@OborneTweets Great stuff!

In my third despatch from Sudan I report the physical and cultural devastation inflicted on Khartoum by rampaging UAE backed militias. An archaeologist tells me that they looted priceless artefacts and “even shot the mummies” at Sudan’s national museum. middleeasteye.net/news/inside-kh…

“They even shot the mummies” Sudan’s culture and history under the gun. My report from the ground #sudan instagram.com/reel/DRi7Swxk_…

#sudan ❤️ instagram.com/reel/DRf6_BpEd…

A people that will not be subjugated.A culture that won’t submit. Proud to be on the ground in Sudan to tell some of the stories of courage in tragedy. #sudan stories soon to come⁦@TheNewWorldmag⁩ ⁦⁦@TheAustralian⁩

Humbled to meet the governor of Darfur and to hear first hand of the terrible plight of his people - civilians - in El Fasher. I hope to help shine more light onto this story and the need for world attention to stop it #sudan #sudanese

Ok, @realDonaldTrump, if you sue the BBC for $1bn for spreading lies, I’ll sue you for the same amount. I reckon Planet Earth would crowdfund that. Then I’ll buy Mar A Largo, turn it into a climate change research centre, free Melania, and put a 1000% tariff on orange face paint.

The BBC isn't perfect, but it belongs to Britain not Trump. Political leaders across the UK must unite in defending its independence from the White House.

I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC. The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.

The real weakness of the BBC, as exemplified by recent events, is its failure to stand up to ludicrous claims from the right that it is somehow hugely biased to the left. Listening to Telegraph journalists bleat about a biased BBC, or Reform MPs enjoying more platforming than any minority party in history, underlines that. This is the work of right wing journalists and owners working hand in glove with right wing forces inside the BBC to undermine it. The Labour government needs to help the BBC stand up for itself and clear out those forces that want the BBC to fail.

@JulesAP011 @JohnSimpsonNews It was a documentary made externally. Outsourced. Yes the BBC should have checked but that is what happens when you cut resources. The BBC is an exceptional part of democracy and we should all defend it with our everything

@JohnSimpsonNews Re-cutting filmed footage, from 2 sections, 54 mins apart is not a mistake, it’s an ‘on purpose’! It’s dishonest, it’s not balanced & nor is it impartial. If people don’t see the issue with this, along with many other bias examples from the BBC, they are part of the problem.🤔

Donald Trump’s demand for a billion dollars from the BBC comes from a local Florida law firm. It was sent to the wrong address, and the writer didn’t know what ‘salacious’ really means: ‘Due to their salacious nature, the fabricated statements that were aired by the BBC…’

@RobertDJobson I’m on deadline as it is: if you can find ten minutes in the next few days it’s the biggest selling magazine in australia and the Christmas edition. I read the book in draft two months ago. I’d appreciate it but have also worked a goaround if not. Please just let me know.

@p_totaro Ok. I have been travelling and have a number of commitments. I will do my best to facilitate this and fit it into the schedule now that the serialisation in the Daily Mail has finished.

@RobertDJobson Can I grab you please re. a story for the Australian edition of Windsor Legacy? We are running out of time to do this story....

@RobertDJobson I am well aware of that. They have been trying for weeks....

@p_totaro All publicity is handled by the publisher.

@andrewlownie Congrats! 🥂
