Why is the discredited CBI always R4 Today’s go to on business and employment? Their Victorian attitudes like poor business owners not being able to afford to pay a living wage always represent the Tory party more than business owners like me and those I know

Twitter more of a binfire than usual tonight with the standard theme of the most ignorant of a situation shouting the loudest - the current US political model of giving the hate-filled the environment to be openly hateful seems to be gaining traction here

R4 saying the start of the Labour gov “has been turbulent to say the least” - has it? I remember turbulent from not very long ago and it felt very different to now

Gregg Wallace taking crisis management classes from Prince Andrew?! His misogyny really shining through - as it did in his cringey “day in the life” - he really doesn’t need to keep showing us who he is

Some people are a bit giddy that they’ve learned the phrase “echo chamber” - every social group is an echo chamber

Yes and Trump’s boasts about sexual assault were just “locker room talk”. Minimising sexualised, discomfiting “bants” and behaviour enables it and creates the environment where it escalates - and where sex offenders start believing they’re the victims

Despite being a big crime fiction fan and nostalgic about years lived in Edinburgh for some unknown reason I’m only now reading Rebus. On no. 4 and what a treat to know there are a lot more to come

No one is ever surprised by the men these allegations come out about - they always have a history of creepy/discomfiting behaviour so why is this still apparently so hard to prevent
