Of course people aspire to own their own homes. They've experienced dreadful private landlords - especially if they've been to university. #politicslive

I'm not sure someone who can't look after his phone has a right to lecture other people about becoming adults Lord Bethell. #politicslive

I checked which President gave Margaret Hamilton the Medal of Freedom. Of course it was Obama. ❤️ #r4today

Well done #r4today for finding a stupid racist to discuss Englishness today. Signed someone with proven English heritage back to the 1750s proud to cheer on Saka, Bellingham, Eze et al.

‘Don’t go to the US – not with Trump in charge’: the UK tourist with a valid visa detained by ICE for six weeks
Karen Newton was in America on the trip of a lifetime when she was shackled, transported and held for weeks on end. With tourism to the US under increasing strain, she says, ‘If it can happen to me, i...

Pretty sure we all had a glimpse during Burnham's first jog on camera and we know that's not true - thankfully.

Having policies that only advantage the "deserving" rich is surely a culture war of sorts. #wato

Out of touch Tories selling their inheritance tax plans as allowing people to pass on their family homes. Of course the real blocker to that for far more people is the need to pay for your care home place - something Labour is promising to resolve. #wato

Hey Mason. Inheritance Tax is deeply, deeply popular with those of us who want a working welfare state and NHS. No chance of you saying that though is there. #wato

The Tories' "Britannia Shield" by the time they've given bungs to their mates. #r4today
Label on a Peter Storm anorak saying 'Storm Shield'.

Clearly we're meant to have group amnesia and not remember the 14 years of total Tory incompetence and corruption in power. #r4today

This Tory is actually expecting us to believe that less regulation will make property developers more likely to build safer homes. As young people say "Is he on crack?" #r4today

Are we going to hear any minute now that the US (aka Oceania) is no longer at war with Eurasia and is instead at war with Eastasia? #r4today

The Tories' message seems to be we're not racist like Reform and Restore. We think *all* poorer people have to be made poorer for the sake of the rich. #r4today

Maybe they were recruited to research all those claims Badenoch made in her #bbclaurak interview.

The Tories wrecked the prison and probation services. The alternative to early release would be not giving prison sentences for new offences. Why we have to be subjected to weeks of media concentration on this is beyond me. #bbclaurak

She's desperate to get a nice little earner as a Tory MP. Lots of money not much work. #bbclaurak

Suzanne Brown @suzannebrown.bsky.social · 04/10/2026
Information for Tories: People who earn more don't work harder or show more responsibility than anyone else. My postman, refuse collectors, street sweepers etc work so much harder than Kemi Badenoch or any of the other Tory wastrels. #bbclaurak

Badenoch's performance on #bbclaurak is good news for Labour.

Tice was on #r4today on Friday morning, #bbcaq on Friday evening and now #bbclaurak. What lucky people we are. Thanks BBC. Meanwhile the NHS is steeling itself for more hypertension cases.

Badenoch assumes people who work harder earn more. Who'd be her cleaner?

Amol was first out of the Traitors because his plea that he's really good at knowing who is lying wasn't believed. I guess that shows lots of celebrities must listen to #r4today

They must have had to bus the Reform voters in from Essex to get the "correct" number then. Can't see them getting as much as 4% in Tottenham now.

Suzanne Brown @suzannebrown.bsky.social · 02/10/2026
Reform don't get 20-30% of the vote in Tottenham. They got 4%at the last election. The Greens got 19%. Why no Green rep on #bbcqt tonight ? members.parliament.uk/constituency...

I went to see the game on Saturday. It was such a pleasure to watch. Fast paced, fairly fought, skillful. Then I watched the England game...

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

Your mistake is describing defined benefits pensions as final salary ones. Final salary pensions are only one type of defined benefits scheme. And final salary pensions are not available any more in the public sector. #r4today

Suzanne Brown @suzannebrown.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
I'm not denying that, but I have friends who worked in the private sector who also have defined benefits pensions and I'm just pointing out that final salary schemes in the public sector are a thing of the distant past. #r4today

The Teachers' Pension Scheme (TPS) was a final salary pension scheme for all until 2015. #r4today

Civil Service final salary pension schemes stopped accepting new entrants from July 2007 (with the launch of the career average nuvos scheme), and final salary accrual entirely ended for all remaining active members on 31 March 2022. #r4today

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

Suzanne Brown @suzannebrown.bsky.social · 29/09/2026
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
