'Just so furious’ with Labour: Nadia Whittome’s anger at government’s betrayal of disabled people ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8ghL...
John Davidson, the Tourette syndrome (TS) activist at the centre of the Baftas N-word controversy, says that Bafta and the BBC “should have been aware of what to expect” from TS, and that he had been told that any offensive words would be removed.
In an interview with Variety, Davidson said that Bafta had told him and the film’s backers StudioCanal “that any swearing would be edited out of the broadcast”. He said: “I have made four documentaries with the BBC in the past, and feel that they should have been aware of what to expect from Tourette’s and worked harder to prevent anything that I said – which, after all, was some 40 rows back from the stage – from being included in the broadcast.”
Davidson added: “I remember there was a microphone just in front of me, and with hindsight I have to question whether this was wise, so close to where I was seated.”

Watch – Epstein files fallout: Peter Mandelson arrested ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTUlQ...
Lindsay Hoyle, the Commons speaker, has revealed that he was the person who told the police that he had heard Peter Mandelson was planning to leave the country. Mandelson says this tip-off, which he says was wrong, led to him being arrested by the police, rather than being allowed to attend an interview voluntarily.
Mandelson told friends that the tip-off to the police had come from the lord speaker, Hoyle’s opposite number in the Lords, Michael Forsyth.
Hoyle told MPs today:
Members will be aware of comments in the media regarding the arrest of Lord Mandelson.
To prevent any inaccurate speculation, I’d like to confirm that upon receipt of information, that I felt it was relevant I pass this on to the Metropolitan police in good faith, as is my duty and responsibility.
It is regrettable this rapidly ended in the media. As this is a live investigation, members will understand … it would not be appropriate to make any further comment, and I’d like to caution members from doing so.

Watch: Anywhere but Washington ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFBvY...
Donald Trump officially made the longest State of the Union address in history on Tuesday night, with broad claims about the successes achieved during the first year of his second term.
But the speech that stretched across more than an hour and 41 minutes was filled with strong statements, many of them inflated, misleading or simply untrue.

Watch: No Time to Heal ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eoblm...
Russia will be able to sustain its invasion of Ukraine throughout 2026 even allowing for emerging economic and manpower pressures, while its missile and drone threat to Europe is growing, according to a leading military thinktank.
Bastian Giegerich, the director general of the International Institute for Strategic Studies, said there was “little indication” that “Russia’s ability to continue its war against Ukraine for a fifth year is diminished”.
The thinktank reported that the Kremlin spent at least $186bn (£138bn) on defence in 2025, an increase of 3% in real terms, amounting to 7.3% of the country’s GDP – more than double the proportion spent by the US and about three times the level of the UK.

Watch: Why gas is being sold as green, when it’s not ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAFlY...
Annual energy bills will fall by £117 for millions of households from April after Rachel Reeves’s plan to cut £150 a year from bills was partly foiled by rising costs.
The energy regulator Ofgem’s quarterly cap will fall by 7% a year for the three months from April to £1,641 for the average combined gas and electricity bill in Great Britain, from £1,758 under the current January-March cap.
The cut, which will provide some relief to stretched household finances, follows the November budget, in which the chancellor shifted some green energy costs away from household bills and into general taxation.

Why this Manchester byelection is a lesson in 21st century politics ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jhVUy...
It is the last full day of campaigning in the Gorton and Denton byelection and a new poll is out which suggests – that it is too close to call, and that the Green party, Labour and Reform UK all have a credible chance of winning.
The data is a bit more specific than that. Opinium has done the poll for Byline Times and Forward Democracy and the figures show a dead heat amongst all voters (the Greens and Labour on 28%, Reform UK on 27%), but the Greens marginally ahead (30%) of Labour and Reform UK (both on 28%) amongst people likely to vote.

Epstein files fallout: former US ambassador Mandelson arrested ► https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KTUlQ...
Peter Mandelson condemned the police for his arrest on Monday and claimed he was only taken into custody because detectives had wrongly believed he was about to flee the country.
In a remarkable rebuke to the Metropolitan police, lawyers for the former peer challenged the force to provide the evidence to justify their actions, insisting it was prompted by a “baseless” suggestion that he was planning to move abroad.

Former US ambassador Peter Mandelson has been released on bail after his arrest over claims he committed misconduct in public office during his friendship with the convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Police have been investigating allegations that he leaked Downing Street emails and market-sensitive information to the disgraced US financier during his time as business secretary. Mandelson has denied any wrongdoing.
