.@tonylivesey should never have been hired by the BBC. The Sport was a disgusting newspaper - amongst other things published rape stories in titillating style - perfectly obvious when Livesey was hired.

Michael Grade was once a great TV executive, but he's no longer fit to hold public office. Under his watch Ofcom have become one of the weakest institutions in the British state. A complete joke.
I know the heat can make us all light headed but i think I just heard the ex Chair of @Ofcom Michael Grade tell @katierazz on #mediashow that @bbcr4today or any other BBC News programme could be presented by a politician just like @GBNEWS. Can anyone remind me when parliament, the public, licence fee payers or anyone else was asked their opinion on this ?
Am looking forward to @_investorsummit tomorrow. Lots of good talks and debates including a panel discussion on cancer immunotherapy that I'm moderating. I'll also want to hear talks from Justin Urquhart Stewart - @ustewart - and @John_Stepek. Tickets still available!
It's pancake day on Tuesday! Come to a pancake party at @stbrideschurch on Fleet Street, at 6PM. Pancakes plus auction where lots include trips to Lord's, Silverstone and a trendy London club. Buy tickets on the door or here: stbrides.com/events/pancake-… (£10 a head)
I'm furious with @fxpal_ They've published an article with my photo and bio, but I never wrote the article. So dodgy! fxpal.com/guides/remitly-to-…
Stuart Ashman of @skinbioT boasts his business is 'no longer a company, but a group.' Why is that impressive? Just means he's boosting his ego via unnecessary empire building.
This is the best article I've read on what went wrong. 100% true. nytimes.com/2024/11/09/opini…
Can't understand why @KamalaHarris wants to change the rules for Trump debate on Sep 10. Apparently she wants microphones for both candidates always on. That will enable Trump to talk over her incessantly and she won't get her messages across. Mistake.
.@deanbphillips is looking pretty smart right now. If only more Democrats had voted for him back at the beginning of the year.
today's comment from JK Rowling on a trans referee is rude and silly. telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/05… Surely there's a middle ground? i.e 15 year olds can't have puberty blockers, birth-assigned men can't play in womens' sport, BUT we treat all trans people with respect.
Shame on @michaelgove for allowing 'the slab.' Will dominate Thames for little benefit. Ugly. theguardian.com/commentisfre…
.@FinsburyParkPH Why are you not showing films in all your screens? You're offering fewer film showings in the day and evenings. What's going wrong?

Delighted to be there host @middletemple Treasurer’s reception last night ! I was particularly pleased to see HH Peter Bowsher KC a legendary OR and TCC Judge who introduced me as a student to the Middle Temple.
This article is wrong: nytimes.com/2023/09/19/opini…
If Biden says now he won't run, he'll only be a lame duck for 15 months. Saying that now increases Democrat chances of winning in '24. And then we'll have a 1st term democrat President who shouldn't be a lame duck for whole term.
I'm fed up with @linkedin. Somehow my LI account now has a different identity. It's headed 'Vincent Mark'. I complained to linkedin 3 days ago. My complaint was acknowledged but nothing else has happened. Not good enough! Especially as I'm applying for things.
I can understand bringing Suella Braverman back in the cabinet for party unity. But back to the Home Office? Come on! First mistake by Rishi.
Huw Edwards can’t remember if there were ever 3 former pms in commons. It’s 1979-83: Callaghan, Wilson and Heath.
Salaries of Church of England clergy don't come from 'royal treasury's tax revenue.' They come primarily from gifts from Church of England worshippers. Author doesn't understand how C of E works.
