GB News is launching GB Music Radio, a 24-hour digital station only playing artists from Great Britain and Northern Ireland, on 2 November. Chief revenue officer Ross Sergeant said this "gives advertisers something genuinely new". radiotoday.co.uk/2026/10/gb-…

I will do Liam Fox the courtesy of assuming that he has read the DCMS and ISC reports, and therefore knows that this is nonsense. I will therefore say that I think that he is lying.
Russia tried but failed to interfere in the Brexit referendum. Confirmed by the security minister. Confirmed by the Foreign Office. Burnham should apologise to the British people in the Commons today for trying to delegitimise the result with his half truths. Shameful.

One of the men in this picture is a politician currently serving 10 and a half years in prison for accepting Russian bribes. The other was his boss and doesn't think there's evidence of Russia interfering in UK politics.
So the Tories had 14 years in government, made the situation so bad that they think that it’ll take 7 years to fix but are still blaming Labour for the early release policy that they also used themselves?
Do I have that right?
Kemi Badenoch has announced the Conservatives will spend £2bn annually to create the extra spaces within seven years of taking power.
The Tory leader said the move – largely funded by cutting foreign aid to just £1bn a year – would be the biggest prison-building programme since the Victorian era and enable the Tories to cancel Labour’s early release of “dangerous” offenders to tackle jail overcrowding ⤵️

No Richard. What I do want, however, is for you to stop repeatedly trying to use Anne Widdecombe's appalling death to stop legitimate scrutiny of Nigel Farage's £5m donation.
Really great thread on the cost of degrees (yes, really) here 👇👇
In exciting news for about five people, KPMG have produced a new report for the Department of Education on the cost of teaching university degrees. Thread on some points of interest, especially the financial crisis engulfing English Higher Education.

Restore’s position on animal welfare (though it might not appreciate the dark face):
A Restore Britain councillor in York, Mark Warters, is taking abuse because he tried to get his council to push for a ban on halal/kosher slaughter, officially prevent the sale on its premises and stop the council from buying it.
He was called a racist.
I call him a patriot.
