www.dailykos.com/stories/2026... Go BBC! ✊ It was shameful how American media who were sued willingly gave Trump the money and basically laundered money openly in order to get their mergers, etc. #BBCLawsuit #TrumpCorruption #USMediaFail

Trump had no idea suing the BBC would be so much work

Poor President Donald Trump. He loves filing lawsuits. Why can’t he just sue the BBC for defamation, demand $10 billion and have them write him a check for $10 billion?

I’m so sad Bill Oddie left us. He was sick for some time and I wrote to him. He auditioned me for The Pembroke Revue in 1963 and I stepped into his roles for The Edinburgh Festival when the Cambridge Footlights went to the West End. We watched England win the World Cup together at Wembley in ‘66.

Here it is. My manifesto for the 2026 Clacton By-Election. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Join me, clean up Clacton and let's make 13th August Bin Day! #VoteBinface #VoteyMcVoteface #YesWeTinCan

The Times is reporting that ex-Google Executive Matt Brittin has been confirmed as the next BBC Director General Baroness Kidron, film producer, told The Times that she felt the “values of the Silicon Valley attention economy are not in line with the public service broadcast remit”.

Right wing media: DEFUND THE BBC. Right wing media: why can’t the BBC now afford to show the thing I like?

The trailer for EVERYONE IS LYING TO YOU FOR MONEY. In select theaters starting April 17th 🍿🤑🤣

Steve Witkoff on Hannity's show makes a case that Trump last summer both obliterated but also didn't obliterate Iran's nuclear program

Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"

Such a narrow focus too - basically questions on governance, news impartiality and the licence fee - and strangely AI (yet again the government wanting to syphon BBC funds for something else). Could at least have paid lip service to finding out views on sport, childrens content and radio content.

This is how all my nightmares begin now

No surprise it's the right wing rags who constantly call to "defund the BBC" are attacking them today for losing the rights to the Boat Race.

Pls say that an independent funding commission should set funding levels, as in Germany. The current system, in which government ministers determine the licence fee through opaque settlement negotiations, is a standing invitation to party political interference. 4/

Please dear followers do fill this in. Most important points IMO: BBC is ambitious+capable but can do nothing without proper funding; World Service to be funded by govt; BBC needs a permanent Charter; no more party political appointees to its board; political independence.

Just finished my response to UK gov consultation on the BBC charter. Really important to ensure independent and high quality BBC available to all. Not perfect, but amongst the best in the world, despite so much external pressure. www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/...

The BBC Charter Review is time for bold choices to secure benefits of public service media for generations

The BBC warns this Charter Review is the moment to make clear choices to back the organisation and support all that it delivers for the UK

Right, I've replied to the BBC Charter Review consultation. It took me about 40 minutes but that's because I gave a good 195 words in every 200-word box. I'm sure they will read my replies intently and weigh them in their hearts. Anyway, you can go faster: dcms.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

What if the BBC was owned by the people who fund it? We’re proposing a member-owned BBC where licence fee payers become members with a real voice in how it's run. Independent. Accountable. Owned by the public. Support the idea before the consultation closes today 👇 buff.ly/OdtHYx0 #BBC #Coops
