There's a war on ... the by-election is, literally, yesterday's news.

#r4today Appalling interviews of by Nick and Justin. The Greens constantly interrupted and criticised. Reform given a free pass. Come on. This is not fair and balanced reporting. .

#wato Sarah Montagu is quite determined to keep Starmer out of Scotland.

#r4today What is this pushing of Melania? Appropriately, that music sounded a bit like the theme to Dead Ringers!

#r4today Er...the Urdd Eisteddfod held annually in Wales may give an inkling of how teenagers in Wales, at least, do sing together. Could have been mentioned?

#r4today I would suggest Emma does take the time to watch "One Battle After Another" it has many swipes at the current state of US politics. Could be quite informative.

#r4today That last post was missing the #. Apologies. A response to Jeremy Bowen's invaluable insights.

United Fruit Company not "US" in Guatemala 1954 but the Dulles brothers (one Sec of State and one head of the CIA) did have interests in it. US intervention in Latin America by no means new.

All been downhill since 2010. Lest we forget!

Ah, but will this birth of England be put in the context of the history Britain...doubt it. #r4today

And a TFTD worth listening to, for once. #r4today. Interesting mention of King Herod. Very apt.

Interesting thoughts on AI from Bill Gates but the utopian" there will be more leisure time for everyone" is a highly unlikely outcome. #r4today

What is the point of #r4today other than to look for opportunities to slam Labour and give right-wing views a platform?

James Dyson, guest editor #r4today Brexiteer, moved his company to Singapore. Will not be listening.

#Cymru,#Plaid Great result for Plaid.Just wish the media focused a little more on why Plaid won and less on why Labour and Reform lost.

Justin desperate to find something to denigrate in the recovery of Welsh place names. Attempts "divisive", gives up, and clearly loses interest. #r4today

Well, Nick is laying into Labour. He's having a thrilling time at Conference. #r4today

"Who's rich?" Nick probably thinking, with much self-satisfaction, "I am! " #r4today

Just read the Guardian editorial on Welsh politics analysing the demise of Welsh Labour, mentioning (in passing) that Plaid is in the lead, but this passed over to focus on Reform. Even the Guardian? Really? #Guardian

Interesting how Nick is quite testy with this Tory in a way he never was when they were in power. #r4today smells blood. Off to Reform it goes.

Justin Webb eulogising the Right, damning the "Left" in US politics, including, it seems, Bluesky! What is going on? Time Webb posted his cv to Fox News. He needs a new home. #r4today

Ha...William Hague's comments are, surely, not a definition of democracy! #r4today

Well, there was a mention of the Guardian headline on Johnson but well hidden in the news headlines and quickly turned into an explanation of ex-PMs allowances. Come on BBC, you can do better than this, no need to be so blatantly biased. #r4today

Always ready to criticise Nick Robinson so, today, well done Nick for hammering the pathetic Richard Tice. #r4today

Dreadful interview by Rajan. Blatant bias on the Angela Rayner issue. Was she "avoiding" paying the full amount...clearly the BBC jury is back with a guilty verdict. #r4today

R4Today turned into light magazine style soft interviews. Taylor Swift and now a novelist? Emma does know she is no longer on Women's Hour ( which, on reflection, is definitely a cut above this)? #r4today

Reassured that there are many posts expressing anger and indignation at Nick Robinson's interview with Jenrick. Absolutely agree that this was an appalling piece of right-wing propaganda intended to stoke fear and hatred. #r4today

AGAIN...Back to Emma and the stand outside B.Palace. Not English and not even slightly interested in football. Switch off. #r4today

Grant Shapps arguing the super injunction really had nothing to with him and that the Parliamentary Committee couldn't be told as it couldn't be trusted. That way lies...a breakdown of democracy? Tempted to use the T word...tyranny. #r4today

Why does the BBC give so much publicity to ( a tiny party in the great scheme of the House of Commons) and their "threat" to renewable energy? How about covering Lib Dem statements, given it has a much bigger electoral base? #r4today

The Guardian on Wimbledon" Queues and winning Radenacu make Wimbledon feel even more British..." and who did Radenacu beat? She beat wild card Mimi Xu from...Swansea. Well done Mimi for doing so well against Radenacu and as for the Guardian, last I checked, Swansea is still in Britain. Hwyl fawr.

What is it about politicians and the thrill of war? Especially when they have zero experience of war. #r4today

Kemi is not discussing what she doesn't want to! What a disaster she is. #r4today

Any sign of dolphins thanking us for all the fish? #r4today

The UNSC was blocked by US and USSR during the Cold War so resolutions often went to the General Assembly. Time to do that for a ceasefire in Gaza? #gaza #r4today

Emma desperate to defend the Israeli government on food distribution. Seems very annoyed by the UNICEF representative. Is she fair and balanced on Gaza? I think not. #r4today

Predictable middle-class teen vox pop on phones. #r4today

Neis gweld chi ar Have I Got News For You neithiwr.🤣 @benlake.bsky.social

Pity the exchange between Ellis James and Emma wasn't a little more interesting, serious even. That Welsh, one of the ancient European languages, is still ticking along, is quite amazing given our liguistically very powerful neighbours. Yma o hyd. #bbcr4today

And yes, Justin, 48% tax and maybe more rich people pay it? #bbcr4today

Well done Sarah. Kept your cool with that obnoxious man. #bbcwato

Let's hope all those voters who did not turn up for the council elections take a solomn vow NOT to stay home next time. 30% turnout. Come on!

Oh no...Trumpy Webb pitching up at 12:45 to say good things about his fave pres. #bbcwato

Just to say there are lots of professional cybersecurity companies out there. No need to depend on former hackers.#r4today

Sometimes feel that no matter how hard you give optimism a go, Justin and Emma on #r4today come calling. 🫣

High time Labour ministers either Emma et al. that they were there to explain policies not respond to a stream of attempts at "gotcha" questions. Then take off microphones and walk out. #r4today

@benlake.bsky.social Da iawn gweld chi yma Ben.

Suggests Reform is set to replace Labour, that has finally ceased to be the reflex vote in these constituencies. Tragic but serves Labour right. Just wish it were Plaid hoovering up the votes. Reform has nothing to offer but smoke and mirrors.

Surely the current Israeli government has heard of the Nazi policy of Lebensraum. There are no words. #r4today

Finally, some indignation over Gaza. Thank you Lyse. #r4today
