Question for @thenewsagents.co.uk on Friday 4th. Is Lewis as pissed as he was last week, wanging on about English counties?

I spotted this and thought of you. A little light homework for you @mrjamesob.bsky.social Perhaps you could read these so we don't have to. ? www.facebook.com/share/v/17nF...
Just watching Rachel Reeves on @channel4news.bsky.social . She relaxed a little at the end, but really needs some media training for a 121 interview. She spent the first 3 minutes spouting sound-bites as if on a stage, instead of engaging with the interviewer. This undermined her message.
Hey @mrjamesob.bsky.social Just thinking about tomorrow's show. Given King Charles is going ahead with his visit to USA, can listeners come up with the perfect 30 second speech for Charles to deliver as his keynote. ? (30 secs only, no interruptions from you) Cheers Chris in Dorking.
@mrjamesob.bsky.social Once again, poor media management by Labour. Better= "Of course Andy is ambitious to get back into the national fray, and he has every right to be; but we all know how essential the Manchester Mayor job is, and he agrees it would be an unnecessary distraction right now"

1/ In Davos, @caolanrob.bsky.social tried to ask Steve Witkoff about his ties to Russia. Witkoff ran away - & is now in Moscow. @bylinetimes.bsky.social has detailed Witkoff's financial dealings with a man at the heart of Putin's mafia state. Why are so few other journalists digging into this?
Oh. Sadly, Nigel Farridge is "under the weather" and unable to be questioned by @bbclaurak.bsky.social about his links to Russian funding, or asked to apologise to his school-mates for being a filthy racist. Oh well, maybe next time.

If you have any doubt that Farage is the British pro-consul for Trump’s Dark Empire, read this story about the rehabilitated Putin stooge Manafort

@sarahandco.bsky.social hi Sarah. I've been thinking about your post about the freehold purchase. - It's what my wife does. I'm sure you're all over this, but just in case, can I recommend: 1 - get a local RICS registered valuer to do the freehold value calculation (just the freehold, ....
@mrjamesob.bsky.social Hi James, Not sure when your Christmas hols are, but looking forward to the New Year: 2026. On 3rd Jan 1946, William Joyce became the last civilian hanged for Treason at HMP Wandsworth. 80 years later, Let's hope Farridge experiences an equivalent fate. (Chris from Dorking)

Farage trotting out wall to wall Kremlin talking points. Note also Farage is fronting a gold bullion dealer and a dodgy cryptocurrency. Both help keep the Kremlin afloat. Then there's his EU expenses scandal, how he arranges his financial affairs, his connections, favours given and favours owed.

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage. www.thetimes.com/article/1b15...
