Robin Ince reveals to last night’s audience at a recording of Infinite Monkey Cage that the BBC has forced him to resign over his support of trans people

@memelessmischa.bsky.social sending you big smoochy hugs my wonderful friend. What a terrible day. But you made dinner and posted a pretty selfie and you made me laugh with stupid sexy Flanders. Thank you for being so fucking tenacious

Contact your MP. It matters. It makes a difference. (I know some of you have MPs it's not worth contacting. Contact them anyway, perhaps even more than you would an ally. Hound them)
