Julian Cope presents Head Heritage

The shortage of credible commentators in the media who are to the left of Copper and Burnham is really noticeable at the moment. It was always the case but Blair's policies didn't point that up. There's Owen Jones and er ..... that's it. Even the New Statesman is skeptical and seems from its podcast to be staffed entirely by over-educated continuity apparatchiks with too much time on their hands and way too keen to be seen to be in the game of popular culture.

James O'Brien on LBC has softened the last week after killing Corbyn on air day after day. Syria seems to have opened his eyes. He still has the second best show on radio after the genius of the Livingstone / Mellor two-hander on Saturday mornings.

The BBC would probably have a show called A Right Pair of Hunts featuring Tristram and Jeremy. In fact I am going to suggest it if Alan Partridge didn't already get there first.
