Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Can’t blame Tuchel for two horrendous defensive errors and a Kane penalty miss 110
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Like this will make a blind bit of difference to those voting Reform UK who were also hoodwinked by Brexit #newsnight 040
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Andrea Jenkyns says “I haven’t a clue” More self-awareness than she’s given credit for #newsnight 1110
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 12/08/2026This was such a good episode; what a good guy he seems 000
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 06/08/2026An excruciating listen wasn’t it. Worst since last interview with him on the newsagents 111
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 02/08/2026Two such charming gentlemen, what could possibly go wrong? 060
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 01/08/2026Unfortunately talk tv, in a desperate attempt to dog whistle, did 001
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 24/07/2026How much do you think he’s changed since his time in Westminster? Interesting he referred to the left as sanctimonious… 000
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 24/07/2026Ah Nick Clegg who first sold his soul to the tories and then meta *switches off* #newsnight 1133
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Gillian Keegan as sharp and insightful as ever #newsnight 160
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 22/07/2026Sam Coates will no doubt find his way of hammering this policy 010
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 21/07/2026“Soft left liberal” as long as views align with yours. Good one 000
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Thanks so much David loved this. The tribute to Kevin Keegan, particularly in the light of the US World Cup, was especially poignant 030
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Following an interview by Sky News with Blair a couple of years ago Coates described Blair as a narcissist. This may well be true but the lack of respect / deference was telling 000
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 21/07/2026Used to like Coates but seems to have become more and more outspoken and off the mark as he has gained prominence 110
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 20/07/2026The Tory on the panel aghast at labour’s temerity to change leader. The irony #newsnight 040
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Are viewers being treated to Laila Cunningham again? 010
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Non-stories from Sam Coates will keep being churned out no doubt 010
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 20/07/2026Getting a bit dull now the incessant sniping at the government by this unserious podcast 011
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Right come on Argentina, time to bring on Messi #worldcupfinal #SPAARG 000
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 18/07/2026Throwing on all those squad players against Argentina, did Thomas Tuchel think that that was the meaningless third place play off? #FRAvENG #worldcup 000
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 12/07/2026Sam Matterface and Lee Dixon for 120 mins plus drinks breaks; viewers deserve a place in the World Cup semi final after this #worldcup #NORvENG 0146
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 10/07/2026@wimbledonltc.bsky.social Why are the semi-finals not scheduled for the evening when many more people can watch? Seems particularly antiquated to have a daytime schedule where only those privileged to be there or not working can watch. Would never happen in the other grand slams #wimbledon 000
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Love your work Victoria but Cunningham seems to be on more than most of the hosts! 030
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Thanks for reply. Takes some serious mental gymnastics to appreciate a mindset where anything Yusuf said or did last night on #bbcqt added credibility. Not sure he spoke of any Reform policies either. It was hideous 220
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Zia Yusuf just absolutely awful tonight on #bbcqt 160
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 26/06/2026So Matt Goodwin and Robert Kenyon were considered superior parliamentary candidates to Zia Yusuf? Blimey #bbcqt 1203
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 23/06/2026Atkins’ modus operandi is political point scoring no matter how desperate she comes across. Embarrassing on #newsnight earlier 000
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 22/06/2026How can Victoria Atkins keep a straight face criticising Labour when her government presided over one of the darkest periods in recent UK political history #newsnight 170
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 22/06/2026All those hounding Starmer now for two years; The Newsagents, Chris Mason, Sam Coates, Beth Rigby. All have contributed to the degradation of UK politics through their sensationalist style approach to reporting. Another scalp. Utterly depressing 261
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Christopher Hope well known for asking the tough questions 000
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 30/05/2026Going back a bit but Le Tissier only ever missed one 100
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 14/05/2026If Starmer does finally go, now the show has finally moved on from its Prince Andrew obsession, what are Maitlis, Goodall, and Sopel going to talk about? 110
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 08/05/2026Matthew Syed loves the sound of his own voice. Forgot Ruth Davidson was even there #newsnight 130
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 08/05/2026I hope you’re correct but fear you may be overestimating the electorate’s willingness to scrutinise. People were conned into voting brexit yet still vote in their droves for those responsible for it 020
Mark Coates @mark-coates.bsky.social · 19/04/2026Incredible that the show compared this to Boris Johnson’s behaviour in office. This episode sounded unserious and sensationalist 000
