For those who might not be aware, John Simpson is the former International News Editor for the BBC. He’s one of the UK’s most respected and experienced journalists. He’s on to the real issue here. There’s a concerted push to discredit the BBC by right wing forces in the US now. #DemVoice1 #DV1

Think about it, MAGA. Take all the time you need.

He also lobbies for U.S. Big Tech companies that have donated millions to Trump

Nigel Farage: "Small businesses shouldn't trust politicians who get freebies from big corporations." *3 MINUTES LATER* Nigel Farage: Lord Bamford and JCB, the Tories' old donors, are giving Reform UK £200,000!

The fix is in. Ghislaine Maxwell, transferred to a club med prison after Trump's lawyer met with her (and she likely spilled what she knows about Trump), is now being waited on "hand and foot" by guards and is getting her commutation application ready with help from the warden.

While the PedoPrez, his houseboy Mikey and clan continue their quisling behavior, this is the abhorrent unforgivable shit they are doing behind the scenes. Our Black veterans do not deserve this disrespect. Our veterans are not suckers & losers. #Pinks #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

"Race, Evolution, and Behavior", Rushton argued that racial groups differ in intelligence, crime, sexuality, and even genital size. He claimed these differences were evolutionary. He actually told this to the only Black student his class.(cont) www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

"Yorkshire Water was privatised in 1989 under the Water Act, launched debt-free and promoted as the start of a new, efficient era. What followed was anything but. Today, the company carries almost £7bn in debt. Our rivers are polluted, our bills keep rising, and we’re told to pay still more..."

This Reverend destroys the Christian Nationalism propaganda coming out with his understanding of teachings from The Bible.

The BBC is under growing pressure to act amid allegations of a high-level 'coup', allegedly spurred on by Tory-linked board member Robbie Gibb

Yes, because people have been enacting vicious anti-immigrant policies and using rhetoric echoing Enoch Powell, suggesting immigrants have done incalculable damage to the UK. Who might that have been?

“The central character in this is Robbie Gibb. The former Conservative press secretary at 10 Downing Street, appointed to the BBC board by Boris Johnson’s government in 2021.”That sentence alone is reason enough to remove him immediately!!!

In the last decade, the BBC has legitimised climate change denialism, paved the way for Brexit, defended the coup that was prorogation, over-platformed Farage's Far Right projects, and is neutral on our abandonment of human rights norms. What is this 'good' it supposedly does?

Yes the BBC edit was poor journalistic form but the research indeed shows that Trump's speech predicted riots, violence, and weapons use on January 6th.

You may have missed this gem yesterday. From which we learn that: 1. Betting shops are really good for the mental health of isolated people. 2. Most drug-takers are not a problem. 3. Kids put tuppence in slot machines in the hope of getting rich. 4. Farage probably has a gambling industry donor.

Police have named the couple they’re looking for in connection to a racist incident on the tube and they’re wealthy Trump supporters and founders of an “anti-woke” PR firm.

Alex Karp runs Palantir—a $450B tech giant powering AI systems for the CIA, ICE, and the Israeli military during its campaign in Gaza. He’s a law grad with a PhD in philosophy and a CEO who’s as polarizing as he is powerful. www.wired.com/story/alex-k...

Politico: "Veteran BBC presenter David Dimbleby told Channel 4 last night that it is “one of the most violent assaults on the BBC’s independence that I’ve seen in my lifetime,” while Playbook is told staff have been voicing “a lot of anger towards [right wing BBC board member] Robbie Gibb.”

"Leader of the free world" currently orchestrating a system of mass arrests by masked militias...

'They were those like Sir Oswald Mosley who were fascinated by the spectacle of brutal power. They would like to use it themselves. They grovelled to Nazi dictatorship in order that they could make people in their turn grovel to them' Winston Churchill, 1936

The Telegraph had to correct its multiple lies about "illegal immigrants" in London at least three separate times.

A question not asked by Joshua, but which seems quite important, is whether any judgment by a Florida court (assuming as Joshua does that it would assert jurisdiction) would be enforceable here. Any views?

Jacob Rees-Mogg is not an MP, he is not a lawyer, yet here he is on the TV being treated as qualified to comment. Completely ridiculous.

Jacob-Rees Mogg supports President Trump's right to sue the BBC He then repeatedly asks Gillian Tett questions but doesn't let her reply, so Victoria Derbyshire has to step in and tell him off

Let's stop pretending that the billionaire media, endlessly attacking the BBC, has the slightest interest in balance, impartiality and accuracy. They won't be happy until the BBC is more rightwing than Vlad the Impaler. And then it still won't be enough.

New York Attorney General Letitia James moved to dismiss the felony charges against her, calling the prosecution "flagrantly unconstitutional" and vindictive. The charges came after Trump ordered the DOJ to pursue James more aggressively earlier this year. https://bit.ly/487Ympi

In the past year, The Heritage Foundation — the conservative think tank behind Project 2025 —  has held seven meetings with MEPs. For European politicians, it's a way to get access to Trump’s people. For Heritage, it's a way to extend influence. 🔗 www.politico.eu/article/the-...

The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think. New piece from me. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

If 10% of my business was based on defrauding and scamming people, and was called a "pillar of the global fraud economy", I would have some serious moral qualms about my business. Not our friends at Meta though. www.reuters.com/investigatio...

I've always felt that Johnson and Farage put self-interest over the national interest - hence their dallying with Putin and his oligarchs. But directly colluding with a foreign government to take down the BBC feels like an act of supreme treachery

Because you didn’t.

An Oregon teen has gone viral online after giving an emotional speech about ICE at a city council meeting.

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

But that is not enough. No.10 should never have been in a position to install Gibb in the first place. It shouldn't control the board membership, the DG appointment, or the purse strings. What's required is genuine independence for the BBC.

Queen Ghislaine even has a puppy at Club Fed. This is how convicted sex traffickers are coddled by the Trump admin. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/d...

Prescott's claims that the BBC has a pro-trans bias are even flimsier than you might imagine. He thinks all positive stories about trans people represent bias unless some ghoul from Sex Matters is invited to say that they are awful actually. Crackpot green-ink stuff

iirc 1 trans woman has qualified for the Olympics in over 20 years and she came last

Mhari Aurora asks a pretty fair question, is booed by the crowd and told off by Dear Leader. Then Noa Hoffman, lobs a dogwhistle soft ball about making "our high streets beautiful again", not "covered in illegal migrant vape shops," to great applause. Genuinely ugly moment. ~AA

When Boris Johnson was Prime Minister one of his senior advisers confided to me that one of the only things in politics his boss actually cared about was “killing off the BBC”. Five years on, and it is a campaign that appears to be finally coming to fruition. bylinetimes.com/2025/11/10/t...

Davie was part of the tory four in charge of the BBC News Division. Why are we now acting like he was some effete, limp wristed, raging lefty who walked around the BBC sipping on a Kale Smoothie?

The irony is that a few SECONDS of really bad editing of Trump, has brought down Davie. Over a DECADE of preferential platforming far-right politicians, both-sidesing racism, climate change + the economics of Brexit, interviews with RW activists posing as public + refusal to name genocide, didn't.

Funny how even @theguardian.com fails to mention in its profile of the resigned BBC Director General that Tim Davie twice was a conservative candidate www.theguardian.com/media/2025/n...
