Invest in #greeneconomy not airports, #proportionalrepresentation. Everyone is a 1st class person! Everyone has their own "obvious"! If all vested interest groups worked together we could have have decent standards for EVERYBODY.

The audacity of the Conservative Party. They destroyed the country in their 14 years in power then two years later pop up and say they have all the answers. I loathe these charlatans #bbclaurak

Can any producers at #newsnight tell me the last time that GB News invited a BBC journalist on to one of their programmes? Or is this more of a one-way type of arrangement?

#Newsnight Tom Harwood of #GBNews clearly hasn't seen the national opinion polls, lately. Your team, Reform UK Ltd, ain't doing so well, anymore, Thomas.

Israel has no legitimate right over the UK Jerusalem Consulate, which predates the creation of Israel & operated throughout the Irgun terror campaign. No mention from Nick. #r4today

Politics is about priorities and choices, the tories always chose to prioritise the already well off at the expense of the most vulnerable #Newsnight

@paullewismoney.bsky.social says avoiding IHT is easy: spend (or giveaway) your cash before you die. If offspring are left large sums it is a DISINCENTIVE for them to use their talents productively. A UK without IHT wld revert to feudal system. Helping low paid is higher priority!. #politicslive

There is an inaccuracy in policy on free child care. Not income but adjusted net income that must be under £100k ie after deducting gross pension conts; cld be as high as £160k. If promotion takes you just over, tiny increase in conts will avoid problem. Do your homework Kemi. #politicslive #cpc26

At Cable Street, 90 years ago, the people of London’s East End fought Mosely’s fascists and were successful. Unfortunately, the fascists are back. And, as Tony Benn reminded us, the same battles have to be fought over and over again.

Claims that adapting triple lock will save £15bn pa I wld estimate £5 bn bn but hey ho. How much wld cutting the HUGE subsidy to financial services sector ie £83 bn tax relief on pension conts. Limit conts to £20k pa (£60k now) will save almost £30bn. Poor unaffected. #r4today

To an extent, offering earlier release on the grounds of good behaviour can be win-win. Help to get into employment or training makes sense and reduces reoffending. Victims deserve justice BUT they should not decide sentencing- surely needs to be objective & impartial? #r4today

Add in giving too much power to Murdoch (Times & ST) , overdoing the union reforms(some reform was vital) and instead of building partnerships in EU & looking for win-win deals, taking a confrontational, strident tack thus alienating UK from it's closest neighbours. What a legacy! #r4today

The Andy Burnham interview on #r4today, which finished around 8.35, was extraordinary, and the best I’ve heard from a PM in many years: sincere, candid, of substance, human, friendly but taking no shit from Nick Robinson and his stupid question on what Burnham’s dad might have said about nostalgia.

You'll cope; always do. My complaint is that they keep recommending books, which i often buy, and then dont get to read. (My fault) The Cavendish tomb sounds very interesting & will give it a go tho. #r4today
