You can’t compare men’s football with women’s football. When was the last time you saw a male footballer with a degree in sports science strap up their own leg on the pitch because they knew they were about to pull a muscle but needed to carry on?
And today on the Today programme we’ll speak to a Tory MP followed by a Tory donor just before the 8am news, when our listenership is at its peak. Textbook.

Important point from the latest Private Eye - the chair of Ofcom was a Tory peer appointed by (now Reform member) Nadine Dorries.
He has joined the latest BBC bashing from the Right, appearing to endorse the Prescott dossier alleging left-wing bias.
Is he still a Conservative party member?

My review of The Fraud, Paul Holden's explosive new book
"Holden’s book shows the contempt with which senior Labour figures around Keir Starmer hold not just the left, but also truth, decency and the law."

This follows the wholly disproportionate and deeply troubling decision to designate Palestine Action - a group that posed no risk to the public - as terrorists.
I voted against that decision in Parliament and again call on the Government to immediately overturn it.

You can't joke about anything anymore. Because you signed a multi figure contract with the Saudi government that said they wouldn't pay you if you did.

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.
