I remain a fan of @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social #Newsnight , but in an already truncated programme of 28 mins, spending the last 5 minutes promoting itself, ahead of the Friday edition being shifted to its new 7pm time slot (a mistake, IMHO) has really irritated me. Sorry everyone working on the show.

A still of one of the ghastly people who were involved in alleged assaults against protesters at #Reform’s party conference. This coward has been captured on video (allegedly) attacking two women.

Oh dear, @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social #Newsnight. Your entire programme devoted to an ex member of the royals and his wife and kids coming back to the UK.

Were further evidence needed that reducing #Newsnight @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social by 15 minutes was a mistake, the programme tonight had to end, just as they were announcing the results of the Greater Manchester Mayorality by election.

Still baffles me why Government departments, including PM’s official account, his own account, and way too many MPs, continue to support Musk’s disinformation platform.

I love Graham Norton, but I found that interview with #Madonna, a bit painful. Publicly, at least, she seems hard work. (Accepting her brilliance as a songwriter and performer).

With you, Jennifer. As you say, “if done right”. I’m worried that if not done right, it’s just a bit of window dressing, with civil servants and advisors spending their lives on LNER. (Been there!)

The attacks in Edinburgh, in which an armed bare-chested white man terrorised Muslims, leaving five people injured, don't feature on a single newspaper front page this morning. Two tier journalism

I agree, Lizzi. Still surprises me that Government still uses Musk’s platform. (I also believe the Labour Party should abandon it)

One detail in this fascinating BBC investigation into the Russia-instigated attack on Keir Starmer's home is the way it shows, in passing but very clearly, that Tommy Robinson is to all intents and purposes a Russian asset. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Just in case you’re feeling even vaguely optimistic about anything right now, please note that two UK political parties populated & led by profoundly racist people are currently being described as merely ‘right-wing’ in pretty much every corner of the UK media. This is how the worst stuff happens…

When Mike Payne was suspended by the Conservative Party for his post on twitter referring to “Muslim Parasites” I thought we in Calderdale had seen the last of him. Calderdale Reform have just made him a cabinet member. Calderdale is better than this www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-engl...

This is an interesting intervention by Caroline. I’m not sure if the current Green leadership will take her advice. Certainly at a local level, they knew they’d split the vote when I was running for Labour - and guess what? They split the vote and Reform took a seat.

In his report for #BBCNews you’d be forgiven for thinking that Nick Eardly was talking about a general election, not local elections in England (and national elections for Scotland and Wales). Zero mention of local issues.

And I’m one of those fighting those elections, as a Labour candidate, Jim. I hope that’s what Wes believes, and is not just saying, knowing it will be leaked.
