Hello and welcome to political thinking, a conversation with rather than an interrogation of someone who shaped our political thinking about what has shaped theirs. My guest today was told that he has a reading age ofjust eight. His dyslexia was so bad he had to return to school to study in his 20s for the exams that he simply couldnt pass when he was there the first time. He is now dr peter kyle, a close ally of keir starmer s and the shadow Northern Ireland secretary, who, if labour comes to power, may find himself having to take a very important decision whether there should be another referendum about the future of the uk. This time it would be about whether Northern Ireland should leave and become reunited with the republic. Peter kyle, welcome to political thinking. Thanks, nick. I say that in the introduction that you have a reading age of eight. Really . And if so, how on earth do you do the job youve got now . Well, ive never known any difference, so i cant describe i cant com
looking at there? and nick s flipping burgers with a new friend. has anyone got ketchup? for as long as i ve been playing computer games, i ve been playing computer games about racing cars. and i ve been terrible at them all. butjust like you get elite racing car drivers, you also get elite racing car video game drivers. and ahead of this year s formula 1 e sports season, alasdair keane has been to see how some of the leading teams are getting in on the virtual action. for many people, gaming is a bit of fun, a chance to catch up with friends and even an escape from reality. but when it comes to e sports, the line between the online world and the real world are becoming increasingly blurred. this is a showroom to motor history. mclaren have been racing for 60 years. ..over that time collecting wins and trophies. but recently their success has come in the gaming arena. the pressure is immense. mentally, that s the hardest part. the results in f1 e sports can change in a litera

hello and welcome to the travel show with me, rajan datar. now, it s widely believed that the first ever museum was built more than 2,500 years ago in babylon, or modern day iraq. and now unesco reckons there are 100,000 of them throughout the world. but today, many museums are putting a lot of time and effort into thinking about how they can make their collections more engaging and more in tune with modern audiences. and that is what we re looking at in this week s show, starting here in belgium. the african museum in tervuren, just outside of brussels, is marking its 125th anniversary. and along with a range of events associated with that, the museum s taken the opportunity to reflect on its colonial past. five years ago, the museum underwent a massive renovation, removing problematic statues, changing the labelling around objects, anything that created a negative stereotype about africa. though some things couldn t be changed, like the enduring presence of the monarch who
