For the last fourteen years, the Tory government just gone has been the worst in living memory. Never before have I witnessed the wholesale deterioration of the country by a political party motivated by their self-interest and self-entitlement….

Time and time again, whether it’s Arron Banks, undeclared US dark money, Cambridge Analytica, or Ashcroft lobbyist Oakeshott, the BBC invites them on to calumniate journalists like @carolecadwalla - with no declaration of interest or right of reply. What is WRONG with you guys?
Ian Hislop repeatedly slams Michael Gove on Have I Got News For You #HIGNFY
"I mean, you were sacked and then dismissed, you almost came back. I mean there are cockroaches I know who are in we of your ability"
"Cameron said you have one overriding quality, that is disloyalty"
"I prefer to be talking about levelling up"
"Can I just say at this point, I've always liked experts"
"A turbulent week, what we've seen is a large number of Cabinet members stabbing each other in the back in the hope of becoming leader. Michael"
"In the old days you used to get into trouble with emails, didn't you Michael"
In these globally turbulent times one man has regularly acted as a wise, thoughtful and witty guide for listeners of @BBCr4today. The former Head of MI6 Sir Alex Younger has analysed, explained and contextualised the actions of Trump, Putin, Xi and the Ayatollahs. After he first appeared in the programme I was lucky enough to get to know Alex and call him my friend. I’m desperately sad to hear the news I’ve long feared was coming. Alex has died after months trying to cheat the
prognosis he was given whe. They discovered the tumour he nicknamed “Putin”.
We’re always told not to speak of a fight with cancer because it risks implying that only those strong enough survive. I understand that. I really do but sod it. Alex fought so hard to find a treatment to give him a little longer to be with Sarah and their lovely children. And he used every last minute of the short time he did have to be with family and friends and to do what he spent a lifetime in the shadows doing - using his intelligence to understand the world, to explain it but, above all, to keep us all safe.
The former head of the Mossad is comparing the actions of Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank to Nazis in the Holocaust.
If someone said that in the West they'd be accused of antisemitism under the IHRA definition.
Ben Delo was pardoned by Trump last year, after pleading guilty to violating US money-laundering rules via his crypto firm.
He's now moving to UK to donate to Reform - in a move set to deepen its financial dependence on crypto-billionaires.

I don't think you will see this clipped up by LBC because it shows Ferrari handed his arse by someone who knows what they are talking about. In this case by Sir Richard Dalton a former senior member of the British Diplomatic Service. The question and response at 3'20" is a personal favourite - Ferrari's head nearly explodes when he's told 'What a daft question?'. Enjoy.
The BBC’s coverage of Conservative allegations of dishonesty against Rachel Reeves shows how its political coverage is still led by the right-wing press, argues @AdamBienkov

1/5 It was entirely predictable that The Telegraph would jump on @DavidOlusoga’s Empire series to fight its right wing culture war for control of our public history. Let’s see what they’ve done:
“We are freezing known Russian assets, but let me be clear, I don’t actually mean the honourable member for Clacton”
Reeves throws a very timely posh burn in Farage’s direction.
#Budget2026
Whatever your views on Epping, this isn’t protest. It’s not achieving anything. It’s just nasty, ignorant fucking racism. If people want their concerns heard, these are not the voices to do it.
