Vindicated & reinstated. 115 days later and thanks to amazing solidarity from around the world, Goldsmiths has confirmed that there is "no case to answer" against me & @gkhiabany for doing our job & supporting our students. Off to the pub now...

Am speaking at Goldsmiths on 19 November about the wonders of the UK media, organised by staff in Media, Communications and Cultural Studies. Join me! Details 👉 https://t.co/YeJsfQ6qYn

This really isn't the first dodgy @BBC edit but it's certainly the one that counts because delegitimising striking miners in 1984 or undermining Corbyn in 2019 apparently don't matter. Some thoughts for @LRB blog https://t.co/8XFr60ZLwa

Two immediate demands over #BBC. Sack right wing Tory Robbie Gibb from the board. And refuse to pay #DonaldTrump a penny out of our licence fee money. What’s he going to do -bomb us? @NUJofficial @pplsassembly @lazebnic @STWuk

In Robbie Gibbs’ own words, “I’m a long-standing Conservative. I’m not a Chris Patten apologist-type Conservative. I’m a proper Thatcherite Conservative.” Yes this is the BBC Board member who presides over impartiality decisions. Sack him now

Thoughtful take on the BBC crisis that unusually for a mainstream report refers to the fact that “the broadcaster has also been repeatedly accused of caving to pro-Israel critics” and highlights the work of @cfmmuk

And make sure said Tory crony is able to get his friend Michael into a powerful editorial position to wreak further chaos

Just a quick reminder that two BBC executives (38% of whom were privately educated & 26% of whom went to Oxbridge) have been ousted in part by newspaper columnists (50% of whom were privately educated). This is called democracy

“It’s all about you”? Halfway through @bbc5live phone-in on BBC crisis and precisely one listener has been on air with programme dominated by insiders & execs. A little microcosm of the problem the corporation has with expressing ordinary lives

Wrote this well before today’s top-level resignations at the BBC but so predictable it would have been the dodgy & totally unnecessary editing of Trump and not the BBC’s indefensible coverage of Gaza that was the cause

Am still waiting for Goldsmiths to explain why they used a private consultancy firm to help draft its antisemitism action plan and not the Jewish staff or students the plan is supposed to protect

Did @thetimes call it for Cuomo or did ChatGPT get it right this time?

A cap or a mandate for change to the status quo embodied by this very newspaper? Another New York is now possible #Mamdani

Rupert Murdoch owns this title. Apparently he’s just a brilliant businessman who stays out of politics

"the dishonesty of the media, the moral bankruptcy of the foreign policy establishment, growing domestic authoritarianism, corruption of parliament, & the collapse of a party system increasingly manipulated by special intersts & the super-rich" 2/2

Full-blooded journalism from @OborneTweets in his wonderful new book 'Complicity'. "A full reckoning with Britain's culpability for the destruction of Gaza requires an assessment of the failing institutions that misgovern British public life" 1/2

The government wants more competition in a failed university market system while the employers want more job cuts & higher tuition fees. Little wonder that campus unions are up in arms

There was room for Wes Streeting, Chris Philip and Kamala Harris but not for Plaid Cymru who actually were the story last week….

The % of newspaper columnists who went to private school has risen from 43% in 2014 to 44% in 2019 and now to 50% in 2025. Given that only 6% of kids are privately educated, this may explain why commentators are so out of touch. Thanks to @suttontrust

Very much doubt you’ll see this story about the continuing operation of the MoD spy flights over the eastern Mediterranean - and in particular the questions it raises - on our TV bulletins and other cherished news outlets

Wearing a Black Lives Matter T-shirt in the newsroom will totally undermine the BBC's commitment to anti-racism (in a way that its appalling coverage of Gaza will presumably not). Some thoughts on "Our BBC"
