We were due to be in the studio with best pal @mrjamesob.bsky.social yesterday, in remembrance of the 10th anniversary of the EU referendum. Then Starmer resigned. The result? One of the most wide ranging, coolly angry, openly vulnerable, and deeply insightful conversations you will hear. BOOM! 🎤

Farage can now be easily boxed in to a corner where his only ‘defence’ becomes: “Yes I spouted Kremlin propaganda & Putin worship but, unlike Nathan Gill, I didn’t need bribes to do it.” It is, once again, a question of whether interviewers have the temerity to shut down his whining obfuscations.

@joycevance.bsky.social covers the horrendous "Quiet, Piggy" remarks of Trump aimed at a Bloomberg reporter simply doing her job, & how his lifetime of misogyny is leading to his own undoing — his unglued panic to stop the reveal of the #EpsteinFiles. Women, claim Miss Piggy. 🧾 is.gd/vyzQOc
Portland has reclaimed the frog as a symbol of its resistance to Trump’s efforts to militarize the city. Perhaps women should claim the glamorous, sassy Muppet Miss Piggy, a known diva with a fierce karate chop, as their own symbol. Call a woman a piggy, and see how that goes for you, Mr. President. Enough demeaning of women. Signing the Epstein Files bill when it hits his desk, which Trump has promised to do, won’t be enough. The files have to be released, no excuses. It’s time to emulate the great Miss Piggy, who has never stayed quiet in the face of those who don’t respect her.

Absolutely, that’s why people associated with the BBC are saying this is a ‘coup’. Prescott is a friend of Gibb and was brought into look at bias but, apparently, he seems only bothered about perceived left wing bias. His report reflected this and was ‘leaked’ to the Telegraph. All a bit strange.

Schools themselves can sort the phone issue out. I worked at a school that had very small lockers in tutor rooms where pupils put their phones at start of day; they were locked and the phones returned at the end of the day. Anyone who didn’t put their phone in parents were called or bags checked.

It’s easy to see why Trump wants to destroy the world’s number one news source. We can’t let him. The BBC belongs to all of us here in the UK. The Prime Minister and leaders from across the political spectrum should be united in telling Trump to keep his hands off it.
Truth Social post from Donald J. Trump:

The TOP people in the BBC, including TIM DAVIE, the BOSS, are all quitting/FIRED, because they were caught “doctoring” my very good (PERFECT!) speech of January 6th. Thank you to The Telegraph for exposing these Corrupt “Journalists.” These are very dishonest people who tried to step on the scales of a Presidential Election. On top of everything else, they are from a Foreign Country, one that many consider our Number One Ally. What a terrible thing for Democracy!
