    It’s pronounced “ask” not “arksed”. Look at the spelling.

    Repeated use of “in and around” making up phrases like “twists and tirls”

    There are so many excellent, insightful pundits out there - let’s promote talent

    When will the BBC stop dumbing down?

    Far too opinionated for a presenter. Too pally with every pundit, incredibly cringe.
