Last nights election Question Time programme was probably the best of the campaign in that it gave space for proper discussion while making all the leaders uncomfortable.  None of the four men questioned over the two hour programme – Rishi Sunak, Keir Starmer, Ed Davey and John Swinney – did badly. There were some good revelatory comments, but Fiona Bruce's questioning exposed each leaders key weakness. Did anyone manage to shift the dial?  Oscar Edmondson speaks to Isabel Hardman and Katy Balls.  Produced by Oscar Edmondson. 

Jacqui and Grant reunite as Iain holidays in Aberdeen with Fiona Bruce. They discuss Keir Starmer's 'first steps', Rishi Sunak's warning of a dangerous world, suspension from the Commons at arrest rather than charge, the fallout from Natalie Elphicke's defection, Baroness Hazarika getting a cheeky message from Gordon Brown and loads more besides. Smut quota: Middling in the main!

Roger Mosey, former editorial director of the BBC, head of TV news and director of sport discusses the handling of the Gary Lineker and Fiona Bruce controversies, the BBC board and its vision and the leaked emails and WhatsApp messages showing BBC editors asking their journalists to avoid using the word “lockdown” in reporting at the start of the pandemic and to be more critical of Labour after pressure from Downing Street.“I was worried too.

As voting for the new leader of the SNP leader opens we look at the most recent candidates' debates and hustings and how they've been conducted.In particular we compare and contrast the style and content of the Sky debate and the STUG/National hustings.The BBC has hardly covered itself in glory this week with the Gary Lineker affair, Fiona Bruce's ill judged, to say the least, "One off"  domestic violence remark on Question Time and the missing David Attenborough episode. Is its much vaunted impartiality now forever tainted by inconsistency of application and the presence of Tories in significant senior management roles?We also examine the passage of the Tory government's Illegal Migration Bill and the myth of  Britain as a haven for refugees.All this plus our trip to Belfast for the "Imagine Belfast" festivalhttps://imaginebelfast.com/ ★ Support this podcast ★

They discuss Fiona Bruce being criticised for adding a legal disclaimer (at the behest of a producer) to a reference to Stanley Johnson's alleged domestic abuse.

Nick and Toby discuss the Jan 6th ‘insurrection' footage, the Q-Anon Shaman's treatment, the potential provocateur infiltrators and the inevitable media reaction.

In this episode, we'll be talking about the latest news surrounding the BBC. They've recently faced backlash for not airing an episode of David Attenborough's wildlife series due to fears of a right-wing backlash. Gary Lineker has also been asked to step back from his role on Match of the Day after criticising the Conservatives' small boats immigration plans. Fiona Bruce, the host of BBC's Question Time, has also been criticised for dismissing domestic abuse allegations against Boris Johnson's father as a "one-off". We discuss whether it's time to revisit the license fee rules and whether the BBC is conservative-leaning.In other news, the Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) has raised £400m to make the UK the largest charity donor to Ukraine in the world. The UK government has also match-funded £25 million of public donations to the DEC's Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal. We discuss whether you donated and what your thoughts are on the government being able to match fund.We also delve into Rishi Sunak's new legislation, which aims to stop migrants from crossing the Channel to the UK. Anyone found to have entered the country illegally would be removed from the UK within 28 days and blocked from returning or claiming British citizenship in future. Those who arrive in small boats would either be returned to their home country or another "safe third country" like Rwanda. We ask if small boats are bothering you and how we should tackle immigration.Finally, we get into dilemmas and share what has made us SAD MAD AND GLAD

Edward Snowden, one of the world's most wanted fugitives, has warned us of what is to come. And it's already here. This Reuters storey confirms that Amazon is spying on us in such detail that there is no longer any privacy in any aspect of our lives. Ibraheem Samirah, a Virginia lawmaker, has spent a lot of time studying internet privacy issues and openly discussed how to regulate tech firms' collection of personal data. Nonetheless, he was taken aback when he learned the full extent of the data Amazon.com had on him. Spain will auction off concessions to build 6,000MW of renewable energy capacity as part of this plan,with an additional €1,5bn set aside for hydrogen projects, (this amount will probably go to the chemical complex in Tarragona) . In addition, 150,000 fast-charging stations will be built to support electric vehicles. Police officers in the Catalonia region have arrested a man on suspicion of domestic abuse after his partner made the international signal for sexist violence – showing the palm of your hand, tucking in your thumb and closing your fingers – at a healthcare center. Rowdy Brits threw caution to the wind to defy the woke mob as they dressed as migrants in inflatable boats, North Korean leader Kim Jon Un and saucy nuns - all while ignoring a Covid ban - and took part in an annual costume event through the streets of Benidorm ............. Question Time panellist Nazir Afzal today backed Fiona Bruce, saying he had 'no criticism' of the host after accusing her during the show of asking him first about the cricket racism row because he is a 'brown person'.

Unconscious Racism, what is it?

In this week's episode I talk about the confident and beautiful Fiona Bruce.

Saturday saw over 100,000 supporters of Scottish independence march through Glasgow. Lesley was there and gives her impressions of what it was like out on the streets and the reflects on the continuing commitment to the cause of the grass roots movement. All of this despite brickbats from some obvious, and some surprising, sources. We both tuned into the latest edition of Question Time, featuring yet again Nigel Farage. We wonder if the shambles we witnessed was simply a show that Fiona Bruce let get out of hand or was it just the spectacle that the producers wanted. It's the 20th anniversary of the return of the Scottish Parliament and Lesley reflects on its achievements, with praise for Labour First Ministers Henry McLeish and Jack McConnell, and the new Scottish social security system. I'm not sure if this makes up for my less than complimentary remarks on Richard Leonard's European election video, or Paul Sweeney's latest podcast gaffe. We try and figure out just why the Tory Party leadership candidates all decided to chuck their hats in the ring next and pick apart the latest European election polls. Spoiler alert, bad news for Labour, but disastrous for the Tories. Sticking with the Euro elections Lesley returns to Catalonia, the plight of the jailed leader of the ERC party Oriol Junqueras, and former Catalan president Carles Puigdemont. Along the way there's also the usual badinage, and maybe a wee mention of football.  

Jacqui and Iain preview what could be one of the most momentous weeks in British politics, analyse the abuse experienced by Anna Soubry & Owen Jones, as well as cast their eye over Fiona Bruce’s debut on Question Time. They debate the merits of the Speaker’s decision to overturn parliamentary convention and apologise for the lack of innuendo in this week’s podcast.

At an epic point in the Brexit saga I reflect on the still pivotal role of T May, the less pivotal but important stance of J Corbyn, J Bercow and all MPs: Parliament might want to take us back from the cliff's edge but will the weak but obstinate May be willing to be an instrument of parliament? Can you hear her utter the words " I will negotiate Norway Plus" or "I'll call a referendum" If not-what will happen? As a bonus I watched Fiona Bruce present Question Time.

Adrian Chiles, Chris Mason and Charlie Webster react to Fiona Bruce's first programme.

In this In Conversation, Sarah and Mickey had a ruddy smashing time with Nigella Lawson, Samira Ahmed and Jodie Prenger, chatting about being a cat, the power of the BBC voice, laughing at funerals, combing cows, excellent letters to Newsround, how to talk buzzard and Roger Moore as God. This episode was recorded in front of a live audience at Leicester Square Theatre in September. That means a couple of the plugs are out of date. Obviously we know now that Fiona Bruce got the Question Time job, but we love Samira’s pitching so much it’s staying in. And Nigella’s tour is over, but there’s still loads of good stuff over on her website. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

This week’s Private Passions is pretty crowded, with Kirsty Wark, Fiona Bruce, Emily Thornberry and Theresa May all putting in appearances - in the person of Jan Ravens, from the award-winning Radio 4 show Dead Ringers. Jan’s career has been a series of firsts – she was, in 1979, the first female president of the Cambridge Footlights, and the show she directed in Edinburgh went on to win the first ever Perrier Award. She was one of the first women to appear with Jasper Carrott and on Spitting Image, and last year she made her solo Edinburgh debut with her show Difficult Woman. Jan tells Michael how her difficult childhood was transformed by writing and performing at Cambridge, about the battles she’s fought to have women equally represented on comedy shows and discusses the frequently negative perception of women in positions of power. And she demonstrates just how she got inside the voice of Theresa May. Jan’s passion isn’t just for female speaking voices but for singing voices too, and she’s chosen to hear four women singers: Maria Callas, Kathleen Ferrier, Jessye Norman and Barbara Cook. Producer: Jane Greenwood A Loftus production for BBC Radio 3

Libby Purves meets Peter Hain MP; art dealer Philip Mould; author Susie Boyt and fly fisherwoman Lilla Rowcliffe. Philip Mould is a gallery owner, international art dealer and writer who has been dealing in antiques from an early age. He started by collecting and selling 18th Century shoe buckles as a boy and moved on to deal in artwork worth tens of thousands of pounds. He co-presents BBC1's Fake or Fortune with Fiona Bruce and is a regular expert on the Antiques Roadshow. Lilla Rowcliffe is a fly fisher. Now in her eighties, she only took up the sport following the death of her husband and sister when she was in her fifties. Her first catch, in Scotland, was a 45 pound salmon, and since then, Lilla has fished around the world. She has a house close to where fly-fishing lure creator Megan Boyd lived and she features in a documentary, Kiss the Water, about Boyd's life and fly fishing. Peter Hain is the Labour MP for Neath and a former Cabinet minister whose political career spans four decades. He grew up in South Africa under Apartheid before moving to London. Peter's parents Adelaine and Walter were, and continue to be, prominent freedom-fighters.

Her memoir, My Judy Garland Life, has been adapted for the stage. It tells the story of Susie's admiration for Garland as she was growing up, and how Judy's songs helped Susie through her personal troubles. My Judy Garland Life is at The Nottingham Playhouse.
