The truth about #engvarg. That’s why he brought the defenders on, from half time England were being battered. At the start of the WC a top 4 finish would have been considered a good result.

@therestisfootball.bsky.social So can Gary talk us through how he failed to score when John Barnes set him up with a dream cross in 1986?

'The BBC is the only organisation at scale that provides us with any resilience' Pat Younge, Chair of the British Broadcasting Challenge, explains to MPs on the Culture, Media and Sport Committee how public broadcasting could be a valuable asset in today's media landscape.

In the 1970s the National Front didn't have a global platform, and the richest man alive backing them. The far right has both now. Carys and Pat Younge get into the impact of Elon Musk on our streets. New OTTUTR out now! 🎧

Gave evidence to the CMS Select Committee about the BBC. I took the opportunity to raise the issues of impartiality around the Reform party TV network, aka GB News, which is posioning the well for news values in the UK. We don't want Fox News type polarisation here.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Very good piece by Pat Younge.

‘Mr. Nobody Against Putin’ Director: “This is about how you lose your country — through small acts of complicity: when a government murders people on the streets, when oligarchs take over the media… we all face a moral choice. But even a nobody is more powerful than you think."

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social Please ask Zia how the act serves black working class kids or white working class girls.

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social please give us some bloody facts on the Jim Ratcliffe story - I read he’d quoted numbers that were 400% wrong. And doesn’t he live in Monaco? And were 8/11 of the Man U starting line up foreigners?! Give me some facts.

One day, if we are lucky, the erasure of American history will itself be remembered as a shameful chapter in American history

Pew Research Institute (2023): • Red State Texas has about 2.1 million undocumented immigrants • Red State Florida has 1.6 M undocumented immigrants • Blue State Minnesota has 130,000. And yet only Minnesota is being occupied by masked thugs over "immigration." It's *not* about immigration.

this is what it has come to for Mexican restaurants in the Twin Cities

Danish Parliament Deputy Speaker Lars-Christian Brask: "If I could come with some advice, it would be for the Senate & House to start to take control of political power in America because with this erratic & mad behaviour, you have to ask the question, is the President capable of running the US?"

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

Why does Trump support demonstrators in Iran and hate them in the USA?

PhD Funding! University of Leeds The School of History invites applicants from Black, Asian and other minoritised ethnic groups who wish to study for a PhD commencing in the academic year 2026/27 to apply for the School of History Access to Research Scholarship. phd.leeds.ac.uk/funding/387-...

Just want to add: Being convicted of a crime in the U.S. wouldn’t justify sending someone to a foreign gulag to be tortured, and arguably violates separation of powers since the “sentence” they are legally bound to serve is one issued by a judge, not Stephen Miller (i.e. the factoid is irrelevant)

Tried to avoid this mire but have a question - How does this redaction work then? Here’s a letter from a case file (assume G Maxwell’s legal challenge) and then the version released by DoJ. Trump and Clinton’s names redacted, victims left un-redacted? #epsteinfiles @cnnnewsource.bsky.social

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

We look out for new books deal with social class, and our first, published this week, is Gary Younge's Pigeonholed: Creative Freedom as an Act of Resistance.🧵 In this text of his inaugural Faber lecture, Younge talks about the “burden of representation”. That’s the pressure on people...

@bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @channel4news.bsky.social @bectu.bsky.social @variety.com @cnn.com Any journalism actually being done today? It appears the law explicitly says he can’t do it, so why give it airtime. Why pretend the threat is real.

The reason why protest is essential to political change is that only when people *see* the scale of discontent do they realise they are not alone, and that the tide can turn.

A German experiment has found that people are likely to continue working full-time even if they receive no-strings-attached universal basic income payments.

AOC: We must acknowledge the terrifying moment we are in right now. What we are hearing and seeing with our own eyes is, in fact, happening. We are watching our neighbors, students, and friends being fired, targeted, and disappeared. It is real.

I agree. In a functioning democracy, we would already be in the midst of an impeachment trial.

The White House. The actual White House. This is the attitude of every abuser, who is now fearful of the consequences of their abuse.

What if tech bros had held their nerve? What if ABC had told Trump they’d see him in court? What if Ivy League Universities had defended Columbia? What if big law firms had sued Trump? Cowardice is contagious. Welcome to the Great Grovel www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/world/united...

Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.
