I understand the pressures on the BBC, but Radio 4's coverage of the Minneapolis shooting is an example of "bad balance". It's all "the Trump regime says she was a terrorist, but Democrats say it was murder". The BBC has the footage. It doesn't have to treat truth and falsehood as equally valid.

I was always unimpressed by the way the Viet Nam was bad because Americans were being killed in it and nothing else.

No chance until Starmer and Reeves are gone. A pair of over promoted clueless neoliberals, out of their depth and titing about pretending they know what they're doing.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why heās so strong on it: āBecause weāre always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means itās not about disliking immigrants. Itās about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And thatās a bad human instinct.ā

The Express is furious about this because the moment you show those who repeat anti-immigration rhetoric the real human stories their narrative collapses. The āimmigrantsā are people. Our friends, colleagues and family. And itās this nation of neighbours that is what makes Britain great.

I guess a few of you will remember when the streaker craze started. There was even a lad at my senior school who was, in dear ol' John Arlott's mind, a "freaker" (from my book, Made in Luton).

The 50 wealthiest families own more wealth than the bottom 50% of the population. How can this Labour Government say this is a "cost of living" budget and refuse to tax the rich? They care about protecting power and wealth. And cost of living is a buzz phrase for them. Dire.
