I was already worried about Trump’s mental decline—it just got worse In the past week alone, the US president has depicted himself as Jesus and picked a row with the pope

Does Trump know that he’s speaking nonsense? Does he care? A DEI label would be “a tendency to externalise first thoughts”. But maybe we could just say the guy is one taco short of a combo plate. app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/73055/...

Thank you !

As a clinical psychologist I have to say that I concur with your diagnosis

I was already worried about Trump’s mental decline—it just got worse In the past week alone, the US president has depicted himself as Jesus and picked a row with the pope

Last week I suggested that maybe Donald Trump was not quite all there. I would like to revise that opinion. I think he may be what we used to call stark raving bonkers. app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/73055/...

A number of British academics and ex-academics just lost a potential pay cheque.

Was it only four days ago The Telegraph comment pages were gazing into their tea leaves ?

We need to talk about Donald Trump’s mental health The increasingly incoherent and volatile president is much easier to understand if we come to terms with one thing

The most powerful man in the world doesn’t have the mental capacity to do the job. Or to put it another way, he’s nuts. It’s time we all recognised that app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/72990/...

Britain has stopped believing in freedom of protest Recent police raids show the authorities are clamping down not just on protest, but the very idea of it

Cops have twice raided Quaker meeting houses to arrest people- and seize their phones/laptops - without so far charging anyone. Are we seeing pre-emptive policing to make the very idea of protest impossible? www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/ideas/identi...

GB News appears to be breaching Ofcom’s code, which is meant to keep news impartial, writes @arusbridger.bsky.social.

The former official who wrote the code is also worried

Why isn’t Ofcom investigating GB News? Is the regulator is turning a blind eye to the channel’s content?

Why has @Ofcom allowed GB News to become the broadcasting arm of Reform UK? Chris Banatvala literally wrote the rules when he was i/c standards at Ofcom. He's on @mediaconfpod this week with @lionelbarber and me to discuss what's going on www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/podcasts/med...

GB News seems to have become Reform TV—and Ofcom hasn’t stopped it Whether they are charged with keeping our news impartial, our water clean or our elections fair, Britain’s regulators are dozing

Clean information and clean elections are as important as clean water. But are the regulators up to the job? The way GB News has quietly been allowed to become Reform TV should alarm us all app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/72784/...

The regulated period for broadcasters for the upcoming elections starts 26 March. From then, broadcasters must ensure party coverage is duly impartial and that parties receive appropriate coverage based on their past and current electoral support. So be ready with the complaints form.

If (as Andrew Neil says) GB News has become Reform TV then maybe there’s a case for the @ElectoralCommUK to start taking an interest app.prospectmagazine.co.uk/story/72784/...

Do your duty! Watch an hour of GB News We need Ofcom to act against a TV channel out of control. Here’s how you can help

People have asked what they can do about GB News turning into Reform TV. ⁦‪@TheNewWorldmag‬⁩ has had the inspired idea of suggesting lots of people watch an hour of programming and then let them (and ⁦‪@Ofcom‬⁩) know what you think www.thenewworld.co.uk/matt-kelly-d...

Since Ofcom seems to have given up, we asked 20 experienced journalists from a range of backgrounds to watch multiple hours of @gbnewsonline.bsky.social . Their conclusion: the channel has, in effect, become Reform TV. How did it happen? www.thenewworld.co.uk/alan-rusbrid...
