It’s been a difficult day. And sometimes Radio 3 is EXACTLY what you need in such circumstances. Some fantastic stuff just hitting it right over the past half hour. Real variety.

Today was a very sad day as we said goodbye to the best dog any family could ask for. Boo was beautiful and funny and loyal and caring and gentle till the very end. For just over twelve years we walked side by side. We shall miss her.

Genuinely eye-opening (to me, anyway) thread.
And, guess what, it’s not jury trial that causes the shameful delays.

Here is a list of reasons why some of my hearings and trials this year have been delayed and kicked off into the long grass, stuck in our record court backlog. Serious allegations which will now be tried *years* after the event. 🧵👇

Is it the original recipe for neeps and tatties? Or Irn (age) Bru?
I'm going with either the Ark of the Covenant or a Betamax VCR.

Could Starmer watch a video on his phone with volume on full blast, no headphones, on a train, next please?
If you want some good news this morning, I showed my three boys the PM doing the six/seven thing and now they have all stopped doing it.

This is an unspooling thread of total joy. A slug of forgotten comedy history.
The brilliant female clowns of silent cinema. This might be the most ALIVE thing you’ll see all day.

Since we are once again dealing with "the only silent era comedians of note were men" I feel I need to stand up for the ladies.

I know who Nus Ghani MP is - not because we always agree - but because she’s been serving her constituency (as well as lewks) since 2015.
Who the hell is Lucy White?!
Ah, a quick google search reveals her as a rentagob for GB ‘news.’
I know which one is qualified to chair the budget debate.

Yes. Possibly.
True but if they'd taken the time to discuss and explain, maybe he wouldn't be quite so pissed off.

I’m 56. Not quite as old as Farage, but not so far behind. I remember stuff happening at school. Some of it like it was yesterday. Him suggesting people can’t remember accurately is simply bullshit.

Considering buying a heated blanket for my elderly mum, who feels the cold while watching TV. I really hope this is a mistake. That's the power of 150 one-bar electric fires.

Weird (slightly embarrassing?) when WATO or Today reports on “viral internet trends” that are months old.
This week it’s the Whitney Houston drum beat.

Disgusting attempt by Reform’s Tim Montgomery to cast aspersions on Dr Andy Field, the ex Dulwich student who spoke with R4 World At One today about witnessing Nigel Farage’s vile teenage racism. How low Montgomery has fallen, now a craven maker of excuses for racism of the most hateful sort.
