Already missing HARDtalk and @stephensackur.bsky.social, one of the best prepared and well read journalists ever. No sucking up to the big and powerful. Especially in these daring times we'd need more of this clarity, not less. Hope to see some kind of continuation on a new platform. #iconsLiveOn

@stephensackur.bsky.social Just watching tonight's/this morning's HARDtalk and still feeling furious as a licence payer that the show has been cancelled. More than ever, we need journalists holding power to account. Looking forward to your next venture and sending best wishes.

@stephensackur.bsky.social "I don’t think at the very senior levels of the #BBC there is an awareness of just how big a show #HARDtalk is around the world.” So many of us, still shaking our heads in disbelief ... www.theguardian.com/media/2025/m...

Just a reminder of the fall of the BBC and the Tory lightweight journalists it now prefers - at the same time as ditching their mighty flagship HardTalk programme and the great @stephensackur.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/media/2025/m...

It’s true, Trump often gets what gets what he wants, but I have a hunch the Scandinavians in charge of the Nobel Peace Prize aren’t going to be looking in his direction anytime soon… On the upside, there’s always Russia’s highest honour, the Order of St Andrew the Apostle…

I’m in Delhi to do a series of @BBCHARDtalk interviews which should give clues to India’s political direction in Modi’s third term. BJP Minister, former Chief Justice and Chief Minister of Jammu and Kashmir all coming up! And time to visit some of my favourite Delhi places…
