Europe is not perfect. We know it. We say it first. We want a Europe that is more efficient, more sovereign, more autonomous. Faster in taking decisions, closer to citizens, with a stronger Parliament and real democratic power. We criticise Europe because we want it to work

Read this text from Volodymyr Kukharenko to understand the everyday life of Ukrainian people: I have not been on vacation for four years. I have had no business trips to establish new connections. Currently, I live and work about 70% of the time without electricity. I had to buy

How the BBC & ITV give disproportionate coverage to Farage & Reform: hard evidence from a serious study. BBC & ITV now give Reform more coverage than the Conservatives, more than the Lib Dems & nine times the Greens. Superb research from @Stephen_Cushion. https://t.co/d07avkMSUw

I don’t remember British Rail being a national joke either, though its terrible ham sandwiches, which always curled up at the edge, were! However BR was starved of funding by all governments, not least Labour. With so many competing demands on the public purse BR was always

I wish I was surprised. Buried in this Budget is a plan to slash the Digital Services Tax, giving a multi-billion tax cut to US tech giants and the likes of Elon Musk. That's right, cutting taxes for the world's richest man while hiking them for millions of hard-working Brits.

The legal advice to the BBC I am told is that President Trump was not meaningfully damaged by Panorama’s manipulation of his 6 January speech, and that therefore there is no legal necessity to pay him compensation. The BBC board is therefore likely to resist and fight his

Number of MPs alone does not determine appearances on BBC etc since that doesn’t necessarily reflect current standing. Position in polls is also a factor — and Reform are currently polling almost double anybody else. So does performance in recent by-elections. Again Reform

The BBC has to defend the values it embodies. The BBC has to make the case for representing British liberal democratic values in a fractured Britain where what it stands for is increasingly contested. Without the BBC making a case for what it stands for it will wither & die.
