It wasn't just the mention of CCHQ which was inaccurate in that election episode of #Rivals s2. @mattchorley.bsky.social has excellent political nerdery on the many many ways it was wrong: mattchorley.substack.com/p/what-rival...

Oh no I had a lot of fun! Was interviewing people for R4’s Broadcasting House, about cost of living, politics and the heatwave. Then I had an ice cream…

This week's episode of War Movie Theatre is our most popular yet. Join me and Matt Chorley as we discuss why Dad's Army has lasted, why Captain Mainwaring really is a hero, and why Arthur Lowe had a trousers clause in his contract. pod.fo/e/37e11d

Hi Mark, sorry I missed this. I’m not attacking anyone. Not my job. But if you think the Tories were never the subject of criticism, mockery or leadership speculation, including on my shows/columns, you weren’t paying attention

Tony, my show has a range of views on it, and yesterday’s discussion came from two long-serving political journalists drawing on years of experience covering Westminster. What you’ve linked to was written by someone who openly describes themselves as “active in politics, in the Labour Party”

My surname is a source of great pride for me. I know it can be a mouthful, and it isn't the easiest to spell. I was even advised by some senior politicians to shorten it. However as I told @mattchorley.bsky.social earlier - that was simply never an option. #HolocaustMemorialDay

We’re going to have to respectfully disagree on this. Some people like Tory voices, some don’t. We have a responsibility to provide a range of voices, and the experience of people who have been in government can be useful as part of the mix. Have a good evening

Matt Chorley @mattchorley.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

There is nothing wrong at all with holding guests to account while also being polite and human, and producing a show which is informative and entertaining to listen to. That’s true of politicians of all parties. Reform, Tory, Labour, Lib Dem, Green, SNP, Plaid all come on the show

Matt Chorley @mattchorley.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

Across broadcasters there can been an issue with getting shadow cabinet/frontbench on (and numbers mean there aren’t many non-frontbench). So to get Conservative voices it sometimes requires some former MPs/ministers (who actually might have experience of the briefs in government)

Matt Chorley @mattchorley.bsky.social · 23/01/2025

He is a former education secretary who introduced many of the academy reforms which are changed by the new bill. Tbh I speak to far more “formers” than currents. Always happy to have shadow cabinet - not through lack of asking

Nice to disagree agreeably (though we probably don’t disagree much).

Matt Chorley @mattchorley.bsky.social · 13/01/2025

I’m going to gently disagree on this one. It is a live conversation in government about what to do about gilts/borrowing/spending cuts. Some wonder aloud (privately) if a change of chancellor would make any difference, tho most conclude it wouldn’t. Exploring that is a service to our listeners
