#r4today Why is Michael Gove always on Radio 4? As for the link between local MO and constituent-what is the point? The boss of the local MP is not their constituent, it’s their party leader.

#r4today Millions of Britons trying to influence government policy is democracy. Two people purchasing it is oligarchy. This is not difficult to understand.

#wato Who is this guy defending this? This is crazy. Why isn’t he just apologising because a bunch of nutters harassed a visiting under 19 sports team.

Chris Philp disagrees with sanctions on illegal West Bank products as performative. He agrees that they are illegal though, so performative statements are alright! #r4today

#r4Today Hilary Cass still managing to maintain a calm and reasonable position and navigate a rational route between the activists, that may result in us with a clearer understanding of how to manage gender dysphoria in young people. Hats off to her.

Suella Braverman’s incoherent rant still managed to punch all those right wing populist taglines. Was she reading off a list? #r4Today

#R4Today “a passionate opponent of peat”; what a ludicrous way to describe someone who is pointing out that when the real consequences of climate change are here, it’s not premature to demand the real changes necessary.

#r4Today I know that The Today programme is largely about gossip, but do any serious people believe that this Mandelson story is important?

#r4today As the SNP look like they might win a fifth election might it be possible for The Today programme to consider the possibility that they could have done a good job!

#r4Today Not sure this resident doctor BMA rep is doing himself any favours dodging a straight question.

#bbcR4Today The reality is that the ethicists, the politicians and the religious leaders have let us down. What are they there for if not to address the real issues of the day, rather than shirking from them.

#bbcr4Today Ezra Cohen says the US made a small request. It is not small. They’ve been bounced into a war and want to bounce us into it too. We should be clear that that is not how we conduct global politics and they’d be better off learning that.

Nick Robinson desperate to make it about race when it comes to the Green win, won’t even allow the rejection of Racism be a reason for Reform’s loss. Has he got short term memory loss. #r4Today

DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 27/02/2026

Nick Robinson is doing his usual. Anyway, if we are talking about influencing South Asian constituents, aren’t they the same race as Modi. Race is a poor way to divide people, but it’s even poorer to call ethnicity, religious and political choice racial characteristics. #BBCr4Today

#WATO Andrew is a disgusting creep, but is never going to be king. Look at the solemnity with which this is dealt with in parliament. Compare it to the absurd sabotage of the Assisted Dying Bill. If only politics could grow up and be useful.

DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

#R4Today Politics does not exist for the amusement of journalists. We want some problem solving.

#BBCToday Journalists interviewing journalists is just silly. Let’s hear the science debate.

#r4today The “testosterone fuelled” New Labour!? Bizarre framing of this.

We rejected Europe, the USA rejected us and now we must reject China. This isn’t going to work and the Tories know that. #WorldTonight

#r4Today Interesting inadvertent admission by Nikki da Costa: no disagreement will be tolerated by her side. The House of Lords is not democratic.

#R4Today Without the slightest bit of self awareness Gove describes self awareness in politics as a rationed item. Whatever his Charles Ryder obsession with Tory Brideshead, Gove is a Reform destroyer, not just of that institution, but our country.

DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 10/01/2026

#BBCToday Why is Gove still in public life? He is responsible for making us weaker through Brexit and yet declares that we will only be listened to if we are strong. He is the least self aware of politicians.

Fred Fleitz on #WATO having a weird attack of the vapours.

Heartbreaking listening to Thomas Hann on #WATO and it fills you with despair for peace.

#R4Today The behaviour of the anti-democratic House of Lords over the Assisted Dying Bill is shocking.

DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 06/12/2025

#BBCToday Why am I hearing Michael Gove on the radio again. The biggest truth: You can be a catastrophe in British politics as long as you have good chat.

#r4today Food prices going up because of Brexit. The most entirely predictable consequence of that daft decision. I remember them promising cheaper food.

#r4AntiSocial is one of the most brilliant programmes on the radio. All the hysteria gets cut out.

Nick Robinson asking what are Palestinian civilians supposed to do? You tell them to move location for safety and then kill them where they move to, you tell them to go somewhere to get food and kill them there. The Israeli spokesmen had no answer. #r4today

#LiveAid David Bowie demanding that there is a live aid event for all troubles. A Palestine liveAid incoming?

DrMacAndDog @iainmacandog.bsky.social · 11/07/2025

#r4today Jeremy Bowen nailed it today. In all the previous Israeli wars there was a tipping point at which the number of civilians killed by the Israelis was intolerable and the Americans called a halt. Neither Biden nor Trump has called a halt. Who knows where this ends.

Zonal pricing going because it means that the South pays more for energy, where it costs more. These continuous perverse subsidies are what makes Britain so unequal. To claim it’s being ditched to prevent inequality is the final absurdity.

What do we think?🤔 Hmm…. A Daily Mail headline so clearly designed to make you furious. Being shared by salivating Tory MPs who love a good rage farming story! So, what’s going on here? Let’s take a look!👀 🧵 1/13

Is The Brutalist unintentionally ironic or is it deliberately undermining Israel?
