Q: Is hacking a website a crime? A: Yes, hacking someone's website without clear permission is a serious crime. Gaining unauthorised access, changing data, or crashing a site breaks the law, even if you do not steal or cause permanent damage. Over to you Justin. Law & Order - innit? #r4today
Maybe Mr Burnham should reconsider his ‘no’ to an early General Election. Reform are all clearly over the place and under the gaffe-free Ms Badenoch, the Tories are unsurprisingly nowhere near GE ready. No point in having a mind Mr Burnham, if you’re not prepared to change it. #r4today
Ceuta was a flash mob - I can’t believe it wasn’t orchestrated though. Great clicks for Social Media reinforcing the European Invasion trope. #r4today
FIFA & UEFA is not for profit!! Don’t make me laugh. The Infantino thing is such an obvious, and perhaps Trump influenced, negotiating ploy: Make outrageous opening offers and settle for some lesser point. What that is, who knows meanwhile it’s bad leadership/management on a Trumpian scale #r4today
Come on, wake up! The FIFA thing is such an obvious, and perhaps Trump influenced, negotiating ploy: Make an outrageous opening offer and settle for some lesser point. The payoff for Infantino will be the same - A job on the commercial arm afterwards at x10 his current compensation #r4todayn
She kept her phone after she was mugged ! Tsk!! If only she’d kept and not reported £5m from a crypto billionaire, she’d be home free now… #r4today
Savvy and cynical media manipulation gambling tactics by Reform during purdah preventing Farridge publicity. Making plans for Nigel hedged for either outcome. Victimisation on the one side or two-tier establishment stitch up on the other.Wide boys. They should be called out. #r4today
As #r4today seems keen to tell us Reform UK weren't invited to the care home discussions and they don't have a spokesperson on the topic, maybe we should guess what their plans would be. www.theguardian.com/politics/202... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... #r4today
Reform council’s plan to shut eight care homes ‘a betrayal of local people’
Announcement after proposed sale falls through prompts backlash and union says more than 200 jobs at risk

Land scarcity, planning policy, access to credit and accumulated wealth helps explain why that young lad can’t bring a girlfriend home. The youth need to be more politically active in challenging the status quo. I fear they’ve been conditioned not to be. By whom? Guess… #r4today
Now that Mr Farridge has been de-platformed it seems that Reform are finding other, more creative means to get their publicity. Putting forward the reform MP for Ozempic South with cloying tones around freedom of speech, or not, may be one such tactic. #r4today
10 minutes on Donald Trump and a flow of questioning that would make Alan Partridge proud. I seem to recall Robin Day and Brian Walden being a teeny weeny bit more incisive than the over promoted Laura. Go on; “What’s your favourite colour?” #panorama
Just say “However, it became "self-aware" and decided human beings were a threat to its existence” Or are we in ‘Don’t look up’ territory #r4today
A person I know on GLP-1 medication who is managing obesity and an eating disorder has found, by their own admission, that increasing their dosage affects their personality. “I’m not the same person” they say. Seemingly affects the reward receptors. Nothing ever comes for free… #r4today
One of Northern Europe’s richest places Inner London has world class public transport systems. That’s no coincidence. Prosperity and transport reinforce each other. If world class public transport is essential for our richest communities, why should we accept anything less for our poorest? #r4today
The Bear@bearlypolitics.co.uk · 2w agoThis could very well be the most important story in politics for the last decade and a half. Please read and share this equally harrowing and illuminating account by @carolecadwalla.bsky.social of just how dark the money in politics pit really goes. Absolutely mind blowing.
Seen a few people saying rough sleeping policy isn’t aimed at median public concern. Quite apart from any policy/moral imperative it really is - rough sleeping comes up time again in focus groups as one of the most visible signs of Broken Britain and community decline!
I think Mr Nolan’s studio has a very good marketing team around him. There always some ‘innovation’ around his film making that differentiates his movies from the all other ones - which gets bums on seats. Clever really, as it also helps excuse any shortcomings in the movie proper. #r4today
Some people (me) often wonder if Jesus was actually a real person at all, or if he just evolved into a mythological fabrication. I’m surprised that #r4today didn’t both side that question.
When I was last in BA, which is a fabulous city btw, we drove past a massive roadside monument in memory of the Falkland /Las Malvinas conflict. It’s very much still in the consciousness however the people don’t hold a grudge. They’re too busy trying to get on with life - which is tough #r4today
I thought the best person to go on Laura Kuenssberg to defend me against charges of financial irregularity would be Nadhim Zahawi, who claimed £6,000 to heat his stables and hid £27m in an offshore account then threatened to sue anyone who asked about it.
www.theguardian.com/politics/202... If Sian Astley’s logic is that non-Reform voters should house “migrant rapists”, then Reform voters should logically volunteer to house every migrant they agree isn’t a rapist. Funny how collective responsibility is only ever for someone else. #bbcpm
Greater Manchester candidate says non-Reform voters should house ‘migrant rapists’
Sian Astley doubles down on stance that ‘people who vote for open borders should house criminals and rapists who enter UK’

If Ann Widdecombe really did enquire why a pregnant prisoner in the early stages of labour wasn’t handcuffed to her bed then she deserves no eulogy. If she didn’t then she should just be remembered as that eccentric and socially conservative loon with some quite nasty and repugnant views. #wato
Farage on Widdecombe: Voters loved her. A relatively minor exxample of the propagandist's use of a simple rhetorical trope - "some voters loved her (my voters loved her)" means "all voters loved her". #R4Today
Rent controls may freeze rents for existing tenants but over the long term there is usually upward pressure on rents if it’s not accompanied by an increase in housing supply. A welcome, but populist short term fix which doesn’t solve the underlying problem of supply. #r4today
My message to the people of Clacton: vote first, fact-check later. By the time the facts arrive, they’ll be “fake news”. Remember, he knows that psychologically it’s much easier to sell you the lie than for you to accept that you were wrong by believing it (it’s called belief perseverance) #r4today
