I hope we will be able to see you. #BBCGhosts

Gorton and Denton. Just a simple question for Reform: Does this mean Matt Goodwin is now a ‘Shadow’ MP? 😜

An update from Gorton and Denton... #r4today

Eeyore Mason is back with another bucket of cold water. #r4today

Chris "Eeyore" Mason has woken up in buoyant mood. The sky has fallen. #r4today

Another arrogant Reform public school boy, David Bull this time, explaining how the voters got it wrong again. #r4today

Will Nick Robinson stick to congratulating @zackpolanski.bsky.social or descend into drugs policy and family voting? #r4today

Our Matt was classy to the end... #GortonAndDenton #r4today

The pros and cons of an exercise in crisis management explained. #FighterNotAQuitter #r4today www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

"If he has any decency or backbone, he will stand up, apologise, condemn the comments and sack the individual in his party". Farage stands up and asks question about Chagos Islands. #PMQS

How does he sleep at night?

Even the BBC doesn't want to come aboard the flagship when the emotional Webb and Barnett duo are projecting. #r4today

Here's a thought, Justin Webb, if we must hear about #SOTU get Pete on the programme, for, you know, "balance". #r4today

A Professor who knows.... #SOTU #r4today

It seems to me that those in favour of #AssistedDying are wanting people to decide for themselves, whilst those opposed are wanting to decide for them. #r4today

Over the decades, Mandelson has repeatedly needed to tell the nation that "I am a fighter and not a quitter." Perhaps the police are too young to remember that. #r4today

Get ready, Sarah Montague is about to talk about appeasement. #Ukraine #wato

I am a gay man who could get regularly upset by hearing offensive homophobic words. Some of those words have been "reclaimed" and are used between #LGBTQ+ folk. Context is paramount in all conversations and situations. I would not be offended by hearing a Tourettes tic. #r4today

#r4today may like to read out some proper journalism.

It does seem that Trump is being accepted as the World King overriding international law and treaties. Hans Christian Andersen had an answer to that. #r4today

An antidote to #r4today. You're welcome.

As an architect, this is so fucking bleak. Someone in my profession is taking a hefty design fee to draw these plans. This is a modern day concentration camp and the design professionals involved should be named and shamed.

If I was a member of the British Chambers of Commerce I would cancel my membership. Andy Haldane seems quite happy for Donald a day is a long time Trump to decide UK trading policies. #r4today

Oh for goodness sake, the Royal Family is on a higher plain, because God put them on it. Charlie Boy was anointed with oil by a Archbishop in the church that he is head of, and Parliament prays to at every sitting. Either we go along with this Ruritanian nonsense, or we do something else. #r4today

An FBI spokesman publicly admonished journalist @kendilanian-nbc.bsky.social for suggesting Kash Patel would attend the hockey game at the #WinterOlympics at the taxpayers expense. #r4today

Weather technology provides ample time to prepare for big storms like the one expected in New England today and tomorrow. This saves lives. If you are in a vulnerable area it's still not too late to prepare so you are not caught off guard. Stay safe out there! www.cnn.com/webview/weat...

We are the laughingstock of the world because of our moronic and psychotic president. Deservedly so.

My goodness, I missed this by @michaelspicer.bsky.social. It is as near to perfect as a thing can get. I actually did an honest-to-Betsie spit-take at the Poundland joke. And the meta coda is out of this world. youtu.be/gDH0Tz8Yb9I?...

What luck that Simon Jack is the BBC business editor and is therefore able to explain to #r4today listeners that Trump is a terrible unhinged President and will damage US businesses irrevocably.

Oh dear... #r4today

Don't congratulate John Roberts or the Supreme Court. Congratulate Rick Woldenberg, the Chicago-area leader of Learning Resources, an educadtional toy company that had the courage to sue the president of the United States to save his family business. As well as everyone else who stepped up.

A reminder to everybody: European exporters (or Chinese ones) have never paid the Trump tariffs. Tariffs are paid by the importer. The importers are now likely to ask for refunds.

#wato Off to Woking?

#WinterOlympics #LGBTQ+ Going for Gold. #r4today

These two women are suing Andrew Tate, alleging he raped them. Here they visit the social media companies that created Tate. Please share. *one voice altered to disguise identity

A County Court judgment on an unlawful eviction claim (locks changed while tenant and children were on holiday). Landlord files hopeless defence then fails to take part. Damages of over £50,000. Thanks to Radhika Shah of Harrow Law Centre for the note of judgment. nearlylegal.co.uk/2026/02/evicte…

Antonia Romeo appointed as cabinet secretary - @alexgathomas.bsky.social and I wrote last week about the challenges ahead for her and what lessons need to be taken from Wormald's tenure: www.instituteforgovernment.org.uk/comment/next...

It's an excellent piece. The answer to how the likes of Ridley thrive is very simple. He's an Eton educated Oxford graduate who is also a hereditary peer. He may be exceptionally stupid, but that is enough in this country to cover you in armour plating and propel you onwards in your career.

To sleep, perchance to dream... #r4today

In nature, drones in bee hives are useless hangers-on and are eventually driven out of the hive by the workers. Fingers crossed. #r4today

In other news.... #r4today

The Tories spent 14 years not spending on young people, shutting down Sure Start, closing youth clubs, not repairing schools and not funding mental health services. It is not surprising that youth unemployment is rising and needs favourable intervention. #r4today
