Government? 'Confusing... Disgraceful...Bloody joke.'

Sunak? 'Not had his chance yet...Doesn't need the money...Show us how big your balls are.'

Starmer? 'Stop being so slimy...Get a charisma'

📻10am on Times Radio

Historywoman Matt Chorley on Times Radio did 'FMQs Unpacked' for first time today - usually just PMQs. Good to see Holyrood coming under a bit closer scrutiny, hopefully eventually a bit of lampooning. Where The Times leads perhaps others will follow. (He commented on the wordiness.)

Matt Chorley I agree with Clegg. The one this week with interview with Hunt in the summer was 🔥🔥🔥.
Him actually saying cuts to NHS affected services and social care was a 'silent killer' should be used by Labour to attack Hunt/Sunak

Matt Chorley Nice try 'BRIAN'

I agree with Clegg

Matt Chorley In every general election, if a bar of 80% voter turnout is achieved the country has an extra bank holiday on the day of the election for the lifetime of that parliament called 'Democracy Day'. Everyone nudges friends and family to vote, centre ground wins and the fringes lose.

🎧 New episode - Books to live by with Mariella Frostrup!

Mariella chats to George the Poet about the books that have shaped him from Malcom Gladwell to JK Rowling. 📖

Michael has had an astonishing career - and is great fun. There to see Thatcher at the ballet on the night she was deposed, and to see ceasefire in arab-israeli war.

And a proper hack. Went for quick work lunch last week, and he suggested oysters and chablis.

“There is a Tory premium now on mortgages”

1st foreign trip I went on as a journalist (to Afghanistan, Feb 2002) I was lucky enough to go with legendary Times corr Michael Binyon. Very kind and generous with his knowledge to a young hack. Love listening to him talking about his 50 years in the business with Matt Chorley
