Fair play to Farage. Turning out even though his side lost. Presumably the sunglasses are to hide the tears.

It’s easy to see why Trump wants to destroy the world’s number one news source. We can’t let him. The BBC belongs to all of us here in the UK. The Prime Minister and leaders from across the political spectrum should be united in telling Trump to keep his hands off it.

Be clear, the American far right are coming for British democracy.

I can't imagine a job i'd like to do less. Managing an organisation held to a ludicrous standard by roaring idiots on a daily basis, while the main mediums it uses are all in decline and it's starved of resources.

This is the most abysmal, pathetic thing. The BBC head resigning because the corporation is not supine *enough* to the far-right.

The resignations of Tim Davie and Deborah Turness must be an opportunity for the BBC to turn a new leaf, rebuild trust and resist those like Nigel Farage who want to destroy it We must stand up for a strong, independent BBC, to stop Trump’s America becoming Farage's Britain.

ultimately you cannot appease people whose purpose in life is to destroy you bsky.app/profile/drje...

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

It's a sad state of affairs that this is the first year where my wife, a military brat whose father was a Colonel, and myself, former foreign correspondent, have felt emotionally uncomfortable attending a Remembrance Day service. All because of extreme nationalism of those who've weaponised the flag

Harvey Elliott not even on the bench again for Villa. Something’s not right there.

One scruffy bastard.

Johnson looks like he's rolled in from an all-nighter at the Bullingdon Club. No Labour politician could get away with turning up like that. Look at the state of his shoes. He's an entirely direspectful, self-absorbed, grifting, lying tosspot. .

I see Jason Cowley is now claiming Gareth Southgate for Blue Labour. Can't say I see any connection between a nostalgic view for imagined white working class communities of the 1950s and building a successful team in the image of a multicultural country...

Get nation states out of the Premier League.

The brass neck of Mikel Arteta - *Mikel Arteta* - complaining to the 4 the official about time wasting.

Weird solution word.

My mistake: he’s a Tory.

What a ridiculous thing to object to, and what a ridiculous thing to report. The BBC does not have to report every brain fart Reform councillors have. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

This is The Way.

Hey, @bennewmark.bsky.social you can add a new aspect to your portfolio career! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Sultana's reply. Have also sent Fox a message noting he is becoming more overtly racist. When he apologised for his ignorance about Sikhs in the first world war, he seemed to briefly understand something about the world wars and Remembrance

Laurence Fox is never again going to be able to threaten to sue anybody for calling him, an increasingly overt racist, racist

First episode was brilliant 🙌🏻

A question about Joey Barton's case How much does X pay him? Were the specific posts for which he was convicted monetised? If so, what happens to his income for criminal posts? Are there any sanctions for a platform which rewards (and so v likely incentivises) aggressive criminal posts?

Pleased with this. The type of clue I usually lose patience with & take a hint. Minute Cryptic - 7 November, 2025 "Water-deprived pharaoh dies after mixing up directions to Eden" (8) 🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣🟣 🏆 0 hints – 1 under the community par (73,035 solvers so far). www.minutecryptic.com?utm_source=s...

Opened Bluesky & realised I basically have to stay off here until I can watch the Traitors final tomorrow night 😩

For anyone still tempted to take Dominic Cummings at all seriously, he's now an advocate of Donald Trump-style open racism.

Taking the think out of tank

Weirdos.

Another Reform councillor has quit the party. Isabella Kemp now sits as an independent on Kent County Council. By my calculation, that’s nine Kent Reform councillors gone since May. Joke party of amateur hobbyists.

Unfortunately I think he could well be largely correct here. apple.news/A7TWltpyDTru... Planned school reforms will widen attainment gap - The Times and The Sunday Times

Always blows my mind when I see Sima Kotecha on the BBC News when she told barefaced lies about Park View in 2014 during #TrojanHoax

Wearing a poppy is meaningful because it is voluntary. There are many different & shifting views in Ireland about whether and how to engage with commemorations of the world wars, which include many Irish servicemen, given our complex history. We should respect people's choices, not try to impose

Hope they sell tickets to this.

Proper weirdo, Braverman.

Suella Braverman has every right to make her own choice for herself about her own identity If her argument is to refuse to accept that Ian Wright & Michelle Agyemang, Rishi Sunak, David Lammy and Priti Patel are English - their identity & birthright - on grounds of race, she should lose the whip

No. Surely he didn’t. He didn’t do this really. Did he? Really? Jesus wept 🥴

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Point and laugh at the frightened, whimpering little babies. #RacistTears

I have two - TWO - of these gorgeous original A4 meadow hare linoprints by my mum, Jo, to give away to a couple of lucky people here on Bluesky today. Rules are simple: to be in with a chance to win, you just have to repost this piece I wrote about Jo and her art: www.tom-cox.com/the-magic-ro...

Labour needs an election poster of Farage with Truss as the devil on his left shoulder tempting him to repeat her mistake

Super important. Thank you

My big takeaway from the overnight US election results is that Trump will now redouble his efforts to prevent a free and fair vote next year and that the Supreme Court will help him as much as it can. Too many people have too much to lose to just allow democracy to prevail.
