Now there's a chart you won't see on the #bbclaurak show.
It makes perfect sense to me Piers Morgan to bring our ship back just before Trump's war. Why should we waste our ship -a nd people - on his recklessness? #bbclaurak
Does anyone remember Liz Truss "helping people with their bills" aside from promising tax cuts to wealthy people and hence spooking the markets? #bbclaurak
Why is Kuenssberg persisting in this oil drilling line when Milliband has already explained why renewables is the only way to go? Is she in the pay of the oil industry? #bbclaurak
Labour have a pretty reasonable excuse for not solving the cost of living crisis in the form of Trump's war. The Mandelson problem was a stupid mistake that won't go away. #r4today
Yes to Katya Adler. Please not Adam Fleming. He's part of that Newscast set that sit around laughing at their own silly jokes like undergraduate politics society members. #r4today
Isn't it a bit daft creating a role called Bede Librarian when clearly the post holder isn't a librarian? #r4today

Bridget Phillipson probably thinks she's keeping in touch with the people by saying flags are an important part of national identity. Meanwhile there's a petition in Epping to have all the flags around the town removed by the council. #r4today
On one morning last week she informed us that she needed to book a dental appointment and that it had taken her a long time to read a book. I really don't need to know that. #r4today
Maybe #r4today should try to cover fewer items so we don't get halfway through a piece before going on to the next half covered item. That discussion with David Cannadine could definitely have done with a couple more minutes.
But Mandelson is (hard for some of us to believe I know) Labour and so it should have been obvious that a Republican government would use the Epstein files to weaken our government whilst hiding all the stuff on themselves. #r4today
Just checked - it was the Sunday Times Best Places to Work list. As young people would say "my bad". #r4today
A friend of mine teaches at a further education college in the Times top employers list. If you wanted a recording of a hollow laugh she's the person to ask. One manager lasted 8 days in post. #r4today
Almost as if the US has never experienced modern aerial bombing so doesn't know what effect that can have on the resolution of the population. They could have looked at e.g. Britain in the Blitz but that would require someone in the Republican movement to study history. #r4today
I didn't see PMQs yesterday, but I do wonder why we heard Badenoch on petrol prices twice but not Starmer*s retorts on the Tory and Reform U-turns on the war even once in that report. #r4today
Where to start on the barriers to women - or older people or non-white people. How do you propose to get AI to help if you don't have a diverse workforce building it? #r4today
Emma Barnett *did* seem to be suggesting that the UK can't have any influence on the war on Iran unless we join the US and Israel. And then when challenged by Darren Jones she backtracked. #r4today
But look at the people going through the doors of the tech companies to work every day. It's 95% white men under the age of 30 last time I looked. #r4today
The masters loan is 6% interest. No-one is mentioning that. #r4today
Sadly I don't think any government will listen re student loans until young people get out and vote as much as older people do. #r4today
It's a shame they didn't find someone a bit more articulate for that interview. Emma Barnett didn't help though. #r4today
I'm sure they'd let her join the US armed forces. #r4today
Also, let's not forget, the Jockey Club sponsored by Randox who made massive profits from dodgy Covid contracts. #r4today
Nick Robinson: "Trump prides himself on his ambiguity."
Really Nick? What proof have you got that this is anything more than the ramblings of an idiot.
#r4today
As Jacob Rees-Mogg is so keen on fracking he'll be happy to have some carried out on his land presumably. #politicslive
This war:
1. Is good news for Russia
2. Is bad news for our Labour government
3. Diverts from Trump's involvement with Epstein.
Seems like a good strategy as far as Trump is concerned.
#r4today
So now a Trump ally says Trump didn't give Starmer enough notice of the war. Can someone pass that message to 90% of the MSM in Britain? #r4today
As with most of the rest of the reporting on this conflict, the offence is only one way. #r4today
Hope things improve for you today Pat.
