood (Edgbaston Reservoir), as evidenced by this photo taken just now:

We will be looking to change our name to the much funkier-sounding Bearuwudu Parish Council shortly. Residents of Harborne, which will be now known as 'Horebourne' going forward, are unsurprisingly less receptive of the plan.

Following the WM Mayor's support for the creation of a 'Mercian Autonomous Region', the WMCA culture secretary has decreed that, in keeping with this, towns and cities should revert to their original 'Old English names'. A new version of the A-Z has already been produced with the updated names.

This week is your last chance to visit Bearwood's very own Dr Who Experience! Don't miss the opportunity to venture into the interior of the TARDIS (it's bigger on the inside!), Push the iconic 'Time Flush' handle, play with the sonic wipers! Gaze into the mirror of dimensions!

Every Tuesday, the staff at Pepe's Piri Piri chicken shop in Bearwood perform famous theatrical scenes from a mezzanine above the shop. Yesterday, customers were treated to a captivating rendition of Lucky's monologue from Waiting for Godot.

Storm Claudia whipping the sea foam onto the seafront at Bray, County Wicklow. Fun.

Seeing Trump's team panic and start shoving journalists out of the room today after one asked about Epstein felt cathartic because you know they're PANICKED. Good. I hope they all have heart attacks.

Sen. Chris Murphy: "It is clearly the biggest scandal in presidential history. He wouldn’t be acting this way if he wasn’t so deeply worried about what sits in those files. Clearly Donald Trump was at the center of a child sex ring."

He’s panicking.

Exciting to see lots of people tonight joining us!!! 🎉 Join.greenparty.org.uk

This is Trump’s victim?
