The Today programme’s thousands of listeners had an amusing start to the day when James Naughtie tried to introduce “Jeremy Hunt, Culture Secretary”, and ended up calling him . . . something else. Certainly not the kind of language you expect to hear before the, er, 8am watershed.

UPDATE: Here’s Andrew Marr, repeating the mistake just a few hours later.
