Toddler Trump insults allies of the US then just a week later begs for their help because he and his incompetent administration haven't bothered to plan for anything beyond them blowing things up from the sky. Beavis or Butt-Head would have had more foresight! #Americast #r4today

#r4today, #ww3 we have an Axis and the Allies Shall we just crack on and call this what it is 🥺 life has always been cheap, and since 2008 with all this technology and knowledge, how tiresome it has all gotten. go.eu.arena.im/embed?publis...

This morning they included a front page Jenrick quote to that effect in #ReadingBitsOutOfSomeOfThePapers. Do they really push the idea?

#R4Today

As suspected. The fact that #r4today are at the forefront of this is a disgrace bsky.app/profile/byli...

Trump: 'When You Think of It, We Shouldn't Even Have an Election' As his approval ratings slide amid growing discontent over his unpopular war in Iran, the President is looking at multiple ways to subvert the mid-term elections, reports Owen Bennett-Jones

Thinking about this further (actually an idea that popped into my mind as I cleared some other stuff) it might be a serious design flaw if the working information stored for a particular logged in account is actually just the last account viewed.

A former British sas officer said of the #Americans "all the gear but no idea" they haven't got a clue about combat let alone dealing with the aftermath of war #Iran #r4today

A bit of weekend working required to fix this?

I've just listened the #BBC #R4Today
with discussion of
Labour, Tories, Reform Ltd - the Iran attack
Reform, Green Part & Gorton & Denton
BUT NO MENTION that
@greenparty.org.uk are against the war on Iran
or extent of Green victory in byelection
or rise in polls, and or huge membership increase

Seems to have been clipped out of recent copies.

Had to, there’s no trans news this morning. #r4today

Labour have a pretty reasonable excuse for not solving the cost of living crisis in the form of Trump's war. The Mandelson problem was a stupid mistake that won't go away. #r4today

It just turned into another Justin Webb show. I abandoned #r4today early.

#R4Today

Fair enough 😂

#r4today

He spoke about this in detail on TRIP. What he said was very illuminating.

It’s surprising that many of the most vocal about the design of new bank notes only use cryptocurrencies nowadays. #r4today

Oooh, that’s why sightings of #JDVance are scarce. He knows the #IranWar is toxic for his electoral chances. Once Trump gets wind of this, I’m sure he’ll take it well. #r4today @lbc.co.uk #GasPrices #StraitsOfHormuz @aravosis.bsky.social

The Labour conference has sometimes wanted PR.

#R4Today

I think he was suggesting that "get to the media first" would be a good rule now as well. If he'd gone through the rest of his rules might have made the parallel "less obvious".

#R4Today

Rory Stewart is the first person I’ve heard pointing out that the promotion of a Kurdish uprising in Iran is really not a good idea just now. A shame, because there is a worthy cause there. But do we want to drag Turkey and Iraq into this?

#r4today

Anne McElvoy is such a stirrer. Nothing to offer. #r4today

Yes to Katya Adler. Please not Adam Fleming. He's part of that Newscast set that sit around laughing at their own silly jokes like undergraduate politics society members. #r4today

The big dog? 🤔 #r4today
