News Round-Up
5 May 2025
Gary Lineker and Emma Thompson are fronting a new green campaign against air travel, even though they are both, by their own admission, frequent flyers. It's one rule for them...
In the latest episode of the Weekly Sceptic, the talking points are whether the Tories really are facing wipe out, Channel 4's dodgy exposé of Reform and Macron's humiliation.
An investigation by the Mail on Sunday has revealed that workers in Bangladesh, who produce Gary Lineker's £55 X Next jacket, are paid just 44p an hour.
A new, centre-Right podcasting and events business called Based has just been launched. Check out the website where you can sign up for ad-free, extended versions of the Weekly Sceptic, free tickets to live shows and more.
Gary Lineker ought to be an obscure figure, says Dr David McGrogan, but the fact he is central to the national debate symbolises much of what is wrong with the way things are going. He exudes the midwit phenotype.
In the latest Weekly Sceptic podcast the talking points are the Tories facing electoral oblivion, Trump's victory in Iowa and Gary Lineker's claim not to realise he was tweeting anti-Israel propaganda.
Gary Lineker breached the BBC's social media rules in tweets about Tory MPs during a row about the Government's Rwanda policy, the incoming corporation Chairman Samir Shah believes.
The BBC has been accused of 'pro-Israel bias' in its coverage of Gaza, according to allegations made by its own reporters.
Cancel culture is definitely real, as we have seen with the recent cancellation of comedian Alfie Brown. Finding out that the BBC is not renewing your show for a seventh series, however, probably doesn't count.
What Gary Lineker should or should not be allowed to say matters not a jot when set against the real scandal: that our national broadcaster could not care less about fairly representing both sides to contentious debates.
