The fact is no presenter has ever had to leave the BBC for expressing conservative views, or even explicitly endorsing a right-wing party. Was never a problem for Jeremy Clarkson. Was never a problem for Andrew Neil. Was never a problem for Alan Sugar

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

Merry Crisis! My new Christmas special is here and you’ll want to sing along. 🎄🔥😅

Enjoyed "The War Between The Land And The Sea." Better than a lot of recent Who (not a criticism.) Tovey was exceptional with Mbatha-Raw also strong.

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake? TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

"Can we all calm down for a minute? It appears my command to take no prisoners, exterminate all traces of life, and torch any semblance of international law has been misinterpreted. You shouldn’t rush to conclusions until you have all the facts."

2 in 3 of Nigel Farage’s current and former partners do not speak English as their first language.

I HAD A DREAM………….

Pete Hegseth should have appropriately renamed the DoD to the “Department of War Crimes.”

🚨 🦅 Breaking Military News: The display of this plaque at West Point, which says exactly what six Democratic veterans posted about our military service members' oaths to our Constitution and law not to any leader, is also, according to Trump, "punishable by DEATH!"

Nus Ghani MP - the Deputy Speaker - moved to the UK as a small child. She has been elected by the voters in Wealden in 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2024 More outright racism from the regular GB News & Talk TV contributor Lucy White - who previously called (on GB News) for all Muslims to leave Britain

Holy shit. This video gave me chills. If you watch one thing today, please let it be this. Women’s March is speaking directly to ICE agents, to their humanity & asking them to walk away from Trump’s unconstitutional crackdowns. Watch. Like. Share. Make it impossible to ignore. youtu.be/684ncxqERO4

So the line is that he wasn't getting paid for any of this

As the 2005-6 Ashes series begins and effectively ends over the course of two days, here's Henry Rupert James Charlwood. England cricketer in the very first test in Australia and former Chesterfield FC footballer. (1872-3, one known appearance.)

President Zelenskyy doesn't need Trump's 28 point peace plan. Only one step is necessary. #ProudBlue #Pinks #TrumpIsARussianAsset

BREAKING: Republican Senator Roger Wicker, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, attacks Trump’s “peace plan” to end the Ukraine war: “Ukraine should not be forced to give up its lands to one of the world’s most flagrant war criminals in Vladimir Putin.”

Farage’s Pal and traitor, Reform UK’s Nathan Gill, took Kremlin bribes and the press handled it like a Reform Councillor seeing a fanny in real life - panicked, confused and completely unable to comment. He’s sentenced tomorrow and I bet you’ve barely heard about it 👇🏼 youtu.be/kDUmlc8Ksrg?...

One quote, "Sounds like he did not in fact escape the Nazis."

This man, Rev. Michael Woolf, wrote this for us earlier this month: "It is up to us to keep our communities safe from this terror, and scripture tells us that God will meet us there—at the picket line, amid the tear gas." sojo.net/articles/opi...

Good news, you have power...massive power to stop #ICELawlessness & abuse. All it takes is a call. 202-224-3121 Your voice matters no matter what party your lawmakers are from. If your lawmaker is a Republican, they need to see you oppose this. If they're Democrats, encourage them to get louder.

Trump faced impeachment for the riots, & in a world where Republicans had more courage, he would have been found guilty. He has forced US media companies to compensate him for reporting facts & now has caused the BBC to sack senior executives for an accurate represetation of his actions.

This guy is a legend Expressing the collective thoughts of the world.

Seems Sarah Pochin turned her clocks back to the 1970s last night.

In the wake of Charlie Kirk's death, a TN sheriff had a 61-yr-old man arrested for posting a meme on Facebook, which the sheriff absurdly construed as a threat. It was pretty clearly bullshit but I dug into the case using FB & public records and now it looks even worse. My latest @theintercept.com:

“Elon Musk is Tommy’s sugar daddy.” Not even satire, it’s a source. I’ve got the receipts and the rage, Tiny Tommy is a traitor. If you’ve got a fash pork dad, post it in the family WhatsApp group chat, I dare you. It’ll fuck him right off. youtu.be/IS1lCAnflYc?...

I'm just a lowly art historian, but in moments like these I always think back to one early sign of Trump's wanton, pointless destructiveness: his demolition of the priceless & irreplaceable Art Deco relief sculptures on facade of the Bonwit Teller building, which he tore down to build Trump Tower

Proud papa moment: my son J published a letter in the @nytimes.com today (in print tomorrow) on the need to think our definitions of autism.

SCOOP: The State Department's new reorganization plan includes the opening of an "Office for Remigration," a term popularized by far right extremists and neo-Nazis in Europe. The office will coordinate directly with DHS "to advance the President’s immigration agenda." My report:

We are very close to the US government determining that anyone on the streets in late October wearing fancy dress is an enemy of the state & will be arrested!

Some good, brave stuff happening

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion. As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

This is awesome.

The following is REAL footage from Portland, 2025. Viewer discretion is advised.

Good morning everyone Got my ANTIFA reading list Now where are those #EpsteinFiles?

So the people who are opposing Trump can trace their roots all the way back to those who were opposing Hitler... I wonder who the enemy is?

After a couple of non-official roles, I was confirmed to the CFSS board, the then owners of @chesterfieldfc.bsky.social on 5 Oct 2005. My post as vice-chair contined as I became a trustee, & one-time chair, of @spireitestrust.bsky.social. My official role at the Trust & Club, since 2020 continues.

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet. After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵
