WOW! "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert" has just dropped its first response to ABC, FCC chair, and Disney firing Jimmy Kimmel.
Donald Trump is gonna have a meltdown tonight! 😂
This is a Must-Watch! 🔥
I hardly post but so sad to hear of the passing of The Vivienne. Was fortunate to meet them because I had a friend touring in The Wizard of Oz and had drinks with some of the cast a few times. It is a very sad loss. RIP James x
Don't be sad @Nigel_Farage it's a great 2025 start knowing @elonmusk has seen right through you. You want fame at any cost you don't give a shit about our country. I'm not a fan at all of #ElonMusk but it's the first sensible thing he's said on X .
So sorry to hear of the passing of @IBYNigel, a stalwart of pantomime. I was fortunate to meet him twice and my friend Tony Priestly used to describe him as a ‘lovely man’. Sending my condolences to @andrewryanactor. xx

🚨 Mondelez (@MDLZ), maker of @Oreo and @CadburyUK operates in Russia despite severe anti-LGBT laws, contradicting their diversity values. Demand they cease operations and support LGBT rights. Sign the petition to hold them accountable! ✊🏳️🌈 a.allout.org/s/Oz0yg/
The BBC are finally getting Saturday Nights right. Add The Basil Brush show early evening again and then I’ve got a new talent show format ready. Hopefully this time I won’t have the idea re-worked and broadcast by another channel again for the fourth time!
Pls share. The new PPI?
HUGE announcement from @theFCA this morning that has gone totally under the radar. It may mean a pay-out for millions who bought a car/van on Motor Finance before 2021.
I’ve done back of the envelope numbers and at the top end this could be PPI type scale (that was £40bn), big enough to be a form of Quantitative easing (so real consequences for the next govt as it’ll likely take a year).
It is to look at the handling of complaints about commissions when people got motor finance (pre 2021). Two big Ombudsman cases revealed today indicate that firms are falsely rejecting complaints and the FCA is now to do a full review of complaint handling.
The FCA wouldn’t do this unless it was likely to find they were doing it wrong. So my suspicion is when it finishes its investigation it will (in order of likelihood) set up either
a) A redress scheme where it orders all the firms to pay redress to every effected customer even if they've not complained.
b) Redress rules where it orders them to pay out redress based on a set formula, to those that complain
The pay out would be either the interest on loans (which is big), the commission (which is big), or the whole loan (which is huge). We're possibly talking thousands back for many.
Clearly this means getting complaints in if you were mis-sold is going to be crucial especially if they choose scheme b) and there is a cut off involved.
It should be noted part of the announcement is the FCA has put a freeze on firms handling complaints for now, so if you complain now they don’t have to do anything, but my provisional thoughts are it is worth people who think they’ve been mis-sold getting in a complaint now as a marker.
So my team and I will be working on a full guide on how to do that which we’ll have out in the next couple of weeks to talk you through this step-by-step. Please watch this space and share with people who may have been impacted.
What an honour to have a drink with @ngtheatreschool, Alex Bourne & Dave after the after-show tonight with my mate Alan, who plays trumpet. The show is sensational, the best Christmas at the Empire for twenty years.
