A massively consequential investigation by Alan Rusbridger into GB News: how "one political party in Britain has effectively ended up with its own television station". Raises deep questions about hi-jacking of British media/political culture: thenewworld.co.uk/alan-rusbridge…
That tweet debases all three of you.
NEW President Donald Trump praises @GBNEWS @beverleyturner as a "fantastic reporter". 💪
Jewish apologist Dopey Dave remains a fucking obvious idiot. I preferred him when he was a psycho fuckwit…
At some point, senior Premier League execs have to offer a proper explanation in public for their leniency towards Chelsea. They owe an explanation to fans of clubs punished more harshly. They owe an explanation to those clubs who did abide by the rules. They have to offer some explanation as to why PSR breaches are deemed far more serious than acts of "deception and concealment". Yes, these are the offences of a previous regime at Chelsea. But inconsistencies run through the PL's defence and their reputation is damaged. They can’t hide from a controversy of this magnitude.

94% of Britain's MPs are on Twitter - I've made a website so you can explore who they follow. 🔍Search for any username and see which MPs follow them. 🏅There's also a leaderboard so you can see who has the ear of Westminster Link here: site.mpfollowers.workers.dev
@MichaelLCrick @JohnRentoul For some reason no one ever addresses the obvious rejoinder to this: why can't MPs be *both* highly effective national politicians and great local constituency MPs? @Jeremy_Hunt @MelJStride very good current examples, among many.
The most striking quality of Phil - remembered by many TV colleagues - was his great friendliness & good humour. He always stopped you for a good natter, asking what was the gossip, what were people saying, what would happen next? He'll be sorely missed by his many friends.
