aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 12h#r4today so the previous tariffs limit were reached on the 2nd day of the month historically then? 000
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 13/10/2026#r4today The screen argument is either focussing school or home. What state school has the level of in school screen time being described. For most lessons it's white board at the front and then pen and paper. The question that of course isn't addressed is resourcing for teachers, libraries etc 050
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 12/10/2026#r4today Pakistan aid in the billions isn't it about 150 million. 030
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 09/10/2026#r4today so the headline is not over diagnosis then but a system which is not designed for the problem. Not that we are likely to hear that discussed very much 140
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 09/10/2026#r4today Maybe I'm misunderstanding this but it doesn't seem a case of Labour holding on. There was a period where the incumbent party would routinely get booted out. 030
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 06/10/2026#r4today why spare the shadow chancellors blushes. Set piece speech where an element shot down in discussion of reality 000
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 06/10/2026#r4today The banks can do no wrong clearly another business slot lobbying away again 000
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 06/10/2026#r4today banking the sector that required bailing out due to the financial crash that banks caused. 000
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 06/10/2026#r4today Jeffrey Archer gets way with the colourful life tag when he tried to lie to a court about paying off a prostitute. So a powerful man happy to say the rules don't apply to him 020
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 06/10/2026#r4today surely there is someone in Birmingham who can relieve Justin. 020
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 06/10/2026#r4today What a morning awaits Justin Webb croaking his way through the next 3 hours and another advert for a TV programme 000
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 05/10/2026#R4today it's interesting how Clarkson appears to have listed all the things he doesn't like that impact farmers but is strangely silent on global warming leading to failed crops 020
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 05/10/2026#r4today Not sure BT needs to speak for the regulator or the government who must have set up this deal. It would seem they were the last resort. 100
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 03/10/2026#r4today perhaps Piddington for the prison. As ever zero conversation about sentancing and what helps people not commit crimes in future 130
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 01/10/2026#r4today this isn't intended to sound as flippant as it may do but the outcry if we were told offenders can't be sent to prison because they are full would be immense. Of course we should be having a debate about sentencing and who goes to prison. 010
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 01/10/2026#r4today that's a bit odd Webb sounding disappointed at the Conservative politician making the case for the BBC 000
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 30/09/2026#r4today so is there any evidence or research into what might actually help with menopause symptoms. It's surely a sign of people wanting something to help and turning to anything even if the claims are not proven in any way. 000
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 30/09/2026#r4today and there it is the usual exceptionalism of how we should use fossil fuels as we are a small country. On that basis surely nothing gets done. 010
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 30/09/2026#r4today So he can name the geopolitical situation but not say specifically the change since the start of the year. 010
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 30/09/2026#r4today so did the EDF guy really first spot the energy crisis? It has seemed a fairly clear and likely consequence of the Iran shambles for some time. The EDF guy is effectively saying that the planet needs to put of climate change until it's economic. 130
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 30/09/2026#r4today out of interest does the CST follow up or support people to report the cases it identify and what were the outcomes. Cases of anti semitism need investigating and sanctions taken but simply talking about the actions of a government must be possible as well. 001
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 29/09/2026#r4today the triple lock electoral suicide point just highlights the ever greater imbalance that an aging electorate causes. How can a policy as problematic as this becomes untiuchable 010
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 25/09/2026#r4today the Nottingham enquiry, assuming it's the obvious one, related to issues ultimately about how we manage and deal with people with serious mental health issues. Surely this case relates to something different which relates to how bail is granted and conditions managed. 020
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 25/09/2026#r4today paper review presents usual unbalanced non critical view of the partisan press 130
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 25/09/2026#r4today or perhaps man leaves child in hope of better life knowing if separated child less likely to be sent away. Maybe or maybe not but all sorts of ways of interpreting things. 100
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 25/09/2026#r4today day after day after day of business spot giving Johnny from the city a platform to comment on government policy with no challenge. How about observing that 2008's bail out was the a result of the actions of that sectors actions and something we have not recovered from. 041
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 24/09/2026#r4today so the question is the place of alcohol in society then. There seems a fundamental misunderstanding of access to alcohol in the grounds. 010
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 23/09/2026#r4today surely the responsible employer wants to have actual contact with long term sick staff if possible as you want to support them and show that you care and that you really want them to come back It's not shouldn't be about forcing anyone in a lunatic sense 210
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 22/09/2026#newsnight that's it a 5 mins of this panel game is enough. Where are the experts and correspondents to illuminate and explain the issues in a impartial way. Getting one from the left and two from the right doesn't give you anything other than opinions. 020
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 22/09/2026#newsnight I'm not usually one to get into looks but the smug potato head of Harry Cole looming out of the screen strangely suits his views 020
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 18/09/2026#r4today It's almost as if this is Trumps plan. I'm not sure what you gain by destabilising everything. 120
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 17/09/2026#r4today how can NICE ever do it's job when it has to look at the big picture which inevitably will involve saying no when an individual treatment can deploy individual accounts. It's the same with the prostate cancer discussion where the big picture just doesn't support mass screening. 000
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 17/09/2026#r4today Earl Spencers book seems like cashing in on the private feud. A family tragedy for the family played out in public used to sell papers, books etc etc. To be clear I'd rather this just wasn't covered beyond the bizarre reaction of the country at the time which of course wasn't everyobe 040
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 17/09/2026#r4today some must be a lot longer so some must be a lot less It's averages . 110
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 17/09/2026#r4today let's pause things there and plug a podcast for the next few minutes 030
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 17/09/2026#r4today Mike Ashley engaging in dubious practices surely not. 000
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 16/09/2026@#r4today Stuart Rose can make a discussion on when an employer can legitimately decline a flexible working request sound like the storming of the barricades. He could have said not every workplace is right for flexible working or sometimes they don't fit the situation and it's fair to explain why? 000
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 16/09/2026#r4today the Letby inquiry and proposed appeal need to be separated by both the news outlets and the involved parties. The appeal should run it's course ideally without being played out as a podcasters fantasy and the inquiry viewed within the terms of its remit. 010
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 15/09/2026#r4today what is the point of this Harry and Megan piece. Picking up a Hello story. Leave them be. 050
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 15/09/2026#r4today what good does it do to use words like scared. There are very real risks with AI the irony of course being we don't use that language about the very real risks from climate change which scare me. 010
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 15/09/2026#r4today as ever the business slot a soft spot for lobbying 160
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 15/09/2026#r4today how do we keep the oil here. No one ever talks about not going on the open market. 120
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 11/09/2026#r4today why is it always "according to the ONS" if it was negative would we have the same scepticism. If we don't trust the ONS explain why and investigate it. 040
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 11/09/2026#r4today national grid discussion about how we got here but without reference to the inaction on this for many years mainly under a different political parties period in charge 101
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 10/09/2026#r4today be it Drag Race or BBC4 turning into a repeats channel if we don't fund the BBC this is what happens 000
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 10/09/2026#r4today test cricket needs to last more than 3 days. It isn't the priority for the ICC so a team has no time to adjust to alien conditions 020
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 10/09/2026#r4today I think I just heard the tourism trade guy say that it's fine for them to set the margin but no one else. 000

aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 08/09/2026#r4today Anna Foster observed something about the use of calculators and numeracy that was neither backed up with evidence or explained. The interviewee explained the approach taken and how it can read across to AI. If we are not teaching responsible use of AI then we are under preparing the young. 110
aeroplaneblue.bsky.social @aeroplaneblue.bsky.social · 04/09/2026#r4today good to hear an alternative Falklands view for a change. Imagine what that level of investment would do for any region of the UK. 000
