Our fathers and grandfathers would not believe that they fought in World War II only for Europe to have to contemplate “appeasement” again - this time of its closest ally, America. We really are in a new age.

Jeremy Bowen really is an outstanding broadcaster. He's a reminder that public service broadcasting can be objective and impartial without needing to be balanced - indeed that balance makes objectivity impossible. I imagine they'll get rid of him soon.

I'd recommend the discussion at 02:10:30 between John and Amy Hunt, the Queen and Theresa May, on the murder of Carol, Hannah and Louise Hunt.
It's a breathtaking insight into misogyny, violence against women, and finding a way to live through unspeakable loss.

I hope Kemi Badenoch will listen, and reflect on whether this was an appropriate response to the issue of violence against women and girls.

Whole fucking thing makes me sick to my stomach. An abject fucking liar, a man who lies as easily as he fucking breathes, threatening an organisation which strives for truthfulness. And plastic patriots like the Mail and Farage urging him on. Jackels.

People like Mone are surrounded by a coterie of fluffers whose living depends on "yes". Any "no" is an outrage. Criticism filtered. Facts blended and extruded as potato smileys. Similar to The Dictator's Dilemma, soon, they lose touch with reality.

My first time trying the Today programme in months. Within two minutes, I get Justin Webb asking "if Donald Trump has a point" when he sues media companies for unfavourable coverage. And then I switch back to Radio 6.
