Cressida Dick working for Palantir raises the same concerns I’ve expressed about Tom Watson. What does a company gain when it recruits a former Labour deputy leader or a former Metropolitan Police commissioner? Their experience, yes. But also their contacts, influence and the authority associated with the offices they held. This ‘revolving door’ corrodes confidence in politics, public service generally and in institutions such as the police. Read more here: thebureauinvestigates.com/st… @TBIJ

Yes. Absolutely.
Did the BBC devote too much airtime - and too many resources - to the US midterm elections? And is this an example of a bias towards all things American on the part of BBC News? Join us on Saturday at 07.45 on BBC1 @BBCBreakfast or 15.45 on the News Channel. Also on @BBCiPlayer

Medieval bestiaries were full of dragons and unicorns. My Darwinian bestiary needs no mythical beasts – reality is stranger: colour-changing octopuses, harpoon-armed sea anemones, maze-solving slime moulds, and microscopic radiolarians. 42 Tales from Life is out today!

The first 19 articles in the Guardian are about the US midterm election. Our media need replacing with one not obsessed with America.
