#bbcqt eh ! Morgan just said free speech is the right to be offensive as you like short of inciting violence and then criticises people for comparing Trump to Hitler as the reason for Kirks’ killing. The man is a two-faced idiotic moron

#bbcqt Small boats are an irrelevance. Net migration is down around 50% since Labour came to power. The small boats represent less than 5% of that figure. Those are the FACTS but you won’t see them reported in the right-wing client media who are gaslighting the public to engender hatred of ‘other’

@manairport #manchesterairport #terminal3 Trying to settle an argument as to which terminal flight FR3446 from Palma de majorca arrived at last night at 1:26. Can anyone on the actual flight tell me ? Someones said it was changed to T1, but not sure I believe them

youtu.be/baR4logaaOQ @mrjamesob.bsky.social #jimmykimmel #LA Cracking monologue by Jimmy here. A serious piece of journalism in the great satirical tradition

#newsnight the single parent lady with 3 children in a 1 bedroom flat on 45K who is effectively in poverty is tragic WE NEED MORE CHILDREN TO BE BORN. How the fu&k does that happen if we don’t support these people properly. Maybe not benefits, but affordable housing and childcare

#bbcr4today #liverpool Yet again the govt rep on R4 Today starts off with uniquivical, scraping praise for the police in relation to last nights terrible events in Liverpool. So often we then find police failings. Why do that ? just wait

@mrjamesob.bsky.social #railways #nationalisation OMG So the FIRST Great British Railways service as South Western is Nationalised is….. Wait for it….. partly provided via a rail-replacement bus. Oh the irony ! Poor old Starmer must be spitting feathers at the optics of that !

#bbct I see there’s no actual explanation as to why Starmer seems to have transformed himself into a massive racist

#pope #conclave I’m hoping the Cardinals get a wiggle on with electing a new pope because at the moment bears shitting in the woods are doing ALL the heavy lifting when stuff is plainly true

#popefrancis #popefuneral #trump #zelenski Pope, champion of the poor and the excluded, is finally laid to rest and in other news Trump and Zelenski reach the final of the 2025 staring competition

#BBCDesertislanddiscs Donna Ockenden. Oh my god ! what a life, makes me feel utterly useless

#newsnight Having watched Fred the republican slag off a democrat senator for merely being alowed to have her say makes me realise that now watching Trump politicians being challenged about Trump is giving EXACTLY the same vibe as watching a Russian politician being challenged on Putin. Damn !

#newsnight So the Republican wanker has decided to waste most of his time by slagging off a democratically elected senator for merely being given a platform ! how about just making your argument you utter tosser

#bbcqt I’d be willing to bet that by April next year Trump is calling Musk a ‘bad person’

@mrjamesob.bsky.social #kierstarmer. Just for context, if you look on CNN US edition front-page now. Starmer and Trump is 6th story behind the likes of protestors at GOP town halls, Gene Hackman and Pentagon transgenders. Starmer is just ‘noise’ in the US, what he does doesn’t matter

#BBCLauraK I know its REALLY childish, but as Kemi is talking we keep getting an occasional short farting noise !

#BBCLauraK Re Southport Badenoch is saying it’s not all about evidence, it’s about feelings ! Really ! WTF ! How do you run a criminal justice system, a country, or in fact a bloody lemonade stall like that !

#bbcr4today Re new Dylan biopic. Nah ! sure its great but nothing like the mighty National Theatre of Brents Iconic Icons drama-doc about the man ia802806.us.archive.org/9/items/grea...

#bbcr4today #jeremyhunt Oh Jeremy ! when talking directly after a lady who lost her baby due to NHS failings on you’re watch did you really just describe giving birth as ‘a team SPORT’ ! Oh dear !

#bbcr4today ‘You can take the business horse to water but you can’t make it invest’ ! Straight out of Yes Minister from the chairman of the CBI there

@jessphillipsmp.bsky.social Just wanted to tell you I’m honoured to have you as part of MY government. I consider myself a good judge of character and I feel ALL of the women in my life are that bit safer and that bit better represented because YOU have chosen to enter public service

#newsnight Anyone else think Musk is reverting to type having been born and raised wealthy and white until 18 in Apartheid South Africa

#newsnight #nadinedorries The only platform Dorries should have access to is one she’s sweeping

#newsnight ‘So Dorries, when did you decide to call for a national enquiry’ ? No answer as obviously she decided to when Musk caused a stir

#bbcr4 #mishalhusain so farewell then mishal, we shall miss..shal you a lot, husain is much harder to make into another word, sad that…..E J Thribb

#bbcqt Why isn’t Wes reminding Morgan that when Labour last left government 14 years ago, satisfaction levels with the NHS were at the highest they’d ever been

#bbcqt Planning laws in this country are utterly ridiculous. We have so many opportunities to stop any development that nothing gets done. Our EU friends must laugh at us

#gmb So the reporter on the murder of the US health company CEO says the suspect ‘has no history of mental health or drugs use’ Why cant reporters get their head around it being ‘mental health issues’ NOT just ‘mental health’

#bbcqt I’d be willing to bet that by April next year Trump is calling Musk a ‘bad person’

#bbcqt Farage getting confused there that Elon Musk gives a shit what is posted on Facebook ! Hilarious! he is SUCH a nob !

#bbcqt she we’ve just had someone actually working in the energy industry who knows what he’s talking about supporting transition to green power and Fiona…… basically ignores his contribution and doesn’t challenge farrage to counter it ! un-fucking-believable!

#bbcqt Mr red jumper handing Farage his arse there

#bbcqt oh for gods sake, not again ! the people claiming asylum who cant work until processed are NOT illegal migrants, they cant be until they are processed. If that happens and they refuse to leave, then they are illegal, NOT before

#bbcqt Loving the Tory stooge and Farage ripping each other to shreds over immigration. One is denying responsibility for the utter ballsup the Tories presided over and the other is a raging racist. let them fight, they are irrelevant!

#bbcqt How can a Tory after 14 years of rule, excuse themselves by saying ‘ oh yes we got migration policy wrong’ and expect to be given another chance anytime before hell freezes over

#bbcqt So Farage is still asking everyone to ignore the ballsup that was, and is, Brexit ! ‘its done’ he says. Yep, it is, and its a disaster and can be undone

#bbcr4today How much more R4 can you get than a recipe fir morning porridge with tahini in it !

The #jaguar rebrand makes me think they’ve employed Siobhan from Perfect Curve, here is her explaining her BBC rebranding ideas youtu.be/uUzdGaepo0M

He’s great, saw him in the middle of the day minor billing on stage at the Deer Shed festival in July and thought wow

#bbcqt I don’t see we should attach any more weight to views on assisted dying of people from established religions than those who say they follow the Jedi principles, scouting rules or indeed the morals of the tellytubbies

#bbcqt no, I’m sorry this is definitely Marcus Brigstockes’ brother from another mother

#bbcqt I think until we stop talking about people ‘passing’ or ‘at rest’ or ‘departing’ or ‘lost the battle’ or ‘going to eternal rest’ or ‘falling asleep’ or ‘left us’ or and just say they died, we’re not going to deal with death properly

#bbcqt I struggle and flip/flop on the assisted dying debate. I do wonder if there are plenty of steps we can take BEFORE that comes in. Maybe reducing legal action against those assisting people to end their lives. Formalising ability of doctors to medicate beyond standard doses to alleviate pain

#bbcqt the only way I can see of properly keeping track of who is entering/leaving and is in the country is having a proper identity card

#bbcr4today our new astronaut sounds fabulous. My only criticism is her upward inflection at the end of sentences. The others are going to be in a spacecraft for months with that ‘feature’

#politicslive I notice the ginormous Brexit elephant in the room wasn’t mentioned when the Luton car plant closure came up ! Utterly bizarre

#politicslive Helen Watley says UK had best growth in G7 under Tories. Yes, for 1 period ( which was a dead-cat bounce) the WHOLE of the rest of their tenure we barely grew !

#politicslive what is the point of trying to get a government minister to say there will be NO tax rises for the WHOLE of the next term, 4 to 5 years! That’s obviously a ridiculous question

@mrjamesob.bsky.social regarding whether guidance from a faith being your stated reason for voting against, or for, assisted dying. A simple thought experiment throws light. What if a politician said that their belief in the Jedi principles from Star Wars governed how they would vote ?

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Wow ! Todays Reith lecture about violence is a real gem. Jack apologising to the mother he killed in group therapy brought me up short
