I am absolutely delighted to see @BBCFreeThinking returning to @BBCRadio4. I still miss its R3 version & it won’t coax me away from Friday night junk TV like Rings of Power🙂. But with eg @annemcelvoy & @DrMatthewSweet, it will remain unmissable radio

Prof Tom Simpson on @BBCFreeThinking, discussing global instability. "Actors are challenging the US-led order established after Bretton Woods. The Russian invasion of Ukraine tests American power, and others may seek to capitalise on this shift."
