The BBC has an unsustainable financial model in a Licence fee that fewer and fewer people pay tho they do watch BBC output. Thank you Charles Moore and Boris Johnson for a successful campaign
against paying what is legally due.These two may succeed in killing the BBC yet.
@therestpolitics.bsky.social tremendous in latest episode on the vicious,unnecessary waged by US and Israel on Iran which is no threat to US. What a horror show grounded in the corruption of the monster in the White House
Hats off to brilliant London Centric for their devastating exclusive on the proposed mass eviction of Londoners from properties owned by dreadful Criterion Properties, prop. As if Aziz. Notices now withdrawn. This is what journalism does!
Keir Starmer should definitely not resign if Kemi Badenoch is the option before us. Over the top interview with Nick Robinson. And there are murky forces at work against Starmer-destabilising the UK is in lots of interests.
Why such feeble Government responses to Mandelson’s treachery? He could be off the Privy Council and the House of Lords by the weekend with determination and will. Then the police can set to work.
Astonishing pice on how the BBC gets information from Iran despite internet shutdown. What a great bational asset the BBC is.reutersinstitute.politics.ox.ac.uk/news/how-bbc-experts-con...
@WATO fantastic reporting from West Bank by @sarahMontague. Settler violence and intimidation sanctioned by Israeli State.Terrible stories from Palestinians.
Can’t cope with these levels of madness at this time of the morning
@BBC why not put up the excellent Panorama so that we can all judge its fairness for ourselves and not take Trumps word for it, or that of the organised right wing intent on destroying our public service media.
Murdoch press in full pursuit of the @BBC this fine morning. Can we step back and ask why the outrage? Could it be part of their sacred duty to destroy any semblance of public service in our media?
Could we just recognise the current attack on @BBC by the Telegraph, Johnson et al for what it is- not a complaint about inaccuracy or bias, but a full scale onslaught on the idea of public service media and the right of this country, to have a media not owned by far right billionaires.
As if we didn’t have enough to cope with
Maurice Glasman used to be a decent radical thinker. What happened to him that he now keeps such company?
Let’s have this on BBC News and on the front page of the Daily Mail.
Surely means to ‘politicise’ the judiciary. Tbf he is an absolute shocker.
Glasman used to be a decent bloke.
Great story. Great comments.
How is it possible that we are still exporting arms to Israel?
Outsourced Mitie workers at Sellafield are fighting for fair pay, while their CEO earns £14.7 million - 575 times the average worker's salary! Can you sign the worker's petition? www.megaphone.org.uk/petitions/su...
Sounds about right
Glasto! Obviously….
Please please please @BBC don’t make so much of Gaston coverage. It’s rock music. Rock musicians are rough on occasion. Not good but they’re not media moguls/archbishops/ legislators. Maybe British Lawyers fr Israel could find a sense of proportion?
Blimey- setting a low intellectual bar!
podfollow.com/beebwatch Absolutely fantastic podcast on BBC coverage of Palestinian issues. The brilliant Miqdaad Versi of the Muslim Council of Great Britain tells Roger Bolton how the BBC -whc he loves- can and must do better on balanced reporting
The Goodhart obsession with immigration is a bit odd.

Heathrow Airport is of course privately owned. This means dividends instead of necessary investment. Join the dots.
