Badenoch said it was "a judgement call" to select the neo Nazi as a Tory cllr candidate. You betcha Kemi, what judgement you have. #bbcpm

Now I've seen the AI nonsense that the "former neo Nazi" pumps out on the Crewkerne Gazette, I think I know why Badenoch is defending his selection as a Tory cllr candidate. She's a fundamentally lightweight, stupid person. #wato

Badenoch thinks local cllrs just deal with parking and bins. Jeez. #r4today

The biggest waste of police time is surely having to let Badenoch play dressing up and showing her around. #r4today

Badenoch says "they haven't shown any remorse" but as evidence says "we saw them sniggering when they were sentenced". Surely we'd need to know their attitude *since* they've served their sentence to know if they've shown remorse Kemi. #r4today

I know it's only looking at the UK activities of Epstein mates, but is the timing of this announcement difficult for Ed Miliband's first trip to the White House? #r4today

Play streets sound great until you wonder what happens to disabled people trying to drive their cars out of the street. Can't the kids use school playgrounds during the summer instead? #r4today

Sounds like whoever is responsible for anti semitism training for the police needs to get better at screening for people convicted for anti semitism. #r4today

I'm not sure it's a great move on the part of the police to allow the leader of the party that caused the prison problems leading to the need for early release to dress up as a member of the police service. #r4today

Imagine if all these tech bros and their investors concentrated their efforts and money on dealing with the problems we're facing in a sensible humane way. Dream on I suppose. #r4today

The state of this. A lovely day out for Badenoch and Philp, playing dress up and making pronouncements about early release schemes - having left the country with one hundred available men's prison places, after fourteen years in charge. You read that right. One hundred places.

99p 99s make more sense than this Reform UK bilge about getting the Navy to start a war with France. Vote Count Binface. #wato

What would happen if, after the Marines put migrants on French soil, the French then returned them to British soil? Farage and Yusuf not asked in this media conference so far.

Good of #r4today to give airtime to Reform UK. After all we need Farage re-elected so the investigation into his £5m bung can resume.

As long as we've got Zia Yusuf on the Today programme and a #r4today I don't think Michael Rosen needs to worry about adults having enough play!

If Yusuf is keen on illegal migrants being processed in France, why doesn't he advocate for the same treatment in this country too? Instead he wants the Royal Navy to break international law. Plank. #r4today

Reform UK's latest plan seems to involve starting a war with Europe. When we lose we'll be able to rejoin the EU I suppose. Sounds like a good idea. #r4today

The fact that Feargal Sharkey isn't being sued for slander by the water companies shows how right he is. #r4today

Diane Abbott is back in the Labour Party because of that old adage about tents and people passing water. #r4today

That Thames Water guy gave away their billing strategy: "we need lots of funding upfront". It's why I had to stop paying monthly on their ridiculous projections of our usage and now pay in arrears based on our actual usage. #r4today

I know people who live in Kent, Essex, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Lincolnshire who work in London. Under the devolution plans which area benefits from a share of their income tax? #r4today

Today the Polanski guillotine t-shirt story is being reported on #r4today as: - Reform UK criticises the police for not taking action, not the police have considered it and decided it wasn't a crime. - Polanski posted the item. He didn't, he re-posted it. Who decides the framing I wonder?

Drove out to Essex yesterday and saw the lovely sight of haystacks in harvested fields, but given the wildfires in fields, wondering if they should be moved. But where's safe for farmers to move them to currently? #r4today

Well done Metropolitan Police for deciding not to take action against Zack Polanski. Reform UK are always talking up crime rates in London so maybe they should be pursued for wasting police time. #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

theguardian.com

The BBC is facing pressure to apologise for reading out tweets from Nigel Farage and other unnamed "senior members of the Reform Party" on #newsnight. But #r4today chooses to have something else as its lead story, including a report from the tweet reading culprit, Nick Watt.

This item about adult children living with their parents links to the care home issue. The next generation won't be in a position to allow the family home to be sold off to pay for social care. They'll have invested in the home far more too. #r4today

At this point given the contrast between the treatment of Zack Polanski and Nigel Farage on tonight's #newsnight it must be that the BBC is checking what it takes for Lisa Nandy to do her job.

It's just not acceptable to have Nick reading out several missives from Reform UK. There's no ability to challenge them. Where's the balance BBC? #newsnight

Presumably no-one was available to appear on #newsnight because they're too busy organising the next riot.
