For some reason , #Newsnight appears to be having Tom Harwood of GB News on panel tonight. If people wanted to watch that channel, they would do.

What a load of nonsense about ID cards. The government proposal is just common sense and there is no suggestion of compulsory cards. 🙄 #newsnight

If this is the replacement for Netanyahu then God help us… 😞🙄 #c4news

I really think Nick is getting carried away with these attack lines on Starmer. Rayner went as soon as the ethics advisor reported and if he’d sacked Mandelson any quicker he would have been acting in what was already known when he was appointed! Stop fitting facts to your narrative. #r4today

Why are the media not challenging the contradictory and self serving words of Republicans and right wing US commentators? And where is the challenge from the so called left? Most sane people would regard Kirk as a racist religious nutter and not someone to be taken so seriously. #r4today

France is a land of oppositionalists but no leaders. No one is doing anything but blaming others for the failures of the system. It’s madness #c4news

observer.co.uk/culture/book... I think I’m on the side of Mr Berners-Lee…

observer.co.uk/news/columni... Worth noting when reflecting on Angela Rayner…

observer.co.uk/news/columni... @kenanmalik.bsky.social :

observer.co.uk/news/politic... “When we are seeing falling numbers of parents getting their children vaccinated, and a resurgence of disease we had previously eradicated, it is shockingly irresponsible for Nigel Farage to give a platform to these poisonous lies.”

observer.co.uk/news/politic... Now I’m starting to understand this reshuffle - but why wasn’t the narrative communicated better? observer.co.uk/news/politic...

Is this why Farage has been quiet on Rayner… #r4today

I can see no clear narrative for this reshuffle. It makes no sense and looks like it’s just an exercise in demonstrating power. #r4today

Spot on. Trump is a big man bullying smaller powers but a laughing stock dealing with the other bullies like Russia and China. Hence the rebranding of the dept of war. Pathetic. #bbcnews

So the man who wants a Nobel peace prize has renamed his dept of defence the dept of war. Trump just said this is for US consumption and irrelevant to the real world. Nuts. #newsnight #bbcnews

I really don’t understand what Starmer is playing at here. Why shift the three most effective ministers into new jobs just because the DPM has resigned? This could set back progress in home affairs, justice and foreign policy/diplomacy. It’s madness! 🤷‍♂️🤪 #bbcnews #newsnight

#Newsnight MAGA: Making Autocrats Great Again.

Brilliant from Billy Bragg. Exactly how the flag should be addressed… unity not division and good old British liberalism. #newsnight

I think most people assumed Dorries had already joined Reform… #newsnight

The media have such a weird view of what the public really care about. #newsnight

Boring, boring. Can the BBC try covering real news instead of yet more tabloid speculation about ministerial behaviour. It’s pathetic. The public are not interested! #newsnight

Nope. Utterly predictable low brow so called journalism. #newsnight

Why oh why are journalists so credulous of Farage’s nonsense? He is not having a nice debate about the details of specific laws that may need amendment (a fair point). He is alleging a state conspiracy to silence people and comparing us to N Korea. Please stop giving him credibility! #newsnight

Also, the Conservatives keep claiming they closed 200 in the run up to the election (and somehow would have closed them all by now) and Labour claims it has made similar progress since. Can someone fact check whether one, both or neither is being transparent? #r4today

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... @jonathanfreedland.bsky.social

Well said Victoria! Some compassion, community spirit and common sense amidst all this aggressive pushy nationalism… #bbcaq

Are we still on small boats? #r4today

How can it even be possible that #r4today lifts its lead story - a Tory witch hunt into Rayner’s taxes - direct from the Daily Telegraph? How can this be independent, national news on a day heaving with matters of international significance?

She also said it’s perfectly possible to add a protocol to amend it (though would take a bit of politics to align the signatories and some time). And that leaving would take time because you must give notice. The “leave the ECHR” slogan is just Brexit politics - not sensible or necessary. #r4today

Information not misinformation from @benchu.bsky.social: How many illegal #immigrants are living in the UK? Are they put up in ‘four star hotels’? Are phones and iPads provided? Following comments made by #Rylan Clarke, #BBCVerify Policy Corr Ben Chu goes through the data+information for #Newsnight

The councillor is talking nonsense. His party started using hotels and the current government is reducing them and also tackling the backlog of asylum cases, which sounds like a plan to me. His Rwanda “plan” was actually abandoned by the Tory government… #c4news

Trump is a laughing stock. He is prolonging the war in Ukraine not ending it. He declares himself “unhappy” but does nothing to prevent Putin’s terrorism. #r4today

Utter nonsense from Kate - you can’t leave an international treaty for 6 months then rejoin. This is such a narrow conversation, ignoring the global context of massive migration pressures… #newsnight

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a... #newsnight

It’s a bit difficult to take these discussions about the future of Gaza seriously when the message from Netanyahu’s government is they want a greater Israel and Trump sees it as a real estate opportunity… #r4today

Well said Mr Seldon. Can we get back to what really matters instead of giving the impression that immigration is all? #newsnight

This is all we need.... People, your reminder that there are just FOUR #ReformUK MP's. Perhaps MSM can start giving #GreenParty who have same number of MP's, as much airtime. And that the #LibDems have 72 MP's. But who gets constant coverage? #Farage #bbcpm
