I was honoured to attend Pat Karney's funeral service this morning at The Hidden Gem. Touching words from Andy Burnham, Graham Stringer, Pat's nephew Danny and Monsignor Canon Anthony Kay. Manchester is really going to miss you. RIP, Pat. manchestereveningnews.co.uk/…

“You and Yours is one of Radio 4’s heritage titles. It is loved by audiences and has solid listening figures, which have increased since Covid...The BBC has been inundated with thousands of messages protesting the loss of this specialist consumer programme."

The NUJ BBC Audio chapel said: “The BBC’s decision to cut You and Yours alongside other much-loved TV and radio programmes utterly undermines the BBC’s core mission to ‘act in the public interest’ and provide ‘high-quality and distinctive output.’” nuj.org.uk/resource/bbc-cuts…
BBC cuts to radio undermine Charter mission and harm audiences, says NUJ

BBC cuts to radio undermine Charter mission and harm audiences, says NUJ

The NUJ said it is “alarmed” by news of further cuts across BBC Radio and warned that following through would undermine the broadcaster’s core mission and harm audiences.

Been a tough day for the You and Yours team. We are very proud to make this programme and are devastated by the news. Thanks for all the kind messages from our listeners. They mean a lot 💜

Always been proud to work for You and Yours. I’d say it’s a pretty good example of public service journalism but what do I know bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cmly…

My report from today - I think I clocked about 7,000 steps walking around the Etihad

It's the news that many Man City fans knew was coming - but that won't have made it any easier to hear. After years of anticipation, and anxiety, the streets around the Etihad Stadium, perhaps understandably on a Friday afternoon during the international break, was mostly deserted apart from seagulls, a few tourists and joggers doing laps of the stadium. "It's usually full of City fans around here," said one woman as she walked past with her daughter. "Where are they all? I think it's shame."

Per a note to Boston Globe staff today, the lesbian bar story generated 1,000 subscriptions to the paper yesterday. The Globe’s managing editor said it was “by far our best performing story of the year,” and appears to be “on pace to shatter all sorts of Globe records.”

What would have been the best 3rd film for this pseudo trilogy? I'd lean towards The Three Musketeers or Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
