Lights out and away we go! #Clacton

No longer a joke candidate, Count Binface offers a manifesto that delivers far more for Clacton than Farage ever has.

Oh Gawd, not Graham "climate denier" Stringer. Carefully curated Robinson nonsense. Nick is having a World Cup crisis. #r4today

Andrew Lansley had six years as Shadow Health Secretary and then came in and blew up the NHS, creating an internal market. The Tories failed the country because they didn't understand it. #r4today

Oh for goodness sake, stop it Nick. There are plenty of subjects that #r4today listeners want the programme to cover. Proper attention to climate breakdown, for example, rather than a five minutes knockabout. But no, we are speculating about what Burnham will do next week or not.

In this parish, Justin Webb got an increase, Nick Robinson got a very cold bath, Amol Rajan got about the same, Anna Foster got listed at last and Emma Barnett got a raise. #r4today BBC News - BBC pay 2025-2026: The full list of star salaries www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Trump is more likely to listen to golf partners than Gulf partners. The man is delusional and his phone should be removed. Stop reporting his daily nonsense. #r4today

What a shame that Gavin Barwell wasn't called back to comment on the state of child health and his Conservative government's actions which helped to cause it's decline. #r4today

I think the corral between #TFTD and the weather forecast should be reserved for Honest Bob Jenrick, who commands no respect whatsoever. #r4today

If Andy Burnham had announced who would be his Chancellor, then Nick Robinson would be content to wait until Parliament returns after the Summer, before he..... #r4today

Gavin Barwell seems like a nice chap, but, of course, he was a Minister in a government which deliberately took money away from children and families and failed to maintain the national infrastructure. #r4today

❤️ #r4today

Could it be that more people now are able to distinguish between fact and fiction? Why aren't ancient Egyptian or Norwegian gods still worshipped? The Christian god hasn't made any more contact with humans than the others. Maybe being paid to be a religious leader is an incentive. #r4today

The Met Office app shows today in Burton, not too far from Chester, as cloudy and Thursday as sunny. Maybe the problem is with the BBC weather app, or 10 seconds attention span. #r4today

The obvious solution to the presence of dodgy characters not wanted in the UK is to build a prison estate in the Falklands. Jobs and income for the islanders and a deterrent to any Argentinian incursions. #r4today

Healthy people inhabit bodies that run at about 37 °C, Nick Robinson. Higher temperatures with accompanying high humidity affect our ability to sweat. #r4today

If it is time to hear about football again, then Nick Robinson is your ambassador. "Passionate opposition to peat" and wild fires don't stand a chance when the World Cup enters the studio. #r4today

Many people don’t realise this is not a joke. There’s a chance, a slim one, for regime change in one of the parties that is part of the global Far Right network.

I refuse to celebrate Widdecombe's total incoherence of liking the "sinner" and then legislating against the "sin". #r4today

Word of the Day for Webb and Rajan. #r4today Careless" is an adjective that describes someone or something acting without enough attention, thought, or concern. It often refers to someone failing to take proper precautions, leading to mistakes, or being unconcerned about consequences.

Well that's a surprise. It turns out that the human body, developed over hundreds of thousands of years to survive interaction with other species and geographical changes, works better if it moves. Insightful "Flagship" news. #r4today

Lovely tale.

"Classics?" they said. "How is that going to be useful unless you're a teacher or work in a museum?" *me 20 years later writing a column analysing Count Binface's assessment of finer points of ancient Athenian democracy* "Take THAT!"

I simply don't believe that Sarah Montague has never met a disabled person. Why is she coming out with such stupid questions? #PIP #wato

Sunshine spreads exponentially. #r4today

What is the purpose of saying "The BBC understands..."? It seems to be a clunky way of saying "What I am about say may be true or it might not." Very "flagship" news. #r4today

"Representing foreign interests" could be a description of #r4today presenters reading out Bits of the Papers. We could do with some transparency about which presenters are paid columnists for which publications.

Sunshine spreads exponentially. #r4today

If there is a by election then Farridge will have the real campaign advantage of detailed local knowledge of Clacton and a fully functioning constituency office with staff in place. 🙄😂 #r4today

Those pesky Europeans... #r4today

Nick Robinson "debating the cost of living crisis" reminds me that it is not long before the BBC shares details of this year's top salary list of presenters. NR was on £410k ish. #TOTP #r4today

I wish Louise Casey well with her #SocialCare Commission. If anyone can genuinely influence govt, it's Ms Casey. #r4today She might like to take a look at the outcomes from the Citizens Assembly on social care 👇 www.involve.org.uk/resource/cit...

I could certainly do with one of these when listening to #r4today.

🚨 "Chris Mason will join us at ten minutes past eight." 🚨 They are spoiling us again. #r4today

Shurly shum mishtake. #r4today

It appears that where Keir Starmer went wrong was in declaring the receipt of tickets, suits and glasses, rather than just accepting a large amount of crypto from a close foreign friend. Them's the breaks. #r4today

Presumably the "80% in the middle" that Farridge is championing doesn't include his constituents in Clacton, who have never been able to visit a constituency surgery. #bbclaurak

"That's quite a charge" as #bbclaurak might say... #r4today

Odd article on an odd man. Reminds me of classic obituaries of old. "Didn't suffer fools gladly" = an arsehole. "A no nonsense approach = an arsehole. "Love him or hate him" = an arsehole. "An eccentric individual " = an arsehole. www.yorkpress.co.uk/news/2624097...

The biter, bit. #r4today
