President Trump, "Norway is immensely wealthy because of the North Sea, the same North Sea that you have" Norway nationalised oil and gas, the UK privatised oil and gas Noway used that wealth to create a gigantic sovereign wealth fund, the UK did not UK collected less revenue

And which paper has been in the forefront of the charge against the shoddy standards at the BBC? 🤔 Not splicing two bits of comment together, instead making the quote up entirely 🤷🏻‍♂️

It’s astonishing that a man who was director of communications for a political party & who helped set up a right wing propaganda TV channel should have ever been placed on the board of a supposedly impartial & independent broadcasting service. https://t.co/PK18tFn5Vv

A Winter Union play in #Calderdale Friday 5/12/26. 5 leading lights of the British roots scene join forces to create a festive folk band like no other! Some of @thewillowsband , @gilmoreroberts & @HannahBenMusic

This BBC story isn’t now about the editing of a Trump speech. It’s about private media giants trying to undermine a public broadcaster - to grab a bigger market share for themselves, boost their own profits, and reshape the media landscape to look ever more like Fox News.

Another excellent read from Ben Myers #Scarborough #soulmusic #friendship

Outcome from National Trust AGM: the recommendations of the elected members’ Council were overwhelmingly supported. Thanks to all who voted. The private company Restore Trust campaigned with the slogan ‘Take Back Our National Trust’. But the National Trust belongs to everyone.

#Reform Party in #Leicestershire has spent £1.4 million on consultants to find cuts to deliver their promised reduced council taxes. Consultants told them there are no cuts to be found. But #Reform in #Leicestershire will now have to make cuts anyway. To pay the consultants.

Elon Musk is deliberately using his platform to poison our politics and divide our country. It's time for the government to wake up to the threat he poses to our democracy

Rather good musician at Ryburn 3step this Sunday - Riley Baugus

Academy Trust CEO pay is out of control. 💷 Some are earning over £500,000 a year - in publicly funded education. This cannot be justified while schools struggle for resources. It’s time for a CEO pay spine and a pay cap. We need money spent on classrooms not boardrooms.

Just so deeply depressing. If Ministers can’t support something as simple as swift bricks, which can have an amazing impact for swifts, then what hope is there for more complex measures? They just don’t care

Farage has been getting snippy with journalists with questions over how his partner Laure Ferrari, a former waitress, managed to cobble together £885,000 to buy a 4 bedroom home with swimming pool in his Clacton constituency…he may get snippier tomorrow.

If this is what happens when Reform runs a council, just imagine Farage running the country. Care homes closed and vulnerable people abandoned. We cannot let Trump’s America become Farage’s Britain.

Last night, Peers voted against Swift bricks: rejecting a simple, proven way to help one of our fastest declining birds recover. ❌ We share @WriterHannahBT's disappointment & frustration. The vote came late, but with government refusing to back it, its fate was already sealed.
