Maybe just dial down the excited tone a bit? #r4today

Yesterday the Scottish Government announced a further delay to the implementation of muirburn licencing. That very same day, a muirburn in Aberdeenshire got out of control and started a wildfire. We can’t afford any more delay. 👇 www.rspb.org.uk/whats-happen...

Sarah Smith #r4today says Trump gave no details about (didn’t know or care) what happens next with the Gaza/Israel peace deal but she can confirm that Trump will be “furious” on Friday if he isn’t awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Wow. Priorities. Inspirational.

If blowing people out of the water without due process and renaming the Department of Defense to the Department of War gets someone the Nobel Peace Prize that would be another institution that would have trashed its reputation. #r4today

All we ever hear about or read about is migration, racism, antisemitism and Islamophobia. Hardly anything else gets a look in. Well I’m sick to bloody death of it. It’s like some self fulfilling Farage wet dream. Britain and its people are about so much more than this.

Why is Nick Robinson haranguing Starmer about whether Nigel Farage is a racist? Do your job and ASK HIM YOURSELF! #R4Today

When will #r4today learn we don’t want the attack dog gotcha stuff we want grown up discussion of v complex problems. Grow up Robinson

Nick Robinson is wondering why voters haven’t heard about Labour’s positive announcements, when all Robinson talks about is Farage. #r4today

🔥 Britain is about to launch a new GCSE in natural history – a vital step toward restoring our knowledge of and respect for the natural world.

The political right in the US have been radicalised so much that Fox News hosts calling for the execution of homeless people or the bombing/gassing of those at the UN get to keep their jobs. This is partly because the rest of the media have normalised such behaviour. #Americast #r4today

New statue on National Mall celebrates ‘long-lasting bond’ between Trump and Epstein

If you removed American and Farage content from the BBC #r4today news it would only take 10 minutes instead of 3 hours.

Millions spent on Trump visit. Red carpets, Royals in coronets and golden dining services too. And all he offers in return are petulant racist insults about our capital city and our mayor. What a singular lack of decorum, grace, and courtesy. Fuck him and his damp hands and his nicotine yellow wig

Dear BBC. Trump’s claims aren’t ‘extraordinary’ or ‘controversial’. They’re total bollocks, and very dangerous. Thank you for your attention to this matter. #r4today

Perhaps the #r4today headline should be "further evidence emerges that President Trump is completely unhinged and is obviously unfit for office". I really cannot understand why this is the lead item on a (previously) serious need programme.

FIRE IN AMERICA‼️ “Bullets don't descriminate like people do"

London Trans Pride brought 100,000 people to London's streets earlier this year, and without over-hyped figures such as Bannon and Musk, and without the media storm. Yesterday's far-right event in London was only a sour hiccup. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Record crowds for what? We’ve marched for Palestine monthly for the last 2 years - often c200,000. Hardly covered even in @theguardian.com They have all religions, ages, genders and ethnic groups. @jvoicelabour.bsky.social Far-right London rally sees record crowds and violent clashes with police

Charismatic right wing commentator is how #bbcpm just described him! Here are his views - make up your own mind!

I remind you that Kirk was NOT an elected official or official of any kind. The fact that TACO made a statement about his death, while remaining silent about the assassination of Melissa Hortman speaks volumes. I also know of no protocol whatsoever to lower the United States flag for the

Your regular reminder that the UK is giving an adjudicated rapist, and 34 time felon, who is credibly accused of multiple additional sexual assaults (including against children), a second state visit. Fck your 'real politik' bullshit. This is a fkn disgrace. #r4today

Just for our UK listeners. Some context to Charlie Kirk. #r4today

Nick Robinson just asked John Curtice if the BBC giving a platform to Farage & Reform was responsible for their popularity; presumably hoping to hear the polling guru say a resounding "no". Instead, Curtice said, "it's not just that, it's also how he uses it" So the answer's clearly yes. #r4today

Now this is a tax return that I would be very, very keen on seeing. Do feel free to give it a share. www.change.org/p/urge-nigel...

I’ve been frustrated to see so much of the ongoing story about asylum seekers and the protests against them covered without hearing from those seeking asylum and now being met with hostility and hatred I set out to speak to those directly affected to find out about the impact this is having 👇

Nigel Farage put his Clacton house in his girlfriend Laure's name, to avoid paying tax. He has not disclosed this.He has properties in the village of Downe in Kent & 2 houses in Lydd-on Sea owned through his company Thorn in the Side & has property in Tandridge in Surrey. www.reformparty.uk

Nigel Farage uses private company to pay less tax on £400,000 GB News earnings. Poor attendance record in parliament, collects £94,000 salary+expenses. Has used a trust fund in an offshore tax haven. Previously described people who try to avoid tax as the “common enemy”.

If you want to see any accountability directed towards Farage don’t look to the British media, you have to look over The Pond instead, kudos to Jamie Raskin for this. #NigelFarage #r4today

07:36 Amol Rajan talks to Claire Coutinho about the Tories' proposal to suck every last drop of oil out of the North Sea, doesn't seem to mention climate change and net zero. 08:24 Amol Rajan talks about climate change with regard to bird migration, doesn't seem to mention oil. #r4today

#r4today Amol Rajan interviews Sudanese woman who claimed asylum in Scotland: “Why Scotland?” — as if she needs permission to decide where to rebuild her life. Did she arrive legally? What, exactly, is he implying? And finally, the pervasive gratitude trope reinforcing expectations of passivity.

Asked by the BBC how he would feel if "your daughter was having to walk past one of these [asylum] hotels every day?" Keir Starmer replies that "I completely get it". "I understand why people want the hotels closed. I want them closed".

I'd rather my daughter walk past an asylum 'hotel' than, for example, several builders.

Hello Gardening Friends, This years crop failure is undoubtedly the corn. I am surprised to see an ear actually forming considering the lack of another stalk. The variety is 'Bodacious', and it was a couple of years old. 🌱 It is going to be delicious. Let me know your failures this growing year.

The Government will no doubt say this is an Ofcom matter. No it’s a DCMS matter and it impacts us all. The petition is a show of feeling right across the UK. This is just the start. We want fair coverage of the parties WE elect with votes. Not dictated by polls petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Ed Davey taking a strong moral stance that he won’t banquet with Trump - the man who is able to end the starvation & massacres of Gazans - when he visits in September. Trump receiving honours is honouring a genocide. We cannot let it go by without protest #r4today

Ed Davey says he won’t sit at a banquet with Trump on his state visit Would be wrong to feast with him when Trump is the man enabling the massacres & starvation of Palestinian children. In that, he’s absolutely right. It would be very wrong not to protest Trump #r4today

“Trump chooses not to end the Gaza slaughter. That’s why I’ll boycott the state dinner when he meets King Charles” @eddavey.libdems.org.uk www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Thanks everyone. Good day for signatures. The heat map is getting hotter. Just got to keep it up til Sept 13. Must get to 10k signatures. Currently on 7,177. Been going up 2 every minute at one point today. Keep passing round. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Good for Ed Davey. Let's hope more people follow suit, and not just over Gaza, but also Trump's position on Ukraine, Renewables, slavish obedience to Big Oil, Big Food, Big Plastic, ICE, and so on www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

#bbcpm mri vaccine??

I can't wait for the BBC to devote a day's coverage to the Greens - who also have a whopping four seats - next week. #bbcpm

And here's a comment from some decent souls who live in #Epping and are being affected by the rent-a-mob protests. (Stolen from the dark side). You are just stoking fear and hate #Farage , but then that's always been your MO as you're just a one trick pony. #ReformUK #wato

Farage (and others) speeches being carried live on #BBCNews No idea if it’s being fact-checked but the bit I’ve heard should be. What is happening to this country?
