There would be a lot fewer Reform members altogether without #BBCQT and its recruiting sergeants #r4today

#R4Today “Mr da Vinci, your portrait of the enigmatic woman is quite well-liked, but all those brush strokes! “Were you not just tempted to invent the camera?” Do #BBC presenters have any concept of art, craft, beauty, uniqueness, originality…? … but 🤬 telephone poems! Grrrr! #WallaceAndGrommit

Creating policy to grab headlines is hardly the way to govern properly #r4today

We could have ID cards which would be very useful. We could have a voting system that reflects the population. We could have a decent national broadcast news and politics. But we seem to cock much of it up. #r4today

I was kinda in favour of digital ID before Lisa Nandy came on air to insist that it’s not going to make my life any easier and it’s solely targeted at immigrants/ Reform voters #R4Today

Governments are not limited do doing only things in a manifesto. That has never been a thing. It's like the BBC is trying to make it a thing. #r4today

This interview is shite Nick. You’re all over the shop and I’m going back to the World Service - thanks #r4today

Labour and Lisa Nandy try to be a serious government but the current BBC and especially news and politics, exemplified by #r4today, are an unserious tabloid space nowadays.

He seems to wants every hospital to challenge every brown person as to their citizenship! Scary.

Whether the ID is a serious or workable idea is debatable. But at least Labour has control of the topic for a change. #r4today

Lisa Nandy is on to explain the ID proposal. But Robinson keeps interrupting to raise his red herrings so we don't get a full explanation, only of his complaints. #r4today

Doesn't this ID proposal mean everyone has to register to get the ID? Therefore all immigrants would be registered on arrival. #r4today

ID cards would be welcome for me. But now I'm not sure what is proposed. #r4today

This is how #r4today should be reporting on the Comey story, and not forget half of it, as they did

"We British" did have ID within living memory Nick. But I don't expect you to be truthful or informed. #r4today

Did you watch The Hack? I can't believe papers have gotten away with destroying lives for so long. That's why I've signed the petition, set up by Hugh Grant and other phone hacking victims, to demand fair, independent regulation. Join me: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/a-...

Tory Helen Whately is doing the media rounds saying the benefits bill is out of control and the two-child cap should stay. The same Helen Whately who claims £39k/pa rental expenses despite living 50 miles from Westminster. Brain dead, and morally bankrupt. #r4today #BBCBreakfast

#r4today #wato

He hasn't a clue. With an ageing population we can't maintain living standards without migration. Migration has had a very marginal effect on lower wages. Free movement brought young educated enthusiastic workers to the Uk.

They're eating the swans... bsky.app/profile/john... #wato

This is a totally negative perspective from the BBC again. Not representative of reality or a Christian country. #wato

How many Palestinians has the State of Israel murdered today eh BBC? #wato

Never mind that people are fleeing from war, famine, persecution or climate change eh. Let's judge people on a cost sheet. Frack off Davis! #wato

Migrants are people and can do anything anyone else can. It's not difficult but for reasons of political divisiveness they try to make it a big issue. They being the BBC, MSM, right wing politicians. #wato #r4today

Evan Davies talking about "migrants" as if they are a different species. Very disappointing. #wato

Interested in what Sarah's office is like. I assumed it was open plan but perhaps she has a cosy semi detached somewhere with her own team? #wato

I wish Sarah Montagu was this probing of Reform guests. #WATO

Sarah is a good old Tory isn't she? #wato

Are #wato going to rake up old tory scandals too?

Is this chap saying that past politicians have decreed that the high streets should be as bad as he says they are now? #wato

Force retailers back into city centres by closing retail parks and then build social housing on the derelict retail parks? #wato

Little local shops will not flourish while the majority of people shop for stuff online. I tried to find something locally last week & the local go-to shop told me to go online to find it. Without a level playing field clicks v bricks this won't change. Meanwhile, how about converting to homes #wato

#wato 's twice yearly worry about the high street? Interesting or repetitive?

Were those voices truly representative of callers' opinions about Andy Burnham? Or just for BBC balance? #wato #LBC

Neil Coyle's Wikipedia page makes humorous reading. #wato

Which rights do you think can be watered down? #wato

The Labour right moaning because they aren't popular? #wato

#AndyBurnham is basically saying to #KeirStarmer "It's not my fault your bird fancies me" #WATO #BBCPM #Labour

Keir Starmer needs a hand. If Burnham does a weekly public chat, Starmer could learn from that. #wato

Politics does become important to #r4today presenters when inheritance tax changes are proposed or VAT on private school fees is charged but when decisions are made that take the number of food banks needed to feed the working poor from 35 to about 3,000 they are memory-holed and normalised.

The "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation" has reported no activity for six of the last seven days, on its dodgy website. #r4today

This country made significant progress against racism in my lifetime - but we did not do so by chance. There is a visible visceral regression in experiencing of overt racism because the toxic fringe with the most extreme views have a sense of permission & impunity www.easterneye.biz/racism-in-uk...

Emma Barnett comments that we'll hear much more about the Chinese carbon emissions target, but doesn't bother to remind us that COP30 starts in Brazil on 11 November - less than seven weeks from now. Joining the dots is just not a #r4today thing.

John Donnison was talking to these Australian doctors at length yesterday on BBC News. #r4today

Where in the bible is there justification for that? #r4today

Israel, the only democracy in the middle East? Makes you proud, eh? #r4today

When was the last time Barnet and Robinson appeared together on #r4today
