What is the BBC's justification for maintaining this level of coverage of Reform now it has slipped into third place?

BBC News just interrupted its coverage to go, live, to Nigel Farage - a man with no contitutional standing in our setup - responding to the budget - a document which nobody has seen yet. WHY

The Guardian’s report about Kane winning the Ballon d’Or somehow doesn’t mention he used to play for Tottenham (yet does say he had loan spells at Millwall and Orient, and that Bayern bought him for €100m - but no mention of who from) 🤷🏻‍♂️

Danny Tommo's 'patriot platform' vigilantes were refused service in The George Inn, Portsmouth. They demanded to know why, despite the fact they do not have to be given a reason. Always make bigots feel unwelcome. Show the pub some love for doing the right thing. Things you love to see ✊❤️

Last month, we refurbished 10 tennis courts in Crotona Park — the only public tennis courts in the Bronx with lights for night play. We stopped by recently to see how things were going. Thank you to NYJTL, USTA and Yonex for helping us deliver high-quality public spaces that New Yorkers deserve.

Sir John Curtice’s average of recent polling puts Rejoin on 61% among people expressing a preference, compared with 39% who would stay outside. He also warns those figures could tighten once the terms of membership became part of a real campaign. How would you vote today?

Dozens of gas-burning power plants are being built across the country, solely to power data centers. These plants could emit as much planet-warming pollution as half of all passenger vehicles in the entire country in a single YEAR. We need a data center moratorium — now.

Once again, billpayers are being rinsed for £3.4bn to fix a water network neglected for decades. It's time the government kept their promise and finally scrapped the failing Ofwat for good.

The state of this. A lovely day out for Badenoch and Philp, playing dress up and making pronouncements about early release schemes - having left the country with one hundred available men's prison places, after fourteen years in charge. You read that right. One hundred places.

This is a stark warning: the climate emergency is here, yet the Government moves at a snail’s pace. It's time for a national strategy: funding cool hubs for vulnerable groups, mandating cooling and ventilation in new homes, supporting drought-affected farmers and heat-proofing NHS facilities.

The Guardian, touting the recent drop in inflation as a lift for Burnham, even though he had nothing to do with it. Credit is due to PM Starmer, but does he get a mention?. No, of course not. The headline should be, 'UK inflation falls to 2.6% thanks to the Govt. of Prime Minister Keir Starmer'.

If this is Conservativism today where have all their voters gone ?

Yesterday I attended CPAC (Conservative Party for Absent Conservatives). Bunty & I took our 4 year old grandson Clive. Had great fun playing musical chairs, hide & seek & spot the delegate. Irritated though by the slightly tipsy blonde woman warbling away about pork markets, fracking & blobs.

Trump: "Greenland is very important for the United States, but it's not important for Denmark. In fact, when Denmark was overrun by the Nazis in less than one day -- Hitler beat them out in one day, took over -- they asked us to take care of Greenland. We shouldn't have given it back to them."

X is currently full of posts falsely naming Christi Hill and another officer as having arrested Henry Nowak. One names and pictures the other PC, saying, "Wanted: dead or alive". It gives his address. What more exactly will it take to get UK MPs, ministers and departments off that hellsite?
