#bbc Nick Robinson just like thouse from old media doesn't get it. What's ground breaking isn't #AFD results. Leader of #CDU/#CSU #FriedrichMerz hasn't hinted at a break with USA but has broken with USA. None of that UK nonsense of special relationship. #r4today #Merz

Hague needs to acknowledge universities are no longer universities they're businesses. Students aren't Students but customers. If UK universities want to charge fees & UK Gov doesn't want to pay. No customer is paying to go anywhere & hear to people who hate them. #bbclaurak

#bbclaurak more UK politicians & political pundits who still haven't worked out. #Trump isn't the disease but symptom of a paradigm shift in #USA politics. On #BBC at moment, we see UK minister Phillipson tying herself in knots trying to stay close to Trump. #TrevorPhillip

#India vs #Pakistan #ICC #ChampionsTrophy I'm surprised India national anthem isn't just Narendra Modi shouting how much he hates Muslims. Pakistan national anthem is what you expect from a country that'd expecting a war with it's neighbours.

Whole #Merino as striker was a laugh. However I didn't think #Arteta would take it seriously. #Sterling was rubbish but we have to keep playing him to hopefully find form or at least to tire #WestHam defence out & then bring Merino on. Or will #Arsenal play Merino up top against #RealMadrid? #coyg

Watching #Everton vs #ManchesterUnited. The only way to describe it is Dad's vs step-sons where the Dads don't like their step-son. Everton fans chanting going down at #ManUnited fans. #tntsports

People like Lord Peter Ricketts just doesn't get it. #KierStarmer & Europe doesn't have anything #Trump wants. Everything people like Peter Ricketts thinks UK can offer Trump doesn't care about. Unless Britain is prepared to be a vassal state. #r4today

I guess sisterhood doesn't play well in the #AFD. #Newsnight

Ah, it does make me laugh seeing all the old establishment #conservatives waking up to the fact USA isn't Britain's friend. #Newsnight #r4today

If i was a #Leicester City Fan, I'd be checking that Ruud van Nistelrooy wasn't still on the #ManchesterUnited payroll. Clearly, he's relegating #leicestercity to ensure #ManUnited survival. #Brentford are taking them apart. #FNF #sky

#Iseral #Palestinians conflict becomes a macabre comedy. #IDF & #Hamas care more about dead remains than live people. I love #BenjaminNetanyahu logic. Hamas didn't give us the right dead body, so we are going to kill more people. #wato #bbcwato #bbcpm

How can there be a #JamesBond in a world where the USA is hostile to the UK & UK Ihostile towards the USA? #bond007 #r4today

I still can't grasp why people are shocked by what #Trump is doing & saying. Reason why some UK voters & politicians are shocked. Is because of useful idiots like #NigelFarage, #KemiBadenoch & lots of #Conservatives kept saying Trump doesn't mean what he says. #Newsnight #bbcqt

Seriously, if American #MAGA colonials want a King. Britain has perfectly nice #KingCharlesIII you could share. We could change title to King George? Or how about Spain's Royal Family. King Felipe VI is very nice & he speaks Spanish? #GOP #Bbcqt #CPAC #r4today #Newsnight

What were the mascots doing in #Anderlecht vs #Fenerbahce? They look a bit young to be throwing gang signs. #Europa #TNT #TNTSports

Who would've guessed getting people out of the house & socialising with people in the same boat could help. I suspect GP prescription of a comedy show or an allotment is really about Doctor wishing the prescription was off a friend. #wato #bbcwato

Germans have woken up quicker than the British by the sounds of it. What UK politicians need to wake up to is either UK is at the table with the French & Germans or they'll be out in the cold. The EU will be a Germany & France focused club. #wato @bbcpm

#Putin/#Russia are playing a bigger game than #Trump understands. Putin strategy is death of the Western World order & #NATO . #Newsnight

What are #TNTsport pundits on? They must be worried about the ratings. They keep talking like #ManCity/#ManchesterCity have a chance. They're 2-0 doqn against #RealMadrid & 5-2 down on aggregate. They need more than a miracle. #UEFA

Doesn't #Trump see the irony of him a reality TV Star. Who refused to accept US election results. Attacking Volodymyr #Zelenskyy for being an actor, comedian, dictator & bad president. It's all a bit "The pot calling the kettle black" #bbcpm #Newsnight

After #Trump's statement that #Ukraine started war with #Russia/#Putin & that Volodymyr #Zelenskyy is a dictator. Will #KierStarmer be asking Lord Haw-Haw AKA #NigelFarage & #RichardTice AKA Rudolf Hess to leave UK? It's either America 1st or Britain 1st? #bbcpm #Newsnight

We can tell from #r4today & UK Press coverage of #Trump #Ukraine approach. Is UK Press , politicians & political class still haven't grasped our new reality. If #USA can't be trusted, why is there USA military bases in UK? Why are we buying weapons from them? #wato #bbcpm

Poor Kwasi Kwarteng is shocked #Trump is ripping up old world order & there's no USA/UK special relationship. No one on the left, centre left, or anyone with a bloody brain isn't shocked by Trump. Trump is just America without the spin. #Newsnight
