This means the licence fee remains on the chopping block, and converting the BBC into a Netflix style subscription model is on the table. Nandy has neither the wit or the will to see beyond the decades long right wing attempts to destroy the BBC as a unifying bulwark against insipid individualism.
Just seen whatshisface in the park during my lunchtime walk.
Jenrick says he did a c.£50m "favour" for Tory donor Desmond because he wanted to "build homes" yet the ex Housing Secretary also cut the number of 'affordable homes' on the development, saving Desmond ~£106m Will anyone ask Jenrick what he rec'd in return & why he is so fkn corrupt? @lbc.co.uk
Laila Cunningham was on #bbcwato at lunchtime, and is on #Newsnight tonight. Quite incredible how the actual criminal gets through every news programme at the BBC on some sort of rotation.
The authorities are getting too close to the truth Farage appears to think if he steps down from being Reform leader for a while, it will all go away, and he can later retire to a beach earning 20% on his roubles. If only life were that easy.
As the BBC reports that Trump has threatened "consequences" for NATO members who don't spend billions more on (American) weapons systems. I'm reminded of this from April this year. It's just so exhausting. #r4today
The most openly corrupt president in US history. The BBC recently reported how much money Trump has made from crypto. At no point, as they breathlessly discussed his amazing business skills, did the word "corruption" pass a BBC journalist's lips. Read this thread & ask yourself why? #r4today
The Economist summarises its mission with the motto that has appeared beneath its name since its founding in 1843: "To take part in a severe contest between intelligence, which presses forward, and an unworthy, timid ignorance obstructing our progress." #r4today
If you were wondering on which days and times the rest of England's world cup games will be broadcast on the way to the final against France, I've got you covered. #ItsComingHome 🏴🦁🦁🦁
(Sir) Richard Shirreff was just interviewed on #r4today, promoting even more spending on defence. Who pays him? Nick Robinson did not ask.
"Lord" West: "Things like welfare are unimportant when you lose a war, and Russian and Chechen soldiers are coming down the street raping and murdering you" The question #bbcpm then failed to ask, so I'll do it for them. AI, who funds Lord West?
Vanity Fair: "Can Kylie Jenner Really Make AI Glasses Cool?" (www.vanityfair.com/story/kylie-...) Um, not while this dork lives. #Meta #Zuckerberg #bbcpm
Another Muslim refugee terrorist trying to kill our kids, how many more... Oh. #JaggerStrang #bbcpm
The judge said Trump raped E Jean Carroll, and now Supreme Court has refused to overturn the judgement. It's becoming rarer and rarer as the billionaires buy our democracies and judicial systems, but sometimes, just sometimes, the good guys still win.
Do Morrisons freezers ever work for more than a few days at a time?
Ofc, our far right, media, mostly foreign owned, should shoulder a large part of the blame (along with their promoters in chief at the BBC) #ClimateCatastrophe #r4today
I asked AI when I might be able to open the windows in order to cool down. The response was not great.
Farage, the Express, & others on the far right will keep banging on about "betrayal of the biggest democratic vote in British history" until we vote again. That vote should be high on the agenda of any party wanting to end the economic catastrophe & chaos, and to rein in the reach of the far right.
A reminder that I tried. Repeatedly. #PeoplesVote #StopBrexit
And she thinks that's a bad thing? Sometimes there are not enough lolz in the world. #Truss
As long as Brexit is clearly a failure, Britain's far right press (& Farage, obvs), will pretend that there was always a better Brexit available, but it just went to different school. This will go on forever, unless our cowardly political leaders find the cohones to tell the truth about Brexit.
