There’s professionally interviewing a Govt Minister . Then there’s having an unhinged rant at a Minister, like they do on GB News & Talk. That was Emma Barnett (who earns £285k pa from the BBC) just enjoying an unhinged rant . Then cutting the Minister off whilst he was responding . #R4today

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social is a FRAUD . Pass it on Polanski stood by breast enlargement hypnosis claim

Do the Tories really think that Britain is more concerned about a few pence on petrol in September (an increase that might not even happen), than Badenoch wanting to send British servicemen and women to their death in the Gulf (and then changing her mind) ? #PMQs

You’ve got to admire the chutzpah of a hereditary Lord claiming that he and his mates leaving Parliament will somehow be a “loss” to our democracy #R4today 🥴

Darren Jones has the ability to sound incredibly courteous whilst rightly treating Emma Barnett’s ridiculous line of questioning with the contempt that it deserves #R4today

Superb analysis from Jeremy Bowen on America & Israel’s gulf war #R4today

This woman talking about robots on #R4today is really struggling to explain her point . Difficult listening

Claire Coutinho is a great reminder that despite some Labour ministers not being particularly effective, there were far worse in the last government . Utterly gormless #r4today

Just looked to see what the reaction to David Lammy’s media round was on the sewer that is X . As usual, lots of disgusting racism from the hard right, much of it unprintable. Also lots of Green’s screaming that they will take his seat at the GE and that he’s “Zionist far right sc*m” 🙄 #R4today

Anna Foster has been taking lessons in “gotcha” and showing “disdain and contempt” for senior Labour ministers. This is utterly appalling from our supposedly impartial national broadcaster. #R4today

Shabana Mahmood her usual excellent self on #TrevorPhillips @skynewsrss.bsky.social tonight . Measured, intelligent and an excellent communicator . If Starmer bows to the Labour, hard left and throws her under the bus, it will be shameful

I have my criticisms of Starmer, but thank God he’s PM now and not Badenoch #R4today

Looks like the BBC have given the 8.10 slot to Badenoch to attack Starmer and support Trump’s illegal war in the Middle East #R4today

CNN put together a montage of the regime's incoherent talking points about Trump's war on Iran

Good luck to anyone who seriously believes that Britain would be better off with Nigel Farage, Badenoch or Polanski in No 10 today #R4today

“Just briefly and finally Mr McDonnell” is a phrase that should be used in every conversation with the hateful old Corbynista. #R4today

BREAKING : Putin backs Corbyn and Zack Polanski #BBClaurak

Dame Tracy Emin . What an amazing woman #Bbclaurak

Priti Patel and Polanski are 2 sides of the same coin ….hard right/hard left . Both idiotic . Both dangerous Horseshoe theory #BBClaurak

People unfairly claim that Polanski does “student union politics” . That’s nonsense . He struggles to even do sixth form collage politics . #Bbclaurak

Thankfully the moronic hard left populist Polanski will never become Prime Minister . He’s undoubtedly going to help Farage win power though #Bbclaurak

Labour must remain a centrist party . It must not lurch to the left in a desperate attempt to respond to the anti-NATO, economically illiterate Greens www.independent.co.uk/voices/labou...

Finally, someone actually points out that the populist Greens sound remarkably similar in some ways to the populist Reform . And it was Prof John Curtace no less #r4today

Nick and Chris Mason finding it difficult to hide their delight at the “insurgency on the left” and the potential “end of the Labour Party” #r4today

Corbynistas Andrea Egan and Sharon Graham are of course entitled to their opinions . Let’s not pretend however that they aren’t on the far left or that they have ever supported Starmer #r4today

Polanski is a populist fraud . A dangerous thick one at that .Thankfully, he will never become Prime Minister, but will help Farage to win in 2029 #r4today

I don’t live in Gorton & Denton, but if I did, I’d be voting Labour today . If it was in a constituency where the LibDems were best placed to win, I’d vote for them.

Starmer rightfully taking the fight to hard right Reform and hard left Greens #PMQs

Badenoch climbs into the gutter with the likes of Lee Anderson and Sarah Poochin by making ‘paedo’ jokes #PMQs

#Politicslive unwatchable because the host unable to stop Lord Mackinlay talking over other guests after they allowed him to speak uninterrupted #PoliticsLive

I don’t usually agree with Edwina Currie on Times Radio, but for once I do …. “They are telling people whatever they want to hear in Gorton & Denton. They are an offence to common sense & democracy”

As a single person household with 3 dogs, I have no need whatsoever for a food waste recycling service from the council . I have my own . #r4today

I have seen the scale of the mountain Labour has to climb in Gorton and Denton – but also the way it can do it | Polly Toynbee

I quite like Ed Davey, but he’s having an absolute car crash on #R4today

The monarchy isn’t perfect, but it’s better than having a political appointment. Personally, I’d be happy with a President Blair, but many would be horrified . I’d be horrified by a President Corbyn or Farage, many would be delighted . There lies the problem #R4today

Today’s #BBClaurak perfectly illustrates the crisis facing Labour and the country . People want more money for SEND, more money for defence, more money on the NHS, lower student loan repayments, no cuts to welfare . But also no tax rises. Scandinavian style welfare with US style taxes 🙄🤷

The Green Party under Polanski has completely lost the plot. Just as dangerous, deranged and extremist as Reform. #bbclaurak #trevorphillips metro.co.uk/2026/02/21/g...

Be really funny if, in response to Trump’s nonsense on Chagos, a Govt spokesperson simply said “He doesn’t know his fat arse from his elbow” #R4today

Hypnotits is on @skynews again talking absolute fiscally illiterate boll*x again . He’s Mad Lizzy in a k-hole

Someone posted this on X . Made me chuckle

Good 👍 Palestine Action activists to face retrial over break-in www.thetimes.com/article/8a68...

1 in 5 young men in UK don’t have a job . Youth unemployment is now higher here than the EU average . AI is about to wipe out millions of jobs . Increasing the minimum wage for young people to the same level as “adult” workers would be bonkers . As would increasing employment rights #r4today

US State Dept formally confirms support for UK “surrender deal” (sic) on Chagos Islands, in massive blow for Farage, the Tories and right wing media #R4today

With youth unemployment at 17% and higher than the EU average, it obviously makes sense not to equalise the minimum wage for young people with older workers . However, this will be yet another u-turn on a manifesto promise . What a mess . Again #R4today

Bet Stephen Kinnock is delighted to be the one who drew the short straw to do the media round this am . He’s actually doing well in v difficult circumstances #r4today

Must be very tempting for any decent hardworking Labour (or Tory) councillor who didn’t think they were facing an election in 3 months time, but are now expecting to lose to the appalling populist hard right Reform/hard left Greens, to just throw in the towel #r4today

Starmer is right to raise defence spending to 3% by 2029. This will however cost circa £15 billion a year, equivalent to 2p on income tax. Or significant cuts to public spending. The small welfare cuts Starmer u-turned on last year would only have raised £ 5 billion pa. Hard choices #r4today

“There’s no obvious candidate. Even without her tax issues, there’s this idea that Rayner is Labour’s Liz Truss, which is very accurate.” Keir Starmer gets stay of execution as leadership rivals squabble www.thetimes.com/article/4426...

Good to hear Dr Cass taking the moderate “centrist” stance on trans issues . The extremists on both ends of the argument are utterly toxic, as in so many aspects of life #Bbclaurak

Always weird to hear charlatan Reformers like Jake Berry criticise the Conservative government they supported . Bit like that snake oil populist Polanski criticising the “austerity” implemented by the Tory/LibDem government he supported and tried to stand as a candidate for 🙄 #Bbclaurak
