This should be the BBC’s job to challenge the MP in the moments. Allowing opinions masquerading as facts from “credible” sources like Chris Philp are basically allowing the public to be deceived. BBC are largely brilliant, but this is a real area of weakness.

These billionaire owned right wing rags do not have this country’s best interests at heart. They are owned and run by tax exiles who do not have any of their own opportunities and living standards affected by the division and economic damage they continue to promote in this country.

Quick thread on the BBC and the political and societal significance of recent developments: One of the main reasons the UK has historically been so much less polarised than the US, is that Britain has a shared source of information, consumed and trusted by most people regardless of their politics.

The #BBC needs to be completely independent, no politics should be aligned with it. Its drop in news and editorial standards is a consequence of the previous 14 years, aligning with the government(s) of the day. It’s a public broadcast and it should serve the public only. Impartial and truthful.

Salk's act was altruism. A better example is WWI: the US nationalized Marconi's patents and assigned to GE to ensure unified military communications. This led to the NBC networks monopoly that was later broken up to restore competition. Socialism is an essential part of healthy government.

Some things I saw recently that I think are cool: — New Poszetka collection (fun, not too serious; cool overcoats) — Anthology sport coat in Maison Hellard linen-silk (interesting fabric) — Husbands Paris tailoring (love the pants) — Wrangler 13MWZ jeans in Kurabo and Cone Mills raw selvedge denim
Four photos. The first shows a man wearing a bright Shetland sweater, neckerchief, and gray suit. The second shoes a man wearing a navy overcoat, blue jeans, brown sport coat, white shirt, and striped tie. The third shows a man wearing a brown checked tweed sport coat with blue jeans. The fourth shows a man wearing a brown herringbone tweed raglan overcoat with a white shirt and burgundy tie. Four photos. The first set shows a man wearing a brown linen-silk sport coat with flecks. He pairs it with a white-taupe striped shirt, burgundy foulard tie, and charcoal trousers. The second set shows the same single-breasted, notch lapel sport coat paired with a tan band collar shirt and white trousers. Two photos. The first shows a brown overcoat with reverse pleat at the back (like on Loden coats). The second shows a grey single-breasted sport coat with charcoal flared trousers and black shoes. Two photos. In both, the men are wearing a blue denim trucker jacket, white t-shirt, and blue jeans.

Farage promise to "stop the boats within two weeks of winning gov't" unravelling. Apparently, it means "after passing laws", "as quickly as possible", he "believes", the boats will still cross, but all will be deported "if necessary" and "sensible", "unless we have a duty of care". Bravo, Beth! 👏🏽

I have never been so disappointed in a BBC piece. Breathless admiration is, as far as I knew, not the role of the BBC’s political editor when describing a party political conference. Description+detail yes, rigorous examination of the conference content, yes. This, absolutely no, in my opinion.
