BBC WS reaches more than 300 million people weekly and is a great service. Good to see increase but important to note, as highlighted in this piece, that UK government used to fund service in entirety until 2014. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Government-run podcasts dressed up as “just conversations” are still propaganda. Good read from @DomGibraltar in @GibChronicle about it. This @GibraltarGov Podcast cannot replace role of traditional media, which is to question and challenge, not just nod along.

There will be people who think this is deeply unfair, but it can’t be avoided anymore. You cannot do politics like this now - going on the radio or TV and using a clever form of words to avoid saying the thing you think will end your career. It doesn’t work and it hasn’t worked for a long time. The career-ending thing isn’t saying “I broke that promise and I’m sorry, but here’s why I really think it’s the right thing to do…” It is repeatedly saying you did it without holding up your hands; in the process treating your audience like they’re daft and eroding trust so much that nobody listens to your actual argument. Why would you get a hearing for what you believe is right if you can’t show enough respect to admit your choice broke a promise? No parent would accept that kind of apology from a child; why do some of our politicians still think voters should accept it from them? Trust people to give you a hearing and they’ll listen even when you admit mistakes - maybe even more then, because it is human.
