The BBC is in civil war over Israel and Palestine.
BBC journalists are in revolt over what they call "systematic Israeli propaganda" churned out by the Corporation.

Can anyone think of any stats that would help you understand whether levels of trust in public institutions were higher or lower in one country than another? Eg, I think uptake rates of childhood vaccines tells you something interesting. Anything else like that?

Every word of this.
Luke Pollard MP@LukePollard
Today on #PoliticsLive I spoke out against the Conservatives’ attempt to gerrymander elections with compulsory voter ID. The chances of you falling victim to voter impersonation in a GE are the same as being hit by lightning 54 times in a row. It's blatant voter suppression.

Dismayed by attitude of @theRSAorg management. We launched the Future of Work Centre when I was the RSA's Director of Economics. We also championed participatory democracy with the Citizens Economic Council. This hypocrisy undermines the RSA's credibility. I support @RsaUnion.

Don’t weaken ‘green Brexit’ farm subsidies, warn former environment ministers @michaelgove, @pow_rebecca & Villiers. The backlash against threats to the new subsidy regime for England (ELMS) has broadened to senior Tory figures as well as green groups. thetimes.co.uk/article/dont-d…

Throughout their parliamentary careers, Truss and Kwarteng have been demanding that we "Let the markets decide".
The markets have decided that they are dangerous fanatics.

Deeply disappointing from Labour leadership & makes mockery of party democracy. The old politics simply can't rise to the climate & economic challenges we face. And failure to address them risks more giving up on political process, and further advances of authoritarian far right

The best way to create growth is to redistribute wealth from the rich, who don’t spend their excess cash, to those on low incomes who need to spend all they have to enjoy a decent standard of living. Kwarteng is proposing the exact opposite, so he is not supporting growth.

If you’re a Tory MP elected in or before 2015 your head must be spinning today. In the last seven years you’ve had to argue for compassionate conservatism, austerity, getting rid of green crap, net zero, tackling burning injustices, cutting Universal Credit, industrial strategy…

“We do not believe in untrammelled free markets. We reject the cult of selfish individualism. We see rigid dogma + ideology not just as needless but dangerous. True conservatism means respect for the local +national institutions that bind us together.” Conservative manifesto 2017

Odey employs Kwarteng.
Odey bankrolls Brexit.
Brexit destabilises UK.
Kwarteng becomes Chancellor.
Odey bets against GBP.
Kwarteng destabilises GBP.
Odey reaps enormous rewards.
Do you see how it works yet? And this is just one example, of many.
