#TurnerPrize - Amazing finalists hosted in my home city of #Bradford at the wonderful Cartwright Hall. Congratulations to the winner, Nnena Kalu. She become the first artist with a learning disability to wine the prize. I visited the exhibition - all four finalists presented brilliant work.

A tetchy performance by Kemi Badenoch in interview on grooming gangs with Jackie Long. Badenoch claiming she’d spoken up for survivors more than her interviewer @channel4news.bsky.social social affairs editor & news anchor, who has carried numerous investigations on this issue for over two decades.

The world is laughing at you, #FIFA and #GianniInfantino

Well done RTE and other broadcasters for withdrawing from #Eurovision due to Israel’s continuing participation. It’s unimaginable to me that silly songs can be performed while a genocide is underway from #Netanyahu and his murderous IDF.

Mildly controversial on the #Strictly front, but I reckon there wasn’t much chemistry between Alex and Johannes, certainly not compared to his previous dance partners.

The new ‘Instant Dance’ on #Strictly was good, chaotic fun, but not sure it added much to the show, overall.

The latest #Covid report published today, is a timely reminder of just how appalling a prime minister #BorisJohnson was. Those calling for the current PM to go, should look to recent history.

Nil engagement on this platform. Meh. Probably one to delete!

These three: @maitlis.bsky.social, @lewisgoodall.com, @jonsopel1.bsky.social - all ex #BBC journalists, now on @newsagents.bsky.social are brilliant, especially on the latest crisis facing the Corporation. Passionate, informed, yet clearly angry at how and why it has come to this.

It is, indeed, our #BBC. Do not let a discredited foreign leader destroy it.

A big win for people more outraged by a silly edit at the BBC than by a man impeached by Congress for literally inciting an insurrection being back in the White House. Pathetic.

Tim Davie was one of the best D-Gs the BBC has had, and Deborah Turness was a brilliant head of news. Only the BBC’s enemies could possibly be glad they’ve resigned. We’ve now got a real fight on our hands to defend public service broadcasting, because that’s under threat too.

All of you shrieking in joy about the #BBC resignations should pause and think why they happened. Let me help you. #Trump threatened the UK Government. Happy with that?

As a bit of a petrol head, very sad to hear of the passing of motoring journalist, #QuentinWillson. Always so very knowledgable and informative, without the distraction of silliness that other motoring presenters displayed. One of the original #TopGear crew.

I think what really made #CelebrityTraitors brilliant (and this applies to the regular series) is that it’s that rare beast - appointment TV - none of this “catch all episodes on iPlayer now.”

There are so few wholesome moments on live news shows, but tonight’s #Newsnight @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social with @vicderbyshire.bsky.social and wronged former sub post master, #BettyBrown, 92, was one of those moments. Good to see justice for Betty, albeit 27 years too late. #PostOfficeScandal

#SamirZitouni Thank you.

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. That’s it. The disgrace is total.

I’ll wait for much of the msm to apologise to #RachelReeves for their hysterical and inaccurate reporting. Like Godot, I know it’ll be a long wait.

It ought to be Celia Imrie on #CelebrityTraitors delivering the line: farting is such sweet sorrow. (You can have that one, @scottygb.bsky.social @thetraitors.bsky.social @oficialthetraitors.bsky.social )

#LeonardAndHungryPaul Caught up with this delightful, gentle series based on two friends. Great leading cast, Alex Lather as Leonard, Laurie Kynaston as Paul, Jamie-Lee O’Donnell as Shelley. Based on the book by Rónán Hession. Celebrating the uncelebrated. And it’s so stylishly shot.

There is no one more suited to her ministerial role, than #JessPhilips. It’s now clear there is an orchestrated campaign to force her resignation. #Reform Ltd are behind this. I stand with Jess, and all the survivors.

Not that great at spotting a traitor, are they? 😂 #CelebrityTraitors | #TraitorsUK

I’d quite forgotten how dreadful a PM #BorisJohnson was. His “evidence” at the Covid Inquiry is a useful reminder.

True to type, another pompous statement from #PrinceAndrew Make no mistake, it’s King Charles and the Prince of Wales, who have forced his hand. His only ‘title’ should be Mr Andrew Windsor.

As Cilla would have said: Surprise, surprise.

Incredible that the #TurnerPrize has come to my home city of #Bradford. Amazing displays of art at Cartwright Hall. If you can, do visit. On until February.

I reckon @vicderbyshire.bsky.social does a brilliant job fronting #Newsnight I think she’s let down (as are we, the viewers) by fairly regular technical glitches. Suspect not a lot of experienced people up in the gallery.

Brava, Sally Wainwright. #RiotWomen is another masterpiece from your genius pen.

Alan, owning Tom 😂 “You can’t call someone a traitor, just because they’ve got a better vocabulary than you.” #CelebrityTraitors

Jonathan dressed as Bet Lynch in a clever distraction. #CelebrityTraitors

Let’s be clear. #Trump should never, ever receive a peace prize of any kind, let alone the Nobel Prize.

#CelebrityTraitors I think Alan Carr is going to sweat and drink his way through this. 😂

Please. Not now Dolly. America needs you. The world needs you. #DollyParton 🙏🏼

I’m not a #BBC basher, Yet I have just watched the news. #ChrisMason, whose narrative on the banning of marches for Palestine and the shocking murders in Manchester,have a relationship, If he wants to speculate, he might have said that you can condemn the murders AND support Palestinians.

She was, of course, best known for playing Hyacinth Bouquet, but her performance in Alan Bennett’s Talking Heads, was unforgettable. The curtain has fallen for Dame #PatriciaRoutledge

Horrified to hear of the violent attack at a synagogue in #Manchester, on the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. I am thinking of the victims, their loved ones & the emergency services responding. Violence can never ever be the answer.

The ridiculous #NadineDorries on @channel4news.bsky.social claiming Keir Starmer is inciting violence against #Farage. As a lawyer, I’m sure he’s more than able to issue proceedings against her. Though he’s busy running the country, while she’s busy spreading lies.

#KeirStarmer: “Think about it- when was the last time Nigel #Farage said something positive about Britain’s future? He can’t. He doesn’t like Britain. he wants to turn our proud country into a competition of victims. “ Bang on.

It’s only a game, and an odd one at that. But I really do hope the#RyderCupEurope @rydercupeurope.bsky.social team show those vulgar US “fans” how it’s played - with grace, style, dignity, and respect. Hole in one?

#England. #WomensWorldRugby Champions. That’s how you use the England flag 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I will be voting for #LucyPowell as deputy leader of The @teamlabouruk.bsky.social Party. I believe she is best placed to be an effective link between the membership and Labour in Parliament. My best wishes to Bridget Phillipson who is a formidable operator and a key Cabinet minister.

Here we have it. The #Trump impersonators, #Farage, denying the science. Not only is the #NHS in danger with a #Reform Ltd government, so is your very life.

I’ve said it once, I’ll say it again. Ignore the haters, London is the 🐐

I do wonder when America will wake up to what that lunatic in the White House is doing and saying.

I generally rate Chris Mason but it would make things easier for all if Robbie Gibb - Brexiter & Theresa May’s director of comms at Number 10 - were not still a non-executive director of the BBC. Everything he touches turns to shit. Including, at the moment, a lot of the Beeb’s political journalism.

What will it take for the disgraced Andrew #Windsor and #SarahFerguson, to disappear from public life? It was noted how they brazenly showed up at the Duchess of Kent’s funeral.They could have paid their respects privately, not - Andrew especially - grandstanding next to Charles & his heir. Ghastly.
