Oh dear, Farage isn’t talking to the BBC.

Again.

Yawn.

Braying Tories are very quiet when she talks about state schools and the miners pensions scheme. They have absolutely no idea what she's talking about.

I like Ken Clarke, but like all Tories, he seems to take absolutely no responsibility for the mess the country is in.

He seems to think his era was a great success but most of the country’s problems took root then and were caused by them.

Time for the weekly Tory Toddler Tantrum over Tax.

The Laffer Curve was dreamed up on the back of an envelope. It wasn't based on evidence, it was based on the cognitive bias of cranks.

It's bollocks.

Why give discredited twaddle-merchant Arthur Laffer airtime?

Young Conservatives, ex Tory councillors, Daily Mail correspondents, members of the Conservative Party and owners of the right wing Jewish Chronicle become lefties once they become part of the BBC.

How can this be, could it possibly be the proximity to facts and objectivity that is converting them?

The BBC does express a plurality of views. After all it invites crackpots like Charles Moore on.

At no point did Robbo mention how many inmates were accidentally released on Tory watch.

Seems like a basic rebuttal to Jenrick’s twaddle but it wasn’t mentioned.

The Tories would do better if they took a leaf out of Ed Davey's book and asked grown-up questions rather than pathetic attempts at gotchas.

This amateur has just wasted everyone's time.

Pathetic.

Every Tory donor should get a tax rise.

Their lot screwed the country after all.

Where was the Goldmans gobshite critiquing Farage’s fantasy yesterday?

#wato

#wato Soft soap coverage of Farage’s economic fantasy is pathetic.

Have you thought of asking Reform gobshites some searching questions?

Don’t really understand why #r4today are still reporting the Rachel Reeves story as though she’s guilty.

(I do really, Robbie Gibb).

With public services absolutely buggered by the Tories, why does Badenough think banging on about taxes is a good idea?

No wonder they're heading for wipeout.

Badenough should've changed tack after the first question crashed and burned.

Like the rest of her party, she's hopeless.

Don’t buy Cumberland sausages in Sainsbury’s then use the self service till. What they appear as has put me right off.

“Baroness” Coffey not even getting a little murmur of a clap during the entire programme.

The Tories are toast if even Radio 4 can’t supply a Tory in the audience.
