  1. I missed most of the interview with Peter Kyle (so probably heard exactly as much as if I'd listened intently throughout) but I did note Anna Foster afterwards claiming people knew what starmer stands for.
    Which is why, Anna, there have been 462 U-turns in the last 464 days.

  2. Good to hear on the Today programme that Road User Charging is being mooted… but it seems to have been broken via the right wing newspapers so they can have a good run to wind up resistance and prevent it from happening. “Watch this space”.

  3. On the Today programme they just said that the basic rate of income tax hasn’t changed in 50 years. It certainly felt like it did in 2008 when the 10p “starting” rate was abolished (I definitely noticed!) and probably did in 1999 when it was introduced. Disingenuous reporting, what a surprise.

  4. Ohhhh... and they were doing so well. As @BBCRadio4 #TodayProgramme celebrate Wales's women reaching the Euros for the first time, up pops that word - principality. 🤦‍♀️

  5. On #BBC4 #todayProgramme 14/10 there was a piece on the #UkraineWar about civilians evacuating their homes because of the Russian invasion. It was depressing, not just because it was an evacuation but there was the thinnest of contexts. This was the morning after more and new evidence of murdered, surrendered Ukrainian soldiers. Now 'today' there's this documentary of the Russian Army using civilians for target practice in Kherson. Owenna Griffiths Ed. please check this x.com/CaolanRob/status/1843749

  6. On #ThoughtForTheDay on the #TodayProgramme on #Radio4 this morning, with no sense of irony, they said atheists declare their position as unquestionable fact

  7. Robert Jenrick, the UK Immigration Minister on Radio 4's Today programme - what an absolute wanker.

  8. @sy yes, that is v true. It’s not just him, of course, it’s the whole system - space exploration just another step in endless imperialist extractivist expansion. It’s very apt that the dream is to “colonise” Mars. We were all taught it’s about science, technology, joint human progress - and it was talked about excitedly in exactly these terms on #TodayProgramme this morning - but we should stop buying into this. It’s only for the few, majorly polluting, and completely stupid. #SpaceX #Mars

  9. Also not impressed with the #BBC discussing #OnlineSafetyBill on #Radio4 #TodayProgramme using "Harmful Content" without examining it or noting the idea is contested.

  10. Not impressed with #Radio4 #TodayProgramme reporting on warnings of a #farming crisis without mentioning #ClimateChange or #Brexit which both seem pertinent
