@jdaplant @Samingo_real @mattyglesias The hours of personal/amateur/random stuff uploaded to YouTube is not the same as properly produced shows, unless you have very odd taste in what you want streaming services to have

BBC Verify need to get on this misinformation quickly - it's clearly not pronounced how Brits say 'comma'!

Labour complacency latest: describing East Lothian as a 'safe seat' when it was *checks notes* won by the SNP at the last election

[Andrew Carter @cartoir]

Galling, too, for a party that keeps wanging on about 'academic freedom' to micromanage what universities should do.

[Andrew Carter @cartoir]
