BBC has been key in developing and sharing British culture & talent for decades

Blue Planet II cost £15m to make, generated £1bn+, BBC created The Office, Doctor Who, Blackadder

BBC helped discover & push Ricky Gervais & Stephen Merchant, Rowan Atkinson, Idris Elba, Louis Theroux, Ed Sheeran, Stephen Fry, Olivia Colman, Helen Mirren, Judi Dench

Due to it being publicly owned it has been able to be an incubator of talent and take risks in a way often private networks could never

BBC has problems, but if you can't see the sum of BBCs contribution to British culture then you are insane

2019: Conservative Home Secretary Priti Patel celebrated the ending of free movement of people with the EU

2026: The Independent, "Arrive three hours early for flights to beat post-Brexit visa queues, Britons warned"

Your reminder that on On Nov 30th 2017, when the UK was still in the EU, the UK government (as part of the EU Council, where it still had a seat and vote on legislation) voted to adopt Regulation (EU) 2017/2226, which established the EU Entry/Exit System (EES)

This is a biometric border system requiring the collection of fingerprints and facial images from non-EU (“third-country”) nationals entering the Schengen Area

In 2017,

👉Theresa May was Prime Minister

👉Amber Rudd was Home Secretary and responsible for overall Home Office policy

👉Brandon Lewis was Immigration Minister responsible for immigration policy under the Home Office

👉Sir Tim Barrow, as UK Permanent Representative to the EU, cast the UK vote in the Council based on instructions agreed by the UK Government

The Conservative government voted for Brits post Brexit to queue for longer 🤷‍♂️

Today is the feast day of St Melangell, the patron saint of hares. 🐇⛪️
The daughter of an Irish king, she fled to Wales and founded a community of women in Powys.
According to legend she was gifted the land after saving a hare from a pack of dogs.

@a_toots It’s the genuine bit that’s most important (I say, probably sounding slightly patronising).

🇬🇧 Just got back from London. According to MAGA and Elon Musk, I should have been robbed, stabbed, and left for dead somewhere in a no-go zone.

Instead I found a city that’s loud, alive, and doing just fine. Turns out the apocalypse was only visible from inside the bubble.

@BEWJU_ @I_amMukhtar Dunno about the twice jabbed but my original vaccine plus seven subsequent boosters from two different manufacturers have left my balls as slightly below average-sized as they ever were.

If you allow Reform to take over… then take heed. 👇

As a gay lad who grew up in the shadow of Section 28, the gay male AIDS hysteria, and vicious homophobia from the rightwing red tops, I can say with total confidence that the deranged bigotry and hatred towards trans people right now is exponentially worse in every way.

[Jamie Wright @21June1978]

@I_amMukhtar He’s confused because when people see him they say “Jesus Christ”.

If this is all true, then Robert Kenyon, the Reform candidate in Makerfield, in clearly bonkers & deeply unpleasant, and it's no wonder he was Facebook friends with the self-declared fascist Gary Raikes. Reform's vetting processes seem about as effective as a chocolate teapot.

[HOPE not hate @hopenothate]

EXCLUSIVE: Reform UK’s Makerfield by-election candidate, Rob Kenyon, had a SECOND deleted social media account, and the archived posts are damning.

@savoy_girl @EklundElek @Mellor76 On average Mr Mellor seems to tweet every couple of days i.e. nothing too engaging. Not really the kind of SM poster who’s interested in maximising ‘views’.

Someone who constantly tweets about anything & tags in Good Morning Britain on most of them however is a different matter.
