Managed 27 mins of #r4today and switched just in time to catch the birdsong on r3, much to the cats’ confusion.

Inspired by Thatcher, Japan's PM-in-waiting Takaichi smashes glass ceiling Sanae Takaichi came out top in a male-dominated race to lead Japan's ruling party on Saturday, putting her on course to emulate her hero, former British leader Margaret Thatcher, and become her country's first female prime minister.

I started looking for my nan among the pensioners. She would have been the one muttering ‘That the fashion?’

This morning we lasted as far as the weather report on #r4today before switching. And that’s only because I was busy typing something about Korean grammar.

How come BBC science presenternators have to travel to the Italian coast to look at microscopic wiggly things?

They never say “I’ve come to Canvey Island to study the origins of the human brain, where Prof Derek’s team are poking tiny wiggly things with sticks…”

The man who can't stop opening disastrous London cinemas Preston Benson received millions of pounds in public funds to help revive London's high streets with a chain of cinemas stretching from Ealing to Catford, and Sidcup to Sutton. What keeps going wrong?

One man opened a series of cinemas in abandoned London buildings (from Catford to Ealing, from Sidcup to Sutton) as part of a plan to revive the capital’s high streets. Politicians love the idea and provided millions to help. So why do they keep going bust? www.londoncentric.media/p/preston-be...

Is there any room at Thamesmead? And will it be more investment tower blocks that aren’t designed to be actually lived in?

You know things are getting bad when the British state can't even manage to jail an Irish man on trumped up political charges any more.

It’s still around that figure. Which is three bottles of very pleasant Languedoc. Or a bottle of damn fine locally brewed sake.
