Good programme about the traitor Nathan Gill, podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t... @theguardian.com With @lukeharding1968.bsky.social and @helenpidd.bsky.social

The latest Reith lecture is well worth listening to, www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... The notorious bit of BBC censorship doesn’t make a huge difference: it is clear from the lecture what he thinks about Trump, whether we’d been informed about the cut or otherwise. #moralrevolution

Farage et al really mustn't be allowed to walk away from this scandal, and its wider implications: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Fergus McCreadie at Union Chapel last Thursday. #londonjazzfestival

I implore someone, anyone, in the media… Do your job And the next time you have Farage on, please ask him directly: …what were the motivations behind this?

Word of the day is ‘quockerwodger’ (19th century): a puppet politician whose strings are pulled entirely by someone else.

The Telegraph routinely spreads myths about a range of subjects - especially climate change. It has been forced to publish over 100 corrections this year so far. Yet it has the gall to lecture the BBC - and whip up a national panic - about journalistic standards

Panorama should just re-edit the programme. Removing the edit Trump complains about. Replacing it with the last 1 minute 16 seconds of his speech, unedited. In which he repeats exactly what Panorama put in the edit. From 69:36 to 70:52. www.marketwatch.com/video/trump-...

Marc Andreessen is the business idiot’s business idiot.

What a thrill to hear the Northern Spy / @bandcamp.com ‘listening party’ for Disquiet by The Necks.

Always acknowledge the gift of a book before there has been time to read it; if you wait you have to commit yourself to an opinion. —T. S. Eliot

Choice quote: ‘He’s not a grifter, he’s three anxiety disorders in a trench coat.’

Liberal Democrat Health Spokesperson Helen Morgan: "Nigel Farage wants to impose Trump's dangerous anti-science agenda here in the UK. Peddling this kind of nonsense is irresponsible and wrong. "It seems Farage would rather see pregnant women suffer in pain than stand up to his idol Donald Trump."

Trump and the Russians: there’s no such thing as a ‘Russia Hoax’.

Literary BlueSky! Suggestions please for novels written around 1905-1910 and set in London, which give a good sense of daily life in the city at that time?
