The BBC is concentrating more on advertising, marketing, and lulling us all to sleep for the winter.

That's why Starlink went down. Musk is fighting to save the data centres and fighting for Putin.

The BBC is focused on promotional programming to the extent they are bordering on becoming an advertising and marketing organisation. They are crossing the red lines of their charter.

He was telling us that we have enemies within. Enemies intent on causing hatred, division, and chaos. #newsnight

I suppose you will mention his comment that Russian interference in our politics is old news. Do you want to ask Johnson if he wants to change his mind? #newsnight

Considering the cash was stolen from the Russian people, Deloitte is complicit in money laundering. There is much more to this than tax evasion. The entire board should answer to a judge.

There is no doubt austerity was a disaster. However, the good news may be an indicator of better economic times to come

Good news doesn't sell papers apparently. Will it make the headlines on #newsnight or #politicslive ? @vicderbyshire.bsky.social

If we must have massive data centres, they should be built on the coast or offshore, they should provide their own clean power and be cooled by sea water. Trump international golf course in Aberdeen would be an ideal location. #politicslive

The figures I would like to see are the total amount of Russian cash donated to the Conservative party and Conservative MP's. What did Putin get in return? #politicslive

Johnson didn't need to ask security services about Russian interference because he was part of that interference. #politicslive

Neither doing very well then, buying oil off an old enemy that is supporting a current enemy doesn't exactly make any sense . The USA has never been so weak.

Judging by the huge amounts of cash donated by Russia to the Conservative party and those individuals, it is likely they were part of the conspiracy.

#Badenoch isn't keen on her own Tory "inheritance", so she conveniently forgets the 14 years of destruction... ...which her party are guilty of, especially the underfunding of everything that is now in a mess: prisons, #NHS, water, etc #ukpolitics #IHT #ToriesBrokeBritain #Brexit #privatisation

Chris Mason pens article about Polanski's leadership while remaining silent about Reform's fourth place or, indeed, Badenoch's less than stellar performance in Thursday's byelection.

Is it possible the reason is a compromised president doing as he is told.

In my lifetime (77 years), the USA has never been as weak as it now is. Forced by Iran and Russia to surrender its sanctions and values to get a few votes for the madman. It probably has a lot to do with blackmail videos curtesy of Putin and Epstein .

Ian @ianpadg.bsky.social · 10/10/2026
Agreed? Probably not. More like Putin threatened to release the videos, and the madman prefers thousands to die instead.

#saturdaykitchen has crossed the line from a cooking show to an out and out promotional event. Showing the book cover and contents breaks the BBC rules re advertising.

The best many of our youngsters can hope for is a zero hours contract, and benefits to top up their wages to live. That is not something the 6th richest nation should be proud of. #politicslive
