Watching #skypapers on @SkyNewsBot and something one of them said, 'Mrs Michael Gove' [forgotten her own name, I'm afraid], reminded me of something Sophy #Ridge said a few days ago: if she ever suffered misogyny from MPs or colleagues that would be when she was a lot younger. Nobody would dare to do that to her now. They know what they'd get, and that terrifies them.

This country's treatment of disabled people is a national disgrace - my brother - double amputee; one working arm - refused PIP. Meanwhile Zahawi is so greedy that £23.3m was not enough so tried to cheat 😡 #ToryCriminals

Just caught Harry Cole on #SkyPapers. What a prick. I think working people have had quite enough of over-privileged, supercilious shits like Cole debating whether or not they should have the right to fight to protect their working conditions. They do and they will.
@Didactylos At the moment I can't think of many politics programs I watch other than Sophy #Ridge on Sunday mornings, her follow up half hour with Sam Coates, sometimes #PMQs and very little else. I'll watch #newsnight if Faisal Islam is presenting. I'll check #skypapers to see if either of the guests is interesting Used to listen to #bbcaq and Eddie Mair's show, but the former is now rubbish and Eddie has retired. Can't think of anything else at the moment.
Anna Botting is using Ken Clark to defend Rishi Sunak on strikes. But don't forget his politics and Clark's are in synch. Our PM is a notorious tax dodging billionaire who wants to ban workers refusing to work for a real terms wage cut. Most voters blame the rich for inflation, not the poor who refuse to be reduced to slave labor robots. #skypapers
Got some sleep and feeling refreshed. Switched on Sky News to find one of the endless repeats of #skypapers. I am genuinely surprised. Not only am I not angry at Kevin Maguire, but Sarah Vine is actually saying a lot of things I agree with. Anna Botting is doing her best to get them to smear the strikers, but they're not doing that. And both are fans of Mick Lynch, and both side with him on driver only trains, explaining that most voters don't want them. Quite right too.
I did check #skypapers and was appalled by the choise of guests so I won't be watching their endless repeats every half hour, at least not until tomorrow night when the guests may be less hideous. Didn't catch #bbcpapers guests today but they're probably no better. Best stick to BBCRadio6Music.
Been listening to BBCRadio6Music since 7pm. Listening to and loving Gideon Coe. But since I've hardly heard any news today I probably should check in #bbcpapers and #skypapers just in case one of the participants isn't a total arseh*le.

Checked out the start of #newsnight but can't stand Kirsty Wark. So switched to #bbcpapers. Joe Twyman was one of the guests and he's always worth listening to, and he didn't disappoint. Then switched to #skypapers. Steve Richards is on that and he's also usually got some interesting things to say.
