Yes, rather a shame that the Centrica CEO, as many do, talk about solar. I enjoyed Anna saying that she couldn't do her interview outside as it was so windy. #R4today

060

That'll be a "no" then. Oh dear. #R4today

I presume, for balance, #R4today will interview a very senior executive from a wind operator rather than just the CEO of Centrica. Possibly not.

This is all true, but we need to support those who are able to change. The period of transition is hugely difficult. #R4today

Unite seems obsessed with protecting traditional O&G jobs in Aberdeen. The UK offshore wind industry currently employs 55,000+ workforce across both onshore and offshore wind sectors. We have extended ports, and we build blades and the power cables in the UK #R4today

050

I don't accept that our problem is on the supply side. An additional 11.5 GW of wind will come on stream in the next 3 years alone. That's 2.7 x Hinkley C. The demand side needs to shift electricity. It's doable. #R4today

Renewables, with batteries, ARE stable and secure. Didn't catch the chaos name, but if anything, we're better-off keeping the N Sea oil and gas when we might need it on the long-term. #R4today

Could Mr Burnham, or #bbcnews #r4today or #bbcpm remind us of the content of the ISC report on Russian interference in British politics.

041

So true. I can't help feeling that their parents' house is simply a financial asset. It's used to pay for care. Anything left is used to move the children up the property ladder or build an extension. Kemi is a performance politician. Kemi doesn't do detail. #r4today #bbcnews

I wait with bated breath to hear how Farage will explain how Reform will force/ require "other" countries to accept the asylum seekers they reject. Pop them on a destroyer and do a worldwide delivery run? #r4today

Yusef is vile. He makes it sound as if ICE and tariffs have worked in the USA. Extraordinary language. #R4today

062

This is doable in the UK as well. I wish car buyers would simply look at the cost of owning an EV. The political nonsense around Net Zero really is counter productive. #netzero

Nick "Gotcha" Robinson isn't as good a journalist as he thinks he is. #R4today

Tony Iles @tonyeye.bsky.social · 10/10/2026

It really is America First and damn everyone else. What an amoral b*st*rd he is. #R4today

Our current economic model needs rebalancing, and I have no idea how to do this. It would be great if there was a link between excess profit and the wage paid or a profit share. But unions have been trying to do this for over a hundred years! I resent subsidising Tesco's profits. #R4today

Tony Iles @tonyeye.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I'd rather Tesco pay their staff and suppliers properly than make a £3 billion profit. Paying them better would reduce, possibly only a little, the current reliance on UC. In work benefits are needed for many as the supermarkets pay do badly. 1.25m people work for UK supermarkets. #R4today

Tony Iles @tonyeye.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Chris Mason adds nothing but gossip to the political debate. #bbcnews and #R4today really must do better. Can Mr Mason give some insight as to Badenoch's complete lack of detail in her "key note" policies.

Tony Iles @tonyeye.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Petrol heada dont like EVs. They dont smell, vibrate, or go vroom. #R4today

Tony Iles @tonyeye.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

Many thanks, but we don't want you to drill for oil or gas in the North Sea. Why is #R4today promoting this?

151

Tony Iles @tonyeye.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I didn't know that. Seems Kemi isn't reading her briefing notes. I don't understand why she parrots Trump. It's not as if he's succeeding #R4today

000

Tony Iles @tonyeye.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

It's just a version of Star Wars for the MSM. Can't help feeling that Kemi will buy from the USA, or possibly isreal. #R4today

Tony Iles @tonyeye.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Badenoch continues to copy Trump. Golden/ Britannia Shield / Glove. Getting confused. #R4today

140

Sounds more of the grey zone threat from Russia. We have these biological weapons, and we can't control our labs, so Europe needs to be worried. #c4news

000

Agreed. At a very basic level, why would they want people to buy drafty houses that are increasingly expensive to run. If they want to build more houses, they should make the big, house builders to release their land banks. Tory dogma takes no account of the world as it is. Extraordinary. #r4today

Could Mr Griffith describe who are the British car makers? The factories are 99% owned by international car manufacturers. What simplistic nonsense from Griffith. #R4today

281

So Defra can still day no? This is a completely irrational point of view on what our regulators do. #R4today

Tony Iles @tonyeye.bsky.social · 03/10/2026

Tories going full-on Trumpian. Heat pumps, insulation, etc. do not add £50k to house cost. Scrapping the EA extraordinary. I presume Tories want completely unregulated pollution of our air, water, & land? Or do we rely on the corporate responsibility demonstrated by the Water Cos? #r4today

Mr Tice doesn't understand the reality of 'spirited or lively debate'. He and his mates whip up hate. Its what they do. Words do have consequences. #R4today

071

One hopes that they would; but they need a few minutes to explain. The stupid question wastes time. The repeated "gotcha" destroys any hope of a conversation. #R4today

"But how will you pay for it?" is such a puerile question. It's lazy and doesn't generate any information. #R4today

160

Quite possibly, but let's hope that poly's and technical colleges will have their day again. At the moment, we can see that many "admin/ office" might have suited fresh uni grads will be done by AI. We will need many more technicians and artisans to rebuild a manufacturing base. #r4today

Or did the university sector expand beyond the predictable demand? It always seemed bonkers to base their business model on never-ending growth. #r4today

040

Gove has become the acceptable face of right-wing politics for the BBC and C4 news. Guff from Gove, again, about the EU. Huge sense of deja vu. #R4today

Tony Iles @tonyeye.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I think Mr Rossi just wants to generate more income for EDF. #bbcnews supine, as always. #R4today

062

@mazzucatom.bsky.social Very well said on this evening's C4 News. Gove spouting Tory nonsense. He still doesn't understand the huge damage austerity did to the UK.

Frank Gardner saying “I don’t understand why Donald Trump is….” You could put in anything to finish that sentence. Trump is a compulsive liar and his narcissism means he’ll literally say anything to claim credit for other people’s work. It’s not hard to work it out. #Fairford #r4today

Crickey Justin, so we dont take action about corruption at Man C because we might upset Abu Dhabi. Hey ho, football and huge amounts of money sloshing around = corruption. No surprise there. #R4today

The future of linear TV must be limited. All these programmes should be available on iPlayer, and the majority of viewers are very comfortable using streaming services. #bbcpm

000

Yes, all good stuff and about time, too. I don't understand understand why we haven't been discussing this more openly for years. We all know this is how Farage operates.

000

Robinson really has no memory on so many topics. Why does he feign surprise that manipulation of SM new? Again, he takes a position that Trump and Musk would like. Has he forgotten Cambridge Analytica? #r4today

070

Ford will build what they can sell. "Allowed" by whom? #R4today

Mr Robinson, this has been known for a very long time. They'd the same during the Brexit vote. PS Reform will use Bitcoin cash to manipulate SM. #R4today

Tony Iles @tonyeye.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Crickey. That's not good news.

It is truly extraordinary that in preparation to meet that the President of the USA #R4today are discussing how to pander to his ego, how to manage his lunacy, and how react to his bullying behaviour.

Tony Iles @tonyeye.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Trump only cares about himself. Well said, Mr Taylor. #R4today

Failures of NATS, hearing that our air space is one of the busiest in the world, and is that it's 'full', doesn't make me think that we need, or can manage, a third runway Heathrow .#bbcpm
