As vile as it was, those chants by Bob Vylan were aired live. How could the BBC have possibly stopped that? The BBC have become so weak at folding under attack in instances like this.
The fragility of the markets is kinda wild, isn’t it? Two toddlers start crying, and you get this.
This is all very lovely, but I’d much rather see the cash spent on this sort of stuff (and it’s probably a pretty impressive sum) diverted to paying a nurse a bit more. #NHS
Louise Mensch. Wow. Remember her? What happened to Louise?
Local elections. The word ‘Conservative’ appears just three times. Twice by default, as it’s the candidates email address. Are they still embarrassed to use the ‘C’ word?
This has Ainsworth’s last visit to Oxford with a QPR side written all over it.
Oxford by 3+
Talked to a client last week about doing a piece on how the average Brit will fare under Trump’s tarrifs. Joked that it’d be out of date before we posted it. Made a start on it an hour ago.
It’s now in the bin.
I’m beginning to think they *might* just be winging this ‘operate the most powerful Government in the world’ stuff…
‘Never has a journalist had to work less hard for the scoop of a lifetime.’
Zinger of a line from @maitlis.bsky.social in this episode. Another great listen.
Applaud this. Really I do. But a sad state of affairs for specific measures to have to be taken to find talent from working classes. Suggests normal application routes are unattainable.
Because of this very incident, the rule will change for next season. Way too harsh a penalty for the ‘crime’. And yes, still not convinced Alvarez touches that twice.
Blue fence. Right of the Tesla sign…
Cilla, is that you?
Gotta be near the top of the small wins league, that. Would add dropped toast lands butter side up and correctly docking USB first time in gold tier too.
Look on the (dark) bright side: if the pending danger is SO urgent that you need to grab a bag of stuff, I imagine the impact of that danger will render the need for a passport, water and clean undies pretty useless.
Signing in for a meeting at reception. There’s a lot of people here to see an Andrew Tate
That’s unfortunate.
I occasionally think about re-engaging on Twitter. Then the first post I see is a former mayor of a major North East town getting angry at the traction IWD received. So I leave again.
Have you actually tried to bite a story on a Reach website? I feel for them.
“Trump’s going to be a bit more conservative this time.”
Also Trump: “The gays and the disabled are responsible for that plane crash.”

You fear that ‘thing’ you have to tackle but don’t want to? Understand that the ‘thing’ really ain’t shit. Getting over the other side of it is far better than you imagine.
Unbelievable outcome and determined, thorough investigative reporting from @manchestermill.bsky.social. When we ask what the future of media needs to be, it’s this. Holding power to account, not intimidated by threats. They knew they were right

Looks a banger, this. Also, have ITV cutbacks forced them to reduce full stop usage? Commas are much cheaper. That’s really hard to read.
The pay off at the end?!
‘I don’t believe any of this shit more than you do…but just imagine.’
Deep brain stimulation surgery. Kevin here has a computer fitted in his brain to control Parkinson’s. And it’s been done right here in Newcastle.

We tried out DeepSeek. It works well, until we asked it about Tiananmen Square and Taiwan
Watching global AI firms kill each other until they’re all dead. January’s 2025. What a doozie.
‘My evidence is my personal experience.’
Do we think someone advises her to say things like this, or is this all her own making?
The MOBOs are coming. Nice one, Newcastle.
Ordering my planets according to which one is the most banging keeps me awake at night.
That should do it.
‘Climb down’ 🤨
