Shouldn’t a Business Minister be delivering this advertorial. As Arts Secretary Lisa could usefully spend her time working out why hardly any arts appear on the BBC any longer #r4today

To adapt a phrase, it costs a great deal of money to look that ridiculous #newsnight

On Monday our instagram account was hacked and then deleted. We received a ransom note to recover it; obviously we couldn't and wouldn't pay, and therefore lost thousands of followers. Meta support was useless. But we're BACK with a new account: @littletollerbooks. Can you follow us there and share?

What was that quote about doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results? #Newsnight

I can grudgingly understand #r4today just focusing racing coverage on the major meetings but couldn't they at least use a correspondent who knows the first thing about it?

I know we shouldn't allow ourselves to lapse into lazy, ad hominem attacks, but Christ, what a tedious prick Tim Montgomery is #newsnight

Fair enough Montie. Three months isn't quite enough time to get to know five people #newsnight

In a time of dizzying change it's some reassurance to see Richard Tice confirm himself as the spineless worm we all know him to be #bbcqt

Perhaps today was not the day to have the lickspittle authoritarian apologist Stanley on ‘Thought for the Day’ #R4today

What a nauseating spectacle Chris Mason made on BBC News this evening challenging President Zelensky to apologise to Trump. For so long now we've had Mason, Kuenssberg et al treating authoritarian populists as engaging banter rather than the existential threats to civil society that they truly are

Might be nice if Nick pushed back on some of at least the most obvious lies but perhaps that's hoping for too much #newsnight

Wow, these two American talking heads on #newsnight have really drunk the Koolaid haven't they.

Remember: the televised punishment & humiliation meted out to Zelensky just now could be done to any NATO ally facing similar aggression. The sense of sneering hostility & contempt by Trump & Vance isn’t specific to Ukraine.

Hasn’t American money aiding Ukraine primarily been spent in America on American produced weapons Mr Gidley? #bbcpm
