#R4Today For the first time in my lifetime, we seem to have a proper #Human as #PM. #Nick, you need to butt out, stop trying to intrude and let him be himself.

#R4Today Oh dear, #Nick is now doing an impression of #Burnham's Dad. Give up son!

011

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 12h

#R4Today Is #Nick now doing impressions? (They're not very good!)

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 12h

#R4Today The confusing thing about the #Burnham speech was that it was in plain English, discussed the real life problems facing real people AND the sacrifices we will have to make to resolve them. Are we sure he's a #politician?

#R4Today The irony of the #Fairford incident is that there wouldn't be any dodgy dealings with #Petrol if #Trump and #Netanyahu hadn't started their war on #Iran which has created a global recession

042

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 13h

#BBCR4Today If the #FairfordFive are simply #Petrol spivs who reported themselves to the police, how come #Trump "already knew about them" as he claims?

#BBCNews Why are we even considering scrapping the #TripleLock? #Pensioners contributed all their lives, as a percentage of pay, so inflation-adjusted. It's crazy that #StatePension is paid from current money. We need to set up and pay #pensions from a Sovereign Fund and respect our senior citizens

#BBCR4Today The outburst by #Argentine #PresidentMilei against #Britain over the #OilExploration off #Falklands is mis-directed - the companies involved are owned / controlled by #Israel

#BBCLauraK #Philp and his #Tory ideas would be fine in an economy run for #Billionaires like #USA but we in #Europe believe in high quality #Healthcare, #Education and #Housing for everyone.

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

#BBCLauraK No-one living under the #Heathrow flight path wants a #3rdRunway! The noise from about 4:30AM from large incoming planes is seriously bad for health. We need less not more.

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

#BBCLauraK What's common to the crises in #Football, #Water and #CareHomes? They're all owned by #PrivateEquity and run for the benefit of already wealthy owners rather than customers and the nation's welfare

052

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

#BBCLauraK #BurnhamInterview Another part of the #AdultCare problem is that so many #CareHomes are now owned by #PrivateEquity whose first concern is for their profits rather than the health and welfare of their residents

041

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

#Trump criticises the #Chagos deal saying "Suddenly people show up claiming ownership from decades or centuries ago - ridiculous" Yet he supports #Israel whose claim on land in #Palestine depends on exactly the same flimsy argument.

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

#R4Today #Nick (speaking over #WesStreeting) "Let me finish the point and then I'll give you a chance to respond". What's this 'I'll give you a chance?"A) you #Nick are the conductor not the orchestra. B) We're here to listen to the answers not extensions to the questions!

#R4Today Er, is this #BBCImpartiality? Representatives of the #ManchesterJewishCommunity on both sides of the microphone criticising the timing of #UKGovernmentSanctions on illegal #WestBankSettlements

#R4Today #SpencerBook Is there a less edifying sight than #PiersMorgan doing righteous indignation?

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

#BBCLauraK If #Ratcliffe says #Britain is "on the slide" - perhaps a popular phrase in #Monaco - he should try living in #Trump's #America where "the slide" looks a whole lot better than the collapse of morals, truth and decency they're living through

020

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

#BBCLauraK What a morning for hypocrisy! We've had #JimRatcliffe moaning from #Monaco and now the multi-millionaire #Sting dressed as working class!!

040

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

#BBCLauraK #ZannyMintoBeddoes says the #Welfare bill must be cut. Pensioners on benefits already can't afford the basics like FOOD and HEAT. It's so easy to make dogmatic statements on TV but has she any concept of the reality? Or of the consequences of her suggestions?

130

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

#BBCLauraK #JimRatcliffe sends a message from his tax haven that everyone will leave #Britain. Does hypocrisy get any better than that?

021

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

#JimRatcliffe says he's lost confidence in the #UK. And vice versa

010

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

#R4Today Isn't the #Sheeran/Macklemore discussion less about whether gig-goers are political and more about the ownership of stadia? #Kraft is well known for his support for #Israel and maybe can't tolerate talk in favour of #Palestine

220

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

#R4Today Bearing in mind that #Charles3 was cheating on #Diana from the beginning, his latest words seem more like image protection than factual recall

020

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

#R4Today #ElanCarr of the #IsraeliAmericanCouncil says the words #FreePalestine are a #BloodLibel and a "Call for the extermination of #JewishPeople". This shows us all the level of intransigence faced by #Palestinians and makes it essential for them to be #FREED from their oppressors

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

#BBCR4Today #JustinWebb gives us an insight into his inspirations - #Trump, #BobMonkhouse...Odd pairing but both clowns

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

#R4Today #Trump says the only control needed on #AI is a #STRONG, #SMART #PRESIDENT". Since we have the exact opposite, his words tell us we're in even more trouble than we knew

050

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

#BBCNews #Trump says that the only control needed on #AI is a "STRONG AND SMART PRESIDENT". Given that the incumbent is the weakest, most stupid and self-absorbed in history, we are clearly in far more trouble than anyone thought.

030

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

#Trump's supposed peace envoy blames #Ukraine for the war continuing because "they don't want to surrender their land to #Russia". No shit #Jared!

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Whether the #£72m #Farage donations are legal or not misses the point - politicians are meant to represent their #CONSTITUENTS not their #PATRONS. #Reform are taking us back to the days of #RottenBoroughs

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

#PMQs What a contrast between the politicking questions from #KemiBadenoch and the statesmanlike answers from #AndyBurnham. Have we finally got a real leader? Looks as if we might!!

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

#R4Today #JustinWebb asked #EdMilliband about the word #Genocide in relation to Israel and then quoted #SimonSchama as if he is an impartial umpire on the issue. He’s not. As it says in the #JewishChronicle he’s a “Proud Zionist.” Poor reporting - #BBC should be better than this.

051

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

#R4Today #EdMilliband sounds like the reasoned voice of humanity, especially compared to #JustinWebb expounding the ambitions of #Netanyahu and #Israelis in favour of a greater #Zionist state.

091

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

#R4Today The UK #ChiefRabbi says that sanctions against #IsraeliSettlers risks increasing #Antisemitism in #Britain. He may be right - only may be - but that has to be weighed against the elimination of #Palestinians. Should we allow #Palestine to suffer for fear of offending people here?

031

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

#R4Today When you listen to #MikeHuckabee, you need to appreciate that he's a #SouthernBaptist and therefore a fervent supporter of #Zionism.

040

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

#R4Today If #USAmbassadorHuckabee can't even bring himself to accept that #Palestine is #Occupied, he's the wrong man in the wrong job

030

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

#R4Today In response to #AmbassadorHuckabee, yes we in the UK are prepared to buy elsewhere the products we get from #Settlers in #OccupiedPalestine

#R4Today Whilst its admirable that #Charles3 wants #HarryandMeghan to live like normal people, its a shame he couldn't persuade #Edward&Kate to send their son to a school other than the one for the most privileged

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

#R4Today It's always amusing to hear the headline-seeking former #JusticeMinister #Buckland criticising the #Justice system! Why didn't he try to improve it when he was in office?

091

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

#BBCR4Today #Cleverley is clearly making up his answers. He's giving up on Government because he can see that the #Tories will never be in power again and he sees #MayorofLondon as his last opportunity of power. We don't need another chancer - London has learned from the #Boris experiment

062

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

#Burnham's idea of putting "Victims in control" of sentencing could simply lead to sentencing by revenge. And what happens with miscarriages of justice like #Malkinson and #PostOffice? The answer lies in less populism and better quality #Justice.

#R4Today #WestBankSettlements #UK and all civilised countries should impose complete trade and travel bans on #Israel if they go ahead with #E1 and all other settlements in #Palestine

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

#R4Today Speaking for #Israel, #DavidMencer says the #Settlers have a legit claim to the #WestBank because some #Jews lived there a few thousand years ago. On that basis, all humanity would own East Africa! Nowadays, land ownership is founded on title deeds, which the #Settlers don't have.

040

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

#R4Today Oh dear, #DavidMencer, #IsraeliSpokesman is citing people from thousands of years ago to support #Settlers claim to murder and commit land theft from #Palestinians. #Israel should learn to live inside its legit borders, determined by the #UN, under which #Israel came into being.

040

JohnSears01.bsky.social @johnsears02.bsky.social · 14/08/2026

#R4Today. The #Israeli government spokesman says " #Israel is a land of law and order" Unfortunately, they are not laws that any other country recognises

#BBCR4Today The most disturbing thing about #LeeAnderson is that there are apparently some people who think he speaks for them.

#BBCR4Today #Farage says he didn't attend the #Clacton #ByElection result because he "Didn't want to be demeaned by Nobodies!" Interesting. Who DOES he want to be demeaned by? I'm sure there are lots of people willing to oblige!

#BBCR4TodayWhy interview #PCHarper'sMum? Anyone with empathy doesn't need to hear her to understand her grief. The issue here is #PrisonCapacity. Tugging at heart strings doesn't solve that.

#BBCR4Today #Trump thinks firing #Infantino would be a "terrible mistake". Of course he does - his family wanted to buy into the #FIFAWorldCup. The last thing #football needs is more #American #PrivateEquity snouts in the trough.

#R4Today #FleurHassan does a wonderful PR job for #Palestine - she perfectly expresses the intolerance of #Zionists towards everyone else and denies the rights of #Palestinians to live in their homeland.
