Like everyone else, I'm slowly leaving twitter & going elsewhere. Why? Coz it's a nasty place spewing far-right, anti-science loonies. You can now find me on BlueSky, & I've even caved & made an instagram too where I'll share SciComm on fossil sharks. Hope to see you there! 🦈

He should never have been there in the first place. Johnson damaged public life in so many ways and this was one of them. We are now reaping what they have sowed. Labour government should back the BBC, support it against Trump and fight back harder against the right wing forces

OK, I'm switching off for a bit to concentrate on research, but before I go, have a think about who benefits from the attacks on the BBC? Labour? No. Tories? No. Lib Dems? No. Greens? No. Reform UK? Yes. Those of the far-right? Yes. Russia? Yes. MAGA/Trump? Yes.

Trump did incite an insurrection, don't let this change anything, the evidence is clear.

Robbie Gibb was appointed to the BBC Board by Boris Johnson, was an editorial advisor for GB News, and worked as Theresa May's Director of Comms. He is not impartial or neutral. The government should remove him from the Board immediately to protect the BBC's independence.

The MAGA crowd are coming for the UK - make no mistake. Protect the BBC. Protect the NHS. Prefect our human rights. Fight against Reform UK. We cannot become MAGA 2.0

The ‘SOUTH PARK’ creators say they’re making jokes aimed at Trump because “politics became pop culture” + Paramount are “letting us do whatever we want, to their credit” “It’s not that we got all political. It’s that politics became pop culture. There’s no getting away from this

Vince Gillian is doing this show so Rhea Seehorn can win her Emmy. That is why he is the GOAT

It’s WILD how they say BBC is biased to the left. BUT what about The Daily Mail, The Daily Telegraph, The Spectator & GB News? What about Fox News, The Wall Street Journal, New York Post? I could go on & on. Even this app is right wing bias but that’s fine coz YOU want it that

The BBC isn't perfect, but it belongs to Britain not Trump. Political leaders across the UK must unite in defending its independence from the White House.

It may come as news to her that most Brits really can’t stand Trump & co & whatever the BBC’s failings, aren’t much taken with the utterly one dimensional, parochial & boring GBNews either.

Here’s the actual story: almost every reasonable person in 2021 accepted Trump had openly incited an insurrection and attempted to steal the election. He was indicted for it; the BBC accurately reported it. This is just the same decades-long political campaign to destroy the BBC.

We know the vast majority see it for the racist, nasty bullshit it is. This is not who we are. And the Labour Government have normalised it. A majority of under 50s now polling for the Green Party & many over 50s supporting too - we must defeat this. https://t.co/0qbagSvIYp

Were you defending impartiality when you put two Conservative cronies on the BBC Board? I take it you’ll back my calls to remove Robbie Gibb now?

Siding with a foreign criminal over your own country's public service broadcaster. There's a word for that.

The real weakness of the BBC, as exemplified by recent events, is its failure to stand up to ludicrous claims from the right that it is somehow hugely biased to the left. Listening to Telegraph journalists bleat about a biased BBC, or Reform MPs enjoying more platforming than any

We are now in the bizarre situation where allegedly serious people are arguing that the national broadcaster was required to ensure due impartiality to supporters of the former President of a different country, one who continues to lie on a daily basis about a free and fair

William flew to a climate conference in a private jet. Don’t ever tell me this man cares about the environment.

Travelling by private jet to a conference about climate change is a level of detachment from reality that's impossible to grasp

Are there any bigger losers out there than Joey Barton and Lawrence Fox? The pair of them, effortlessly, combine hubris, stupidity and an elite level of self entitlement, that gets them in to trouble on a daily basis. You'd think, if they had friends, that they'd step in.
