BBC top earners list in full: Highest paid stars revealed for 2023/24
‘The full list of BBC on-air salaries above £178,000 for 2023/24 have been revealed, as published in the corporation’s annual report.
Huw Edwards was the third highest-paid employee on the 2023/24 list, up from fourth last year, which was once again topped by Match Of The Day anchor Gary Lineker, whose salary remained unchanged at between £1,350,000 and £1,354,999.
This is the seventh consecutive year Lineker has topped the list and he continues to be the only star paid more than £1 million.
The salaries of many of the BBC’s most famous faces are not disclosed on the list because the corporation does not have to reveal the salaries….’ !!! (No doubt security reasons, such as where does the BBC get all its money from and why is this allowed to continue)?

Yes, I wish a few over here grew a spine when subject to her grotesquely loaded and propoganda ridden “bbc marxist opinions paraded as questions”.
In 2022, the ever righteous Angela Rayner blasted then Foreign Secretary Liz Truss for jetting off in the government’s A321 plane to Australia as “obscene”, “brazen” and a “disgusting waste” of taxpayer money for “vanity and comfort”. Odd, then, that her Foreign Secretary David Lammy chose this vile mode of transport to fly to India today…in the exact same plane. Lammy used the government jet to fly to Dubai (to re-fuel) and then on to Delhi. The fuel for Lammy’s trip alone would have roughly cost the taxpayer $111,000. One rule for them…

Already has, another muslim witness “shocked” oh yeah right, a flight from middle east and how would they treat attack on police over there eh mate ?

with muslim demanding what police should and should not be doing in the background and threatening them that he’s filming.

Female officer has broken nose and 3 other officers injured BUT all the MSM leading with the fact a officer kicked the guy in the head , it’s clear what the agenda is from the MSM on this one .
Clearly a lot more to it . Must admit, I can happily go about my life , every day without the need to invite a copper to boot me in the head . As the saying goes, play with feathers & you get you’re arse tickled 😂
Tonight on the 6:00 news not even fourth , horse beater, pm questions etc . So it’s not news but agenda. Protecting the religion of peace
If the person was genuinely concerned about the welfare of horses, then he/she would have released the video immediately, in order to prevent Ms Dujardin from committing further ‘horse abuse’.
But he/she didn’t. Ergo the aim was not to protect horses but to sabotage Ms Dujardin’s Olympic hopes. Who knows, perhaps to improve the chances of their own country in the competition?
How came the intelligentsia cannot see the blindingly obvious?
Here we go:
“The witness who filmed the footage, Amar Rafiq, was returning to Manchester from Qatar when he saw the incident unfold in front of him.
He told MailOnline: ‘I was just gobsmacked. The police [officer] just kicked the guy in the face.
‘Everyone was worried about themselves, they started panicking and rushing away, they feared they would be attacked.'”
Returning from Qatar, yet the twat appeared to be “gobsmacked”:
“‘Visitors will get into trouble’: Brutal Qatar laws put World Cup fans at risk. Football fans face being thrown behind bars or flogged over minor offences as they jet out to Qatar for the World Cup.
Boozing, swearing, taking photos and even having sex could all land people jail sentences thanks to “vague” and “confusing” laws in the Muslim Gulf State, Qatar still has capital punishment – and legal medieval punishments include flogging and stoning, although the latter has never been used”.
Lashes have also been dished out for people found drinking alcohol.
Meanwhile, taking photos without permission, flirting, swearing and arguing could also land footie fans in jail.
According to Detained in Dubai, the first person to report behaviour to the police will be taken the most seriously, even if it is completely unfair.
In Qatar, same-sex conduct is punishable by up to seven years in jail as it remains an offence under the Penal Code.
According to Article 296, “leading, instigating or seducing a male in any way to commit sodomy or dissipation” and “inducing or seducing a male or a female in any way to commit illegal or immoral actions” are crimes.
Radha said: “Sex outside marriage is illegal in Qatar so couples who book hotel rooms together are already in violation of the law, simply ‘hoping’ the law won’t be enforced.
“Homosexuality is unlawful and those who share a hotel room could be equally at risk.
“Visiting a destination and ‘hoping’ that illegal acts are not prosecuted puts visitors in a dangerous situation.
“Qatar’s abysmal human rights record means that abiding by the law does not protect visitors from prosecution or wrongful detention.”
thousands of women fans expected to travel to the Muslim Gulf State in November have been warned they face prosecution if they report offences.
Qatar’s strict Islamic code outlaws all sexual contact between unmarried couples.
This means that even rape victims can be prosecuted for what the state deems as “having sex” outside of marriage.
Around 100 prosecutions a year have been recorded under the strict “zina” laws banning sex and pregnancy outside of marriage.
Even rape victims have been prosecuted after suspects claimed sex was consensual – and handed sentences ranging from seven years jail to flogging with a whip or stick.
In 2016 a 22-year-old Dutch woman, named only as Laura, was convicted of extramarital sex, fined £580 ($A1000) and given a one-year suspended sentence after reporting a brutal rape.
She was drugged in a nightclub in Qatar before being sexually assaulted – but was arrested immediately when she reported the incident.

“Beleaguered Birmingham City Council have admitted they have to make a further £79 million in savings in the next financial year in a “shockingly grim” report.
The authority, which is the largest in Europe, has been tackling a huge mountain of debt and has already told residents of the UK’s second-biggest city they face a 21 percent hike in council tax over two years.
At the same time as asking people to pay more, the Labour-run administration also said it would have to cut £300 million from services and sell off £750 million in assets before April 2026.”

I don’t always read all the comments here so I may have missed anything here. There has been days of headlines on the Daily Mail about Strictly. I always thought Pernice was a slimy European, not my cup of tea at all. When I used to watch It Takes Two he was fawned over by Zoe Ball or whoever was introducing it. But I don’t think it fair that he has lost his job. Like Bake Off nothing Strictly happens by chance. Partnerships are decided for maximum publicity eg who is most likely to take up with their Professional. The outfits are chosen so when the contestant is coming to the end of their run, from being dressed to look beautiful, they are dressed as a clown and instead of that well known music they have to dance to some boring or unlistenable noise. It doesn’t always go to the BBC plan. I could feel the anger and despair when Anne Widdecombe kept her place week after week.
The professional dancers were paid by results. The further through the competition they got, the more the enormous sum they received. For people who were normally paid very little in their traditional roles, the fame and money must have greatly influenced the pressure they put on their partner. Now there is talk that they might have to end the show. The managers at the BBC can’t cope when things don’t go to plan. Personally, I gave up watching Strictly several years ago and I don’t give a fig.
Deborah – what ? You don’t read all the comments ? Not even marky mark and his repeats ?
The only thing I know about strictly was that a ‘para Olympian ‘ was on some radio interview moaning about being seriously hurt – self inflicted in the name of fame . Sounded like a plank …
Meanwhile – a better picture of the terrorist who knifed a lieutenant colonel ? Has emerged on the twitter … some say be looks like Lammy … and unless it’s a fake picture …. It does …
It’s posted under ‘sick of it’ ( no relation ) on the X – not taken down yet
Sorry FedUp2, sometimes life gets in the way and I miss the odd comment😔. But you haven’t said that there have been comments here on the hobbit’s ex-wife bringing Strictly down. It been top headlines on the Daily Mail website for days if not weeks.
Deborah ,
Sometimes – in my sad life as I’m reading about Chinese barry gardiner for the umpteenth time I wonder ‘why ‘ … and dream of the day when you can watch the BBC – but only on subscription and the TV licence is no more … then we can have the equivalence of a ‘party ‘ online as this site closes and I go back to 77 brigade …
I think you’re spot on with your assumptions Deb, that little is left to chance on Strictly, we have never been privy to the votes cast for each couple for instance, so it’d be easy to fix the outcome. As for Pernice, regardless of what he’s like as a person, I think he’s a “hot” dancer and been a joy to watch on the floor. I think the format should change, ditch the slebs, and give the public the opportunity to learn to dance.
Regarding this child benefit situation.
Does anybody know the actual amount that parents will get for the third child.
This payment is said to be to take a child from poverty to a normal life.
Is it a few hundred a month which would probably make a difference or is it fifteen or twenty pounds extra.
If it’s only a few pounds then it’s a fantastic (almost unbelievable) result if it changes a child’s life from a scruffy Dickensian beggar to a smart, healthy and well educated citizen…. unless the parent(s) use it to buy a packet of fags instead.
Should be enough to pay for sky and Netflix ….
New prog from the BBC “The Turkish Detective”.
They really won’t stop until the Country is Muslim will they?
At some point even the BBC will realise that islamification of this country is not a good idea. It’s already too late. Surkeer’s elevation to Chief Flipper Flopper will only accelerate this trend and probably make any defence against it illegal.
There is something very fishy about this whole Manchester Airport video. I’ve watched the 44s and the 2m 20s versions and there are so many things which look fake to me. In fact if you open them in different tabs and watch them together at 1/4 and normal speed you can see the acting even more clearly.
Let’s take the 44s video first.
1) Just 1 second in, the man on the ground has his head turned away from the boot, however he deliberately turns his head toward the cop so he can see the boot coming.
2) The woman holding him down starts backing away before the cop aims the kick – she knows its coming because its staged.
3) The man jerks his head back as the cop kicks him, basic stunt training.
4) The woman then holds his head in the exact position so when the cop stamps down he deliberately misses the man on the ground.
5) The woman then deliberately moves the man on the ground into a different position so the cop can kneel down in the correct place. This is so fake its unreal.
6) The girl cop seems to taser someone (after she’s waited for the camera to point to her). The longer video shows that its a man in a red shirt. However next to him is a man with a beard in a long sleeve black shirt. The camera shows his face and he seems to be very very briefly looking at the camera then looks down at his IPad.
7) Camera then points back to the main scene, and the other suspect sitting on the yellow chairs with his hands behind his head is clearly gesturing to other people as if to say it’s all ok, stay out of this. He uses one hand then starts frantically waving with both hands at passers by as if to shoo them away.
8) Then at 17s in the short video, the film quality subtly changes.
9) The cops then order the seated man onto the floor. Just as he gets up, the woman stands up and calmly moves toward him, apparently unconcerned that the first man has apparently been kicked and stamped. One of the cops pretends to hit him with a yellow thing (possibly a taser) but quite clearly deliberately misses him.
10) Then, in the longer video, the man in the red shirt, who just a few seconds earlier appeared to be a target for tasering, is shown calmly being allowed to move suitcases out of the way to give the cops more room. He’s also holding what looks like a mobile in his right hand.
11) In the shorter video the man with the long sleeve dark shirt then exits the scene and appears to be smiling.
12) The man originally kicked and stamped on appears remarkably unharmed throughout.
13) There are several scenes where the people involved suddenly start doing something when the camera starts pointing at them.
It just doesn’t look right. And the timing of this is curious as well, as are the various press releases. Tin hat time I think.
I have just checked the BBC Sport home page.
Four articles/videos featuring the diver Tom Daley.
I suppose we got off lightly – it could have been five or more!
I really don’t want any more reasons to avoid the ‘Limpics…
Jo Cox Killer (White, right-wing):
From the Telegraph:
‘Mr Mair had suffered from mental health problems and from epilepsy for some years. ‘
BBC Article:
‘Ms Cox, the former Batley and Spen MP was killed by far-right terrorist Thomas Mair’
Army Officer stabbed multiple times in frenzied attack my Muslim (not confirmed but 99% certain simply because they haven’t told us anything except ‘not terror related’):
BBC Article:
‘The stabbing is not being treated as terror-related.’ and ‘exploring the possibility that the incident may have been “mental health-related.”‘.
How many times have we seen this kind of cover-up to stop us knowing when violent Muslims try to murder us ?.
And why is a Muslim attack only ever ‘terror-related’ and never ‘terrorist’ ?. And even then, it’s only ‘terror-related’ when they can link it to a global terrorist organisation.
It’s most likely he tried to murder this soldier because we have stood up against Muslim terrorists in other countries. Which makes him a 100% terrorist in my eyes.
This is the world we live in now. We are constantly being told by the BBC how racist we are – yet they are the most racist of anybody. If someone was hiding what white people did but calling Muslims every name under the sun, they would be outraged.
How easy must it be if you are a mad-moscow-marxist who wants to do in the UK military to find some crazed nutter who hates whitey. All you then have to do is wind them up like a clockwork toy and point them in the right direction.
Once the crazed lunatic erupts you then have plausible deniability.
Not sure he is a Muslim, but certainly has a Nigerian surname. No doubt one of the many hard-working doctors and skilful engineers that come here from Nigeria for the benefit the UK economy. So sad then to see poor Anthony Esan suffering from mental illness and only a L-plated scooter to get around the Medway area on.
I’m long past the stage of being shocked by the lies spread by the MSM , not just the BBC but the entire MSM. In the past five or so years I have belatedly come to realise that the Telegraph and Spectator may have a cosmetic right leaning stance but will always put Globalism before the national interest.
The destruction of the nation state as the building block of the international world is key to the triumph of Globalism. Hence they will support anything which undermines patriotism and belief in your own nation.
Re write history, change the population, create a homogeneous country and world, bombard folks with propaganda 24/7, remove power from the national government and transfer it to supra national bodies , create an unelected , unaccountable Supreme Court to ensure that the people’s elected representatives can’t implement a nation first agenda. All of these are all well advanced in the UK.
We are watching our country dissolve before our eyes and I fear that there is little that democracy can do to stop it let along reverse it. We need help from outside.
However, one point baffles me. Why are the Globalists so tolerant of Islam? Surely they don’t think that their liberal Globalist creed and Islam will get along in the future!
Biden to tell US it was time to ‘pass the torch’ to Harris
https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c29d236xxy7t#player
I only went intot his to see if I could catch Joe speaking live – and I found one the BBC’s very slippery articles where nothing was quite as I expected.
They even devote a large paragraph questioning why Trump calls her ‘Kuh-MAL-uh’ or ‘KAH-mala’ !.
As usual, Trump nailed it:
‘”She’s much worse than him,” he says of Harris, calling Biden a “fake liberal” whereas Harris, he says, is a “real liberal”.’
Anyway, the reason I wanted to see the video was to see if Joe does it live. The BBC tell me: ‘Watch Biden’s address live’ which infers it is, but doesn’t actually say it – which would be ‘Biden’s live address’. But they clearly want me to think it’s live.
That deception appears through the whole article – so it is definitely another directive to make us implicitly believe it is indeed live.
I have a very strong inclination that it’s a complete lie and the whole thing has been pre-recorded.
Oh – he’s started. My goodness, it looks pre-recorded and the best they could do is still terrible. He can hardly get 4 words out without messing it up even though he is staring intently at the teleprompter. He’s even worse than we thought. And it’s so clearly very carefully rehearsed – just like Greta Thunberg. He’s like some kind of malfunctioning robot – I’m half expecting sparks to come out of his ears.
The self-adulation and rhetoric is sickening. I can’t watch any more. It’s as far from Presidential as you can get. Let’s see if the BBC agree …
John, I fear for your ‘mental health’ after having to see this!
It’s probably an AI cut-and-paste from his previous appearances, which seems dead easy to do nowadays…
It’s definitely on the creepy side Scrobs.
It looks like AI, but the way he slurs his words as usual seems to be to real for what I think AI could do.
More likely he is wearing lots and lots of makeup as well as being pumped on drugs for his last ‘legacy’ performance.
The one thing it isn’t is ‘honest’. But they know he will get another free pass from the MSM because the only thing which matters to them is to stop Trump.
It just seemed that Biden was making a super effort to keep it together . Total focus on the autocue – no human expresseion – a frozen face – a desperation not to fluff his lines – which he did a big …. Dead eyes ….
Enemies of the US – whether china or america – must be deciding which way the election is going to go . If trump can beat the fix I’m sure they’ll be more worried about him that the Obama puppet .
Biden claimed the US was not at war during his time – and no one had done that before – but I thought Trump had a presidency without US coffins coming back from somewhere …
I wonder is Obama will wait and see how the cackler gets on and tells Biden to resign if she needs a boost ….. ?
Apparently the time on Biden’s wristwatch was wrong, although I’m not sure whether it *could* be due to the different timezone.
Certainly looks pre-recorded, probably take #10 or something.
The giveaway would be the minute hand.
I would say 0% chance it was live, but recorded not long before hence we get lots of slurring and struggling but no major meltdowns. Their problem is it had to be one continuous take as it was supposed to be live.
Some of the things he was saying were downright sickening. 100% lies. The Republicans are the ones full of hate and he is the honest one representing everything good : honesty, decency etc etc. He even took credit for curing cancer (not yet of course, but he assured us he will).
The BBC have (of course) edited the clip they show us. The first part is where he doesn’t really say anything but doesn’t have any of the slurring the real speech is full of. Then they switch to another clip – and to make sure you get the message, they add their own caption on the video saying ‘Praises Harris as tough, capable’. Have you got that everybody ?.
What a joke.
The fifth column, UK haters unite
“Crowd of hundreds mass overnight outside police station where men from Manchester Airport video were taken after chaotic incident where cop kicked and stamped on man’s head chanting ‘GMP shame on you'”
How many on here have masks and megaphones sitting around….this lot have
One man holding a megaphone was hear telling listeners to remain peaceful at the protest, before adding ‘but tomorrow if we don’t get justice, these motherf*****s are gonna get it’.
The ones not wearing masks tell us everything we need to know.
The truth of this matter – whether you admit it to yoursel for not – is that these people are simply bringing their violent culture to the UK. Just look at how they behave in Pakistan : put a rumour out on social media that someone burned a Koran and a mob will arrive to murder the accused without trial and also members of their family if they can.
This is why the BBC sicken me so much. They are in complete self-denial because they cannot comprehend how their ideological agenda has failed. If we give them everything they demand, why aren’t they just like us ?. Their solution is to give them more.
It reminds me of a crisis once at BAE SYSTEMS where the end result by management of a project running late because there were not enough people actually doing the job was to add more management.
They’ve been emboldened because the left, left leaning Establishment and MSM, BBC, treat them as untouchable, to do anything to them is racist. Stand by for apologies and compo payouts.
White people behave badly but no one would object if they had been white.

In the video a MSM ‘pussy-whipped perfumed ponce’ instantly folds. He can look around the studio hoping that Sir Lancelot will come to his rescue. But the truth is that that rescuer was long ago removed. A bit like the Manchester policeman who will be drummed out of his duties.
The Left destroy everything they interfere with.
They go against nature and lose every time. Often ending up with them using the ‘final solution’ to rid themselves of those they don’t like when things go badly.
Like the Left just tried with Trump but missed.
Apparently the plane he travels in is the most likely way they will try next – but that takes special skills and can’t be blamed on a 20 year old kid.
Speaking of which, have you noticed how little the MSM are making of the fact he had a 2 remote-controlled ‘bombs’ in his car ?. Seems way too much preperation and skill for a 20 year old to manage along with all the other planning to me, never mind the cost : I have a feeling he was supposed to detonate it when making his escape to destroy all evidence. Why else would he do that ?.
Anything a bit odd which the BBC don’t talk about is always a sure pointer that there is something they don’t want us to know. I can only find a ‘breaking news’ about suspicious devices in his car then nothing at all.

“Did DEI crash 8.5M computers? CrowdStrike probed for sidelining its white, male coders.
CrowdStrike hit with complaint over ‘unlawful’ diversity-hiring initiatives. The cybersecurity firm promotes staff based on sex and skin color, not merit.
AFL lawyer Dan Epstein said there was plenty of evidence that the $3-billion-a-year firm, which is headquartered in Austin, Texas, used ‘race as a basis for advancement in employment.’
Public statements by CrowdStrike executives showcase ‘values in favor of racial discrimination over the true diversity of thought and opinion’ and indicated ‘unlawful activity’ by the firm, Epstein added.
AFL’s complaint letter on Wednesday highlights the company’s track record in hiring and promoting women or minority employees — rather than the best managers, coders and other staffers.
It points to the DEI pages on CrowdStrike’s website, and it’s ‘commitment to building a diverse workforce’ through mentorship and ‘internal development programs’ aimed at women and minorities, when no such schemes exist for white men. These include so-called ’employee resource groups,’ which separate workers along racial, gender and sexual identity lines
It points to comments from CrowdStrike executives about equity and inclusion, including the former DEI chief Sheree Haggan’s push for a ‘progressive atmosphere that promotes black diversity.’
‘The company’s self-described, ongoing employment practices are patently unlawful, deeply harmful, and immoral,’ says the letter. ‘Decades of case law hold that — no matter how well-intentioned — policies that seek to impose racial balancing are prohibited.'”

I worked in a large software team at BAE SYSTEMs for a fighter jet main-computer. Part of my job was integrating the software onto the target hardware and make it work. So I often went to the main software team to explain what was wrong and how to fix it so it worked with other peoples software. After a while you earn respect and people accept what you say without argument.
That was until a female subcontractor was taken on. Talk about stubborn and arrogant. When I went to her with a bug in her code, it wasn’t ‘OK, I see what’s wrong. I’ll change it and update it in the formal system’ like everybody else did. It was ‘Who are you to tell me to change my software’. She was a nightmare because she couldn’t accept being told she had made an error and her code didn’t work. In the end, the boss had to tell her ‘just change it like he says’.
I reminds me of that office which was staffed entirely by women. It failed spectacularly because of the bitching and backstabbing. I can imagine I got plenty of knives in my back from that woman.
I suspect there is only a certain type of woman who wants to work in a technical field like software development in teams which are almost exclusively male. And they are the sort I just described. So I can easily believe DEI was 100% the root cause of the problem.
We live in an age where the Left and Feminists (who are mostly just misandrists) will not accept any suggestion that men and women are different. They are. Nature made them like that because that is how we evolved to be top of the tree. Men are better at some things, women are better at others.
“Men are better at some things, women are better at others.”
Absolutely! And viva la difference! As I’ve said many a time, as a heterosexual male, I adore women, and the fact they aren’t like us blokes!
All day I work in an office full of sweaty, farty, belching, ugly, ugly, rude men (no offence colleagues), what a relief to go home and spend some time with my lovely, charming wife, but at the same time, she’d be hopeless in my work environment.
What I don’t understand are those who think there is anything ‘wrong’ with those differences, it’s what mother nature intended, and a partnership of male and female, ying and yang, is a powerful combination.
“AFL has filed complaints with the EEOC targeting workplace diversity schemes by the NFL, Major League Baseball and dozens of companies, including Starbucks, McDonald’s, Morgan Stanley, Activision Blizzard and Kellogg.
The legal action group, founded by Stephen Miller, a former senior adviser to President Donald Trump, is among a number of conservative organizations fighting diversity quotas in public and private institutions.”

Will this reporting ever end
Just checked to confirm and sure enough, they use the ‘new’ story to completely rehash the old one. They do this just to make it current again and make sure everyone remembers just how racist white police are. I’m only surprised they didn’t mentio George Floyd in there as well.
I’ve realised this is what the BBC want. They NEED a social divide between Left and Right in order to fight their ideological war. All of these stories are intended to promote hate between BAME/Lefties and the Right.
The BBC are poison. They are a cancer which wants to destroy society as we know it.
Looks like the religious police are doing their ‘thing ‘ with regard to the ethnic who stabbed a senior army officer …,
The ‘thing ‘ is to announce the name / charge at the time when the public are not looking – such as when the Olympics gets going – or telling us that he is ‘mental ‘ and we will never know who he is
Done in the name of ‘community safety ‘ of course …
Meanwhile Islam is telling Manchester who is in charge now …
I thought The Mare was in charge of Manchester…
Oh… it’s Burnham!
So no!
Entitled idiot:
“Being on Strictly was like ‘fighting in the trenches’, Amanda Abbington sobs”
Really ? do some reading love…
It’s a sprint to the finish line as we wend our way through this edition
Yesterday Mr AsI joked about our media’s penchant for sharks and nazis… speak of the devil, as they say…
Jaws swims up the Thames… A shark has been spotted wending its way up the Thames in London – ‘wending’ – get her – (Charles Wade-Palmer, Chrondrichthyes Correspondent, Daily Star) – well we want our rivers cleaned up so they can support wildlife
And, I suppose it makes a change from: PMQs: Oxfordshire MP makes first question about Thames Water… stood up to question Sir Keir Starmer about “sewage dumping” from Thames Water (Oxford Mail)
It never rains but it pours
Thames Water risks fine after junk rating… credit rating was slashed to junk status… no longer meets licence conditions imposed by the regulator Ofwat… at potential risk of a fine of up to 10 per cent of its turnover (Telegraph) – and what possible good would that do – other than help force the failing company into state ownership?
And as the jokey blokey red top Daily Star goes all fancy pants, what with their double-barrelled Chrondrichthyes correspondent and their wending…
So our BBC goes cor blimey tabloid about a bit of weather: UK getting more hot and more wet days – Met Office… Climate change is dramatically increasing the frequency of extreme high temperatures in the UK, new Met Office analysis has confirmed (BBC)
Not to worry, King Chas and Sir Keir have got all this climate change malarkey pegged: King Charles, energy tycoon… Crown Estate strikes deal with Labour on GB Energy (‘i’)
Labour plans thousands of offshore wind turbines (Times)
Remind me, how does that old BBC/NGO/campaign pressure group commentary go? Oh yeah, that’s it “doesn’t go far enough”…
Revealed: rich western countries lead global gas and oil expansion (Guardian) – it’s summer time and we’ve had a few warm days so it must be time for a big global warming push.
World breaks hottest day record twice in a week (BBC)
Speaking of propaganda: What one Moscow square says about Russia’s worsening relations with West… Moscow’s Europe Square renamed Eurasia Square… It’s a little change that says a lot about the direction in which Russia is moving: away from the West… There were once dozens of flags of different European countries flying here. They were removed last year, and now the name’s gone too. Goodbye Europe; hello Eurasia (Steve Rosenberg, BBC, Moscow Correspondent) – honestly folks, The past has never been altered. Oceania was at war with Eurasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia – there’s one for our Orwell scholars hereabouts.
I wouldn’t diss Russia all the time Steve. If it weren’t for Russia we wouldn’t have Boney M’s Rasputin and what a loss that would be. And can you imagine a world without Babooshka by Kate Bush?
Our Steve makes a valid philosophical point here: But at the end of the day, does a name really matter? Following the 1917 Russian Revolution so many streets and squares in Russia were renamed to feature the word “communism”. Did it help the Soviet Union build communism? Not in the slightest
However, closer to home (and maybe it’s because I’m a Londoner): Sadiq Khan launches £25,000 grants to change street names in London… The grants form part of a £1m ‘Untold Stories’ fund to help champion diversity in the city (Time Out, 2021)
The FT knows what it likes and would dearly love to see more women in top jobs: Standard bearer… Venezuela opposition leader rallies support as challenge to Maduro mounts… Maria Corina Machado waves a Venezuelan flag – fun with flags, eh? For a moment there I thought the FT’s frontpage feature picture was the Latin American nation’s Olympic opening ceremony flag-bearing parade squad. The globalist FT prefering the oil rich western hemisphere country to our very own: Flying the flag… The rower Helen Glover and the diver Tom Daley… – that’s your Team GB – as featured on the cover of the rather more parcochial Times, Mirror, ‘i’ and Star
Meanwhile the only national banner on the frontpage of the Guardian is inevitably the old red, green, white and black: Protests as Netanyahu addresses Congress
Not that the Gruan particularly admire the sport but I’m sure they’ll find some identity political angle sooner or later. Meanwhile it’s not all living up to their diversity kumbayah one-world love-in high standards: Inauspicious start? crowd trouble halts first Olympic football match
In case you wondering if England fans were up to their old tricks – au contraire: Morocco beat Argentina 2-1 in chaotic opening game of 2024 Olympics marred by crowd trouble… equaliser sparked objects being thrown onto the pitch and players were taken off for their safety as Morocco fans invaded the pitch in Lyon… VAR disallowing Argentina’s stoppage-time equaliser after players returned to field to complete game in empty stadium… After almost two hours without play (Sky Sports) – I know VAR can be slow but that’s ridiculous.
Where were we before we digressed for fun with flags? Ah yes, the FT’s preferential taste for a female in a top job…
Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma chameleon
You come and go, you come and go
Loving would be easy if your colours were like my dreams
Red, gold, and green, red, gold, and green
Karma, karma, karma, karma, karma, Kamala Harris
Harris taps party’s burst of energy for election sprint (FT) ‘sprint’ ? – watch out for those many Olympic-flavoured sports analogies to come in the race for the presidency.
Biden tells US it’s time to ‘pass the torch’ to Harris (BBC) – told you so.
“Protests as Netanyahu addresses Congress” buring the USA flag and flying the Palestinian flag – protests that are mostly peaceful.

Prof Mary Beard joins @amolrajan & @bbcnickrobinson to give a classical take on current US and UK politics… though woe betide the host who asks which emperor Donald Trump most resembles…
Quite right.
Have to say Toenails does have more than a passing resemblance to Goebbels.
Yeah yeah Asiseeit but what about the important news ? Tommy Thomas Tugendhat wants to be the ‘leader of the blue party ‘ just like cleverley and .. er . … whoever .
I looked at wiki on Tom – full blown remainer – posh schools – bit of military – dossing around in non jobs – dad a high court judge – Tommy wants to ‘serve his country ‘ … yeah right . Shame he kept his seat really … but has ‘connections ‘ ..
Suggest you take a look at today’s Telegraph as he seems to have undergone a ‘reset’.
The way I read this is that he realises that his party need to be a bit more like Reform.
Open to leaving the ECHR, Energy Security and low bills before Net Zero. Increase defence spending to 3%.

Tugendhat: I’m ready to leave the ECHR (Telegraph)
I’m reminded of that old advertising slogan for the Topic chocolate bar
“Funny how you always remember right at the end”
Mr AsI might have included this Tory statement in his newspaper review – but it just didn’t quite pass the consequentiality test – whereas a shark spotted in the Thames!
Tommy Tug just another posh boy playing the game – Cameron – Johnson … da da da …. Don’t get me wrong If a posh boy is capable – then that’s okay – although by their very nature they will be even more disconnected than the usual expenses addict ….
Labour will quickly adopt the fully disconnected characteristics even more than before . Their chancellor is off to a 2 day jolly in Brazil – a G7 party – screw Leeds – let the Muslims riot – she’s got her career to care about …Tommy being the same …
Effective criticism reacted to by a DEI hire?
Sorry if this has already been discussed
Thought i’d see the latest on the bbc webshte re the Army officer being stabbed
Anthony Esan is the culprite, thought i’d google the name and see the images, this is a popular Nigerian name, Nigeria has a large muslim population…
Maybe the bbc will go on and on about this if it is a black person lol, doubt it, and this would get dropped quickly from their “reporting”
Unlike the Stephen Lawrence reporting still going on and on
UK Army to kneel to end racism?
Anthony Esan, 24, was arrested near his home address in Mooring Road, Rochester, at approximately 6.30pm the same day and has now been charged with attempted murder and possession of an offensive weapon in a public place.
He is due to appear at Medway Magistrates’ Court on Thursday 25 July.
https://www.kent.police.uk/news/kent/latest/policing-news/suspect-charged-with-attempted-murder-of-soldier-in-gillingham/
Wonder is Anthony Esan is a convert …? At least the public get to know his name … I thought they’d bury it again …

“Knife crime has surged by 5% in the past year, according to the latest release from the ONS, marking a concerning rise in violence across England and Wales.”
https://benkinsella.org.uk/knife-crime-statistics-increases-by-5-percent-jan-2024/
Up and up and up year on year. Despite policing and the islamic contingent of the Home Offices’ knife crime legislation. When will the elite admit that the invasion of foreigners has caused many of these sorts of crimes and disclose the foreign element held in UK prisons?
At least he’s minimally law abiding – using “L” plates…………….
I notice no mention that these “solar farms” are largely run by opaque specially formed companies in tax havens and that the accounting of subsidy / generation is pretty much entirely absent – it stinks .
Put them in Ed Millibands 2nd Kitchen!
‘Green’ levies 25% of average electricity bill plus VAT of 5% = electricity energy theft of 30%:
“Mr Halfon clarified that green levies comprised 25% of electricity bills. This is correct according to a 2021 Ofgem breakdown of electricity bill costs which showed that environmental and social obligation costs accounted for 25% of an average electricity bill”.

Solar panels belong on rooftops, not on fields!
Until every square inch of roof on every public building is swathed in solar panels, and every square inch of south facing walls (buildings over a century old excepted), none should be placed on agricultural land.
“Solar panels typically last 25-30 years, with gradual power reduction starting afterward. This industry standard lifespan ensures you’ll benefit from solar energy for decades. Reputable manufacturers back this up with 25-year production warranties, guaranteeing at least 80% efficiency during that period.9 Jul 2024”
Um, white cops stop and restrain black thug, cue start of protests and cries of racism. Black thug stabs soldier in uniform – nothing.
