It’s ironic but predictable that the BBC duo -who tried so hard to please the right wing papers-are removed by the right wing papers.

the right winger who was appointed to lead the BBC in the hope of appeasing right wingers has been driven out by right wingers for not appeasing right wingers enough and the BBC has the chance to do the funniest thing ever

We should defend the values and effort at accuracy of the BBC in a Trumpian world of wilful inaccuracy and hypocrisy, but this seems on the face of it to be an excessive response to a politically motivated attack

Have you ever seen Brighton lift the cup?

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

Don’t think talk radio is a barometer of anything but this feels authentic & quietly horrifying.

Riot Women on the BBC is an absolutely fantastic series. Sally Wainwright has done it again!

"I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain." This James Baldwin quote is hitting harder than ever.

A film you’ve seen more than seven times with a gif

I hope Tom Daley sues the BBC for that waxwork face of him #traitors

The nonce formerly known as Prince.

I do think this sort of open, gutter racism becoming normal enough that they feel comfortable saying it on TV is probably the most damning indictment of the last 5 years.

West Ham are cooked.

CELIA IMRIE IS A NATIONAL TREASURE #CelebrityTraitors

Look, you can't be a frontline social care worker unless you can explain what the dagger in Macbeth is a metaphor for. I don't make the rules.

Remember when the Boston Globe ran this supposedly over-the-top front page to attack the idea of Trump ever being president, and now this is just the news every day? We've fallen so, so far because of this man

It feels like something pretty dark is happening in this country right now.

Utterly despicable.

The even more unbelievable crime fact (which I learned relatively recently) is that burglary has fallen by more than 90% since the 1990s. Did anyone notice? Nope. Does anyone believe it? Nope. But is is true? It is!

All political tribes can be hypocritical but the right's current level of hypocrisy on free speech is deliberate. It's an assertion of power not a blindspot.

The WGA’s statement on ABC’s decision to pull “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”

Absolutely !!!insane!!! to me that the UK government, lobby and newspapers litigate at length every minor infraction by the BBC, rival newspapers, or what some random columnist has posted. But all of them just carry on not even commenting about this media owner. He’s not hiding, he’s telling you!

Well that’s one way to elevate the ECHR guidance on ‘same-sex spaces’ to further fuck the government.

Do people who pay for speedy boarding just burn money at home for fun? The biggest waste of money invented: you have an assigned seat.

Wow. A full balls to the wall reshuffle.

Now confirmed Cooper to FCDO Mahmood to Home Lammy to Justice

genuinely classy hand-written letter from Starmer to Rayner with the sign-off “best wishes and very real sadness”

Government has absorbed, correctly, that there is a conscious project to roll back a half century of making Englishness and Britishness identities based on more than ethnicity, but has no plan beyond going 'I too like flags' to defend it.

Booked for kicking the corner flag. Game has never been more gone.

Today marks the anniversary of the death of a hugely significant public figure: iconic and loved across the nation… RIP Geronimo the Alpaca.

The mainstream is being radicalised in front of our eyes.

I want to explain a few things and then it might be clearer why UK trans people are upset. In 2001 I married my wife, Sylvia. In 2005 I started medical transition. (1/13)

The brightest spark of lockdown football. The Michael/Ebs show. The Chess. The opening goal scorer in our FA Cup Quarter, Semi & Final wins. The Eberechi Oluchi Eze ❤️💙

FAO Jake Tapper, have you heard about this guy who has serious cognitive impairment, he’s just the President so you may not have heard about him

Game is fucking gone lads

That this is happening is not in the least surprising (we all predicted it), but what’s most disgusting is GC/TERF women denying the direct lived experiences of other women as “scaremongering”. Truly, transphobia breaks your brain. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

I think the most absurd thing about the Palace demotion is that being so pedantic and hardline on this case doesn't actually touch the multiple problems that multi-club ownership actually throws up. As someone in Uefa put to me, it's being strong on the negligible aspects.

Wembley. Palace. It’s what we do ❤️💙

it is perhaps worth noting the standard applied here - that it's legitimate, or even required, to exclude minority groups if their mere presence might cause "alarm or distress" to anybody else - and to ponder how else that standard might be applied

Just gonna state for the record that this is appalling, and the tell it's rooted in bigotry rather than women's safety is that it risks preventing trans men - a group assigned female at birth - from accessing using toilets. It's an unworkable bloody mess, and those pushing it should be ashamed.

It’s about fairness in women’s sports.
