Congratulations to a young Mike Yarwood for winning the Booker yesterday.

Trump has threatened to bomb or invade 7 countries with a shot to play in the 2026 World Cup. He *has* bombed one (Iran) and said he'd deny them visas. He's preparing for war with another (Venezuela). He has summarily executed citizens from at least 3. He has imposed tariffs on nearly all of them.

If we send Andrew then he leaves the BBC alone? Is that the tawdry deal we're going to have to do?

I hope Trump sues the BBC (I don't really, obvs) and then the trial is in a UK courtroom and then, well... y'know... all the facts can be established...

So the BBC is biased against Donald Trump? Ok? Fine? It’s also biased against Vladimir Putin or Erdogan or Orban or or or, your point being?

If, as several people are suggesting this morning, the DG and News CEO were prevented from issuing an apology re Panorama last week by the board, it seems extremely urgent that the chair of the board clarify what happened

Unzoomed #662 4/6 🔴🔴🟡🟢⚪️⚪️ unzoomed.com I had to use Google reverse-image search. It didn't help...

Right now if the BBC announced Alex Jones as the next DG, I'd have no idea which one.

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

The first time I posted this, Zohran was down 30 points. We had never met and we were in a room full of famous people. Absolutely nobody knew who he was, so we were able to talk Onion headlines uninterrupted for ten minutes. This was five months ago. Now he's one of the most important people alive.
