Janet Ellis completely misunderstanding how her pension is paid. She has not paid in. She paid for her parent’s pension Her children and their generation are now paying her pension. #triplelock #broadcastinghouse #bbcradio4

Is it possible that the Labour Govt is fed up of no media covering their govt programme so they picked a shock way to initially frame immigration, used words they later don’t use (stranger etc) to get the coverage on the actual Thing they are doing?

Wow, what a horrific typo. Right on the cover.

www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... Wow. This was such a good listen. “I’ve never met a single female gambler who wanted a bigger house. They wanted peace and for the noise to stop” stopped me in my tracks

Just heard someone say “he sounds like he spends a lot of time on Facebook” and hooo boy everyone’s immediate understanding of what that means should be a brand crisis for Meta

Nice to hear Ed Milliband on fire and on top of his brief this morning. #GBE #climatecrisis

I’d like to announce my forthcoming US history book, covering a decisive but tumultuous era in that country’s history, titled “The trade policies of the United States: 10:30 am to 1:30 pm on Friday, March 7, 2025” It will be 400 pages.

The inevitable end result of a society and economy which cruelly and maliciously discriminates against young people at all times and in all facets of their lives. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Tate brothers dress like they went to a very nice shopping stylist who slowly realised throughout the day that they are horrific pricks.

My 18yo’s #childtrustfund is just about to mature and it is just so amazing that Labour Govt actually did this 18 years ago.

Dear @radio4rne.bsky.social no one wants to hear from Nigel Farage about which side our country need to be on. He has form. And is not an authority on anything geopolitical. Ffs

#ofstead. There is an irony that the adults are complaining about an education system that gives schools a one word grade when children have been branded by one-Letter/number to grade their intelligence and potential for YEARS. Maybe what’s reductive for one is also for the other.

In towns like mine where a fishmonger, cafe and pizza place went out of business on the arrival of a new Sainsburys I think this is ok. V sad for the people whose jobs are temporarily displaced but the town still needs those services must not done crapply by a supermarket.

Why is this ‘news’ given equal standing a monarchy death, major incident or natural disaster? What qualifies EM to be listened to on his views on political party leadership? He’s a car and satellite manufacturer…. BBC. Sky. ITV. Sort it out. Do your job better.

Just about to play the best game with the neighbours. They have brought round a blood pressure machine and apparently the one with the lowest BP takes a shot. I can’t possibly condone such irresponsibility but will give it a shot and report back

It was our tiny hamlet carols last night. We walk round every house singing and gathering people as we go and end up in someone’s house to drink and eat. What you realise is how amazing village life is. There are hundreds of tiny connections of support and social stuff. /1

You can’t do quizzes whilst experiencing menopause. The complete lack of name recall is shocking. My brain told me that the first king to do a televised broadcast was a Charles. Ffs!

Nobody got rich on their own. Elizabeth Warren's observation also underpins the argument as to why it is right for the rich to say their fair share of tax.
