Sad to read that Penelope Keith has passed away. As BBC reports “She joined the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1963, appearing in numerous productions in London and Stratford including The Wars of the Roses”. With @PeterGatrell I shared the stage with her in this famous production.
A grim week for Starmer – but things could be about to get worse. Maybe …but to speak of a ‘near death’ experience is shameful #bbc @ChrisMasonBBC https://t.co/o6QwatDaUA
@bbclaurak reports on Mandelson as “one of the hottest and most embarrassing political controversies in years”. Surely it pales into insignificance compared with what happened under @BorisJohnson and because of the Brexit catastrophe initiated by ‘Dave’ Cameron?
How can the BBC justify how much coverage they give other marches which are significantly smaller in size?
The bias is so obviously blatant.

Return your unwanted Reform UK flyers to this address and it costs them £2.50 a pop.
Pop this address on an envelope with the flyer in, and pop it in a post box!
The more we return, the less they will send!
If there is precisely one thing you watch today, make it this. French Senator Claude Malhuret. A microphone. And the most magnificently savage dismantling of the Trump administration ever delivered in a language they almost certainly don’t speak.
He covers Iran. He covers corruption. He covers the kind of staggering, industrial-scale incompetence that would get you fired from managing a car park. And he does it with the calm, unhurried certainty of a man who has read every page of the indictment and found it, if anything, worse than expected.
France has never pretended to like these people. But this is contempt elevated to an art form. The kind of refined, aristocratic disdain that takes centuries of civilization to produce and approximately ninety seconds to deploy.
Malhuret sounds like he is four seconds from the button. Not out of panic. Out of sheer, exhausted disgust.
Honestly? Understandable.
Watch it. Share it. The adults are speaking.

The Islamic regime in Iran has confirmed the death sentence of 18-year-old Melika Azizi.
Melika was arrested in January 2026 during nationwide protests for setting fire to regime symbols and was charged with “moharebeh” (waging war against God).
In court, Melika told the judge: “You are letting so many young people bleed. How can I stay silent? I don’t care. Just kill me.”
Please, be her voice.
It could save her life.
Pete Hegseth is becoming the face of the Iran war. And not in a good way. His delivery style is a cross between a fired candidate from The Apprentice and a high school Jock. The fact that he’s the Secretary of State for War is absolutely mind blowing.
So Trump says he needs Greenland because he doesn’t want Russia as a neighbour. Errr… does this thick idiot not know where Alaska is? #TrumpisaNationalDisgrace#greenland
For the needless scandelous loss of life during #COVIDー19 Boris Johnson should never be allowed back into UK politics
Shame this inquiry has cost so much and taken so long to basically tell us what we mostly know!
@skynews
Boris Johnson showered honours, jobs, gongs and hope of gongs upon his craven, corrupt gang in the media and they will support him as he is criticised in the Covid inquiry… and… in turn… he will support them as they plot against the BBC. He is right now. It stinks. But we can see it for what it is.
Prof Christina Pagel and team have created the Trump Action Logger. It documents attacks on democracy, dissent, civil rights, science and academia, corruption and foreign policy. https://t.co/aNdlVmLQvh? (1)
