There seems to be no shortage of idiots willing to chuck shedloads of money at Robinson to fund his lifestyle.

The answer to the question 'who decides where the line is drawn' is obviously Nigel Farage. Freedom of speech is paramount unless somebody says something he doesn't like. #bbcaq

He's revealed himself countless times, especially on #newsnight. Still they invite him.

5 seconds. It was truly awful. #wato

I thought Kent was still reeling from Brexit disruption, yet its residents have voted in what is still essentially the Brexit party. Baffling.

Montie specialises in making a fool of himself and wasted no time here. He seems to be telling us he went out canvassing for Reform telling people they have no policies to fix the country's problems. Well that's what he told us! #bbcaq

Huge problem with Sarah Montague's intro to this story. She says market chaos 'it seems' is caused by Trump's tariffs. Worse, quotes him saying 'billions from tariffs already flowing in from other countries'. Huge disservice to listeners not calling out that nonsense. #wato

According to BBC: The top 5 was cars, at £9.0bn, followed by medicinal and pharmaceutical products (£6.6bn), mechanical power generators (£4.6bn), scientific instruments (£2.4bn), and aircraft (£2.2bn).

They are also attempting to link it to the events at Southport, which also sets off a few klaxons.

It's a revelation on Trump/Ukraine, but he's a work in progress on the rest!

Strong agree.

They seem to have decided it's better to be on the same side as the overwhelming majority of the British public, although they can't resist nit-picking Starmer's every move.

You need to give your suppliers a call. They shouldn't make any sound.

Tell us what you regularly listen to.

We're waking up to a new US/Russia axis Why Trump clings to Putin.

Trump could have pushed for an end to the war in Ukraine without becoming actively hostile to Ukraine. Instead, he has imbibed Putin’s lies. Have written about the emergence of a new US/Russia axis, where it comes from and the staggering implications for Europe.

Liar Johnson telling us to ignore the lies of fellow liar Trump. Despicable.

I've also heard a bit of 'Trump suggests...' on news bulletins when referring to things he's actually said. Infuriating.

To keep aligned with Reform.

Never thought I'd see the day when I had DH on notifications. I think he's even badgered LOTO into action.

As Terry Thomas would say: sort of chap who sleeps in his vest.

Hard to comprehend the number of supporters he (and Putin) have on this side of the Atlantic. Just incredible.

Would you care to speculate how or when this all ends? Or is it too scary to contemplate?

I'm not sure the PM will achieve anything by visiting Trump. In fact, it could be counter-productive but I guess he's damned if he does..., etc.

BBC news still can't rid themselves of the habit of saying Trump 'suggested' something outrageous. He didn't suggest it, he said it! Having said that, #wato was harder hitting than I was expecting.

It's extraordinary to witness the screeching u-turn from cosplaying WWII veterans to shouty Lord Haw-Haws.

This is the the sort of thing that makes life difficult for those of us who wish to continue supporting the BBC.

Although the PM might incur the wrath of Mr Speaker for not announcing a change in policy to Parliament?

So if they were in NATO you'd be happy with our involvement and the funding that would be required?

Agree, it seems to have dated badly during the day.
