📺 The biggest shows of 2026 so far. And one programme is absolutely dominating.
Claudia Winkleman is single-handedly keeping the licence fee alive.

Such a novel idea from the always brilliant Martin Vander Weyer in @spectator - have a conversation with people who were born abroad and you may get a more interesting perspective about immigration. Let’s hope it catches on!

This has just come out. I think it over eggs my influence rather a lot but it is always interesting to read a different perception (paywalled) newstatesman.com/politics/ec…

Didnt get much of a chance to get a good photo of larry today thanks to some vultures who shoved their phones in when i was tryna snack him. He was happy to see me. Hair growing back. You may see me swearing at said idiots if they are stupid enuff to post their videos on insta.

An interesting point. If, as has been shown, Farage didn't buy his Surrey house from 'I'm a Celebrity' fee, what AML checks did the estate agents/lawyers do?

Finally looks like we may be getting somewhere with STANDING CHARGES
@andyburnham at #PMQs just now
"“I can tell the House today that I have asked the chancellor and the energy secretary to look at whether we can remove standing charges from gas bills and to report back to this House at the earliest opportunity.”
Who is sponsoring this? Farage & Tice or Jeremy Vine? 😤🤬😬🤬🫨

Submitted my Access to Work application yesterday morning. Got a confirmation text, telling me that they will be in touch about my application "within the next 37 weeks"
I actually laughed in disbelief, 37 weeks.
This would be a good solution (which I would support) ...... but the Government just does not have funds to increase welfare, and housing benefit, and this, and that etc ..... in fact they are more likely to make cuts or freezes to welfare. 😬🤬😤
Hopefully to end homeless and make it easier for private tenants @JohnHealey_MP will scrap bedroom tax, unfreeze housing benefit and local housing allowance rates also add £50 on UC which can help many people with food @andyburnham also COL payments of £200 in winter and Spring

There are immense benefits of Gen AI but, as Paris Marx writes here, the harm is currently greater than those benefits. Beware politicians - and former ones - whose promises are hollow

Pete’s had a busy day in charge of pen management.
He’s such a hardworking studio assistant.

Neither man could possibly have imagined that just one generation later, Europe would be defending itself against both of their future successors.
What is happening is truly unfathomable.

BBC outclassed on investigative reporting by ITV and Channel 4 and stands little chance of ever restoring its reputation with this level of cuts. Shameful.
