Caitlin Moran is unbearable.

Because Jenny Murray is 70, and its time for someone younger. Jane Garvey is 56. It needs mixing up a bit. Jenny murray was too fixed in her views IMO. I was turning off when she came on. Im surprised anyone listens to her if they are under 55. Wee Queenie- you should apply?

Everyone in broadcasting is 'fixed in their views' because if you aren't, in this climate they come back later and bite you on the bum!

Julia Hartley Brewer has her head screwed on ...but I doubt if she would ever kow-tow to the BBC

Is Victoria Derbyshire any good ? I know she did some pioneering stuff on the whole vaginal mesh thing, I think its still important to have a place for womens issues. Is she too campaigny ?

I thought the job of a good journalist was to open things up. I can still be open to ideas and change my mind, even if it takes a while..

I think Victoria will be seen as too similar to Jane Garvey. Both are of a similar age and both have that 5Live style which is expected, given both worked there. I?d go for Liz Green or another regional host but I think the BBC will think it?s best to go young and/or ethnic minority. It?s a good programme but tilts too far to affluent/academic in its content these days. You and Yours is more entertaining, useful, friendly and eye-opening and has a largely female presentation team.

    • Fair points, not arguing with you on them.  What people forget is that immigrants or low skilled workers do the jobs the home population don't want to do and without those jobs being done, things very quickly grind to a halt, i.e. hospital cleaners, all very necessary, but I'd have thought the majority are on minimum wage. And Minimum Wage (35hrs/wk) isn't exactly what I'd call minimum. Just over £21K, easily double and a bit more than what I get in monthly pension income to live off.
    • Well he couldn’t deliver anything better than a poor brexit. Because no such thing exists 
    • Fair points jazzer. But it begs the question, on what information are people basing their opinion? because if it’s x or the right wing media the of course they will believe nothing has happened but people who claim to be motivated by rising immigration numbers are either ignorant of or don’t care the those numbers have dropped significantly since Labour got in Hospital waiting lists are finally showing improvements after years of getting worse people on minimum wage are better off We haven’t had a random general election or new prime minister just months after the last one  compare that to Tory chaos Important relations with other countries (important for long term trade and growth) have improved under labour given the size of the mess they inherited it’s far better than many give credit for  and the prospect of a Badenoch and/or farage govt returning us to the chaos of last 10 years? No thanks (I could do a long list of things Labour have done wrong or badly but that’s for another thread. I did not vote for Labour, but all things considered they are a massive improvement on what came before. Unfortunately we have a bunch of far right agitators kicking off around the country because they are cry babies which gives impression country is going downhill  when it’s really not)
