Unedifying to hear Simon Jack on #BBCRadio4Today kissing the backside of tax exile billionaire (Sir) Jim Ratcliffe, prompting the spewing out of his half-baked prejudices. Absolutely no challenge from the limp interviewer. The BBC's famous "balance" exposed as a massive sham.

Is this news? More than 6 hot drinks increases the risk of cancer #BBCRadio4Today. The scientist involved says it’s 1% more likely 😏. The tea makers advise to make it at above 90 degrees then let it cool before drinking. Even I can’t drink tea or coffee at boiling point. Who doesn’t cool it down?

At last Asher-Smith gets her Laurels on this morning's #BBCRadio4Today. To hear the lauding of Amy Hunt you would think Asher-Smith had never won a medal before far from now being the most decorated athlete in European sprinting history. Well done, Dina.

Smart plan, given that Treasury Secretary Bessent literally told the world that on Friday.

Absolutely agree. It's everywhere, on tv, radio and in print. See also the tendency for the #BBCRadio4Today programme presenters to have a discussion about news items mid-programme, as if they were making a podcast.
Unprofessional and open to bias.

Harriet Harman said on #BBCRadio4Today yesterday that there is nothing between the three of them and, unfortunately, she is right. Labour, right now, needs a Mamdani. If they don't have one they're finished anyway.
