Strange use of the phrase, long time rival, in your headline, especially as there are far more pertinent phrases you could chosen to describe Mr Cuomo.

In a democracy the qualification is being elected. It may not be perfect as can be seen in the USA and in Clacton.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Thank you James, please do not bother to play Ms Badenoch’s speech. If I wanted to hear it I could so without it being taken up time on your show. I would just switch off if you do.

Β£1.3bn profit has been paid out by the companies who own the trains which they rent to the train operators in the UK in the last 3 years

And it isn't even paid out in the UK, no it's paid out in Luxembourg so ZERO tax and ZERO spending in the UK.

If the government wants economic growth it must bring essential industries into public ownership Successive governments clobber households and small businesses by hiking interest rates to manage inflation, but don’t inconvenience corporations.

Since privatisation England's water companies paid Β£88.4bn in dividends.

90% of water companies owned by foreign investors/govts.

90% of dividend not recirculated in the UK economy. No UK tax paid on dividends.

Public ownership would make a difference.

Ed Davey, "I'm afraid Nigel Farage should be apologising for helping cause this problem in the first place"

"Before Brexit we didn't have a small boats problem because we had 27 return agreements with EU countries and we could return people"

-Maybe we should call them Farage's Brexit Boats

The justice system backlog is delaying justice. With more than 300,000 cases waiting to be heard in the magistrates' court, we cannot afford for hundreds of people to be arrested for protesting peacefully.

When Estate Agents are more credible than journalists, the world becomes an infinitely more dangerous place.

The UK must lead on the world stage in acknowledging the genocide taking place in Gaza – and advocating for a return to diplomacy.

Can the Lib Dems escape obscurity? Ed Davey on charges that he’s not cutting through and why he’s β€œobsessed” with politically homeless Tories.

'Countless' BBC staff have told Liberal Democrat Leader Ed Davey that they agree with the party’s petition to β€œbalance the BBC" away from Farage's party (as reported by Byline Times) he says in a pre-conference interview with the NS today

How on earth do we get the BBC out of the clutches of Reform and return to be being a respected and impartial broadcaster again. Is there a way to remove the political appointees bought in by the last Government?

If the press is owned by a few rich people who are not based nor pay taxes in the country where they publish and are from one political persuasion, can it be called free?

Boycotting Trump Banquet to Call for Gaza Action
I fear we could have a situation where Trump comes to our country, is honoured with a lavish dinner at one of our finest palaces, yet no one reminds him that he has the power to stop the horrifying… Boycotting Trump Banquet to Call for Gaza Action

I'm boycotting the state banquet to send a message to both Donald Trump and Keir Starmer that they cannot close their eyes and wish away the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

Donald Trump can stop this catastrophe in Gaza and get the hostages released.

So sad! If nothing is done it could bring down the whole organisation, which maybe some in the BBC want? Especially those placed there by the last Govt?

I have trusted BBC News for 70 years, now it is a joke and seems determined to bring the country down, IT needs to reform, and stop promoting one Party, it is the national broadcaster not a political agency. #bbcnews

Trump still seems to think his job is to get President Zelenskyy to cave to Putin’s demands.

Keir Starmer must show real resolve and persuade him that it’s about strengthening Ukraine and weakening Putin so he accepts Europe’s terms.

Chinese firm a leading contender to buy Thames Water, reports say Hong Kong’s CKI among those lining up to acquire struggling company if it collapses

Chinese firm a leading contender to buy Thames Water.

90% of water already owned from abroad. Shareholders out of touch with realities.

Tax on dividends dodged.

Any private ownership will mean continuation of profits, dividends, neglect, fleecing.

Public ownership is the only way forward.

As they will always take flak from the RW media, they might just as well take the required action before it is too late. So many people not renewing licenses, further weakening the BBC, which is great news for Murdoch & Co.

Given that the Minister actually resigned, is an improvement of the last Govt, and while not perfect is an order of magnitude better. FYI I am not Labour supporter.

Exactly, what is more worrying is that the Government are allowing the people placed at the top of the BBC by the last Govt to continue to damage the credibility of their News and Current Affairs with impunity. Why?
