My album of the year: ‘Drones’ by Workhouse Disko. Almost nothing happens. It’s like an evening sky, a desert at dawn, the smell of fresh laundry, or floating out on a boat on a bay and waking up to the roar of a helicopter over your head, miles from land.

For all this celebration of Jane Austen, I rarely hear mention of how Darcy, or any of her wealthy protagonists, made their money. #r4today

Excellent news that the government will make it illegal to resell a concert ticket for higher than the original price. Why not apply this to housing? A landlord cannot charge more rent than the property costs to buy. #bbcwato

My great grandfather was born before the Wright brothers first flight - when he died humans had walked on the Moon. He lived through two World Wars. Life changed fast for him - it didn’t make him a racist. #r4today

The Office for Budget Responsibility says we lose 4% in growth due to Brexit. That’s £110 billion. Why do people still think Farage is the answer?

In a pub, talked to a Reform councillor. I try be civil. He says he just wants to represent local people - but scratching below the surface he reveals he thinks climate change is a scam and migrants are forming an army. He denies scientific evidence for the former, but believes his own skewed truth.

The most privileged (including Farage, Tice etc) often pay less tax, as a percentage, than most of us - it’s a huge injustice - but there’s rarely any noise about this.

‘the sort of thing George Osborne did well,’ says Richard Tice. Now we know - a Reform government would be a rerun of Tory austerity. As they see the reality of government coming into focus, so we can see - Reform have no new ideas. #r4today
