Dear Crystal Palace, Thank you. Love, Everyone.

Nathan Gill is no fringe politician. He was the leader of the Reform Party and before that UKIP in Wales. A Brexit Party MEP. A friend and ally of Nigel Farage, who in 2016 called him: "terrific," and "as honest as the day is long." This is a MASSIVE story www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Absurd Wordle word.

100 goals in 104 matches for Harry Kane at Bayern Munich. Phenomenal.

Someone has turned February back on.

JUST NOW AT THE UN…

The sheer hypocrisy of this. You have to "show your papers" to vote in a general election. I have to "show my papers" to examine a PhD thesis. I can't sing evensong down the road without "showing my papers". The Mail backed all these Tory changes. But suddenly Labour is turning us into Stasiland

I work for a predominantly golf-focused agency, and I appear to be the only person who hasn't booked this afternoon off. Can't think why...

#Fifa would earn their first positive global coverage for about 50 years if they stripped the US of every match and moved them to Mexico and Canada. Just do it. Orange prick doesn't deserve the World Cup. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

There is literally no brain fart from Rooney #BBCSport will not publish.

Tory Helen Whately is doing the media rounds saying the benefits bill is out of control and the two-child cap should stay. The same Helen Whately who claims £39k/pa rental expenses despite living 50 miles from Westminster. Brain dead, and morally bankrupt. #r4today #BBCBreakfast

BBC, in association with AFP, the Associated Press & Reuters, has launched a short film calling on the Israeli authorities to allow international journalists access to Gaza. The film, narrated by veteran BBC journalist David Dimbleby. Pressure increasing. www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cVK...

If any Mayor is to replace Starmer it will be Sadiq Khan.

Dear friends. Give me a word that ages you more than any other. I'll start. 'Foolscap'

Sir Sadiq Khan: Trump is racist and sexist www.bbc.com/news/article...

Kimmel: "The President of the United States made it very clear he wants to see me and the hundreds of people who work here fired from our jobs. Our leader celebrates Americans losing their livelihoods because he cannot take a joke."

Happy #SlowHorses day to those who celebrate.

Know I'm hideously late to the party, but #Severance is terrific.

Just the President of the US telling the United Nations that the UK wants to go to Sharia law. How in the fuck did anyone look at this brainless sack of shit and say “Yep, that’s the guy to run the most powerful nation on earth”?

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

'I think I counted 30 references to Nigel Farage there,' says Chris Mason of Ed Davey's Lib Dem conference speech. That would rank at about =57th in Mason's 2025 list of reports and stories. #BBCReform

Imagine being these world leaders and experienced diplomats and just having to sit there and listen to this maniac talking absolute dangerous bollocks for hours. It’s sometimes hard to believe this is real life.

Truly facile, awful analysis by Nick Robinson normalising hate speech by 'ordinary people' and equating it with free speech. The boiling point is too many of Britain's commentators unthinkingly wading in the toxic swamp of X and believing it is what passes as normal.

Fair play to Sadiq Khan. To live rent-free inside the head of the president of the USA is a massive achievement for any Mayor of London.

Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey slams the UK media's "easy ride" for Farage: "As he lies, as he divides, the BBC and others give Farage so much time... They never hold him to account for all the damage he has already done. The damage of Brexit... So much of what is broken today is broken thanks to Farage."

No actor who sings 'Domin-oh-hoo-hoo' should be allowed to work again.

Who else thought they meant smaller pints? www.bbc.co.uk/sport/horse-...

At BBC Reform, this is the most important story in the world right now. Their news editors are plain warped.

What on Earth is this? An "in depth" BBC article about free speech in the UK that only cites examples of right-wing/ 'anti-woke' speech being suppressed. How can you mention Lucy Connolly but completely ignore Palestine Action / Just Stop Oil? Gob-smacking. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

'But Farage is not alone in questioning how far restrictions to freedom of speech have gone in the UK.' Classic 'both sidesing' from a founder member of the Macclesfield Young Conservatives. Drip, drip, torrent from #BBCReform www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Kemi Badenoch should throw Liz Truss out of the Tory party. See my letter below 👇

Hard to believe GB News can be any worse than this incessant unfounded bigotry from Webb. #r4today

Nature and The Lancet sitting up and taking note of such rigorous, evidence-based research and insight.

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.

@eddavey.libdems.org.uk is 100% touching a nerve at the BBC. Do please keep prodding.

BBC Reform summed up perfectly. Horribly conflicted, and all Violet Elizabeth Bott when confronted with the bleedin' obvious. Not sure the Lib Dems have had 35 paras of any kind whatever since the elction on the BBC News site.

There should be a high bar for politicians attacking the media, but maybe Ed Davey has half a point here? For example, the first three paragraphs of this BBC story repeat Reform's £243bn figure without saying that the thinktank behind the estimate now disowns it. (This is mentioned in paragraph 35)

Imagine putting David Mencer on the media round thinking it's strong, convincing PR. The man is an unhinged, bigoted, nasty hate-monger. #r4today

The British prime minister’s 'global talent task force' is working on ideas to lure the world’s best scientists, academics and digital experts, at a time when the US has moved sharply in the other direction on.ft.com/4pAwJfj

Aside from, you know, the PM doing a article in The Sun today on it, multiple interventions by cabinet ministers hitting Reform and the far right this week and various other statements by the PM over the weekend. No, Labour have had nothing to say.

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous. It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy." Because that's not how America works. play.prx.org/listen?ge=pr...

#BBCSport gets so breathlessly, embarrassingly, giddily carried away about 'Keely' you half hope she loses just to shut them up. And so it turns out...

Elon Musk is no friend of our United Kingdom. He should be held to account for allowing truly vile and illegal child abuse content on his platform.

Same, maybe from about six months ago.

BBC headline signed Chris Mason at Farage conference: “Reform conference shows party's growing ambition like never before.” Laura Kuenssberg, BBC headline for LibDem conference: “Ed Davey loves clowning around, but is it time the Lib Dems got serious?” Fuck you, BBC.
