Noticed #BBCR4 news refer to US "Defense Secretary" Pete Hegseth. I guess it's hard to decide the "true" title, when technically it's still the Department of Defense but is branded "Department of War". But I think it might be sanewashing, softening, calming, to not call him "War Secretary".
#BBCr4 #Today
"... Moving to Today would once have been an easy decision for presenters, that is no longer the case... Executives were keen to bring in @mattchorley.bsky.social whose 5 Live show has revitalised afternoons on the station. However ... Chorley has chosen to stay at 5 Live."
I love #AddToPlaylist, after #TheArchers it's my favorite #BBCR4 show.
It's accessible and entertaining, I've learnt lots about music and found new genres and artists whilst listening.

Please can we fast track John Holmes for:
a) a knighthood
b) DG of the BBC
c) His own radio channel
Please.

Why does the interviewer on #BBCR4 Today Programme keep talking about E-ran??? The country is pronounced I-rarn. Why do we copy American bastardisation of our language?
Some Israeli gobshite allowed to spout utter lies and outlandish propaganda without interruption on #BBCwato this lunchtime
shameful & overt #BBCbias from #SarahMontague aka Lady Brooke...

Labour's Darren Jones answered Qs on #BBCr4 calmly, carefully and fully.
Must say the Q's were just wooly, almost with disdain and embedded with barbs. Not sure this is the way for a UK public service to provide UK with information it seeks, rather pushing a hostile agenda.

Justin Webb is a man out of time (prob Berlin 1936 is his time), and he lives in a World that has passed him by and that he doesn't understand #BBCR4 #TodayR4
Another aggressive snide interview by #BBCr4 of the Government, this time Lammy.
When Lammy answers that it is for Iranian people to decide their future, BBC instead repeatedly asks if Trump should decide.
When Lammy refuses to divulge operational info, BBC snide aside "I presume you don't know".
Badenoch doesn’t understand that MP’s shout at her in parliament because she’s an abhorrent person.

I will support every Iranian in the UK to help bring democracy to Tehran. I would also encourage Shias in the UK to raise their voices like Rana Rahimpour on #BBCR4 today.
#BBCR4: American justifying illegal actions against Iran and Venezuela cos regimes are evil.
Odd justification. Which other countries don't fit Trump's measure of an acceptable regime?
Putin is committing war crimes every day, but Trump greets him as a friend?
Kim Jong Un?
Greenland?
Canada?
This was just like #BBCPM tonight with Evan Davis casting doubt on the accuracy of the reporting whilst interviewing David Petraeus,
David Petraeus said he hadn't heard anything about it...

A Place in Politics for British Muslims on #BBCR4 was really worth the listen. Nice work Aleem Maqbool. What a hero, Usman Shah. Not great, House of Lords. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Esra Cohen said he was not aware of what international law the USA broke and that no one of importance has made that claim.
He was not corrected by the BBC.
Absolutely disgraceful.
United Nations 2(4) is very clear.
BBC must do better.

Herzog tries to pretend on #BBCR4 that Israel is not targeting citizens in Iran.
Israel killed 150 people at a girls school in Iran.
Fuck him.
The irony of Herzog suggesting on #BBCR4 right now that Iran has spent billions of dollars on weapons when Israel has spent billions committing genocide in Gaza.
Fuck him.
#BBCr4 main Sunday evening news.
An interview with Trevor from the West Midlands on holiday with his wife in Dubai!
Not a single fucking word on all those schoolchildren murdered by Trump & Netanyahu & Starmer complicit

Pretty sure I heard one of those #BBCR4 coves suggest earlier (or he might have been quoting) that one justification for blowing to smithereens the supreme leader of Iran might be his age and declining health. Remind you of anyone?
#AttackOnIran
The Nick Robinson method is to convey ideas & doubt via questions - that's why he interrupts every answer. He gets everything out there by asking abd sows all the seeds without being required to cite a single fact or source. It's a strategy, not journalism of any kind. #BBCR4
Angry Heidi Alexander putting Nick Robinson in his place on #BBCR4. He is trying to pitch her against the new Green MP but she isn’t having it.
Alexander giving a good interview in the face of aggressive interviewing on #BBCr4, cutting her off during answering, making snide and inaccurate statements.
Labour has to get better at telling its story and trumpeting its progressive policies.
Labour are the only party with economic credibility.
Chris Mason on #BBCr4 struggling to find a way applauding Reform for a great win in the face of the facts.
