Google’s former Europe boss close to becoming next head of BBC, sources say Appointment of Matt Brittin as director general would be latest sign of big tech’s power in media world

Google’s former Europe boss close to becoming next head of BBC, sources say

David Starkey just can’t help himself: now he’s talking about black people ‘dipped in chocolate’

The once-respected historian has descended into public racism again on his podcast. The even bigger problem is, he’s now an adviser to the hard right

The IDF have bulldozed part of a Gaza cemetery containing the war graves of British soldiers from WWI and WWII

Thank you for all the support and solidarity in 2025. Onward and upward in 2026! xx

No idea who Laurent Brindeau is, but isn’t this caricature of @zackpolanski.bsky.social in today’s @dailymailpolitics.bsky.social ragingly antisemitic?

Erika Kirk hosted a $10,000-a-plate black-tie gala at Mar-a-Lago this past weekend.

Like every grieving widow.

Yes, and clearly an impartially breach - though the bbc did not uphold viewer complaints

If BBC News was a hotbed of left-wing wokery producing *systemically* biased coverage Jeremy Corbyn may well have been elected Prime Minister in 2019.

It’s not. He wasn’t.

And we got Boris Johnson instead.

Should Gibb be sacked? yes, obviously. He's an abomination of basic journalistic standards. His GB News channel spreads conspiracy theory & disinformation. His Jewish Chronicle newspaper spreads invented stories. He is plainly trying to undermine the BBC so it's as bad as everything else he touches.

Patriots on the Prowl: the rise in anti-migrant vigilantism – HOPE not hate The far right have long framed hate as “protecting the community”. The spate of anti-migrant protests that commenced this summer is no exception, with organisers...

💥NEW: Across the UK, vigilante groups are on the rise, patrolling UK streets in the name of “public safety”.

In reality, many of these self styled "guardians" are little more than bullies with violent pasts.

Anyway, we need some joy, so here's the Egyptian foreign minister being given a Lego Pyramid by the Danish foreign minister.

When #Lbc James O'Brien pretends to oppose the spreading racism, do you ever hear him ask why its spreading?

We live a country now, where there is literally an Orwellian 2 minutes hate, Immigrant immigrant, immigrant, hate hate hate, pushed by radio stations, like #LbcNews, ever 30 minutes!

Things that are simultaneously true:

Antisemitism exists in U.K. & must end

Maccabi fanbase incl a hardcore racist hooligan faction

U.K. policing has been substantially under-resourced for years

PMs & Home Secs should stay out of operational decisions made by police forces

‘Is the UK complicit in genocide?’

As the humanitarian pause in Gaza gets underway could our government be held responsible for not doing more to end the war and if so, how?

I’m at the #NBPAConference asking tough questions in front of a great audience. It promises to be fascinating: BBC Panorama has chosen today to release its investigation into alleged racism, misogyny & abuse of power within the Metropolitan Police

A timeless quote

Shocking, isn’t it.

When I hosted a show at LBC many of you wrote to me asking me to watch The Labour Files and to interview Martin Forde KC. In heavily biased legacy media environments doing that was a risk. But as journalists it’s our job to platform perspectives the public should hear without fear or favour.

If you see this, please share it.

Then listen to the media to see if you hear them mention it.

Thank you Helen

Jimmy Kimmel’s show has been axed by ABC who claim the decision is down to falling ratings instead of his repeated criticism of powerful political forces and prevailing right wing narratives.

Gosh, we’re so lucky that we live in a country where private media companies would never do that..

“What happened to me is part of a broader purge of Black voices from academia, business, government, and media — a historical pattern as dangerous as it is shameful — and tragic.”

Thank you for sharing. I hadn’t seen it

Likewise Georgy!
