Peed off with Piddington

The villagers of Piddington have been attracting global coverage with their campaign to oppose the use of a nearby army base to house asylum-seekers but how responsible has the media’s coverage been?

I’m dumbstruck - a man went berserk in Edinburgh stabbing 5 men he assumed were Muslims. Where’s the same political & media outcry that followed the attack on 2 Jewish men in Golders Green? As a Jew I find these double standards appalling

A typically balanced panel on Times Radio this morning- an ex-Tory minister and a Lib Dem MP. Is Times Radio in danger of becoming ‘GB News Lite’? They do have occasional Labour commentators and presenters but the overwhelming thrust of the station is now, sadly, the same as The Times

Interesting review of GB News output from 2024 from @ivorgaber.bsky.social which exposes the bias in its output, which is especially bad in its written output on websites, something which is not covered by Ofcom apparently. Definitely skewed toward the Conservatives and of course, Reform UK.

In any league table of how the public view particular professions, journalists and politicians vie with estate agents for the bottom spot.

Can we now assume that the Office for Students will undertake an investigation into how Sheffield Hallam infringed the academic freedom of Professor Murphy as they did into Sussex University and Prof. Kathleen Stock? Strangely missing from their quote. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

UK university halted human rights research after pressure from China

Exclusive: Leading professor at Sheffield Hallam was told to cease research on supply chains and forced labour in China after demands from authorities

Why does @BBCNews when reporting ground-breaking research from the Weizmann Institute fail to mention it’s based in Israel?

Excellent article by Ash Sarker ( and I don’t always say that) The left keeps getting identity politics wrong – and the right is benefiting from that

So why not? Not too much worth reading/following in that other place. Was rebranding Twitter as X one of the dumbest moves in the history of marketing though of course degrading the project might prove to have been the fatal step?

hi! my newsletter is about to turn one, which is exciting as I very much launched it as a leap in the dark after getting canned by the New Statesman for no obivous reason - it's doing pretty well and I mostly have a good time writing it, so I thought I'd post my five favourite free-to-read pieces:
