Quite frankly, #bbcradio4today is a sinking ship. Emma Barnett is a total disgrace. Right-wing shill.
I really could despair at the quality of interviewing on the Today programme. Emma Barnett is a total disgrace. She just attacks Peter Kyle. Pathetic.
Corruption in plain sight and on an industrial scale. The GOP will live to regret letting the Orange Man-Baby do all of this. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
‘This is the looting of America’: Trump and Co’s extraordinary conflicts of interest in his second term
Bitcoin, internet, EVs, private dinners for hire – the list of pay-for-play and quid quo pro goes on, and on … and on

"That's all for today. Our editors were Nigel Farage and Richard Tice. Good morning. Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beeeep. #Radio4Today
England are so predictable. Usual boring rubbish; no pace in the game, no guile.
I find it funny that Daniel Levy never, ever, sacks himself from a role to which, based on recent history, he is eminently unsuited.
Donny TACO has fallen out with Elon big time. Prepare for pyrotechnics.
Joe Root is amazing. There were THREE players who failed to score and ONE who only got TWO; yet Root, with 166 not out carried the team to victory.
My sources tell me that SpaceX's next rocket is to be named Karma.
Man of the people, Nigel Farage, seems to believe that working class men, in a working men's club, watch Channel 4 Racing. That will be a surprise to ITVRacing, who have been covering horse racing since 2017. Who wrote his speech?
I cannot understand why the Tories and Reform believe that Brexit has been sold down the river. Sovereignty and being rule-takers is pure straw-man sophistry. The deal will be good for growth and good for young people. Perhaps Nigel will tell us what he is specifically against? Maybe not.
Opening remarks by PM Starmer: "Moving on from stale old debates, looking forward, not backwards, focusing on what we can do together to deliver in the national interest. That is what today is all about. We are agreeing a new strategic partnership fit for our times." ~AA #UKEUSummit
VAR isn't the problem. The problem is the truly inept set of referees that monitor the system. Henderson should have been sent off. He deliberately handled the ball outside of the area, which is a red-card offence on its own, never mind him stopping a clear goal-scoring opportunity.
It will be interesting to find out what the Precariat feel about Trumpgeld.
Musk, Bezos and Zuckerberg are making a huge strategic mistake in championing Trump. The USA isn't a plutocracy and Trump has a date-stamp on his forehead. People aren't stupid: a backlash is coming.
The rise in my water bill from Yorkshire Water has wiped out my entire increase in state pension. This is on top of my council tax increase. Happy Days.
The Pope has died; may God grant him rest and peace in eternal life.
To add to this, offer me the same position in 17th April 2026 and I’ll bite your hand off. Any other argument is just football being stupid.
Jonno 🏴@jonnojohnson.me · last yr.Haha @knoxharrington.bsky.social brilliant bodying of the reporter on Sky this morning.
I rather think that ignoring a Supreme Court ruling when they have voted 9-0 on an issue, will backfire on the Orange Felon.
Dear @theguardian.com I have now cancelled my subscription seeing as you are either too incompetent or too bone idle to sort out my issue. Your loss.
Seeing as @theguardian.com are pestering me to subscribe when I already do, I have decided to cancel my subscription and they can then pester me for not being a subscriber. Saves me money and makes perfect sense, in a Kafkaesque kind of way.
Trump and his mates are manipulating the stock market. Simples.
Trump is a mercantilist: plain and simple. He thinks trade is a zero-sum game. Adam Smith is spinning in his grave.
One cheer - many more if Mone gets nicked.
Good Law Project@goodlawproject.org · last yr.💣 NEW 💣 Today, we can reveal that the director of Luxe Lifestyle – a firm that bagged a £25.7m PPE contract during Covid, when it had zero employees and a huge debt – has been arrested. We’ve been pushing for this for five years. goodlawproject.org/vip-lane-arr...
