@bbcradio4.bsky.social On this morning’s Today programme the Chancellor Rachel Reeves was called the ‘Iron Lady’, comparing her to Margaret Thatcher. This is sexist. Why not compare her performance to other chancellors as you would a man?

‘Wordle Bot’ must be AI generated as at times it makes no sense at all. “Although ….. left only one possible solution some of this was luck: If the solution had been ….., there still would have been three words to choose from. But you’ve narrowed it down to one. “

I’m going to have to stop buying @data.ft.com weekend as the book reviews are too enticing and costing me a fortune. The Red Emperor by Michael Sheridan is already winging its way to join my fireside stack.

Nigel Farage paid £189,000 for part-time job as ‘brand ambassador’ for gold bullion firm. Working class hero & man of the people .. not quite, just another rich old elitist & bigoted old racist. In the bin dinosaur, you're nothing but a big fraud. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Coffee drinkers reap health boost – but only if they do it in the morning - The Guardian. feeling very smug, ESC research results show if you only drink coffee in the morning you live longer. What it doesn’t say if there is any effect of changing to decaf coffee in afternoon, which is what I do. 🤔

Couldn’t British Prime Ministers do this when they leave office rather than award gongs? With the rate the UK has gotten through PMs recently it might even help to alleviate the over crowded prison system www.nytimes.com/2024/12/12/u...

Reading between Gregg Wallace’s infamous lines is the assumption that he believes that, working class women think his behaviour is acceptable. Would any working class women out there like to comment?

Gregg Wallace said on social media apparently that complainants are all white middle class women of certain age. If complaining about sexual innuendo, inappropriate touching that many of my age put up with in working lives saves future generations of women from having to do so, then complain away!
