πŸ‘ πŸ‘ @chelfulhamben.bsky.social: "The swiftest way to achieve growth is for the Government to be even more ambitious in negotiating with the European Union."

Exactly right. Closer relations with the EU will boost our economy.

The BBC has bigger impartiality problems than its coverage of Trump It is the BBC’s entire governance structure–rather than individual stories–that should cause most concern

On the BBC’s difficult governance structure, this piece by @arusbridger.bsky.social has already been widely shared but is worth a read: buff.ly/5U3iTeH

It makes me wonder whether Prescott actually consulted the original source himself & doctored it or simply took dictation from someone else. A person, for example, who had helped insert a right-wing lobbyist who hadn’t done journalism for over 20 years into such a potentially important position…

To knit together two stories: through intimidation, litigation & extortion, Trump is clearly trying to create a media ecosystem where nobody asks him about Epstein - or indeed anything discomfiting. It is appalling to see so many UK media individuals & institutions aiding & abetting his corruption.

Who is Michael Prescott - the so called ex independent advisor to the BBC? Former political editor of the Sunday Times, Boris Johnson appointee and currently works for Hanover Communications. Funny there is NOTHING online about Prescott and/or Hanover’s clients. Funny that - a large rat is smelt.

Beth Rigby: "Keir Starmer has changed his top team more than I've had hot dinners."

In two years before Starmer we had 3 PMs, 4 Chancellors, 3 Foreign Secretaries, 5 Home Secretaries, 5 Education Secretaries, 5 Cabinet Secretaries, etc. - total 221 ministerial departures.

Maybe Beth is on a diet.

Hi Emma Here is the library of Trinity College Dublin - been wanting to visit for years. Finally made it to find all 200,000 books removed for cleaning and conservation for first time in 300 years - still amazing though !

Ex-Justice officials: 'It's our duty to sound the alarm' Scores of officials who have resigned or been forced out of the Justice Department this year are speaking out against its "destruction."

282 former DOJ officials signed a letter sounding the alarm about "this administration’s degradation of DOJ’s vital work, and its assault on the public servants who do it."

The fact that hundreds felt compelled to say this speaks volumes.

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"

Russians are shocked by the surge of hatred toward Russia in Europe over the past four years. How could that be? Why?

It doesn’t occur to them that maybe invading a neighboring state has something to do with it.

'Farage could never be trusted to run Britain after getting Brexit so wrong' No Brexit champion, particularly Nigel Farage, is worthy of high office after proving so conclusively wrong on such a seismic issue, says Mirror Associate Editor Kevin Maguire

Farage is a con man who would burn his country to the ground to rule over the ashes!

Police-style mugshots and fingerprinting just to go on holiday around Europe are another major reason why Nigel Farage and Reform UK could never be trusted to run Britain.

The framing of the Gaza ceasefire by Trevor Phillips as some sort of vindication of Trump in some ongoing battle with the Labour gov't is just so small, so English, and so misconceived as to be genuinely funny.

But, also, quite enough from him for another week.
