I know it's not the most salient point about Chris Mason, but I've noticed his overuse of salient/salience in the past few days. Has he got a bet on about how much he can use it?

Sorry, it's the best thing I can find to say about his reports.

Looking forward to someone from Reform being challenged to justify their support for Ratcliffe on #r4today.
I'll have a long wait though won't I.

Jim Ratcliffe story. Coloniser accuses others of colonising:

AI Overview:
Monaco has a highly international population, with
over 75% of its roughly 38,000 residents being foreign-born.

Just started reading this. First chapter about snow clearance prioritising pavements and side roads being better for women *and* the economy. #r4today

Why would it be wrong to use money from the education budget to pay for children with special needs Amol? #r4today

I'm confused by the report on #r4today. First we're told Trump threw Epstein out of his club because of his disgusting behaviour, then the report goes that Trump told police he was shocked to find out about Epstein's behaviour.
He needs to get his story right.

Young people smoking and using tanning beds. Don't they talk to their grandparents? #r4today

I used to know someone who had worked at the Royal Squadron Yacht Club in Cowes. From what he told me Andrew didn't have a great role model for his treatment of women in his father. #r4today

I misheard Nick Robinson on #r4today. I thought he'd said Andrew Manhattan Windsor. It would be more appropriate though wouldn't it.

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.

If only Starmer listened to Gordon Brown a bit more and the likes of Morgan McSweeney a lot less. #r4today

Re student loans, when the brightest of our young are being ripped off by their government, what message does that give them? #r4today
February 7, 2026 at 7:43 AM
Given we've had instances of treason from other parties (Reform in particular), shouldn't all Members of Parliament have to pass their electronic messages to the security services?

I love the Gruffalo, but is it possible that Julia Donaldson's son suggested a follow up with an eye to his inheritance? #r4today

Reform is so proud of our country they keep telling us it's "broken". #bbcqt

Is Zia Yusuf proud of the fact that it was the slave owners in Britain and not the slaves who were paid huge amounts in reparations? #bbcqt

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?
#r4today

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?

Funny how Reform want hospitality to become a publicly funded service, but not the NHS. #r4today

Hooray, the Winter Olympics is coming. I love watching people doing really dangerous things on snow and ice. #r4today

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
