“There are many joined up models for audio and online which could have been thriving by now in capable hands”. David is, as ever, rigorously thorough and insightful. Misguided BBC leadership, Ofcom missing in action, and where are DCMS/govt?

When a man makes time to support a major cancer charity and is attacked for it , it is fairly clear to see the complete lack of empathy and compassion there would be from a Tory Government. Andy Burnham torn apart over Gogglebox appearance by Kemi Badenoch express.co.uk/news/politics/…

We were told resources would be available in times of need. We’re getting a regional programme, not local programming. Stations like Radio Cumbria need their own dedicated service. Terrible.

The man who missed 77 consecutive votes in Parliament over the course of almost three months is now complaining about teachers potentially working four day weeks (with kids still receiving five days of schooling)
Nigel Farage
@Nigel_FarageOct 23
Labour’s latest half-baked scheme is a truly dreadful idea. How can you expect kids to turn up on time and work hard if their teachers are only present 4 days a week? It's frankly insulting to pupils and parents. Reform will fight this at every turn.

Cat check: When Farage was an MEP his attendance and voting record was 748th out of 751. He was paid £90,000 a year for the role.

We have some sad news to bring you this evening - our former presenter and commentator, Steve Roberts, has passed away at the age of 75 For over 30 years, Steve covered many sports, including rugby league and presented the legendary Try Time programme alongside Ray French and Allan Rooney Not only was he a brilliant broadcaster and a consummate pro, he was a great friend to many Our thoughts and best wishes go out to Steve's family and friends
