Jimmy Kimmel, Charlie Kirk and Free Speech When Charlie Kirk was killed, the conversation was, rightly, about free speech and the ability to express views without being under threat. The same should be true following Jimmy Kimmel's removal from the air.

Madueke playing seriously well. Best outlet for Arsenal to get back in the game.

A letter from the hostage families to Sir Keir Starmer: They say: “Your regrettable announcement of the UK’s intention to recognise a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly has dramatically complicated efforts to bring home our loved ones." #bringthemhome #bringthemhomenow

Good grief. www.spectator.co.uk/article/lib-...

Magnificent! England going to the World Cup final! #rwc2025 #redroses

Before previewing tonight's game - here's a look back at the win over Everton: #WSL www.lilywhitewoman.co.uk/2025/09/revi...

Daily Mail vs Apple News Apple News has become a key driver of traffic for various publications. However, one major name that has thus far been unable to join the platform is the Daily Mail. The outlet traditionally generates huge amounts of Google search traffic. The infamous “sidebar of shame”…

What games to watch tonight?! There are four that I fancy, all at the same time!

Is Apple TV+ or Netflix better value? youtu.be/xYU_V1AkEyw

What is Better Value – Apple TV+ or Netflix? This time on TV+ Talk, Charlotte Henry and Chuck Joiner discuss whether Netflix or Apple TV+ is better value. They also unpack the kind of movies Apple makes...and Hollywood doesn't. Meanwhile, Charlotte gets excited about Gavin and Stacey creators…

Spurs totally on top at Goodison and deserve the 0-1 lead. Tottenham need the second goal while they are in command though, or they may come to regret it.

Ange Returns, Manchester Derby, Derby d’Italia – What to Watch This Weekend, 13-14 September There is a huge amount of fantastic football to watch this weekend: Premier League Arsenal vs Nottingham Forest: The Premier League is back, and so is Big Ange Postecoglou. After just a couple of months…

Press Gazette Future of Media Technology Conference: Perspective and Positivity Yesterday, I attended the Press Gazette’s Future of Media Tech Conference. It’s an important date in the diary for those trying to understand where our industry is going. Read how it went live, here.  Unsurprisingly,…

Yesterday's newsletter on why Charlie Kirk's killing is such an inflection point: newsletter.theaddition.net/posts/charli...

Charlie Kirk’s Killing is an Inflection Point I didn’t really know anything about Charlie Kirk until news of his death filtered through yesterday evening. IKEA is a strange place to learn about a shooting, especially one that feels significant. And it does feel significant. Both the UK and America…

WSL, Murdoch bios, Flava D: What I’m Watching, Reading, Listening to – September 9, 2025 What I’m Watching The big watch this week is the WSL, of course. Every game is on TV, so there is plenty to get stuck into, especially during a men’s international break. What I’m Reading I find myself…

Great episode this week, as @jamesrball.com returns to discuss Farage and The Murdochs. theaddition.net/podcast/jame...

James Ball on Nigel Farage and The Murdochs The New World's political editor James Ball returns to The Addition Podcast to discuss Reform leader Nigel Farage's funny free speech week. Ball was blocked from attending the Reform party conference, although he still managed to cause some mischief in…

ALL RISE! #nyy #99

It’s always shocking when you see someone true colours.

Just when you think Starmer can't get more pathetic.

Take WSL TV Coverage Seriously This weekend saw the Women’s Super League (WSL), the top tier of women’s football in the UK, recommence. With it, the new media deal kicked in. A reminder - that means 118 games on Sky Sports, with others available for free via the BBC and YouTube. There is plenty…

Ever wondered who would win in a fight between @jamesrball.com and me? Well, have I got a podcast episode for you tomorrow!

So... annotating/highlighting books as you read them. How do we feel about it?

Review: Big Game Night on Channel 5 On Sunday, Channel 5 brought the NFL back to free-to-air TV in the UK. It first showed the New York Giants vs the Washington Commanders and then the Detroit Lions taking on the Green Bay Packers. As I explained the other day, the coverage is broken down into two…

Starmer is set to meet with Abbas today.

Proud of my mater @emmaburnell.bsky.social taking over LabourList and pleased she's doing so at a quiet time that will really allow her to bed in.

Review: Spurs vs West Ham in WSL, 7 September, 2025 #WSL www.lilywhitewoman.co.uk/2025/09/revi...

The skipper.

I’ve defied the tube strikes and made it to Brisbane Road for Spurs vs West Ham for the start of the WSL season!

Good grief.

WSL, NFL, Tennis – What to Watch This Weekend, 6-7 September Women’s Super League Chelsea vs Man City - It seems odd to call the opening game of the season a title-decider, but it could well be, as the holders welcome Man City to Stamford Bridge. Kick-off is at 7.30pm BST/2.30pm ET. You can watch…

Tottenham Hotspur. Every time.

Women’s Sport Scores Summer Success On Sunday, I headed to Lord’s for The Hundred Finals day. The Hundred is the shortest form of the game. Each side bowls for a maximum of 100 balls and bats for a maximum of 100 balls. Uniquely for cricket in the UK, it is based on franchises, not counties.…

The Hypocrisy of the Nigel Farage Free Speech Show UK TV series, even very popular ones, don't always do that well when the go to the US. Nigel Farage looked to buck the trend on Wednesday, when he took his show Stateside. Farage was appearing in front of the House Judiciary Committee to talk…

How is Kemi Badenoch's job more in peril today than Angela Rayner's? How has she managed this? HOW?!

Quite amazing that Kemi Badenoch actually managed to lose that #PMQS.

Reeves and Rayner looking absolutely gaunt either side of Starmer. #pmqs
