Why didn't all previous presidents think of just randomly shrieking ultimatums at enemies? Donald thinks all those guys were chumps.

British businesses have to follow EU rules anyway but we no longer have any say in what they are. #bbcaq

The National Insurance contributions were cut under the Tory Government. Any rise should be seen in that context. #bbcaq

One of the key challenges for Hospitality is the lack of spending power in young people. #bbcaq

Not forgetting the shit that they wrote about the Valley Parade fire. Disappointing that Bradford didn't treat the S*n the same way as Liveerpool did.

The area around the Bushehr nuclear power plant has been attacked today for the fourth time during the current war... www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cm... The International Atomic Energy Agency... has expressed "deep concern". www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cm...

Before voting for Reform UK Ltd. think about what they intend to do to your NHS. They want to change it to an insurance based health service on the US model. You will have loss adjusters deciding your treatment, not your doctor. Unnecessary death and bankruptcy to follow.

Just a deeply unpleasant man.

When Trump 'goes' the problem doesn't disappear-If you read the wise words of @driftglass.bsky.social you will see that he has chronicled the decline of the GOP into authoritarianism and amorality for decades-Long before The Toddler reached The White House. #r4today

I think the American crew member should be treated fairly as a prisoner of war if they are captured. However does Pete Hegseth believe that the Iranians should adopt an attitude of 'no quarter, no mercy for our enemy' if they manage to detain this person? edition.cnn.com/2026/03/18/u... #r4today

Millions of people huddled in Iranian buildings, on Lebanese streets, versus one member of US aircrew. Who is of higher tactical value? Who will get more coverage today? #R4Today

Still not mentioning that the bridge was bombed twice. #r4today

We face the crisis of the climate emergency but the BBC doesn't seem to think it fit that the presenters of the flagship news programme of the BBC have basic knowledge of this matter. How are presenters recruited? How about getting people in place who know some science. #r4today

The editors and presenters of #r4today still don't seem to understand the science of the climate emergency. They devote huge resources and time to every nuance of what the right-wing press deem important but seem utterly clueless about the issue of the age.

Quite rightly #r4today are concerned about the safety of the downed American crew member but what about all those in Lebanon and beyond who are lost to their families and friends-Don't they count? Don't they matter?

Well, Mr Webb? #r4today

I wouldn't take expensive advice from Jim Messina www.ft.com/content/479a... I suppose Justin Webb lauds him because he comes from the same centre-right land that Mr Webb thinks is the only place to be. #Americast

Jim Messina is a political hack for hire who helped get David Cameron elected and then advised on strategy for Cameron's 'Remain' campaign-That went well didn't it? www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... However Justin Webb hangs on his every word as though it is gospel. #Americast

I'm a life-long atheist but wish all those who believe in some ethereal 'power' well during this holiday season. I find though that those shouting the loudest about how much they believe tend to be the ones who are least Christian in nature and action. www.ibtimes.co.uk/donald-trump...

The climate emergency continues-But the editors and presenters of #r4today seem to place much more importance around covering what their right-wing friends in the overwhelmingly right-wing UK press say about trivia than they do about the issue of the age.

“He’s not a war hero. He is a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.” -- President Donald J Trump, July 18, 2015

When Trump is gone Farage will claim that he 'never really agreed with him' in the full knowledge that presenters of #r4today #wato and #bbcpm will never hold him to account. They treat him as an entertainer rather than a politician.

Be educated about America with someone who knows what she is talking about www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLyD... Compare and contrast with the current crop at #Americast who are prepared to normalise the corruption and amorality of the Trump regime.

When poor people have to cut back it is a 'necessary readjustment in these hard times'. When rich people miss out on jetting out on yet another foreign holiday it is a 'crisis' for #r4today editors and presenters.

The UK has relied on food imports since at least Napoleonic times. Unfortunately, the Brexiters were so busy obsessing over blue passports and the tax cuts they never stopped to work that one out.

If presenters of #r4today think ordinary people don't deserve pay rises I suggest they give up their own savings, move into social housing and try to live on the minimum wage for a year (while presenting the show of course). I suggest that might bring 'different perspectives' to light.

A classic example of things regarding austerity is how #r4today normalised the use of food banks for the working poor. Would that have been the case if friends of Justin Webb, Amol Rajan and Nick Robinson had been going hungry?

Perhaps if #r4today editors and presenters moved in social circles of those affected by austerity they would understand its long-term effects. However they seem clueless about what has gone on since 2010 and how that has damaged so many aspects of life for ordinary people.

The current presenters on #r4today are not up to the task. Lacking any scientific background or knowledge they appear unable or unwilling to be able to question guests about the issue of the age-The climate emergency. Or perhaps they are simply more concerned about keeping their lucrative jobs.

If the presenters of #r4today thought that Mr Farage would damage their economic prospects (and those of their rich right-wing friends) I have little doubt that he would get a pasting on the show. But like with Mr Johnson before him they play the game of 'He's just an entertainer!'-Pathetic stuff.

Keir Starmer has told Nigel Farage to sack his housing spokesman after he described the Grenfell Tower fire as a "tragedy" but that "everyone dies in the end" www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Why aren't the crew of #Americast speculating if Trump's words and actions are due to him suffering from cognitive decline? Justin Webb in particular did that over and over again during the latter stages of the Biden presidency.

When you can commit murder and steal land with impunity you know that the government is morally bankrupt www.ms.now/all-in/watch... #r4today

The US has hit 11,000 military targets in Iran since 28 February. Including this one. There might be a report one day. #R4Today

Right. And not just military but security ramifications too. It’s insane - so a typical Trump proposal. Unclear if UK US cooperation could remain intact. But it would almost certainly clear the way for Putin to do as he pleases - especially with all that renewed oil & gas cash

The people of Iran, who Trump pretended to care about so much in January, apparently belong back in the stone age. So he's casually proposing to destroy their power stations, oil infrastructure and desalination plants. And Iran will follow suit around the Gulf. War crimes all round. #R4Today

I can’t get over how disgusted I am by this Have a policy critique of the building safety regulator, fine But comments like this Who even are these people And they may soon be running the housing service for 40% of my constituents

It doesn't matter what extremist gibberish Trump comes out with-We know that Justin Webb will attempt to clean it up and normalise it www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... #Americast

Another patriotic front page from the British Daily Mail who continue to back a deranged foreign despot who is desperate to drag the UK into a disastrous war launched for his own self serving reasons that is bringing an horrific economic crisis our way

UK citizens held in UAE over allegations they shared images of the conflict with Iran are annoyed that our govt not able to help much. Sorry, but you chose to live under a strict Islamic dictatorship to avoid taxes & then complain when it affects you. 🤷‍♀️ www.theguardian.com/world/2026/a...

The US has hit 11,000 military targets in Iran since 28 February. Including this one. #BBCPM

Since Justin Webb has been concerned about 'cancel culture' for years I presume he will feature this terrible example of it on #Americast and #r4today www.politico.com/news/magazin...

If Trump is indeed in the early stages of dementia it could very well be that he is hallucinating talks with imaginary Iranian leaders-How about #Americast and other BBC shows engaging in some journalism and investigating if this is the case?

The Trump presidency is the first Schrödinger one-You have to understand that the Toddler in Chief is both for and against every decision and issue. Nobody can know in advance which way Trump will move as it is all entirely linked to random events and not to any rational thought. #Americast #bbcpm
