This. I'm not a BBC-basher but IMO Mason is a poor political journalist. It's not that he's 'biased' per se, it's that he reports politics as a kind of giggly spectator sport and as such is preoccupied with spectacle, talking up 'exciting' events rather than analysing them. 1/2

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,
The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance
Iconic imo

Only seen them live three times: Oct ’92 at The Fleece, Nov ’97 at the NEC with Mrs B pregnant with our daughter… and last night, with that same daughter — and our son (his favourite band). A stunning evening with the GOATs.
