Ambassador Mike Huckabee @GovMikeHuckabee I assure you she’s delusional. She can thank @realDonaldTrump anytime just to set the record straight.

Special Envoy Steve Witkoff @SEPeaceMissions I would like to acknowledge the vital role of the United Kingdom in assisting and coordinating efforts that have led us to this historic day in Israel. In particular, I want to recognize the incredible input and tireless efforts of National Security Advisor Jonathan Powell. 6:53 AM · Oct 13, 2025 · 657.1K Views

Is this the Overton Window?

I'm sure that there will be great focus on this attempt to claim that a Finance Director and then MD of a massive gas fire and cooker manufacturer was actually a CORGI registered fitter who would pop out at weekends for a few quid in cash to fit your fire.

history teacher in 50 years: So in September, that’s when the president signed an executive order criminalizing anti-fascism and saying all resistance would be crushed

student: oh so that’s when the whole country realized they were living under fascism

teacher: haha what? oh no lol not at all. no.

Gods were created to give sense and reason to natural events. Religions were created to control the population by fear of gods and religious leaders. The problems started when religious leaders disagreed with each other.

The BBC editorial line is immutable. The Conservative Party is the party of government, occasionally there is a temporary upset.
The problem for the Labour Party is in managing this. They turn up and answer difficult questions, the Tories don't answer them, unchallenged.

The state of BBC reporting is appalling and lazy... The Chancellor refusing to say whether something was going to be in her budget in two months time is not sinister or significant.

#r4today

Yep, Nick Robinson has created his own partial voxpop to drip feed to the #r4today audience before we hear the whole interview with the Prime Minister.

Grounghogs are more stubborn than groundhogs. 🤦

The problem with the BBC policy of equivocation, both-siding everything, is that the acceptance of facts as a basis for discussion is at a glacial pace. Most segments on #r4today are wasted on rehearsing previous arguments, rather than new information. #GrounghogDay

Maybe Nick Robinson's taxi driver should watch this, as Nick seems to get his news and views clarified in the back of the cab.

It’s entered the Labour conference lexicon – but what is a snake-oil salesman? The party seems particularly keen to associate the term, which dates back to the 19th century, with Nigel Farage

The original snake oil salesman, Clark Stanley, who correctly used an apostrophe, got away with selling rubbish for 20 years, similar to Farage with his #BrexitBenefits and racism, who is still doing it.

The reality of the Gaza conflict resolution is that without an uncaring, aggressive bully like Trump, being able to threaten every participant then there wouldn't have been any progress. The paradox is that because Trump is lazy, spiteful and stupid it cannot succeed.

I suspect there are a lot of pensioners, clinging to the coattails of technology with a G3 mobile receiving texts, who will be abandoned when the G3 signal is removed.

If the Conservatives spent their time in power investing in the country, rather than looting and underfunding services and infrastructure, then perhaps Labour would have had a better inheritance to build on. #r4today presenters seem unable to voice the bleedin'obvious.

I suppose I shouldn't be too critical of Nick Robinson questioning Taxing the Rich policies of Labour when I remember his frequent vocal cries against the @conservatives.bsky.social taxing the poor with benefit freezes and sanctions, bedroom tax and two child limit. 🙄

#r4today

Perhaps if Nick Robinson prefaced the question "who are the rich?" with the bombshell that he is paid £410k a year just from the BBC, then he might have got a different and short answer.

#r4today

What a shining example to Laura Norder.

#r4today

Just an example of a frog in a saucepan, Andy. Unaware of, or forgotten, entitlement slowly accrued.

#r4today

This is how #r4today should be reporting on the Comey story, and not forget half of it, as they did

Well that's reassuring, Helen Whately is still the Helen Whately we remember so well.

We know that the US has always been at war with IKEA, but I didn't know that they have over 16,000 shock troops, with flat packed weapons, dispersed across the country.

I am so sorry, but Amol and Emma and Chris have finally broken me. If I were not so drained, I would hurl the radio out of the window.

This is an awful programme.

We, the listeners to #r4today should feel very lucky to have two of the top ten of BBC presenters working together to provide a cornucopia of inciteful, sorry insightful, knowledge and expertise to expand our understanding. A combined bargain at £14,900 a week. 🤨
