Someone asked if I have been shadowbanned on here, because they haven’t seen my posts for weeks. I am not shadowbanned, I’ve just been quiet on socials and substack. I’ve focusing on teaching and navigating the fallout from my firing from @washingtonpost.com — it’s been psychologically hard.

This is a genuinely intolerable reality…

Pundit critics: “We need to disrupt orthodoxies!” BBC (just occasionally) runs some daring coverage Same critics: “no, not my orthodoxies!”

The reaction to the Panorama edit has been nothing short of hysterical. Yes the BBC has some impartiality problems. But its biggest isn't the one you think. New piece from me. open.substack.com/pub/goodalla...

open.substack.com/pub/iandunt/... Exactly. @iandunt.bsky.social

See what’s happening. A Trumpist US media company has taken over Channel 5. Another US company is gunning for ITV. Our social media is saturated by Musk’s calls for civil war in the UK. The BBC is the last thing standing, and Trump/Johnson are trying to bring it down

This is quite the graph and reinforces my view that Bluesky is actually quite revolutionary.

Just absolutely classic BBC. You've just broadcast the most successful programme of the year, uniting Gen Z kids online and Boomers on broadcast in a return to appointment television. And instead of celebrating, your DG reigns due to a made-up right-wing scandal.

This is unbelievable. Just a complete lack of belief in objectivity. And the BBC fucking caved to it

What you’re witnessing is a populist assault on the BBC. This is not an institutional scandal in any meaningful sense of the word. It is an attack on public service broadcasting. iandunt.substack.com/p/extra-edit...

Trump's whingeing can now dispatch the director general of the BBC. He must be delighted. I thought we had more balls than this.

Surprised how indignant a lot of people are about Davie’s resignation, given how relentlessly the BBC is criticised on here. I don’t say the BBC should be beyond criticism. Far from it. But it’s not just the right that’s been steadily undermining it.

Outrage justified. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

It's out: The epic of the Labour party, from Keir Hardie to Keir Starmer. An endless tragicomic cycle in which right and left try to murder each other, succeed, fall apart, are murdered in turn, and then begin anew.

A great day for the golden rule of political analysis: when the right wins it is a resounding ideological victory that humiliates the left and when the left wins it is a precarious fluke that will surely end up humiliating the left. Conservatives are power’s landlords and the left merely tenants

Honestly TELL THE STORY. Won’t someone just tell the fucking story of how Brexit created this economic hardship, how a Muslim immigrant just saved the lives of those commuters on that train, won’t someone in politics or even media just connect the fucking dots and TELL THE STORY. IT’S RIGHT THERE

Just nice to see an American progressive leader who is unafraid and victorious. Really no more to it than that. What a beautiful fucking sight.

Dems just won everything remotely winnable. But I expect the British derp on “we must understand Donald Trump’s popularity and/or imitate Trump” to continue. He’s popular when opposing. He’s deeply unpopular when required to run anything. There’s your lesson.

the political director for trump’s 2024 campaign today gave the game up and said trans rights literally don’t matter in deciding elections it is “not even the top five issues, according to voters” per the intv with @politico.com
