Just watched the iealondon debate. A stellar performance as usual Helen.
But my favourite part of the whole thing is you saying “pass me the red would you” 😂😂😂

Thank you so much for promoting Al Jazeera during your podcasts going back months - I have found their coverage of the Isreal / Palestine conflict the most balanced of any news outlet. I’m grateful to you.
@holland_tom Did you spend too much time in Newcastle / Northumbria during your recent trip that the thought of gracing is with your presence gives you a nose bleed?? Howay man! 😂

Please bring out a “The Rest is Politics” book à la the rest is history. Start with history as far as we can on our fair isle. & as we approach modernity, include significant global political movements. And each provide right & left viewpoints
@XanderArmstrong could you please play the opening score to the original witches film by Stanley Myers? I don’t think I’ve heard it on @ClassicFM before!
