@TheNewsAgents @lizmcshane Legacy is a rather bold word for it

"Matt Goodwin is an embarrassment to Reform - 𝘲𝘶𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘰𝘶𝘳." Failed Reform UK candidate Matt Goodwin is facing accusations of fake quotes, factual errors, and AI-generated content in his new book. Is it time to reassess his entire academic legacy?

@KimFord52248887 @danwootton @chuckthomasuk I was referring to good morning Britain on itv, which he was sacked from 🙊

@benjaminbutter @danwootton @chuckthomasuk No he’s not! He’s on holiday … you should try it

Who should replace Scott Mills on BBC Radio 2?

@JoshRomOnAir Very useful break down

Let's do a strategic media deep dive here on Scott Mills. - The Mirror published the exclusive story at 11:30am on the dot. - This exact publishing timing signals it was likely scheduled and had been with the legal department. - The headline and parts of the copy emphasise that the contract has been terminated with immediate effect. - The Mirror had the exclusive statement from BBC boss Lorna Clarke to staff, shared before the original article was published. - The BBC statement used words including sudden, unexpected and shock. - Later Ms Clarke stated she could not "say anything further now," indicating continuing or further developments. - He was sacked for reasons 'related to his personal conduct' which is not the same as inappropriate workplace conduct. Let's make no mistake about it, the signs are extremely ominous.

@AnnieLa60958950 @chuckthomasuk @GBNEWS Thanks for letting me know

@benjaminbutter @chuckthomasuk I wish you wasn't on @GBNEWS . I switch off when you, Stadlen, Liss and Myskow are on.

@ionewells I watched this only a few hours ago - my YT algorithm is heavy on solo creator travel content - and it was v interesting 👏

Now on a quarter of a million views on YouTube vs the 85k my traditional news coverage on the same day received on YT. I still made a typical TV & radio package, online article, social video and did live coverage all day. This was designed to offer something more native for YT.

@tmax100 @richardosefton @JWright330 Clearly not because he has worked at the BBC for years… this is old. He spent months at GBN in a career spanning decades. Stop falling for any old shite written on the internet with no context.

@richardosefton @JWright330 BBC will chew him up and spit him out For sure, for sure 😂

Are they fucking serious? They’re not even trying to hide it now. It’s CLEAR the media want #Reform and the voters are just too fucking stupid to see they are OBVIOUSLY being played.

@Apochriphal Famously Hizbollah propagandists just want to cuddle kittens and hand out candy

@benjaminbutter Benjamin thinks your murder is ok if you are anti Israel. Zionism is becoming a sickness.

May 1, 1945: Journalist Joseph Goebbels (described as “Nazi-affiliated”) dies

My piece in the Sunday Times today on the story behind @TheSun investigation into Huw Edwards thetimes.com/uk/media/artic…

@SkyNews @AlexCrawfordSky “[Israel] provided no evidence for this claim” the deceased was a member of Hezbollah, the caption says, over pictures of him being buried with the Hezbollah flag.

A funeral was held for three Lebanese journalists killed in an Israeli airstrike. An Israeli spokesman attempted to justify the killings by claiming one of the journalists was a member of Hezbollah. He provided no evidence for this claim. @AlexCrawfordSky

@oggyboytchev @theipaper @vicderbyshire @olyduff You don’t know the half of it. The people who look the other way to keep their own easy life are as much monsters as the sex abusers.

@benjaminbutter @theipaper @vicderbyshire @olyduff 😮

This is what I learnt spending time with women who describe themselves as small business owners, podcasters, life coaches, mums, sisters, friends – and Epstein survivors 🖋️ @vicderbyshire Read more: trib.al/vR5DYdU

@PeterTatchell Well said as ever, peter

Olympic ban on all trans women competing in women’s events is unjustified They’ve no unfair advantage if they’ve had hormone treatment It reduces muscle mass, bone density & physical strength & endurance. Their performance declines to that of ‘biological’ women Individual assessment. No blanket ban @TransLucent_Org @TransITCUK @Mams4Trans @Transgendertrd @TransgenderNews @TransActionBloc @TransPride @LDNtranspride @TransNewsDesk @Mermaids_Gender @BobbityP @TransYouth @transgreens @RuthDavidsonPC @hillarytaylorvi @ZackPolanski @TheGreenParty @rachelmillward @MothinAli @LgbtqIndia @BuzzFeedLGBTQ @lgbtiqa_greens @LGBTIQAGreenLon @LGBTIQRights @LindaRiley8 @DIVAmagazine @glaad @HRC @hilarypepper @CliffJoannou @benjaminbutter

@theipaper @vicderbyshire @olyduff My DMs are open, @vicderbyshire. You *won’t believe* 👀 who has been helping this grotesque old man to get away with it, even though his abuse is well known and been evident for two decades.

@theipaper @vicderbyshire Would you like to know about another sexual abuser being covered up for, @vicderbyshire? Given how sincere @theipaper, @OlyDuff and DMG is in reporting on these victims, and not letting them be disregarded, threatened and offered pay offs.

@lukemcgee Please lord never come for me because this is the baddest burn ever

Matt Goodwin makes a lot more sense when you realise he is just Robert Jenrick with more time on his hands.

@NickClairmont1 @TheFP Congrats 🙌
