    That maybe, but it would take a brave PM to reduce funding for BBC Radio (despite the obvious justification).

    LFAT, only Tories are stupid enough to stand in for Ministers who are “unavailable” (because it’s a bad news item) and then get beaten up by interviewers on “PM” or “Today”!

    Charming. Does that mean Labour are correct to avoid scrutiny and tough questioning about their policies?

    No PM could specifically “reduce funding for Radio”, Letters from a Tory. A reduction of the amount paid for TV Licence would be a good start, subsequently leaving the BBC to thin out its services.
    You’re a bit omnipresent, Letter from a Tory. Why not leave the debate to run its course rather than repeatedly offering political guidance?
