The "Grand" National: Don’t bet – Don’t watch – Don’t go Yesterday’s Aintree racehorse death of 'Gold Dancer' was horrific. When even dedicated racing fans question what happened, you know something’s wrong. When I dare not share the photo, I know something’s wrong. RIP #r4today

"OpenAI has trumpeted hundreds of billions in other deals and products that haven’t yet become reality" #r4today www.forbes.com/sites/phoebe...

We're in the crazy situation in which a spokesperson for the authoritarian Iranian government speaks in a way that makes their American or Israeli counterparts sound evasive & unprincipled by comparison. It's quite astounding, and a sad indictment. #r4today

The goals of this war are so "agile" that they’re being updated in real-time - mostly because someone just realised the previous ones were impossible, and we wouldn't want anyone looking inept - would we?. #r4today

The "Grand" National: We mistake a horse's obedience for a passion for racing. In reality, we are asking a flight animal to sprint toward hazards that it would naturally avoid (unless trained or following the herd), effectively stripping it of its survival instincts. #r4today

I'm starting to get the feeling that we are constantly fed a pro-Israeli government "line" without any objective discussion on what others in Israel actually think & feel about the direction they are being led. #r4today

Is it worth looking at what the Israeli opposition parties are actually saying? Their critique might go deeper than just politics, revealing fundamental disagreements on both national & regional security? #r4today

Yesterday morning there was hardly a mention of this "Israel in Lebanon" complication on #r4today btw...

Hang on a minute. The 10 point plan which Trump appears to want to work towards includes: "An end to Israeli strikes in Lebanon" The PM of ISR states ""The two-weeks ceasefire does not include Lebanon" That's quite a large difference of opinion isn't it? #r4today #bbcbreakfast

I think you'll find someone is still bombing someone - you just aired a report on it 60 seconds ago... am I living on another planet here? #r4today

I really can't believe how people cannot see how fragile this ceasefire plan is - there's one point that one party obviously sees as a "deal breaker" - if that party cannot be persuaded... then what? #r4today #bbcbreakfast

You can keep sidestepping this point or highlight other issues to draw attention away from it all you want, but this is the most important "sticking point" of 'the plan'. The rest is negotiable, however, one "side" believes that this is not. #r4today #bbcbreakfast

In the round - how does one progress a ten point plan which explicitly calls for an "end to Israeli strikes in Lebanon" when the government engaging in these strikes appears to think that this statement does not apply? #r4today #bbcbreakfast

How does one "square this circle" btw? ISR PM: "The two-weeks ceasefire does not include Lebanon" #r4today

The government has the right and a reason to string this story along... #r4today

The race for presenters to get to the end of this show is extraordinary #r4today

Given recent events - this moon mission is starting to look like the opening scenes from the original "Plant of the Apes"... #r4today

Many people are wondering: How much are we involved in this military action, and have the lines between offensive and defensive operations been gradually and deliberately blurred? #r4today

It seems the oil markets have already factored in 'Trump-psychosis' to protect themselves - which might sound like sensible advice to many... #r4today

Today is Holy Saturday - Thought For The Day - "Beware of false prophets..." "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect" "God Bless America!" #r4today

No - 'our' King should look Trump straight in the eye, in front of the world’s media, and call him out for who he truly is - except he's not our King - he's a tool. 🎵Tool Britannia! Britannia tools the knaves ... #r4today #bbcbreakfast

"Headlines today... president Trump has ..." Survival of the unfittest ... #r4today #bbcbreakfast

Emma Barnett to General Sir Richard Shirreff (NATO dep supreme commander from 2011 to 2014) : "but surely there must have been some planning - you would think that - no?" (regarding Iran blockading The Strait of Hormuz "hang on a second..." She suddenly realises who she is interviewing. #r4today

It’s well known that Trump was offered advice on the Strait of Hormuz but didn’t see it as a priority, & many believe that decision has contributed to the current situation. It’s not hard to imagine that any future operation could end up following the same flawed approach... #r4today

Why is #r4today quoting Trump? It’s clear to most he isn’t the ‘brains’ behind the operation, rather a willing participant - meant to distract from scrutiny at home - a description that could also apply to the leader of another nation? In 'other' news - an Epstein file update...

Ongoing "discussions" - this may take some time... #r4today #bbcbreakfast

The 'pause' of "Operation Epic Fury" stands in stark contrast to the relentless expansion of "Operation Warring Zion"... #r4today

Even John Healey can't escape the fact that, at this moment, the USA is NOT dictating the direction of this war - Israel and Iran are. #r4today

Wes Streeting is in the business of "quietly, effectively and efficiently moving on poor performing senior leaders where they are not delivering the improvement that's needed" - allegedly... oh - he's talking about the NHS ... #r4today

So many UK journalists are calling this "Trump's Iran war" - it’s almost as if they’re avoiding any mention of the role Israel 'might' be playing... #r4today

Lyse Doucet on #r4today: "It's not talks - it's messages"

"The headlines this morning Donald Trump has..." Time to make a cup of tea... #r4today

Good God! What parallel universe has Robinson led us into here? #r4today

Nick Robinson - frames it this way "war with Iran IS happening on our home turf" - a dangerous generalisation #r4today

It appears Nick Robinson is determined to bring 'it' home. #r4today

More Trump led "headlines" aka 🐂💩 #r4today #bbcbreakfast

"Our long-term future doesn't lie in fossil fuels" but our short and mid-term reality, especially during the 'transition', likely still does. #r4today #bbcbreakfast

History shows that what one side says during a war isn't always the whole truth. We should ask for real proof before 'choosing a side' or 'supporting' a conflict. Taking a beat to check the facts, reasoning and planning isn't wrong - it's smart. #r4today #bbcbreakfast

Vets can hardly complain about competition in their "marketplace" when they have had a virtual monopoly revolving around not being up front with our furry friend's treatment prices... #r4today #bbcbreakfast

I keep hearing the words "Trump's Iran war..." from some in the UK media... Exclusive: Trump approved Iran operation after Netanyahu argued for joint killing of Khamenei, sources say www.reuters.com/world/middle... #r4today #bbcbreakfast

🧵Yesterday, Netanyahu laid out a strategic (mid term?) goal that most have missed: bypassing the Strait of Hormuz forever. He wants oil & gas pipelines running west across the Arabian Peninsula directly to Israel's Mediterranean ports. 🛢️ Here is what he said [...] #r4today

Support for making mainstream schooling work well for children with an ASD is lacking, and specialised provision for those higher on 'the spectrum' are rarely customised to meet individual needs. #r4today

In corporations, the greatest assets are the people, yet sometimes the distribution of wealth from top to bottom doesn’t quite reflect that... #r4today

It’s hard not to get emotional during times of war - maybe some politicians manage it due to a flaw in their makeup, but how others pull it off is, to be honest, beyond me. #r4today
