That renowned and respected lover of truth and journalistic integrity.... THE KREMLIN.... has stepped up to defend Trump in his battle against the BBC. SO that's Farage, Netanyahu, Putin, and Boris Johnson...

David Olusoga's Empire (BBC2 Fridays & IPlayer) about how Britain became the country it is today underlines why the right hate the BBC. Really Useful Knowledge they'd prefer not to be discussed wp.me/p15p2Q-ftC

Who benefits from breaking the BBC ? Answer that. Rest follows .

‘When the Left sees bias in BBC coverage its arguments are dismissed. When the Right does, it’s a national scandal’…great read here by @brokenbottleboy.bsky.social. open.substack.com/pub/brokenbo...

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

New post just out: Why the criminal justice system should be top of No. 10's "shit list". No part of the public sector is more broken or brings with it greater political risk. As we saw these past two weeks. It desperately needs a new approach. (£/free trial) open.substack.com/pub/samf/p/f...

England curriculum should focus less on exams and more on life skills, finds review
