If Farage's people are real, ordinary and decent then I must be pretend, weird and immoral. Section 28 values. #Prejudice #LGBTPrideMonth

With today marking release of Nirvana’s debut LP ‘Bleach’, theme for Midnight Mixtape (11.30-1) on @bbc5live weeknights is… 🧹Cleaning! 🧽 Songs that ref cleaning, chores, house work, cleaning products… Tough, but a beauty! Get your thinking caps on! ONE choice each 👇

@ThomasWillett9 Bindel’s Leeds Revolutionary Feminist past: “Men are the enemy. Heterosexual women are collaborators with the enemy.” “It is you, heterosexual sisters, who are guilt-tripping us. It is possible to stop collaborating and asking you to do that is not a guilt-trip.”

It does happen, but we don’t criminalise an entire group of people because of the actions of a few criminals. If we did, men shouldn’t have any basic human rights.

@ColinMurray @bbc5live Hey Colin, just following up on Smalltown Boy - can really recommend this episode of Soul Music from 2021 if you’ve not heard it, still available on iPlayer It’s brilliant bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

All aboard for tonight’s Midnight Mixtape on @bbc5live - double album! Theme is running! I’ve attached last weeks final playlist plus songs played that didn’t make it but still can tonight - so no need to suggest any of these! Let’s go again! 11.30pm! ONE choice each 👇 ❤️📻

@ColinMurray @bbc5live @SiobhanSynnot Taking a quick trip back to Twitter to give a shout for fantastic Swedish detective Saga Noren of The Bridge. Loved her to bits x

Packed @bbc5live show tonight from 10. News of day covered, from Sudan to the part sewage in our waterways is playing with voters. Away from news, Supergran is our Monday night rewind at 10.35 with @SiobhanSynnot. Monday night Fanclub is, as usual, not for social media… ❤️📻

Please join us tomorrow evening for a special remembrance to Lyra McKee at her mural in Kent Street, Belfast. Tomorrow evening at 7. #GFA25 #LyraMcKee @Justice4Lyra

The EHRC wants to redefine sex. Here’s what it means for trans people opendemocracy.net/en/5050/ehrc-e… #EHRC #UKPolitics

“the perpetrators are groups of men, almost all British-Pakistani” This is a straight-up, far-right lie that your own department’s research and data contradict: theguardian.com/politics/2020/…

In 2021, Paul O’Grady visited The RVT with @PT_Foundation and spoke about the now infamous “poppers raid” which took place when Lily was performing on our stage in 1987 at the height of the AIDS crisis. A true hero to LGBTQ+ people, thank you Paul.

A heartfelt and rousing tribute from tonight’s host @MichaelTwaits and a moment of loving noise from tonight’s audience for an RVT legend and LGBTQ trailblazer, Paul O’Grady/Lily Savage.

Greg Dyke, the DG of the BBC, was sacked for opposing the government over Iraq. The lesson? If you work for the BBC, you can only be an active or passive supporter of the government. If not, you're gone. See @mediareformUK for better ideas for the BBC news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politi…

@CockertonMark It also tells us how much ‘Lineker’ is paid. But not Sharp, nor Davie. Almost unfathomable.

This article refers to either Tim Davie, or Mr Davie. Never ‘Davie’. Also to Richard Sharp, or Mr Sharp. Never ‘Sharp’. However Gary Lineker is never referred to as Mr Lineker and invariably described as ‘Lineker’. It’s subtle I know but quite deliberate. bbc.com/news/uk-649181…

#BREAKING News. Hearing unconfirmed reports that the Liz Truss Lettuce will be presenting Match of The Day this evening. More as I have it. #GaryLineker #MOTD

Worth bearing in mind, this is what the BBC said to me in 2020 when Andrew Neil was being a shouty, right-wing pile on orchestrator on Twitter. Compare and contrast.

@ColinMurray Thanks and solidarity x

@mattuthompson “This was an immediate issue which Tim Davie, the director general, couldn’t sit on over the weekend.” Is that Tim Davie, Director-General of the BBC and former Conservative Party politician? Seems the BBC article quickly dropped any reference to him… bbc.co.uk/news/uk-649205…

NEW: Sky News understands the BBC statement on Gary Lineker is incorrect. That Lineker has not agreed to 'step back', and has instead been taken off air as he is unwilling to apologise for his comments this week on social media.
