Do not curse the darkness of men, for they act from necessity, moved by causes of self importance. Seek not to hate, nor to mock, nor to lament, but to understand. For understanding is the mind’s liberation, and joy is the increase of one’s power to be. The freer you become.. #StandMighty #Free

The NHS has kept me alive and I love it; the BBC has made my life worth living. I would put every drop of energy I have into defending both of them.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms. He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

I’ve never seen this picture before. It is so moving, and justifies being PHOTO OF THE DAY

At some point we probably do have to ask whether relentless interference in UK democratic institutions and processes by Trump and his fellow travelers (inc Vance and Musk) is a price worth paying for a marginally less damaging tariff rate than the EU.
