For now Channel 4’s focus remains on the remit it was set up to deliver.

Twitter isn't Britain #987 - Having led focus groups in past few weeks on public's views on sex, gender identity and trans, both the tone and substance of how people approach the issues could not be more different to how people behave on here - and it's deeply reassuring.

I’ve got contempt for Russia Today — the ultimate fake news station. But is it right for a democracy to try to silence it? This makes me feel really uneasy.

Bittersweet announcement but after an amazing 2 years as an infectious disease expert I am moving on. I am now an expert in no-fly zones and Eastern European affairs. Excited to make the most of this new opportunity.

The BBC are setting up shortwave radio frequencies for the people of Ukraine to keep informed with the news as their TV towers are bombed and internet services attacked.

You don’t get that with a Netflix subscription.

Just a quick constitutional reminder for the BBC’s 100th anniversary: it belongs to the people of the UK. It doesn’t belong to the government. And, contrary to what the current Culture Secretary seems to think, it isn’t state-funded.

This refers to a v interesting ergodic policy discussion. I argued that higher tax rates unfairly hit people who only earn big briefly - and tax rates should be cumulative. Roger has a much bigger idea - your first $X00,000 of lifetime earnings should be untaxed. @ole_b_peters

For just 0.1% of GDP each year we can solve the climate crisis, the biodiversity crisis and prevent land degradation.

As a bonus, the world could also avoid the breakdown of natural ecosystem “services” such as clean water, food and flood protection. https://t.co/zBucHyaqFE
