We’re not in a good place on #BBC charter renewal. The funding looks like it will still be inadequate. The BBC hasn’t set out its ambitions clearly enough, and the government has been too slow. Full discussion with Roger Bolton on his latest podcast. shows.acast.com/rogerboltons...

BBC’s coverage of Reform’s welfare plans is frankly bizarre. Headlines in Ten, leading on some radio networks. Reform are not even the official opposition and the plans have less credibility than Count Binface. Will BBC News do the same for Lib Dem and Greens policy two years out from an election?

A wonderful first night of the Proms ranging from Ravel to Wonderwall. Radio 3’s controller Sam Jackson is right to celebrate the diversity of the music; the season’s spread across the UK; and the fact that only the #BBC can do this.

A sensible and informed piece; I am not sure that the trend to podcast-friendly radio and television and the effort on making podcasts and clippable broadcasting serves the wider listenership and viewership.

Thanks, Sarah. I treat everything with a fair degree of scepticism, I promise, but the social worker’s report does seem compassionate and well-articulated. I’m pleased, like me, you ended up happy.

Journalists, very much including me, love leadership contests for their political drama. But the public are less keen, and the damage to the country is increasingly obvious. spectator.com/article/does...

Does the Labour leadership race really matter?

Journalists might usefully ask themselves a question of the Labour leadership contest: “Does this really matter?”

I think the public do care about schools and hospitals and the environment and all the rest? Whereas I suspect they are markedly less interested in who might lead a political party a few years from now.
