This programme, only 29 minutes, is a marvel. The warm & wonderful #MichaelSheen being interviewed by a group of autistic and neuro-divergent people.
Everyone in it is fantastic.
As ⁦Chris Packham⁩ would say, ‘Worth the licence fee’.

One of our finest broadcast journalists set to leave Newsnight and the BBC. It would be less of a moment if the Corporation was committed to offering audiences what Mark has done. To allow so much ability to disappear and not be replaced is to betray public service broadcasting

Still the BEST sports commentary of all-time. 😂

The treatment of #waspi women by UK Government has and continues to be a disgrace. Compensation should be paid immediately

Thoroughly well-deserved.
moversandshakerspod is a fantastic podcast

And many of those losing out from #Budget2024 are #WASPI #1950swomen on low incomes or pensions, with no opportunity taken for #FairandFastCompensation for proven Department for Work and Pensions maladministration. Presumably HM Treasury no longer needs the grey vote.
