Interesting decision by BBC Editors to insert Trump's rant about stopping immigration into Europe into the 7am news on R4. #r4today
I wish this IT industry woman would stop talking about "on-boarding customers". She's not working for a shipping company. #LBC
Heard on the news that Trump was arriving at Turnberry to play around. The dirty dog's been playing around all his life.
Keir Starmer promised people in Liverpool he wouldn't speak to The Sun. He now not only writes articles in The Sun but has just appointed a former Sun Editor to a senior Government communications role.
📢Football analogy with Jesus and the Gospels klaxon! #ThoughtForTheDay #r4today
Glad that #r4today this morning had an expert to correct the inaccurate nonsense they were talking yesterday about email age verification. But shocking that head of OFCOM wasn't on top of her brief yesterday. She's clearly out of her depth.
Head of OFCOM isn't explaining this well. Apparently a verification company can see if an email address is being used for things like banking, DVLA and other adult activities. As for Amol Rajan, this is all explained on the BBC's own website. #r4today @BBCr4today
Disgustingly brief item on Cleo Laine's death on BBC TV News with one of the greatest singers the UK has produced who could fill venues like New York's Carnegie Hall described as 'a frequent guest on light entertainment shows and comedy programmes'. 🤦♂️ #BBCNews @BBCNews
BBC reporter said he was awaiting Trump's arrival in Aberdeen standing on a grassy bank. Just as well he didn't say it was a grassy knoll. #bbcpm #BBCNews
Evri "ran into an issue" delivering my package. The issue was that my business was closed. But I'm not a business. I'm a private home and I was here. If I'd known #Evri was the delivery firm I wouldn't have bought the fucking thing. 😠
Party democracy is such an alien concept to journalists and to the existing parties that they can't get their heads round the idea that the new party's name will be chosen at a conference in the autumn. #YourParty
Amol Rajan's salary is in the range £310,000 to £314,999 paid from public money. How many lives has he saved this year? #r4today

The majority of young children who have seen online porn have done so accidentally claims this lady peer. Well they would say that wouldn't they? #r4today
In case you're interested, Daniel Elkeles, CE of NHS Providers, who is on #itvnews condemning the Resident Doctors as irresponsible is paid a cool £240,000 a year. #NHS #ResidentDoctors #BMA
Remarkable how Evan Davis changed tack in the space of ten minutes. He began by explaining correctly that 'Your Party' is just a holding name, then said it was all a mess because first it was called 'Your Party' and then it wasn't. #bbcpm
Performative stupidity from Paul Brand. Not the worst weapon that they'll use against the new party but one of the most pathetic.
Hang on, now Jeremy Corbyn’s team say Your Party is an ‘interim name’. Not the clearest of launches.
Even a Minister on Thought For The Day says "Registry Office". But don't go looking for that on your wedding day because they're actually called a "Register Office". #Pedantry #r4today
Religious schools have always taught children lies about other religions. I went to a Catholic school in the late 50s and was shocked when my friend told me what outrageous lies his Church of England school was telling the kids about Catholics.
At my Jewish primary school & cheder, we were taught not only that Arab lives were worth less than Jewish ones, but that "Palestinians" didn't exist. Anyone who denies this is commonplace within Jewish communities is lying. Watch the film 'Israelism'.
The BBC still talking about "malnutrition" in Gaza rather than the more extreme and fatal "starvation". #bbcpm #BBCNews #Gaza
