@ladymissbarton.bsky.social the wonderful #LegendTheBruceSpringsteenStory series discussed on #BBCR4 #Feedback today 👍👏

@evanhd.bsky.social Wallabies? #BBCR4PM yes - feral populations in South Northants and Buckinghamshire. 👍

And this: “In one area – adult social care – the researchers found that government action in the previous year had made things worse.”

How did it come to be such a dire situation for Labour? Excellent - but depressing - analysis here 👇

As someone who regularly watches and waves to #ISS I’ve loved watching #OnceUponATimeInSpace I hadn’t expected to be so moved by it. “Oh I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth.”

@ladymissbarton.bsky.social what a treat the #Legends series on #brucespringsteen has been. Warm, insightful, revealing and hopeful. So important to have a good companion for this part of the ride www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Amol Rajan opines “what a place to be as a country” commenting on economic policy #Today #Radio4. Really? Politically neutral?

#BettyBrown @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social @vicderbyshire.bsky.social 93 year old victim of #PostOfficeScandal finally getting compensation. What dignity, courage and determination. 👏”no more shenanigans.”

What? #Today #BBCradio4 interrupts the Chancellor’s speech live from Downing Street for commentary??!

@allaboutthearchers.bsky.social conversation about #BringMeSunshine for a funeral stopped me in my tracks - that was my Dad’s final farewell music 🙁🥲

The #NukedBloodScandal is one of the greatest injustices of our time. These national heroes deserve justice and compensation

Excellent Long View of History from international editor #JeremyBowen #Today BBCR4. He has seen this through the years and understands the complexity more than most #IsraelGaza

Extraordinary and wonderful to hear the fabulous voice of Richard Burton from 1984 interview with Richard Turnbull #WATO

Well, this promises to be marvellous! #Springsteen @ladymissbarton.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Stunning oratory from #SirMaxHastings on why he will be on the streets tomorrow protesting against #TrumpVisit. This is what speaking truth to power sounds like listen from 17.50 @evanhd.bsky.social 👍👏 www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Oh, I’m very sad to hear this #RobertRedford RIP www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c0...

A joy to listen to #WhereTheDistanceShimmers A Eulogy to Route 66, poetic, lyrical, nostalgic @ladymissbarton.bsky.social www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

Loving #BohemianRhapsody at #LastNightIfTheProms How has it taken this long??!

Universities merger - the shape of things to come? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

"Who do they think they are?!" A furious @andyburnham.bsky.social on the news that a Reform UK government would scrap plans to build Northern Powerhouse Rail.

@channel4tv.bsky.social “less adverts, more bake off.” Nice idea …but that’s ’fewer adverts’. Thank you 🙄😉👍

#LordChrisPatten pulling no punches on #Wato commenting on China etc and highlighting the totalitarian and sociopathic nature of Trump. This is a man who understands diplomacy and the lack of it currently being displayed by the USA. Dangerous times.

Utterly deluded. “President of Europe”??!!

Anna Foster #Today #BBCR4 interviewing someone from Reform about refugee situation. Can’t follow any argument - continual interrupting. Pointless.

Well this is significant. Water shortages leading to lock closures on Grand Union Canal #CanalAndRiverTrust www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

#VJDay80 #Kohima 80 years on from the surrender in Japan, the badge of the 14th Forgotten Army given to my 16 year old Mum in India by a returning soldier.

Blue skies smiling at me…

80% of local unpaid carer services see rising unmet need. To help overcome this, through the Department of Health and Social Care’s Accelerating Reform Fund, SCIE is helping areas innovate — like Worcestershire’s project guiding unpaid carers through hospital discharge.

Houston, we have a problem. #JimLovell dies at 97 #Apollo13. RIP www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

#GordonBrown on #Today BBCR4 - a magnificent reminder of what a grown up, principled and passionate politician can be like. And how rare that is these days.

I always enjoy @timdowling.bsky.social #OnModernLife - warm, self-deprecating, witty. But when you write about life, love and loss of fathers and in-laws, it is a gift. Thank you. 🥲 www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

#DameCleoLaine has died at 97 RIP. What a stunning voice and range over so many years. Lucky to have seen her many times at #Wavendon www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Very nice obit for the outstanding journalist #MalcomDean. I was lucky enough to know him in his advisory roles to my work and he always asked the right questions and challenged our research conclusions www.theguardian.com/media/2025/j...

Amateur broadcasting today from #WorldAtOne #BBCR4 - every time it switches to clips of audio the sound disappears from DAB. What’s going on??

Great to participate this morning in inaugural webinar of @bsgageismsig.bsky.social lots of great ideas and experience @helenaherklots.bsky.social @janeminter.bsky.social @garychristopherhq.bsky.social

“The plan has a lack of curiosity about why previous initiatives - many of them strikingly similar to what is being proposed - have failed to take off.” And that indeed says it all.

Turned off #Today on BBCR4 can’t listen to any more of the over excited repetitive waffle about Trump interview or Nick Robinson opining that the key to the president is “empathy”. I think he means ego.
