“It is pretty disgusting to put the blame on autism, a condition managed by over 700,000 people each year in this country without groping or embarrassing the people they work with.” @TrevorPTweets gives his reaction to the BBC firing Greg Wallace. #TimesRadio
I love this! Well done to @husainhusaini for taking over Early Breakfast on @TimesRadio - and trying something new. We could all learn from this. And, in true Husain style, he's made an item out of it. Everything is content. And I'm very glad that he DIDN'T call in sick...!
Counselling psychologist Dr Vincent Graff joins Husain Husaini, presenting for the first time, to discuss what happens to your brain when trying new things. "My guess is the reason you were a bit worried about how it went today, is because it matters to you." @husainhusaini
“It’s Reform who will be punching the air…It’s anyone but the Labour Party.” The How to Win team react to the government’s plans to lower the voting age to 16. @Dannythefink @pollymackenzie @patrickkmaguire 🗳️ How To Win An Election 🎧 pod.fo/e/2fda1e
"The only opportunities ever for extremists in Britain, come when governments fail to address a legitimate problem." Farage and Reform are not "getting into bed" with the far-right but are offering an answer to "legitimate concerns", says The Times's Fraser Nelson.
Fabulous letter from the great Deborah Moggach in today’s Times.
Times Radio delivers a quality of interview that you’d struggle to find elsewhere - and gets better all the time. Stephen Sackur, the latest to join, is a great example.
The Ukrainian MP Oleksiy Goncharenko came on @TimesRadio to discuss Zelensky. This is the most critical I have ever heard a Ukrainian politician be about the President, who he thinks now has a messiah complex.
We talked a bit about Ozzy Osbourne today on the radio. I keep thinking how amazing it was he could be that ill and still able to perform the final gig. What a monstrously large heart. (And, as I said, he was the greatest cultural export from the West Midlands since Shakespeare).
"They're very supportive of myself." Red Bull has sacked Christian Horner. Last month, the former CEO and team principal was asked by Times Radio’s @JPonpolitics about his working relationship with Red Bull. #TimesRadio
My ‘Glastonbury’ monologue on Times Radio today. More tomorrow 1pm @TimesRadio ‘Death, death to the IDF’ shouted moronic rapper Pascal Robinson-Foster at the Glastonbury music festival. A posh double-barrel name is perhaps not the best handle for a self-styled Rasta radical. So…
"I was going to say that they sometimes seem to have more in common with the Nuremburg rally, but even the Nazis didn’t say 'death to the Jews.'" Andrew Neil rips into Bob Vylan's Glastonbury set. #TimesRadio | @afneil
A Muslim & a Jew walk into a festival… Not doing my show on @TimesRadio as am currently busy in the middle of a large field having a great time with @lucianaberger. Fair to say our collective tent skills need some work #Glastonbury2025
🎾 Good morning! Early breakfast @timesradio is live from the most famous queue at Wimbledon! ⏰ When to arrive to see the best tennis? (The day before) 🍓 Meet the farmers growing all the berries 📷 How cameras have replaced linesmen 💷 Biggest prize money 🪧 Protests planned
“It's not good enough simply to say on screen that this is dodgy language.” The BBC “made a mistake” in its response to Bob Vylan leading a ‘death to IDF’ chant at Glastonbury, says minister @Jacqui_Smith1. @KateEMcCann | #TimesRadio
We’re five! A big stretch/hands in the air for @TimesRadio’s birthday. We’re on air with lots on the agenda on Breakfast today, pop in and give us a try 📻
Coming up on @TimesRadio Breakfast: Glastonbury - where free speech, hate speech, the national broadcaster come together in a bit of a mess. Plus five years of our station, how has the country changed for the better or worse? Plus, live from Wimbledon queue, AI job apocalypse etc
We were so glad too you were there @AasmahMir
Congratulations to @timesradio. A great place to work, good friends, lovely listeners. I’m glad I was there ❤️
Former prime minister @RishiSunak sends Times Radio a message to wish us a happy 5th birthday ⬇️
Five years ago today I presented radio for the very first time when my mic went live on this new thing called Times Radio. We went on to make some great radio, and some greater friends, who I miss enormously. 🎂 all round to @StigAbell @timlevell and the team
Happy 5th birthday to my absolute pride and joy, @TimesRadio - the only radio station to fulfil the dream of 11-year-old Calum: to make a living from being on the radio. The biggest brains spotted an opportunity in UK radio, and have smashed it ever since. It makes me so proud to…
