GB News has turned into the Reform channel. After a New World investigation found hundreds of breaches of the rules on accuracy and impartiality, Ofcom has failed to do its job and act. We've seen what Fox News has done to politics in the US. We can't let it happen here.

I do rarely say something is a must-read. But this thorough investigation by @arusbridger certainly is. If @lisanandy and Ofcom don't do anything now, they are complicit in letting the UK media landscape slide towards a lawless propaganda world like in the US.

SPECIAL INVESTIGATION: don't miss this important @TheNewWorldmag report by editor-at-large Alan Rusbridger into GB News and Ofcom's dismal failure to regulate its broadcasts @arusbridger thenewworld.co.uk/alan-rusbridge…

Yet another failed Regulator. Why is the Govt taking so much time to sort out the (serious) problem of failing Regulators. Yes of course: seriously think about options. However, we are now in the realm of such overt caution as to be making everything worse.
alan rusbridger@arusbridger

Since @Ofcom seems to have given up, we asked 20 experienced journalist from a wide range of backgrounds to watch multiple hours of @GBNEWS . Their conclusion: the supposedly regulated channel has, in effect, become Reform TV. How did it happen? thenewworld.co.uk/alan-rusbridge…

I started my energy and environment MA in 1987 & fusion was 40 yes away then; & it’s stayed like that ever since. What is it with Govts that want new unicorn techs rather than get on with what we have? Especially sorting out EE of buildings which is good for env; security & cost?
Department for Energy Security and Net Zero@energygovuk

Fusion energy isn’t just the future, it’s already a thriving industry in the UK. Our new Fusion Strategy backs British science and innovation with £2.5bn investment, supporting 10,000 jobs by 2030 and helping take fusion from the lab to the grid. 🎥 Lord Vallance explains

I love reading a piece where you can feel the anger - " But that’s the very least that should happen. US and Israeli leaders should face prosecution for war crimes and crimes against humanity in national and international courts" theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Back in the real world, Wind and solar worldwide currently generate 70% more electricity than nuclear reactors - whilst each year nuclear adds only as much net global power capacity as renewables add every two days. Nuclear is now facing the same challenges as fossil fuels; uncompetitive costs, stranded assets, a polluting legacy and unrivalled competition from renewables.

Paris, where I live, has transformed from a carbound into a bike-dominated city. In the process it became a trendsetter for the world's other cities. Now Paris's mayoral elections are a referendum on that shift. What lessons from Paris? Me @FinancialTimes as.ft.com/r/afafe14b-287…
