The latest reported annual salary for Jeremy Vine is in the £310,000–£314,999 range for the 2024–25 BBC pay period Now let me think VFM Jeremy Vine v a Consultant Doctor? And how long does it take to qualify? What qualifications? See the problem?

Jeremy Vine & Daytime on 5@jeremyandstormon5.bsky.social · 6d ago

Are consultant doctors being greedy by planning to strike? They earn, on average, more than £140k a year. But they are planning to strike over pay for two days next month. Patients are being forced to cancel appointments and operations. Do you think consultants deserve more?

So, #tommyrobinson has been found guilty today of harassing two Daily Mail journalists, causing fear of violence. As someone who has been on the receiving end of such harassment, I've got something to say.

I just think that risking your life at a moment's notice to save people you've never met in exchange for no money is a better expression of patriotism than dressing up like a Poundshop paramilitary and intimidating families with kids trying to get onto a ferry.

So much more than a Country Music Superstar. Philanthropist, humanitarian, defender of diversity & fierce advocate for the working class, she helped fund the Moderna Covid vaccine & donated 332+ million books to children. Thank you, Dolly. We will always love you.♥️ #RIP

My kids and their friends know Dolly Parton because she’s the person who sends books out to everyone in the post and that’s just really nice isn’t it.

I enjoyed writing this one.

My book is out in paperback next week. If you want to understand how the media works (and what’s going wrong) it’s the book for you. Samira Ahmed said it’s “brimming with intelligence, energy, ethics and impeccable research." geni.us/BreakingMicW...

This is on X I’m afraid but worth the read, long as it is, especially the part where he names the main culprits. 🔥

I was supposed to be in Odesa this weekend. Instead, today I was at the Shuk charity fair in Kyiv. War changes our plans all the time. My new Sunday Letter is about how we adapt without letting war take over our lives. For members: www.patreon.com/strategywoma...

As Britain swelters through another heatwave, few people will have heard that ministers have quietly dropped plans for solar carports. Cars cooler in summer. Shelter from the rain in winter. Clean electricity all year round. A missed opportunity?

One of russia’s key goals in this war is to destroy Ukrainian national identity. They haven’t succeeded. And they won’t. That is why a discussion about how Ukraine presents its culture to the world was the main reason I went to Bouquet Kyiv Stage, a High Art Festival, today.

In the wake of Arday's death, Nathan Cofnas (who led the X mob against him) states his motivation. Beyond whistleblowing, he states that after a 'revolution' removes professors like Arday, it will open opportunities for him to become 'head of the department of eugenics and race science at Harvard'.

Jason Arday being found dead is a horrendous way for the story to end. Elements of the press and wider media are who were relentless in their pursuit won’t stop for a moment to consider how brutal that attention was.

I don’t think there’s ever been a clearer example of the British media bullying someone, who was so clearly vulnerable, to death so shamelessly in my lifetime for engagement and clicks And now we’ll have to watch the people that did it claim they’re shocked, and horrified Revolting

I believe Clacton deserves an MP who will spend their time shining a light on everything the area has to offer. And why wait till I'm elected? I've been to visit one of the constituency's most stunning landmarks.
