A wonderful opportunity for two young people who don't have much by way of cash or connections to get started in (digital) media. I'm a trustee of the charity, founded to commemorate my great mate Andy, who wanted us to help kids like the one he used to be. andytaylorfoundation.org/our-work/?fb...

I wonder whether anyone at the Beeb has ever told Robbie Gibb, the Brexit-supporting board member knighted by his former boss Theresa May who polices the ‘impartiality’ of others, to piss off. Someone senior, whether on or off air staff, really needs to. This nonsense can’t continue.

If I see Bob Jenrick outside the Old Bailey filming little promo videos asking ‘how on earth did we end up in this situation?’ about the court backlog then please know I’m crashing his video with the answer: You lot were in power for 14 years, Bob. Your party were at the wheel.

@bylinetimes.bsky.social my favourite time of the month! This issue really illustrates why I cancelled my subscription to the Guardian. Real journalism with integrity and the core values & perspective of the particular journalist at the centre of their reporting. Give them a go!

This is sick. An enquiry was told Richard Coles‘ brother - an undercover cop - lied to a teenage girl about his identity, pretended he was 24 when he was in his 30s, & coerced her into her first relationship. All because she was an animal rights activist. Some spy cop operations resulted in children

Important context here: ● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares) ● "a big farm" is 217 acres. Now let's see who's angry: ● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres ● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres ● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres ● Dyson owns 36,000 acres

If you're interviewing a Trump apologist in the UK media/politics sphere, don't ask about trade, tariffs or even NATO until you've asked about the coup attemt, the sex offending & the felonies. These people claim to care about all the things that Trump denigrates daily. Call them out on it.

I love Ian Hislop but it’s worth noting that most of us would balk at the prospect of publicly admonishing a wrongdoer whose conduct you condemn in this way. I did it once to the UKIP/Reform/Brexit twerp Richard Tice but that took exactly zero guts. This is speaking truth to actual power…
