Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 9hNo one on You and Yours mentioned the quality of the food in Lidl and Aldi. Do people really not care about ultra-processed food? When will we understand that it’s not just about price? Surely what we’re actually putting into our bodies should matter as much as what it costs. 010
Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 13hThis guy is talking nonsense. On the one hand, he’s going to cut red tape; on the other, local authorities will still have planning approval. So the Tories remain the party of NIMBYs. #r4today 160
Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 23hDid nobody at Conservative Central Office watch House of Cards? #therightway #KemiBadenoch #Tories 010
Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 03/10/2026So the Reform UK criticism of Question Time goes something like this: Fiona Bruce asks Suella Braverman a difficult question. Apparently that’s unfair. Then they tell us how well Braverman answered it. Isn’t that exactly what’s supposed to happen? #BBC #QuestionTime #ReformUK 020
Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 01/10/2026So is Suella saying that being English is based on skin colour? #bbcqt 110
Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Why can’t people understand that you don’t pay into a state pension? #bbcqt 010
Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Suella has started early with her lies tonight. #bbcqt 010
Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Minutes before a representative from Reform UK was due to appear on LBC with Iain Dale, they pulled out. #LBC #runningscared 010

Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 26/09/2026The timing of the Championship extending its play-offs to 8th place is interesting. Relegate City with a huge points deduction, give them another in the Championship, and even finishing 8th could still give them a route straight back up. It could all work out to be very convenient for City. #r4today 010
Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 25/09/2026Where the hell does Sarah Elliott think additional advertising revenue will come from to support the BBC alongside other broadcasters? The woman is an absolute idiot. #BBCaq 030
Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I hope never to hear the vile Sarah Elliott on the wireless again. #bbcaq 000
Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Talking on Question Time, Helen Whately spoke of taxpayers funding people on benefits, giving them a lifestyle that taxpayers can only dream of. What planet is this woman on? And, no she wasn’t talking about penioners and the triple lock! #bbcqt 030
Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 23/09/2026Kemi Badenoch fails to acknowledge that over 50% of the welfare budget is spent on pensioners. #LBC 031
Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I’m not sure Wes Streeting loves being Secretary of State for Defence. #r4today 250
Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 22/09/2026The Reform UK guy on LBC really isn’t very bright. And by that, I mean less intelligent than the standard we have come to expect from Reform politicians. 000
Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Weird isn’t it how Tories have no memory before 2024? July 2024 in particular. #bbcaq 260
Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Kemi Badenoch: I’m going to scrap inheritance tax. Except I’m not; I’m thinking about it. But I have a plan. Andy Burnham doesn’t. I don’t have to tell you what it is because I’m not PM. If you misunderstood me, that’s your fault. I’m never wrong. #mattchorley #bbcradio5live #kemibadenoch 032
Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 16/09/2026The racist villagers of Piddington seem to have a rather inflated view of the village: no shops, no café, no pub. Why exactly do they think it would be a place of interest for anybody to go? They may be boring fucks, but not everybody is. 110
Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 10/09/2026I really don’t think a modest tourist tax in London is unreasonable. Visitors get free access to world-class museums and galleries, so even with a small levy London would still offer great value for money and remain hugely attractive to tourists. #BBCPM 060
Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Kemi Badenoch: What I said was not what you heard, and what you heard was not what I meant. If you don’t understand that, that’s your fault, not mine. I am always right. Put another way: I am never wrong. #r4today 2268
Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 10/09/2026Channel 4 was originally set up to show programmes that wouldn’t be shown anywhere else. #r4today 230

Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 08/09/2026@kezdugdale.bsky.social good to hear you talking with sense and compassion this morning on Times Radio. 021
Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 06/09/2026Farage admits that even his family wanted him to walk away from politics. So, that seems to prove that even his family don’t support him. #bbcLauraK 010
Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 06/09/2026I feel sorry for #bbcLauraK pre-recording the Nigel Farage interview at the Reform UK conference, it must have stunk of piss.  020
Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 06/09/2026“If there were an election tomorrow, how would you vote?” “Oh, I’m sorry, I wasn’t listening.” #bbcLauraK 020

Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Boris Johnson wasn’t born in this country and it didn’t seem to bother Bobby J as a Tory. #r4today 050
Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 05/09/2026So they’ve ‘been removed’ or they haven’t been removed? #r4today 000
Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 04/09/2026That came to a bit of an abrupt end. It was as if Farage just couldn’t be bothered. He also seems to have lost the ability to wave. He looks like a broken man, a sad figure as he turned his back on the audience and walked away. #Farage #ReformUKconference #ReformUK 110
Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 01/09/2026The Tories are saying the fall in small boat crossings is down to bad weather. Bad weather. #r4today 041
Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 29/08/2026Given Boris Johnson was both Mayor of London and an MP, it seems odd that James Cleverly has resigned from the shadow cabinet in order to try to secure the Tory nomination for London Mayor. 000
Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 28/08/2026The ‘win-at-all-costs’ mentality appears to stop with toddlers. It certainly doesn’t extend to Scottish club football, judging by last night’s European results. #r4today 040
Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Embarrassingly, for most of my adult life, I believed that lightning was, in fact, lightening. It seemed reasonable. No one ever corrected me, nor did I think to check. #r4today 010

Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Interesting how British media are reporting Prince Harry leaving the African Parks board: The Times: “removed” BBC: “stepped down” The Telegraph: “quits” The Independent: “resigned” Daily Mail: “stepped down” The Sun: “quits” The Times is the outlier: “removed” suggests it wasn’t his decision. 000
Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 21/08/2026#TimesRadio is trying to damage Angela Rayner with a story that’s been around for days. It didn’t gain much traction in print, so now it’s being pushed on broadcast. The attacks on Rayner are becoming quite breathtaking, coming just a week after the death of Jason Arday. 141

Jack Hosier @despol.bsky.social · 16/08/2026Laila Cunningham is great car-crash radio on #LBC. Stops a caller after one sentence, insisting she needs time for a longer conversation, then says, “I need to stop, that’s the music for the break.” Carries on for another two minutes before being faded down to avoid crashing the news. 020
