I appreciate you need down time from politics (don't we all) but listening to #AnyAnswers on R4 today callers were as unanimous in praising Starmer's approach as they were in condemnation of Trump.
Also without exception they dismissed the "Special Relationship" as dead thanks to the Orange man-baby
I can be almost certain that this isn't going to make #AnyAnswers after #AnyQuestions this afternoon
Fingers crossed I’ll be on bbc #AnyAnswers sometime after 2pm discussing the House of Lords filibuster on #AssistedDying
A bit of background #bbcaq 👇👇

I suspect #BBCRadio4 won't use this one on #AnyAnswers after #AnyQuestions this afternoon....
The last caller of the day on #AnyAnswers mistakenly referring to Quentin Letts as Quebtin Crisp.
I. Am. Howling 😂
Great first call earlier today on #AnyAnswers @zackpolanski.bsky.social 👇

#AnyAnswers said Birmingham police "relied" on AI generated hallucination
Police said AI included & info from Dutch later changed (rewriting down risk) was a result of "political pressure" from Dutch Politicians
Chief Constable Guildford should have stayed

#AnyAnswers states Birmingham police "relied" on AI generated information that was incorrect
In fact Police said it was included & Dutch change in information (rewriting down the risk assessment) was a result of "political pressure" from Dutch Politicians
Our Officer should have stayed
Love the fact that many older radio 4 listeners are phoning in about their diagnosis of ADHD or autism in later life. It’s not snowflake kids then! #AnyAnswers #bbcAnyAnswers
Denying a condition does deny the support resources and understanding needed #bbcAnyAnswers #Anyanswers
Without a diagnosis majority of kids will struggle in mainstream. Also, a #radio4 programme identified elderly people being sent for dementia testing were actually diagnosed as autistic! #AnyAnswers #bbcAnyAnswets
Well said, Howard, a retired police officer, for his comments on #AnyAnswers just now. In defence of jury trials, he spoke with clarity and insight.
Woman on #AnyAnswers suggesting Andrew should be made to live in a council house for a year - like it's a punishment?! It's a dream for many stuck in temporary accommodation comprising a room for a family.
@greenparty.org.uk getting very positive messages from BBC #AnyAnswers callers
It's absolutely certain that Labour + Starmer are finished
Healthy & helpful to have the opportunity to hear different perspectives to issues on #bbcaa #AnyAnswers www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...
The investment ‘in AI’ that the presenter of #AnyAnswers says will put us at the forefront of it, will do no such thing. The AI guys are building some data centres here. That’s it. They’ve got others around the world. We’re not leading AI, we’re just opening a warehouse. #bbcaq
My family do not like me listening to #AnyAnswers as it makes them despair for humanity! bsky.app/profile/holl... #BBCaq
There was a commenter on #AnyAnswers (sorry about that!) who made what seemed to me a very good observation, which is that Starmer lacks imagination.
He is simply blind to the writing on the wall because he cannot imagine consequences.
@zackpolanski.bsky.social brilliant on #anyquestions . When another panellist suggests he’s lying, the BBC should, as Zack suggested, fact check. The findings in all their lurid detail of vested interests’ donations to the government should then be shared on #anyanswers.
Help, I'm being radicalised by BBCR4 #AnyAnswers they are allowing every rabid racist to spout at length.
When did it stop being shameful to be so openly racist? They have been emboldened.
“Most Gazans….most Gazans support destruction!!!”
Disgusting call by ‘John’, obvious Netanyahu/IDF supporter!
#StopArmingIsrael #AnyAnswers #bbcaq
#bbc #AnyAnswers. Please don't allow anyone parrotting Israeli black propaganda on to lie and defame. There can be no sensible discussion when lies and disinformation are continously being presented as fact.
PS Anita Anand did well as possible to counter
Oh my the famine and genocide deniers are out in force
on BBC R4 #AnyAnswers. Depressing.
#bbcaq
Any Answers is the usual phone in and say pretty much any nonsense you want.
Got a guy saying you can't produce more than 50% of energy from renewables even though we already often do. Says he used to be power systems engineer and the host thanked him for educating her.
#AnyQuestions #AnyAnswers
I do hope callers to BBC #AnyAnswers tomorrow flag up the cynical changes proposed to #Planning law surrounding small developments & 1) BNG + 2) councillor committees.
Removal of both will be devastating to local communities.
When will gov't push big developers to build out the 1m approved homes?
Why is Alex Forsyth allowing "John" to make all these allegations without any challenge or balance?
