Dominic Cummings, in an earlier incarnation, ran a secretly-funded 'think tank' dedicated to attacking the Beeb while Robbie Gibb glided effortlessly from GBNews to the BBC & started lecturing staff on impartiality. Imagine (cos you'll have to) how the 'left-wing' equivalent would be reported.

In 'How They Broke Britain', I do a pretty good job of detailing the depth & breadth of Tufton Street/Tory/Murdoch/Mail attempts to scupper the BBC, even as I castigate some presenters for going too easy on precisely the people who seek the Corporation's abolition. But I should have done more. 1/2

This is the rule of law in the UK. 20 years in prison for stealing a phone. 8,493 persons serving indefinite prison sentences, often for petty crime. No one charged for the Post Office scandal, Grenfell fire, cladding scandal, mortgage prisoners, banking frauds. Who does the law serve?

Daily Telegraph Sides With Foreign Despot Over British Institution should be the headline surely?

Memo to Donald Trump There is no link between paracetamol in pregnancy and autism or ADHD in children. But Trump, the felon, is a danger, spreading hate and poverty, threatening other countries, sending troops to US cities; ignoring laws and treaties and climate change.

"It is estimated that more than 400 women and girls were abused and exploited within Mohamed Al Fayed’s Harrods enterprise. I am one of them." This is a survivor's account of the structural failure of British justice when confronted with money and power. A must read ⤵️

UK electricity bills up 163% since 2008. Wages haven't. 6.1m households in fuel poverty, £4.43bn debt Profiteering: Energy sector average profit margin 23%, grid sector 38%, gas extraction 58%. Profit last year £30bn. 128,000 a year die in fuel poverty. No govt checks profiteering.

The Concentration of Power: Fink leads BlackRock, which manages over $11 trillion in assets, making it the world's largest asset manager. His dual role as BlackRock CEO and WEF co-chair represents an unprecedented concentration of financial and policy influence.

And before people say this is ridiculous they can't possibly pay. They have about £500m. The £188m should be seize today.

Michelle Mone and Doug Barrowman owe £188m to HMRC. £188,000,000. Imagine what would happen to you if you owed £100. Straight to court.

Quite funny that Times columnist and radicalised cretin Matthew Syed is criticising the BBC over 'bias' and bad reporting in a week The Times has been caught out publishing not one but two false stories about left-wing politicians it had to take down.

The Daily Telegraph and it's fascist squad are defeated again:

When it comes to Labour, the media have form. They will latch onto the seemingly most innocuous thing and blow it up out of all proportion to ridicule and undermine them. For instance, Ed Milliband’s bacon sandwich, Kinnock falling down on a beach..

There is nothing green about cutting down trees, shipping them across the ocean, moving them to Drax and then burning them to provide power at peak times that could have been downloaded at 2 in the morning and stored in batteries. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

"Compassion is not political, it's humanity and we seem to be missing both right now." 🙏🏾 Tyler Perry #ONEV1 #Pinks 🌸 #Voices4Victory

It’s so blatant & OTT. Whilst Labour have been disappointing & scored stupid own goals, I find myself shouting at the radio/iPad: “it took the Tories 14 years to break everything but you expect it all to be fixed in 14 months!” Where were our morally outraged press during Brexit, Covid & Bozo?

"Elon Musk is deliberately using his platform to poison our politics and divide our country It’s time for the government to wake up to the threat he poses to our country"

Never ending Tory corruption "The billion-pound PPE contractor with a Tory MP on site"

This should go everywhere- and far beyond “us”, because we understand the horrors of this. Amazingly - many don’t.

Reform UK in Sunderland, it’s a disgrace putting your logo on a wreath.

Remember: There is nothing natural or inevitable about extreme inequality; it’s the result of an economic system that values wealth and power over human dignity and justice. It doesn't have to be this way.

"On top of that, I’d wonder why such close editorial scrutiny should have been entrusted to three key people who themselves rejected journalism in order to enjoy lucrative careers in corporate and political communications." This is worth a read:

Michael Prescott and Sir Robbie Gibb both bailed out of journalism years ago, and enjoy lucrative careers in corporate PR. And now they are the arbiters of BBC editorial standards. Go figure www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/media/...

I suspect this was always Johnson’s plan. He has had BBC in his sights for years. There is more than a whiff of Trojan horse about Robbie Gibb’s installation as non-executive director at BBC ,after helping to launch GB News, during Johnson’s time as PM. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I saw somewhere that the amount of money this costs could give every Tesla employee a package worth $840,000. Every last one of them should walk out.

Spot the catchfarts…

Word of the Day is ‘catchfart’ (17th century): an obsequious individual who sucks up to the boss and always follows the political wind.

Hold on tight Devon — third Lib Dem win in Mel Stride’s seat, and we’re not stopping here. 🎢

Very excited to take up this role at @sussex.ac.uk & look forward to working with colleagues & students to help amplify the hugely important work the University is doing on climate, nature and environmental sustainability eg the very first undergraduate degree in climate justice starting in 2026 💚

The men you should really be afraid of are those who are making you hate minorities. It’s time to look up. The only minority that’s a threat to all of us and our way of life are the billionaires. I’ll be talking about this at 8:15pm here 👇🏼 youtube.com/live/42Nn0ZI...

Tee hee. We can name many of those!

Just lovely... so worth a read

And here is one of those reviews... "There is a perception of the world that I share with Cox and his characters, that made reading the book feel like home..." thinkaboutreading.wordpress.com/2025/09/28/e...

Just found a video I made a few years back about the #WildlifePond we created in our old garden, in Shaftesbury. It's not very long, and there's a beautiful Broad-bodied Chaser Dragonfly in it! May be of interest if you're thinking of creating a pond... #nature www.youtube.com/watch?v=169H...

Let's make hope normal again! My article on Bold Politics: observer.co.uk/news/opinion...

It is clearly deeply annoying for a sociopath when a human collapses nearby and distracts attention from him.

The sign of a complete and utter psychopath. A man collapses in the White House. Trump pays zero attention. The cameras are more important.

Rest in peace Pauline Collins. Shirley Valentine will always be one of the best British movies of all time!

Thatcher the Milk Snatcher comes to mind, for some reason…

Caroline Lucas as always getting the European message across so powerfully. This is why so many of us see rejoining Europe as our future. bsky.app/profile/euro...
