Proms on catch up. My God, how do the BBC do it?! Nicky Spence was bloody brilliant as it was, but to throw that Dolly tribute together with Sheridan Smith, Ward Thomas and Beverly Knight, at this notice was something beyond!

Absolutely loving the sheer bonkerness of the #LastNightOfTheProms. It's always a joyous celebration of the Proms concert season - one of the best things the licence fee gives us.

I simply do not understand what's going on in Labour that renders its leaders incapable of finding a TV camera and speaking out against street violence. Even if you assume they agree about immigration, violence is wrong, unpopular AND against the interests of any even vaguely left wing govt.

And the biggest howler: Reform’s geniuses in Kent were apparently able to repaint a fence, trim the verge, plant grass seed (and get it to grow instantly), redo the pavement and repave the road all so quickly that the car in the top-right corner didn’t move an inch! Amazing!

BBC’s coverage of Reform’s welfare plans is frankly bizarre. Headlines in Ten, leading on some radio networks. Reform are not even the official opposition and the plans have less credibility than Count Binface. Will BBC News do the same for Lib Dem and Greens policy two years out from an election?

Once upon a time I was apathetic to gambling but the rise of online sports betting & prediction markets have changed that. These companies have analytics that show them who is an addict, and they target them with deals. Over 80% of these companies’ revenue comes from 3-5% of gamblers.

You have to admire the chutzpah of the BBC’s response to the Trump lawsuit www.ft.com/content/d2a0...
In response, the BBC has sought to identify the financial impact of the documentary, including serving a subpoena on the Donald J Trump Revocable Trust, which holds the president's business interests and assets. It is managed by his eldest son, Donald Trump Jr, who is the sole trustee.
The BBC legal team has requested the production of financial documents that reflect its holdings and value, assets, inventories and lists of properties held. This includes information regarding almost 400 entities owned by or associated with the trust, as well as requests for tax returns, according to court filings in May.
