Lovely, Mr Ben Jamal has got the British just perfectly.

Important to recognise that providing capital funding from programmes such as #PrideInPlace can help unlock revenue funding from other sources #LocalInfrastructure #NAVCA

Universities are not the only ones, businesses big and small, charities too. Exactly what do they think they are going to change?

Genuine question: why do you listen? Asking as an ex-listener who gave up when Rob got a brain tumour…

In Warwickshire there is Wright Hassall - also solicitors….

Thank you so much for 14 years of starting weekdays with a smile and great music. Will miss you in the mornings but will look forward to In Tune next week.

It’s a catchy headline but there are 26 Bishops in the Lords, so is it a big number or a small number? Not defending the presence of either group, just hoping for accuracy.

The interviewer gave Philp that point for him to simply agree with. Very bad interview practice - naively expected better from #wato

Each one of those tractors costs £120k plus when new, some a lot more.
