Time to take away Grandpa's car keys. And red button.

"Many people arrested after January 6 said the only reason they rioted was because of what Trump said," says Lewis Goodall. “Yet, if you listen to all of this, the conclusion is that the sin of that day is a 10 second edit on a BBC programme" www.thenewsagents.co.uk/article/insi...

In an ironic twist, Trump tells the Department of Justice to investigate former Presidents over the Epstein files.

Proud to be re-elected to the board of the Federation of European Screenwriters, alongside these wonderful writers from across Europe. @writersguildgb.bsky.social @fsescreenwriters.bsky.social

If I were innocent and had thousands of pages of proof, I'd release them.

BBC has apologised to President Trump and people have resigned. And that's it. The BBC will not be bullied.

I think the BBC should go to court with Trump and film the whole thing as an award winning documentary.

The dog that hasn’t barked, but has made a hell of a mess on every carpet.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

SUPERB and angrily unvarnished response, by former BBC chairman, Lord Patten. "I don't think that we should allow ourselves to be bullied into thinking that the BBC is only any good, if it reflects the prejudice of the last person who shouted at it." ~AA

Thinking about going for the BBC Director General job. Will they throw in a free television licence?

The Tory member and former election candidate that Boris Johnson appointed as DG of the BBC in order to make it more right-wing is now not right-wing enough to be DG of the BBC. Couldn't really ask for a clearer example of the Overton window being pushed rightward, could you?

Terrific person and makes brilliant things 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

“her "belligerent moods" interfered with Wilkins' ability to "maintain a dominant position that would allow him to think unhindered about DNA." 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

I'm about to announce the government is about to announce something.

For this year's Xmas cracker: What did Watson and Crick discover? Rosalind Franklin's notes.

All these prisoners accidentally released. I don't think this is what was meant by the government's "One in, one out" policy.

Saw new film Nuremberg last night. Award-worthy film which, sadly and scarily, resonates today. L to R stars Leo Woodall, Michael Shannon, Rami Malek and writer/ director James Vanderbilt.

No spoilers or else! But that Celebrity Traitors finale. Wow! And so British. #CelebrityTraitors

In case of an emergency…. Grab 3 friends and sing Bohemian Rhapsody

So sad when teddies are bred in captivity.

Some wisdom and some humor in one little poem. Infect the world with your smile. 🤣😍😊🙂💕🙃😇

No spoiler alerts on pain of banishment. But that Great British Bake Off final! No, YOU'RE crying.

Hoorah! Alan Bates (now Sir Alan) finally gets his payout from the Post Office Horizon scandal. It only took them 20+ years. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Comforting words for a trying time.

Why am I not surprised?! There’s always a crypto angle…

This is beyond grotesque. Another young journalism who treats the lives of minorities as a game. I know plenty of people who still hang out with this guy – I can't respect that as a decision when he's publicly gloating about further stigmatising disabled people.

Emily Maitlis's and BBC Newsnight's brilliant journalism changed history. Which is why it's vital independent journalism exists.

This shit is disgusting but also he and her both know it won’t satiate the people in his base who will hate her anyway for being Indian and his kids for being mixed. Just a gigantic waste of everyone’s time to play this game like “maybe she’ll convert”. To what? White!?

It’s a Royal annoncement.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor AND the penultimate episode of The Traitors. Best telly night for ages.

Wow. The Prince formerly known as Prince. King Charles takes away Andrew's title. Well done, Your Majesty.

Hello, playmates! For any Arthur Askey fans, there'll be an auction of his personal archive. hansonsauctioneers.co.uk/auction/the-...

No, Wordle, it was luck, it was great great skill. ⬜🟩🟩⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

the only thing that could start a civil war in this country is a bit of queue jumping should a member of the royal family that everyone likes dies. but of course, this would not happen again, because there are no members of the royal family left who everyone likes

It's like they're all vying for nominations in the Racist Of The Year Award.

I can't take the stress of the Great British Bake Off semi-final. I'm going to need to join a support group.

In exchange for moving from Royal Lodge, Andrew wants a new royal residence for himself, and another one for his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson. (They divorced in 1996.) Whilst you're at it, Andy, can I have a royal residence too?

Also present at Andrew's party were Attila the Hun, Ivan the Terrible and the Joker.

I remember Meera Syal saying on a tv chat show about twenty bleeding years ago about the lack of representation of poc on tv particularly in advertising. It’s taken this long to finally see a fair balance so that stupid women and others like her should just shut the fuck up.

www.facebook.com/share/p/19C1... My friend Mark Mardell was chucked off his Turkish Airlines flight at the weekend because he had Parkinson’s and his son had asked for assistance for him. (He’s written about it as a public post on Facebook but the link is proving hard to share outside,)

Yay. Priceless. The right column at the right time. And a gleefully English two fingers to the haters.
