#r4today What is this pushing of Melania? Appropriately, that music sounded a bit like the theme to Dead Ringers!

#r4today Er...the Urdd Eisteddfod held annually in Wales may give an inkling of how teenagers in Wales, at least, do sing together. Could have been mentioned?

#r4today I would suggest Emma does take the time to watch "One Battle After Another" it has many swipes at the current state of US politics. Could be quite informative.

#r4today That last post was missing the #. Apologies. A response to Jeremy Bowen's invaluable insights.

United Fruit Company not "US" in Guatemala 1954 but the Dulles brothers (one Sec of State and one head of the CIA) did have interests in it. US intervention in Latin America by no means new.

All been downhill since 2010. Lest we forget!

Ah, but will this birth of England be put in the context of the history Britain...doubt it. #r4today

And a TFTD worth listening to, for once. #r4today. Interesting mention of King Herod. Very apt.

Interesting thoughts on AI from Bill Gates but the utopian" there will be more leisure time for everyone" is a highly unlikely outcome. #r4today

What is the point of #r4today other than to look for opportunities to slam Labour and give right-wing views a platform?

James Dyson, guest editor #r4today Brexiteer, moved his company to Singapore. Will not be listening.

#Cymru,#Plaid Great result for Plaid.Just wish the media focused a little more on why Plaid won and less on why Labour and Reform lost.

Justin desperate to find something to denigrate in the recovery of Welsh place names. Attempts "divisive", gives up, and clearly loses interest. #r4today

Well, Nick is laying into Labour. He's having a thrilling time at Conference. #r4today
September 30, 2025 at 6:43 AM
"Who's rich?" Nick probably thinking, with much self-satisfaction, "I am! " #r4today
September 29, 2025 at 6:44 AM
Just read the Guardian editorial on Welsh politics analysing the demise of Welsh Labour, mentioning (in passing) that Plaid is in the lead, but this passed over to focus on Reform. Even the Guardian? Really? #Guardian
September 23, 2025 at 7:08 PM
Interesting how Nick is quite testy with this Tory in a way he never was when they were in power. #r4today smells blood. Off to Reform it goes.

Justin Webb eulogising the Right, damning the "Left" in US politics, including, it seems, Bluesky! What is going on? Time Webb posted his cv to Fox News. He needs a new home. #r4today

Ha...William Hague's comments are, surely, not a definition of democracy! #r4today
September 9, 2025 at 7:25 AM
Well, there was a mention of the Guardian headline on Johnson but well hidden in the news headlines and quickly turned into an explanation of ex-PMs allowances. Come on BBC, you can do better than this, no need to be so blatantly biased. #r4today
September 9, 2025 at 7:13 AM
Always ready to criticise Nick Robinson so, today, well done Nick for hammering the pathetic Richard Tice. #r4today
September 5, 2025 at 7:28 AM
Dreadful interview by Rajan. Blatant bias on the Angela Rayner issue. Was she "avoiding" paying the full amount...clearly the BBC jury is back with a guilty verdict. #r4today
September 4, 2025 at 7:21 AM
R4Today turned into light magazine style soft interviews. Taylor Swift and now a novelist? Emma does know she is no longer on Women's Hour ( which, on reflection, is definitely a cut above this)? #r4today
August 27, 2025 at 6:49 AM
Reassured that there are many posts expressing anger and indignation at Nick Robinson's interview with Jenrick. Absolutely agree that this was an appalling piece of right-wing propaganda intended to stoke fear and hatred. #r4today
