The BBC is cutting £500 million and one in ten jobs, with staff on Newsnight expecting their programme to go.
A TV licence costs £180 a year and carries no vote in how the BBC is run.
The Charter Review should make licence fee payers members, with a real stake and a say.

Gut wrenching to see four young people jailed for direct action against an arms supplier to Israel.
Years in prison for protesting to save lives in Gaza, with 'terrorism' used despite no jury convicting them of it.
A truly dangerous attack on the right to protest.

Starmer has said he would campaign for Northern Ireland to remain in the UK, which is a breach of the Good Friday Agreement.

If Aristotle is right and happiness is the state of the soul in an activity of excellence, then off loading all our creative and intellectual work to AI will make us supremely miserable.

These times are extraordinarily clarifying. Plutocracy is overthrowing democracy. We’re in a renewed period of naked imperialist aggression. Genocidal ethnonationalism in the Middle East is forcing a choice between democracy and fascism; the ruling class is opting for fascism.

For more on how the Met is buckling under pressure, see @harriepw's reporting into how police feel "ashamed and sick" and are thinking about quitting over having to enforce the ban. novaramedia.com/2025/09/04/p…

you must stop looking at speeches to determine truths that are only revealed by arms sales

For too long now terrorists have been associated with murder, armed robbery, threats, extortion, money laundering etc. It's great that we're finally getting some ethical terrorists that we can really get behind without compromising our principles.

Palestine Action are based af, and anyone hating on them is not only a big-time genocide and apartheid fan, but a loser of the highest order, too.

… we’re being told to prepare for home schooling. Through what means?!?! There’s no light, no heat, no effin wifi, no chargers, no laptops, little bit of data being saved for emergencies and this furious rant 🤬

👋 from one of the over 100, 000 homes without power in Northern Ireland. We’re being told 30/1 or 3/2 for power restoration. Can’t help thinking if this was London or such we’d have prime ministerial statements, task forces and pump prime funding. Instead…

Every year, we perform 9.6 trillion hours of labour for the world economy. But the vast majority of this is controlled by capital and deployed to produce whatever is most profitable to capital. As a result we languish in conditions of mass deprivation and ecological breakdown.
Under conditions of economic democracy, by contrast, we could deploy our massive productive capacities instead toward improving human well-being, social progress, green transition, and ecological regeneration. We could address our social and ecological crises in very short order.
We live in a mere shadow of the world we could have.
