PR by day, band by night. human to a cockerpoo, hail from london but found way to essex-on-sea. Woke and proud remainer, and away from X and trying to find the good in human beings.
Chris Philp completely making up his own figures on BBC Radio 4 Today right now despite this.

The Assembly on ITV is one of the best programmes made in the last ten years. The neuro diverse team make the best and most profound interviewers.

Very strange #BBCTodayProgramme Nick Robinson and Rebecca Vardy joking about the weather in Myanmar for second day in a row. You're there to report on the death and suffering or thousands of people, not make idle chit chat about the weather.

Anyone know why a digital tax for the likes of Amazon, Google etc has never happened in the UK? It could raise money to help support our high streets, disabled and all the things that are being cut at the moment.

Completely agree. As a media professional myself I was aghast for the whole hour thinking who at ailing Thames Water thought this was a good idea. Drowning in slow motion would have been my headline 😉

Why on earth were cameras invited inside this huge, hated company known for pumping sewage into our waterways? Customers can see the horrors of a dreadful situation they’re paying the price for

Visiting Birmingham University yesterday it's shocking. Bin bags split open and litter strewn around. Birmingham litter is epidemic at best of times. Could this be a tipping point...no pun intended? www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

Great interviewing from Wilfred Frost @skynewsrss.bsky.social here. Not letting James Cartridge get away with dissemination. Need more of this from our news presenters in 2025.

Left X yesterday after 12 years. Some disinformation. Musk doesn't cover smells, it makes them worse. Just need our tax funded institutions to get off it now.

Nice to see Minette Batters on BBC Radio 4 Today given endless non-challenging warm bath questions. No challenge back on her figures. Farmers can generally pass on nearly £3m or out their farms in trust to their children, have 10 years to pay. Need to research your stuff BBC.
