What do you get if you cross The Archers theme tune with Rachmaninoff? I tried...here’s the result.
Celebrating 75 years of the world’s longest-running drama (by the way, Arthur Wood composed the original Archers theme). @BBCRadio4

@VictoriaCoren Going to side with Ben on this one.
Sorry, but I have no idea who your brother is and I'm not about to Google that.
I'd add that your wonderful husband writes some of the best stuff on the telly and performs some of the best stuff, too.
Never seen traitors, not likely to either.

I see Nicola Sturgeon is once again complaining that I posted a picture of myself wearing a T-shirt with her name on it and the legend 'Destroyer of Women's Rights.' Apparently this didn't 'elevate the debate.'
Is there a clinical term for an individual who has extreme thinness of skin when it comes to their own perceived hurts, coupled with a rhino-hide when it comes to the fear and suffering of others?
I'm thinking in particular of the two women Isla Bryson raped, who had to watch their First Minister squirm and smirk on TV as she tried to avoid admitting he was a man; of the five survivors of male violence who were ready to give evidence to Sturgeon's committee on gender self-ID, but were told to put their concerns in writing while seventeen trans-identified people appeared in person; of the mother of a young girl with a learning disability who campaigned against self-ID because she wanted her daughter to be guaranteed same sex intimate care, should she need it (the mother was presumably one of those female opponents Sturgeon calls 'shrill' and 'hysterical' in her memoir); of the ten-year-old girl sexually assaulted in a public bathroom by a 6'5" paedophile who served his jail sentence in a women's prison because he called himself 'Katie'; of Sandie Peggie, forced to discuss her own menstrual history in public to justify not wanting to undress in view of a 6ft straight cross-dresser in the nurses' changing room; of Marion Millar, dragged into court because she tweeted a picture of suffragette ribbons; of the Scottish rape crisis centres reliant on government funding who were pressured to admit trans-identified males into their services if they wanted funding to continue.
When Sturgeon refers to an 'elevated debate', she means a discussion that takes place within a tiny, smug bubble from which regular women suffering real life consequences of her policies are firmly excluded. These faceless ants are loftily dismissed as bigots, or, to be more precise: 'transphobic, misogynistic, homophobic, maybe racist as well.'
Nicola, you hated the T-shirt picture because you couldn't ignore it, as you'd ignored so many other women trying to make you understand their concerns. Appeals to your empathy, your intelligence and your compassion all failed. Apparently the only way to get through to you is through your vanity.

Loved #InsideNo9stagefright. Great to hear they’re taking it on tour. But why not the South West or Wales? 😢

This teacher marks the 10th this week alone that a job centre worker has had to sign up. This isn’t just another statistic—it’s a stark reflection of the financial instability facing our educators. #TeachersOnUC #EducationCrisis

Shocked to see @thetimes publish photo of Michael Jackson’s father to mark @JoeJacksonMusic ‘s 70th birthday tomorrow. Wrong in so many ways. 😡

So frustrated that this year’s #Glastonbury app needs iOS 16; won’t work on my iPhone 6S. Can’t afford Glastonbury tickets and a new phone. 😡

@LouisStaples Both Andrew and Jaz made it clear it was Harry: Andrew with his accusation and Jaz with his choice to banish again. What was she thinking?

who hasn’t risked it all for a fuckboi with slightly greasy hair and bad grammar, who tells us everything we want to hear? We’ve all been Mollie at least once. She’s the people’s princess #TheTraitorsUK
