Is the UK prison system prepared for reciprocal returns of British crims from foreign jails? Is a question Webb won’t ask. #r4today

Robinsons jokey tone-of-voice introducing The Greens (who have more MPs than Reform UK Ltd) is entirely as expected. #r4today

Jenrick spouting solid gold lies about crimes committed by brown β€œmigrants” effectively unchallenged by Tory Nick. What a miserable start to the week. Why do I listen to this shite? #r4today

Gen Xers who now run the western world supposedly watched harmful amounts of telly in the 70s & 80s. There may indeed be some correlation between screen time and impaired decision-making. #r4today #squareeyes

The timeline of the 'holiday' that could bring down Priti Patel In just five days, Theresa May has shifted from insisting β€˜no investigation’ is necessary – to preparing to fire her International Development Secretary

No curious questions on behalf of the listener about Patel’s very personal relationship with the Netanyahu regime I guess #r4today

Perhaps #r4today editors could ask Google’s new AI to suggest a wider range of content

Local authorities, especially in London, allow private developers to build thousands of new flats for the benefit of non-indigenous people. However, these are mostly overseas investors in the middle and far east. #r4today

Watching The Trip (1967) and just realised that Michael Crawford almost certainly based Frank Spencer’s character on Peter Fonda on acid. On Amazon prime at the moment, check it out man.

I once saw James Cleverly shopping alone in IKEA Greenwich. A day later I realised I should have asked him if he was looking for the unhinged cabinets. #r4today

Robinson should be careful with that line of questioning about the killing of desperate starving children. Might get a visit from Yvette Cooper’s antiterrorist squad. #palestineaction #r4today

Again, #r4today quotes the IDF as the correct version of events after a detailed articulate eye-witness account of many Gazan’s deaths. Imagine if the Kremlin was afforded such a right to reply after each drone attack on Kyiv.

There’s a programme on BBC1 now exposing how estate agents are dishonest money-grubbing parasites. Well I for one am shocked.
