On World Radio Day, I’m reminded of my first day at the BBC Radio newsroom in 1966. An ageing subeditor told me, ‘Get out of radio and into television as quick as you can. Radio’s a dying medium.’ 60 years later, how wrong he was…

Is it not obvious to everyone by now that Trump is acting on Putin's orders, and that this is a form or treachery towards the United States ?

Dementia can make it tough to talk about the future. As the condition progresses, people with dementia are likely to need support. This could include having someone who can help manage their finances, arrange care or make medical decisions on their behalf. It can be difficult

This week in Reform; Farage disagrees with work/life balance, wants to scrap WFH. Braverman thinks workers have had too many rights for too long & its the bosses turn. And Goodwin wants to speak to “young girls” about reproducing? Considering voting for them? You’re an idiot

Today, the Trump administration repealed the endangerment finding: the ruling that served as the basis for limits on tailpipe emissions and power plant rules. Without it, we’ll be less safe, less healthy and less able to fight climate change — all so the fossil fuel industry can

@Sacha_Lord @lepdavidnowell @afneil As for Rayner, she's got some gall complaining about the pressures businesses are facing considering Labour has increased them through its legislative agenda - including things that weren't in its manifesto and for which it has no voter mandate 🤦♂️

@SuellaBraverman oh dear. Suella showing her “talent” again. I wanted to derogate from Article 5 (rights of liberty) and Article 8 as the French had done after the terrorist attacks . Not article 3.

@RobbieLammas @Marie32123495 It was meant to go down 📉 with DOGE… Just like Brexit was meant to make everything cheaper…instead that too went up… Notice the pattern.

Is @Nigel_Farage right to say that "If we take the word ("colonised") out Ratcliffe is accurate & right"? As I point out to him on this week's Political Thinking Sir Jim got his facts wrong & so did Farage when defending him. Ratcliffe claimed the UK population had increased
"There are communities in our country who think we should adapt to their way of life" Reform leader Nigel Farage speaks to @bbcnickrobinson about Sir Jim Ratcliffe's comments on immigration to the UK Listen to #PoliticalThinking in full on @BBCSounds 🎧 https://t.co/LaLF9ylezH

@afneil If you watch the whole speech, Rayner, along with Burnham, asked for a reduction in Hospitality vat to bring us in line with Europe…and a reduction in Business Rates. All Trade Bodies have been asking for this. It would save businesses, jobs and help the High St.

We already face the highest tax on a Great British holiday - we are also the only country in EU that doesn’t have a lower VAT rate for hospitality if the government is serious about tackling the cost of living the last thing they should do is add another tax on working families.
