"I’d always seen the darkness in his work, but taken it for granted that whatever had been blended up to produce tales interwoven with sexual violence came from a place of compassion. That you could trust him.". On Neil Gaiman, the idol of my adolescence.

Hello @ClassicFM! My husband claims he is on your 1998 Christmas Carols recording as the soloist in "In The Bleak Midwinter". It doesn't seem available to stream anywhere online. Any chance you could provide a recording and help solve the mystery of if he's making it all up. ?.

I disagree - I think it made her look all over the place. She could have pressed him on the small business owner struggling with the NI hike. Instead she switched to the 4-day week, implying she's more interested in culture war fights than in engaging with voter concerns.
I think Badenoch's strategy of keeping Starmer off balance by mixing up questions is working, as evidenced by the number of times he reverts to the boilerplate line about his Tory inheritance. But she needs to improve her delivery. Too many stumbles.
