@archer_rs So that's 2.5mill. What about the other £497.5mill? Presenter wages are such a red herring. You need name presenters for eyeballs, regardless of what we think of them. And you need to pay them. BBC already paying below market rate. #r4today #politicslive #BBCCuts #wato

Such is the extent of the fake news around these Dartmoor ponies, and the conspiracy theory that Natural England wants to kill them all, they aren’t even using pictures of real native Dartmoor ponies (which are chocolate brown) in the news coverage of it. independent.co.uk/voices/keir-st…

@domdyer70 @DanicaPriest “Let’s not play political football with this” he says whilst sharing graphics & petitions from the Conservative Party saying that Starmer personally wants to kill ponies.

Nobody has called for the culling of Dartmoor’s native ponies, not Natural England, not anyone. This is deliberate misinformation. Here is the real story: Dartmoor, one of our most precious landscapes, is in a truly dire ecological state, largely as a result of decades of severe overgrazing by sheep (as well as cattle, ponies and deer, but mostly by sheep). In the last ten years, trying to turn things around, the government has dished out more than £200 million of taxpayers’ cash in ‘environmental stewardship’ payments to Dartmoor graziers. During that time, nature has further declined across every single indicator. In any other field, this may be considered misuse of public money. Natural England is now saying that Dartmoor graziers must limit overgrazing if they are to continue receiving public money for good stewardship. This can be translated as far fewer sheep in the national park. There’s no suggestion anywhere of culling Dartmoor’s native ponies. It is not unreasonable for those receiving buckets of public money in return to restore Dartmoor to a good state of nature. That’s all. Here’s the full lowdown from Natural England: naturalengland.blog.gov.uk/2026/06/09/dar…

'dialling back', 'ramping up' and 'down'. What the eff are they talking about on @BBCr4today? What's wrong with 'reduce' and 'increase' or 'decrease'?

Someone please tell Lemn Sissay that Oasis did NOT unite the nation - remember dynamic ticket pricing? Hopeless and shallow analogy. @BBCr4today

The Great Dartmoor Pony Cull Conspiracy of 2026 is total horseshit, in case you’re wondering. More below, if you want.

This is total madness from another unaccountable quango. The government must overrule Natural England and stop it immediately. Keir Starmer is on his way to making his last acts in office the shameful underfunding of our military and the mass slaughter of Dartmoor ponies.
