The Government refused to offer a member to be interviewed on his programme - prime time national radio. They offered a back bench MP who Eddie Mair refused saying that they might as well have offered Engelbert Humpeldink and he then proceeded to play ‘Please Release Me’. It really cheered me up ?

I'm not a rabid right winger and I enjoy listening to Ferrari!
I enjoy listening to different opinions.
Not everyone wants an echo chamber.
He's a talented journo, same as Shelagh.

Ooohhhh no he’s arrogant patronising public school far too chummy with many of the Ministers he interviews eg had the pleasure of meeting your wonderful children last time I was at your house etc. He also almost giggled with BJ when he talked about spaffing money on historic child abuse cases and agreed with JRM in his arrogant up himself way about the awful comment the latter made about how the Grenfell Towers people died because they had no common sense but he and Nick would have behaved differently. Nasty nasty man. I also listen to a range of opinions but prefer Ian Dale who is more measured, incredibly polite and prepared to change his mind. So I do listen sometimes but it’s generally an accident

Oh no Suzie it's our first disagreement!
I just find Ferrari quite amusing (I'm shallow like that!)
I find Iain a bit dull, but he does seem a very nice chap.
I like it when he does the election all nighters with our Shee. grin

Can’t stand the two Andrews so there?

I just might have a soft spot for arrogant, over opinionated ***!

(I know that I'm in the wrong here - a liking for big mouthed,privately educated right wingers is in no way the hill that I am prepared to die on!)
grin Sorry!

I can just about stomach Mildred,
but can't stand Castle.
He is talent free.
While we're at - Stadlenshock
Thank Christ he's gone.

I had a soft spot for Stadlen - especially when his marriage broke up. I follow him ( and SF and JOB) on Twitter. He is a wonderful photographer

SF on top form again with an item on prisoners’ families who have not been able to have prison visits since March. Superb journalism and not pandering to populism.

Don’t worry you’ll get over it?

Yep I ll survive ?

Fogarty's name is spelled Shelagh, the Irish way.
When Stadlen's wife left him, I found it very creepy the way he talked about her. In fact, he talked about her in a very strange way before she left.
He's definitely got some demons.
