There's no record of Essex Police Chief Constable Harrington saying that he was "carrying out orders from Keir Starmer" in relation to protests outside the asylum hotel in Epping. This tweet is not true.

This was an awful paper that was always going to end up being retracted, unsurprisingly all the usual characters promoted this paper, including Toby Young’s Daily Sceptic

Odd that this @GBNews story does not mention that that the antisemitic conspiracy theorist Candace Owens is married to a member of the GB News board and that the deranged idea that Brigitte Macron is a man is taken seriously by some of the crackpots on its books.

If you're enjoying #Bookish then may I recommend this? I kill people in the country as well as the town. Can you crack the cipher? Work out whodunit? [The pitch: Hart to Hart meets Went the Day Well in the New Forest, summer of 1945.]

Come along do. No kilt required.

Tune in tonight for Episodes 3&4 of Bookish 📖 ✨ 8pm and 9.15pm on U&Alibi (Sky, Virgin Media and NOW) #Bookish

BBC Sounds is blocked outside UK today, so if you’re in Ireland or overseas let me know how it affects you - Lots more on this ep of ⁦@BBCR4Feedback⁩ where I talk to Jonathan Wall head of Sounds (if you can still access it) 👇🏼 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…

This is very nice to read. Unfortunately yesterday's show has disappeared from @bbcSounds but I'm sure the problem will be rectified. It's about Superheroes in the age of MAGA, Superman's anti-Fascism and the relationship between superhero music and the Wagnerian mode.

This man is owed an apology by @gbnews.
