We need more homes suitable for older people which don't have huge service payments attached. Then we'll have homes people can stay in for longer and less demand on the care sector. No sign of that around our way. #r4today

Manchester City should be demoted to the Isthmian League North Division 1. Walthamstow FC are waiting for them. #r4today www.walthamstowfc.com/match/waltha...

Labour needs to make it very clear that people who only have a state pension to live on won't be worse off with a care sector run along NHS lines. #r4today

Surely people who don't need a triple lock pension would prefer instead not to have to pay in full for their care home stay and thus have some money to pass on to their usually poorer children. #r4today

It's not just flood risk in the future we need to worry about with global warming. Subsidence caused by extreme dry weather is causing a big increase in insurance claims *now*, especially in clay areas like London. #r4today

No mention of Serco in that report on tagging failures on #r4today. Why not talk about the failures of the company responsible?

There's free university education in other parts of the UK too Andy Burnham. Why not make that fairer too? #r4today

I wasn't sure about devolution, but when you've got Reform councils closing care homes and nurseries, I think maybe devolution is a good way of making it even clearer the damage they do. #bbclaurak

Burnham is a much better performer than Starmer. A good change for Labour. #bbclaurak

I'm not a Burnham fan, but he's coming across as genuinely concerned to improve the country. And not prepared to take nonsense from #bbclaurak.

Do we think we'd ever get to the stage where GB News would refuse to cover the antics of a PM Farage? #r4today

Carissa Veliz bang on. If the planner of a heist can be caught they'd be prosecuted as well as the people carrying out the heist. In this case it's perfectly obvious who's doing the planning. They're culpable. #r4today

Good to hear Daniel Thomas described as far-right on #r4today. A shame the BBC News website still can't manage it.

Before the 2010 general election my old dad said "we should ask the Tories if they've printed the food tickets yet." It's taking a while, but they're definitely getting there. I'm not sorry he's not alive to see it. #r4today

Emma Barnett sounding tough on work sickness in this interview on #r4today when she had 12 weeks off to recover from an operation that the NHS recommends 6 weeks recovery for. Self awareness wouldn't go amiss.

I only bake cakes for birthdays and as it was my son's yesterday I baked Nigella's vegan chocolate cake which she describes as sumptuous. It was. So much so we've only managed to eat a quarter of it. No way I'd offer some to obnoxious Emma Barnett though. #r4today

Chris Mason sounding whiny "we weren't in first class on the plane" and sneery "Burnham was only a mayor until recently", but can't muster similar against Trump. Tiresome. #r4today

If Daniel Thomas's supporters really are all builders, maybe it explains why the government's plan to build more social housing isn't on target. #r4today

#r4today announcement of Burnham's new centre to counter disinformation comes with a question about whether this endangers free speech. Does the BBC think free speech includes the right to spread lies and disinformation?

We could have had: German elections Russian election Air traffic control problems (again) Young people's mental health review etc. on #politicslive Instead it's yet more royal nonsense. Why has the BBC given up on current affairs?

Life might not seem much different from the 70s for the likes of privately educated Justin Webb, but for comp kids of the same age as him, the idea of all, regardless of qualifications, being able to go straight into a job from school has gone. Then there's housing... #r4today

Heidi Alexander didn't point out that union members have to choose to pay a political levy. It's an important point that people have the choice not to donate to Labour as union members. #bbcqt

People don't understand or even view negatively the phrase "net zero" because people like the presenters on #r4today don't challenge the Reform types when they say "net stupid zero."

If the government won't change the law to ban huge donations from individuals, you have to ask yourself why. It can't be because they're worried about funding from the unions because they're made up of many people who have to individually opt in to donating. #r4today
