Agreed. It grates when gov. Minsters must follow the party line. When long-term politicians stop trying to climb the greasy pole, they often treated as wise statesmen / women who can be listened to. The BBC frequently goes back to the people that Johnson kicked out the party for views. #r4today

Nothing wrong with 20mph. Set your limiter to 21, you're fine.
And once you're used to it, it's really not that difficult to get out of the habit of speeding and ignoring the aggressive plonkers behind you.

President Trump needs to finally realise he is being played for a fool by putin and ramp up US sanctions on the russian war criminal.

Discussion on accents and Sheena Easton changing her Scottish accent.
When I came to Leicester from Swansea no-one could understand me. I got chucked out of a shop because they didn't understand me and didn't like my clothes.
So I can confirm, accent bias is a thing.

Fairly clear that main reason many journos are so hung up by early release of #budget2025 it took away their chance to weasel snippets of gossip and have their "look at me" moment. Sadly, the substantive content of the budget, good or bad, is not their main focus. #politicslive #wato
Watched BBC 6 o clock news. Just a completely unserious broadcast. Chris Mason, acting like a children's entertainer, giving a prolonged impenetrable editorial. Not a whiff of informative content about the Budget or what it means for the country. Just playschool blah blah bollocks.

I am sorry that you were censored but imho you gave the best Reith lecture I have heard - even better than Southgate's. Very useful comments re how MAGA cooperate with other groups even where not in total agreement. Left constantly pettifog amongst themselves & rarely get power. #r4today
I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

We need proportional representation, proper limits on party expenditures and plurality of ownership of ALL media forms - max 5% controlled by one person/group. Maybe then we could call ourselves a democracy. HoL and monarchy can wait! #bbcaq #bbcpm
