Rich, foreign based, right-wing owners have controlled British news for too long.

Two billionaire (tax absent) right-wing media barons (one a US citizen, the other a non-dom) own almost 3/4 of the weekly newspaper circulation in the UK… How can that be right? They have an outsized influence over our country. We need to reform media ownership rules.

Right-wing nuts in my comments about me (openly) bidding for the Observer whilst their hero donates to Reform…and who runs the media now btw. Lefties? Hardly. Tax absent, rich right-wing nuts.

Haven’t watched a full episode of #BBCQT in years. Most enjoyable to watch Farage getting his arse handed to him by Campbell over Brexit. But the star turn was this guy.

First Blair now Campbell eviscerates the politician who’s more dodgy than Gregg Wallace’s sock drawer.

In case it wasn’t clear, the policy is that blocking roads and causing people disruption is a disgrace when it’s people I oppose and fantastic when it’s people I support

Oh dear, I seem to have put all the gammons in a rage over this. Happy days :-)

BREAKING NEWS: French billionaire Jean-Louis Le Riche and German industrialist Hans-Dietrich Geldmann have agreed to donate 200m Euros to a new campaign to get 🇬🇧 back into the EU after the disaster of Brexit. Happy to announce I will be campaign director. I’m sure Nigel Farage MP

Absolutely bonkers… Carbon capture is a waste of time and money - everyone knows… except the government? How can taxpayers be liable up to £6bn for a technology with such a long history of failure…? We should be putting £££ into renewables, not the pockets of fossil fuels

Give me a break… Farage would be crying ‘foul globalist corruption’ if a foreign donor wanted to support any other party. Let’s play fair and square. End all political donations now and publicly fund elections…

Musk’s megalomania grows apace. He’s clearly trying to engineer a far-right revolution across the western world. He’s now backed the AfD. Before that Reform. And he’s the dominant figure in Trump world. He’ll clearly get behind Le Pen.

If you’re looking for a great read about hiking across Britain, the human condition, and finding beauty and kindness in unexpected places, then this is the book for you. goodreads.com/review/show/71… Patrick Davies

Matt Damon destroys Elon Musk's deranged neoliberal worldview in 1 minute

Shocking to see such ministerial complacency in the face of risk that our fragile democracy is further undermined. The issue of reforming party funding was in Labour’s manifesto & they should act now, before what little trust is left is totally destroyed theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

There's the black hole Labour has been searching for

Thanks to the Republican Congress, and a tsunami of lies from Musk and others, the only US agency dedicated to tracking and exposing Russian and Chinese propaganda around the world ceases to exist france24.com/en/live-news/2… france24.com/en/live-news/2…

A pretty damning first five years of Brexit, quantified here rather neatly.

A shame Evan Davis we didn’t hear from Karen Inglis on self publishing on #BBCPM tonight after Bill Bryson’s narrow view. Publishers now have little money to take risks, so they focus on known names. If you do get a deal, they have no money for marketing. So why not go it alone?
