Penny Mordaunt railing away about the state of UK armed forces without a hint of apology. She was a minister for most of the 14 years of Tory rule which witnessed the strangling of the UK's military capacity. And she was even defence secretary for 5 mins. #bbclaurak

It’s now almost 2 months since Nigel Farage was scheduled to appear on #bbclaurak as part of her Leaders Interview but pulled out due to being “under the weather”

He’s currently in America supporting a foreign president over his own country

Amol Rajan to leave Radio 4's Today programme to launch his own company The presenter will continue to host University challenge and his Radical podcast for the BBC.

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.
#warcrimes #bbclaurak

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
