Fascinating change in BBC news bulletins about Reform. Farage announcement on small boats only gets the third spot and is balanced by critics saying he's trying to distract from allegations over his finances. Quite the change from the uncritical coverage earlier this year.

(🚨) NEW: The first-ever pop song about Donald Trump’s surrender to Iran, his defacing of the Kennedy Center (and Kennedy’s name) with an illegal tarp, and the opening of the Barack Obama Presidential Center is now on all streaming services. It’s chill but intense (and explicit). Please share.

When you see the story about how the world now has its first trillionaire, and when you see the story about how laboratories in Congo have run out of supplies to test for Ebola, it is important to understand that in many ways these are the same story.

David Dimbleby, hosted the EU referendum results show on BBC One and BBC News on the night of 23-24 June back in 2016. A decade later, all we've seen is division and damage. So let's make sure the next 10 years are defined by trust and cooperation.

I have many issues with Keir Starmer. But his response to Nigel Farage in the House of Commons today was dignified, firm and quietly powerful. It exposed Farage for the shallow and heartless opportunist he is. Could we please see much more like this from the government.

The only thing more satisfying than the removal of his name from the Kennedy Center is the unwell Orange Man-Baby's entirely predictable, seething, unhinged, self-pitying, incoherent, raging, angry, vengeful meltdown reacting to the news. Someone call a wahh-mbulance! And how is your weekend going?

“This is censorship... This is a demonstration that some of the worst abuses in our time are not confined to kings, emperors, governments … but to a class of companies that have assumed the sovereign affect, and seek to assert their power the same way that some of those despotic nation states do.”

During his presidency, President Obama read 10 letters a day from Americans who’d taken the time to write to him about their worries, hopes, and, often, their requests for help.

Hilarious. Some guy claiming because his family history extends back to the Crusades, he should be involved in governing the rest of us. And claims that we’ll forget history if we oust him. ALL our family histories go back that far… www.channel4.com/news/the-end...
