Webb's line of questioning to Darren Jones on the US-Israel/Iran war was all from the perspective of the Tories-Reform. Shouldn't the BBC have some balance in their interviews? #r4today

Melania said: “A nation that makes learning sacred protects its books, its language, its science and its mathematics,”

She'd be shocked if she spoke to librarians and scientists in the US wouldn't she? Those that haven't already left the country of course.

Wonder how long Reform will keep up their "net stupid zero" silliness now? #r4today

So now it turns out we are prioritising tax exiles above all else as Yvette Cooper is outlining on #r4today

The problem with thinking there'll be a revolution in Iran is only one side has weapons and it's not the pro-democracy side. #r4today

Just wondering if Isaac Herzog and Ezra Cohen would have been less arrogant and obnoxious if they'd been interviewed by a man on #r4today

I'm not sure British people will appreciate the defensive nature of the strikes on Iran any more than the Iranian government clearly has. #r4today

Tom Tugendhat telling us we should be protecting British tax exiles in Dubai. Sorry mate, we haven't got enough tax money to spend on that.

"Will Iranian people take to the streets?"

Would you do that when your country is being bombed?

It really pisses me off when the Tories moan about benefits spending when we gave billions to them and their mates during Covid. That's the benefits spending we're suffering from.

They're so weird aren't they?

We've had Labour, Reform and the Greens on #r4today this morning, but no sign of the official opposition. Is Kemi doing a shift in McDonalds in preparation for her joyous full-time return?

Shouldn't the 8.10 slot be given to the Greens today?

Reform guy seems to be saying the Greens campaigned on a "woke" agenda and they're only now talking about "ordinary" issues. Shooting himself in the foot there. Maybe people like "woke" issues and not racist boll***.

That happened a while ago mate.

Here we go, the usual rubbish from Nick Robinson about billionaires leaving the country. Let them go. But they can never come back and neither can three generations of their families and they certainly can't send their kids to UK private schools. Still want to go? #r4today

Are there no Reform or Tory representatives available to react to their defeats? #r4today

I thought Chris Curtis came across well there. Sounded frustrated by the lack of progressive policies. Surprising given he's worked for Labour Together. #r4today

Strangely he doesn't seem to think it's a disaster for Reform.

I fail to understand the relevance of Nelson's victory to this commentary on the changes to the Gibraltar border checks. #r4today

No-one on #r4today is mentioning the student vote which is pretty sizeable in that constituency. Look at the Greens policy on student financing and by unsurprised by the shift to them.

There's an assumption that family voting only happens in minority ethnic communities, and yet my sister-in-law (white English) says "I have to vote the same way as my husband otherwise it cancels his vote." 🙄 #r4today

I wonder if (just as Tories have moved to Reform) we'll get Labour MPs crossing the floor to the Greens now. Might be the best way to keep their seats - especially in places like London. #r4today
