Keir Starmer came over extremely well (imho) on BBCR3 ‘Private Passions’. A decent bloke & a good dad/family man. Also very musical. Plainly full of good plans (music in schools, easier for musicians in the EU). But still just plans. Reform will be the challenge in 2028. Plans won’t defeat it.

Hollie was brilliant on this weeks #BBCR3 #PrivatePassions - her stories of the impact of her grandmother’s positive
influence on her upbringing really reminded me of my own “granny” who I still miss more than 3 decades after she passed.

*FIFTEENTH EVENING ON BBCR3 KLAXON*
It's that wonderful thing tomorrow where the 15th Evening falls on a Wednesday and a choir is chosen as tribute to plough through Psalm 78 LIVE ON THE RADIO.
The question, however, is: how long will the psalm take? Place your bets now...

Funny how none of the BBCR3 presenters on here ever has the courtesy to reply. And I know some of them.
