Invest in #greeneconomy not airports, #proportionalrepresentation. Everyone is a 1st class person! Everyone has their own "obvious"! If all vested interest groups worked together we could have have decent standards for EVERYBODY.
It's funny how fast a "young man in a hurry" becomes an old man writing his memoirs! He's running out of time! I will miss Amol; quite entertaining & slightly less annoying than many others. #r4today www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
The Telegraph isn't "centre right." Sadly, it's become another Mailesque far right rag. #r4today

This still seems to be most significant piece of info which rarely gets a mention. If the missiles hitting Cyprus came, not from Iran, but from USA or Israel, would Ms Badenoch suggest we start shooting "archers" in New York or Tel Aviv? #r4today #weekinwestminster
I agree but it's far too late, sadly. #politicslive #wato
Does anyone know how to calculate RHDI per capita? It seems such a contrived number. How do we work it out? How on earth do we collect the data? #politicslive @timharford.ft.com #moreorless

Some make war; some make beer & rebuild pubs. #r4today #politicslive
WHo will suffer most from this? Trumps billionaire backers? Well paid professionals with company EV's? No - it will be the low paid- already shafted by high taxation - who will paying the price at the pumps. #newsnight #r4today
How can a President who has treated his own ppl like this go around bombing other countries for similar offences. Why did Americans elect this absolute muppet. #newsnight
The regimes we need to get rid of are Washington and Tel-Aviv. #bbcpm
Even though I NEVER voted Tory, I remember agreeing with Maggie for supporting USA bombing of Libya 1986: "when they are under attack, you stick by your mates in playground!" Now; are USA being attacked and are they still our friends? #r4today #politicslive #wato
Taking the power from the criminal drug gangs, who profit from ppl's misery, and giving it to trained health professionals cld: reduce crime; improve communities; save money and save lives. Well worth trialling and developing this policy. #r4today #politicslive
Who will be affected by this? Not the wealthy with their company funded EVs home charged thru solar arrays etc. It will be low & mid income ppl - already taxed to the edge - filling up tanks while dodging the potholes created by the Chelsea tractors! #r4today #politcslive
@zackpolanski.bsky.social, in a very good interview, correctly alluded to this by stating Israel only country in region known to have nukes. It is a very important question which sadly @bbclaurak.bsky.social didn't ask. #bbclaurak #bbcbh
If Iran had attacked a school in Israel and killed over a hundred innocent children, just how exactly would Israel respond?
And the west would be full of sympathy for them.
Double standards creates division, creates hate.
Not a word of sympathy and no apology from the west.

Good interview Zac. Murdocracts don't like it up-em! Wonder what "democracy volunteers" make of Farage's Tory defectives not holding a bi-election. #r4today #weekinwestminster
Thanks for the info; my only knowledge of this comes from reading Tom Clancy in the 1990s. #r4today #iran
Any lawyers not yet on the golf course pls advise the legality of this attack. Can any country attack another claiming pre-emptive reasons or is it just Israel which appears to have this right? #r4today #iran
Well done Andy; it's what a decent guy wld do! #r4today
Thought it might be a good time to repost this one. #gortonanddenton #newsnight
Probably the best thing I have heard on this for a long time. Worth 1 minute listen. #politicslive #wato
Presumably, now we're on the same US tariff rate as everyone else we'll be backing out of the foolish concession on the prices the NHS pays for drugs.
Won't we?

Absolutely- whole point about education is allowing ppl to pursue their interests. Students shld be given info on job prospects etc to make decision right for them. BUT indexing the repayment threshold is an absolute must. Disgrace from Reeves. #bbclauark #wato
If there is a more contemptuous phrase which a politician can use which demonstrates just how deeply flawed they are it is:"boots on the ground!" Whose boots! They are someone's mum, dad, son or daughter etc. Loathsome, dehumanising language! #bbclauark #bbcbh
Reviewing educational needs/provision should be a seen as a positive, not a threat.
Some children will need more help. Some might even have benefitted from early intervention and return to normal classes.
