Can I just say that this, illustrating a Hackwatch on Telegraph columnists debating climate change, is the thing I am most pleased with in the new @privateeyenews.bsky.social out today?

If you can’t think of anything nice to say, I believe there’s a vacancy at The Spectator.

NEW | A corrective to the gushing tributes… LIDDLE TO BE CELEBRATED An honest obituary for Rod Liddle, dead at 66, dead inside for many years before that. brokenbottleboy.substack.com/p/liddle-to-...

Your reminder that Rod Liddle thought all minority groups could be belittled and mocked. In that respect he was equal opportunities. 0/10 for originality for using The One Joke.

Your reminder Rod Liddle not only said he couldn't have become a teacher because he "could not remotely conceive of not trying to shag the kids" in The Spectator, but he also wrote laws banning child pornography are "absurd" in The Guardian. Abhorrent.

Ms Badenoch says people who "made provisions and saved up over the course of their lives" shouldn't be adversely affected. Which leaves: People who could never afford to do that. They deserve help! People who never needed to do that. They should be fairly taxed! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Norwich CAMRA have chosen AI slop as the logo for this year’s beer festival. Firstly, it’s AI slop. Secondly, it’s just rubbish! In a city known (renowned, even) for its creativity this is utter wank. norwich.camra.org.uk/2026/07/norw...

Absolutely pathetic stuff from Simon Jones. He is the reason people fixate on immigration as an issue, when climate emergency, the cost of living, social care, and the NHS are far more important and relevant.
Sunder Katwala (sundersays)Here are 3 persistent skews + flaws in BBC framing, as just predicted this morning, leaving public misinformed about a v salient issue of boats - Report the visible optics - Miss the context & trends - Misattribute causes (weather! What were last 10 days weather)
