Reform imbecile insisting that his party’s leaflets never claimed they’d cut council tax, despite actual leaflets issued by Reform being read out to him live on air. This is how Brexit happened, these people are entirely immune to any form of basic fact.

#SVB coverage has been low key in the UK. But it has the potential to get ugly, especially for a small & noisy group of business owners in the sexy tech space. Expect calls for special treatment from Government by a sector that's notorious for its tax avoidance efforts. #SVBUK

1/ The most destructive, vile, corrupt man ever to darken America’s presidency has left the White House for the last time. He has disgraced himself, the office, his oath, and the nation in ways more profound and lasting than we can account.

When I travel, most people admire the BBC. I've never met anyone who rated our press - except of course those who work in it
