It's a good time to remember that the Chairman of the BBC is Richard Sharp, someone who's donated £400,000+ to the Conservatives and helped Boris Johnson with an £800,000 loan.

Let's remember that when they talk about BBC "impartiality".

I guess BBC Board Member Robbie Gibb (GBNews news founder and former No 10 spox) combined with BBC chair Richard Sharp (Conservative/Quilliam/CPS/IPR donor and Johnson loan fixer) will have to school @GaryLineker on impartiality

A reminder @GovUK:

A fantastic visit this morning to our P1-P3 classes from comic-book artist Tanya Roberts @Abeyance_artist. Tanya drew pupils' requests ranging from Spider-Man and Darth Vader to a tarantula and Mary, Queen of Scots! Thanks for the inspiration, Tanya!

Our P4-7 children loved meeting @neillcameron this morning (and Frank and Bob!) So many awesome ideas, great laughs and brilliant inspiration for them to now make their own comics! Thank you Neill! 🤖 #bookfest @stockbridge_ps

Fantastic school visit this morning, an object lesson in the difference organization, preparation and led-from-the-top enthusiasm make to these things. Absolutely textbook 👌. Thanks for having me, Stockbridge!

Our P1s and P2s had a wonderful morning with the amazing @emilymackenzie_! They loved chatting with Emily and drawing Ralfy Rabbit with her. Thank you to @scottishbktrust for funding this special #LiveLiterature event! #BookFest

@neillcameron Our P4-P7 pupils and staff can't wait to meet you! A huge thankyou to our Bookfest team who have made this possible and to our local independent children's Bookshop, Ginger and Pickles. It's a magical place that all children should visit.

Genuinely wish every school visit I ever did had this level of organisation and enthusiasm. Amazing. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
