Unbelievably blatant cheating from Somerset in the T20 here. Funny how the floodlights were fine for all of their innings?

Wait...this *isn't* a parody???

[BBC Question Time @bbcquestiontime]

Tonight Question Time features an imagined AI panel made up of historical figures who shaped the modern world

Watch the #bbcqt AI special now on @BBCiPlayer and @BBCNews to see what our REAL panel have to say on AI, including how it can blur the lines between reality and fakery

As someone who graduated with a master’s in 2023, spent 2 years unable to get work and so had to return to university, I’ve been screaming this for years and it’s great it’s finally being reported on

What it’s missing is that even those with jobs are mostly…

For #AscensionDay let’s champion a return to public view for William Hogarth’s vast Ascension triptych - proof the English could rival the Continentals in grand-scale church history painting. Painted for St Mary Redcliffe, it now hangs hidden behind a curtain in St Nicholas, Bristol. Surely it deserves better?

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

As Health Secretary, Wes Streeting deepened the privatisation of our NHS and handed over our data to Palantir, a company involved in genocide.

I am sure his friend Peter Mandelson is very proud.

Time to reinstate our NHS as a fully public service — and kick Palantir out!

Disappointing to see culture as tertiary priority here, lumped in with so much else. With so many MSs and an expanded cabinet, surely a dedicated culture minister could be found?

And are these graduate jobs paying 32k in the room with us right now?

[Sonny @rawespresso]

£32,000 a year. Graduate job. What it actually comes to:

Gross: £2,667 a month.

Income tax: £324
National insurance: £225
Student loan Plan 2: £35
Pension (4% auto-enrol): £107

Take home: £1,976.

Rent in any UK city worth living in: £1,200.
Council tax, gas, electric, water, internet: £420.
Train or petrol to get to work: £250.

Bills alone eat £1,870 of it. Leaves you £106 a month for food, clothes, socialising and any kind of life.

This is what a 'good graduate job' looks like in 2026 after 3 years at uni and £50K of student debt. How did we let them sell this to us?

[Sonny Bunch @SonnyBunch]

I’ll tell you one thing that will never stop being supported: my physical copies of all my books.

Just a reminder that this was CHILDRENS' television.
You'd be lucky to find this level of arts broadcasting anywhere on television today.
