“I think the BBC should fight it, but they’ve got to have so much backbone to do it.”
“There will be many times along the road where the easiest option will be to settle.”
@maitlis and @jonsopel on how the BBC should respond to Trump’s $10bn lawsuit.
- A 100,000 drop in net migration costs us £7bn
- Scrapping the two-child benefit cap costs us £3bn
What gets more attention?
James O’Brien says 'we have become a ludicrous country'.
‘It will be a proud moment for our country.’
Prime Minister Keir Starmer confirms that the United Kingdom will take on the presidency of the G20 in 2027.

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Sec. Marco Rubio DROPS THE MIC on the EU accusing President Trump of violating "international law" by striking narco-terrorists
"I find it INTERESTING all these countries want us to send nuclear-capable Tomahawk missiles to defend Europe. But when the United States positions aircraft carriers in OUR hemisphere, where we live, somehow that's a PROBLEM!"
BOOM 🔥🔥🔥
"I don't think that the European Union gets to determine what international law is. They CERTAINLY don't get to determine how the United States defends its national security!"
"The United States is under attack from organized, criminal narco-terrorists in our hemisphere - and the president is responding in the DEFENSE of our country."
"So I would say that the United States and this president has made very clear his job is to protect the United States from threats against the United States...and THAT is what he's doing in this operation."
BIG MARCO UNLEASHED.
I’ve written to Keir Starmer, Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage urging them to condemn Donald Trump’s attack on the BBC.
The BBC belongs to Britain, not Trump. We must defend it together.
Across the world, the BBC is recognised as the best source of impartial news reporting.
It's not perfect, because nothing made by people ever is.
However, in these days of deliberate lies, manipulation & populism, it's a beacon of truth. Britain should be proud of it.
And we are
In other words, the fast dwindling numbers of people still old-fashioned enough to believe in working for a living will be forced to pay for those who prefer to sit at home on their arses all day. https://t.co/zLA5nQaU4I
This woman is explaining why she’s unemployed and claiming benefits for anxiety… WHILE TALKING ON NATIONAL TV.
The absolute cheek of it.
Nobody should be on benefits for “mild anxiety” — especially not when they can sit in a packed studio audience and speak on live telly.
I’m diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, PTSD, and severe depression. Been on meds for over a decade and hospitalised for my mental health. Some days are so bad that brushing my teeth or getting out of bed is near impossible.
But I’ve still worked 20+ hours per week since I was 16, holding down three jobs at a time on top of full-time education.
I absolutely reject the claim that she “can’t work” because of her anxiety.
It’s laziness and entitlement.
Simple as.
There are people with severe mental health disorders who really can’t maintain meaningful employment, like schizophrenia, low-functioning autism, or anorexia nervosa.
And there are people with physical illnesses who would give anything to be in this woman’s position — with a healthy body and an abundance of opportunities available to her.
Frankly, how dare she.
People like this are a major reason why the welfare state has ballooned to unsustainable levels, and why those who really do need the support won’t be able to access it.
She makes a mockery of the system.
Shame on her, and all those like her.
