The Andrew Neil Report. First Edition! I start by laying out my stall in terms of what I hope this podcast will achieve — a global perspective on politics, geopolitics and economics placing events in the context of worldwide trends. My first guest is Andrew Ross Sorkin, author of books on the Crashes of 1929 and 2008 (that one turned into The Big Short movie). We look at what happened then to see how close we are to another (AI-inspired?) Crash today. youtu.be/cfF-susbboI?si… via @YouTube
First edition of The Andrew Neil Report out tomorrow morning, June 11. On all major podcast platforms and YouTube. Or use the QR to go direct to it.
So this is happening. . .
Well, @PaulMcCartney ‘s new album is an absolute cracker: so many hooks and such great songs. And the material really plays to his voice.
for those who've reposted this - thanks - but I seem to have cocked up the substack a bit so I'm gonna need to delete and start again! Argghhh!! Sorry . .
Here you go @JohnCleese - relevant to your message about activists and the BBC. Still awaiting new DG to say anything about it but let’s stay optimistic that he does!
Inside the capture of the BBC, by Rob Burley (@RobBurl) In his 13 years as a senior BBC editor, Rob Burley saw the Corporation’s defining commitment to impartiality undermined by transgender ideology, a blind commitment to Diversity & Inclusion schemes, and a culture of
Two Good Egg guests. One weekend. Two big stories. Great conversations 👇 @ggatehouse on the Observer's cover: did the CIA poison Gordon Banks in 1970? 🎙️ podfollow.com/peter-yorks-cu… @RobBurl's BBC/trans investigation in UnHerd more coverage in the Times. 🎙️ podfollow.com/beebwatch
Sean seems nice.
@RobBurl You are one of the dumbest cunts who's ever lived.
@RobBurl Just to throw another example into the ring - here's how it came to be that the BBC reported that a man's 'breast milk' was just as good as, or better, than a woman's. millihill.substack.com/p/dear-bbc-you…
The tactics of name calling to avoid substance are familiar. As I point out in my UnHerd piece, polling shows trans people are who have suffered from these tactics as practiced by those who claim to represent them.
@RobBurl Fair play for going out of your way to persecute a powerless group of marginalised people by spreading conspiracy theories about them, Rob. Many people would have too much self-respect to do something like that just for a bit of money - but you're different.
@I_Am_Victim Yeah I mean my piece refers to me doing the story in 2014 but yes, you seem reasonable, I’m sure you can mount an argument that that was too late too. You are obviously demonstrating how much of a fake I am rather brilliantly
Yeah, I’m so late to the party. This is from 2018: x.com/robburl/status…
“The trans madness was worse than I thought because (1) I worked in woke media my entire career and either had the perceptual powers of an amoeba, or (2) I was always onboard with it and am now simply trying to generate attention,” clarifies @RobBurl
📣 New from @gordonrayner ‘BBC director-general under pressure to free corporation from trans ‘capture’’ He’s been urged to ‘weed out transactivists’..’Senior managers who allowed the BBC to become a mouthpiece for trans radicals are still in place’ telegraph.co.uk/news/2026/05/2…
I investigated BBC capture by trans activists. It was worse than I thought thetimes.com/article/817e15…
Extraordinary to watch this back: a film we put out on Politics Live in 2018 which included coverage of the intimidation faced by women who protested in defiance of the aggression and who ended up winning the argument. bbc.co.uk/programmes/p06…
@BernieAryeetey I’m not usually like this, but I think time is up for slot
Liverpool today seem a long way away from the level described here by Guardiola.

“If you cut lots of jobs & lose lots of journalists with experience, there's a price to be paid... Fran Unsworth was the author of this policy .. & she says it's contributed to the problem ... she herself says that, & she devised it.” Great iv: @RobBurl 🎧podfollow.com/beebwatch
Was the BBC captured? Has impartiality been killed? Great conversation with @RobBurl – writer & ex BBC Editor of Live Political Programmes & Deputy Editor of Newsnight – about his UnHerd piece on the BBC, trans coverage, culture & due impartiality. 🎧 podfollow.com/beebwatch
