The sheer effrontery of this Tory given they've been funded by Russians, they gave out dodgy contracts to their mates during the pandemic and their whole tenure was full of chaotic leadership changes.

Sun woman says "we can't have another expensive leadership election".
The public don't pay for leadership elections.
If she wants Starmer to stay, Labour probably need to get rid of him.

The more educated you are the less likely you are to vote Reform or Tory. It's not in their interest to do anything to encourage people to go to university. #bbcqt

Reform's new Welsh leader lives down to expectations. Quote from the Tory leader in the London council he left: "We look forward to the former Cllr refunding his councillor’s allowance paid to him during his prolonged absence from Barnet".

Looks like Steve Reed is a Starmer/McSweeney loyalist, so presumably he'll go along with them in the post local elections resignations. He can take his MAGA style hats with him. #r4today

Did anyone else watch Kuenssberg's programme on Reform UK last night and wonder how she gets away with such a superficial treatment? Where were the facts on e.g. selling off care homes?

Labour backbencher saying that as we saw with the Tories a change of leader "doesn't do anyone any good".
Is she saying it wasn't good for the country to get rid of Johnson and Truss? If so, is she fit to be a Labour MP?

According to this American guy you always have to negotiate with your adversary. I must have missed that bit of WW2 history where the US negotiated with Hitler. #r4today

So the Tories want details of the vetting process for Mandelson. Good idea. Can we also have all the details of the vetting of organisations given contracts by the Tories during Covid? #r4today

Webb: the government "seems to suggest" that someone can't just be thrown out of the Lords.
Why doesn't a #r4today presenter know the law surrounding the Lords?
Or is this language used to seem to suggest that Labour could just oust Mandelson from the Lords?

A friend showed me that photo of Mandelson. Boys if you're going to be pictured in your pants make sure they're dark loose boxers. Thank you. #r4today

Most of the people in that vox pop wanted more public services. They'll get fewer if they vote Reform of course. It's an ideological thing. #r4today

If the BBC was serious about being a news broadcaster they wouldn't go on with this endless stuff about Andrew whathisface and Mandelson whose reputations are already gone.
We'd sooner hear about Trump's involvement with Epstein and all the redactions in the files that must refer to him.

No #bbclaurak we're nowhere near as interested in Andrew's antics as we are with Trump's.

I've just tried a spoonful of "pickle juice" from my jar of gherkins. Lovely. But I'd sooner just eat a gherkin - preferably with a bag of chips. It's a London thing. #r4today
