I love them. I never tire of them. I just want more and I'm getting more. Thank you The Beatles

Mark seems sad now that he's not doing the football on the telly and he sounded sad when he was doing the football on the telly.

Rob Burley It is a masterpiece. The section on Gordon Brown has actually massively changed my perception of him. Not politically but as a person.

Man of many talents is Slot

Ron, you wrote Secret Heart and Strawberry Blonde, Speaking With the Angel, the whole of that amazing Late Bloomer record, Brandy Alexander, my God so many works of genius, I'd be here all day listing them. Thank you.

This is hideously overdue but let’s get into this Rob Burley!

Very fond of the Pet Shop Boys but lame comments about Taylor. The entire 1989 album on its own has more hooks than an angler's backpack.

And the winners of this year’s Mercury Prize . . .

My letter to the The Spectator about that grotesque article by the grotesque misogynist:
'A sorry tale
Sir: I’ve spent years investigating prostitution worldwide to test the idea of it being a career choice. I’ve conducted interviews in more than 40 countries and interviewed

This be is a very good article from Stewart Purvis and gets to the key questions about @ofcom’s approach to partisan broadcasting

This important in discussion about the coming election because long form political interviews always took place in campaigns on BBC1 before Johnson via Cain and Cummings chickened out in 2019.

Lee Cain’s answer presumably is to avoid difficult interviews but only let on you won’t do them after your opponent does. Interesting to hear Katy Searle on the interview that wasn’t with Boris Johnson and Andrew Neil - she was head of Westminster. Lots more on that saga in my book.

It’s good to say “I don’t know” but “lines to take” spoon fed by press officer is infantilising for politicians. People hate the guarded and impenetrable way politicians speak. Alas, those who control comms in political parties are too invested in keeping control to change it.

Jeez, all the mad,
paranoid hits.

If only Twiki were running political programmes. Makes it sound like a cinch. There’s literally a chapter devoted to the anatomy of the Boris no-show in my book. I had access to messages sent by senior Lab figures who trusted me to tell the true story. Just read it and shut up.
