🚨Some major errors & misleading claims from experienced presenter Nick Robinson on BBC Radio 4 Today, when discussing British Steel with Treasury Minister James Murray I hope these are corrected on tomorrow's programme, and Robinson sticks to the facts in future. Here's what he got wrong... 🧵

Have always loved dystopian fiction, but watching the news and living it is not fun.

#r4today Why should anyone be generous with Trump, Mr Robinson? Other than for financial and ideological reasons.

40% of the world's dirty money is laundered through the UK and its crown dependencies and overseas territories. Laws passed to create impression but not enforced. 49,521 UK registered companies have not provided details of persons of significant control. Companies not struck off.

Often overshadowed by The Good Life, this show is a gem. Perfect way to escape the news. Wilton, Briars, Egan first rate.

Feel very ambiguous about the British Steel situation. The changing world we live in makes it a strategic necessity to have as much independence as possible. On the other hand, is it a money pit requiring endless support?

£85.9bn wealth transfer to the rich. Since 2022 UK govt has sold gilts/bonds acquired with QE at a loss. It is also paying interest to banks on deposits they hold with the Bank of England to facilitate interbank transactions. Unnecessary. £85.9bn enriched the rich, inflicted harms on others.

Failing upwards at our expense. They join Claire Fox and many other undeserving sycophants the public have to pay for. These are the real scroungers in our country.

Michael Gove used to ban teachers from their profession for life for drug use. He got caught taking cocaine and a few years later he's getting a peerage? It's as clear as day that drug laws are just there to punish the working class.

I cannot overstate the importance of reading books, particularly novels by respected authors, for critical thinking skills and reading comprehension. If the big gun novelists don't interest you, start small and work your way up. Or read whatever interests you. Just read. Or listen. It's all books.

This isn’t a trade war against China and the rest of the world. It’s an economic war against working class America.

Tank the market with tariffs so rich people can buy low then “pause” the tariffs and all those people make vast sums of money?

Absolutely damning. Seems that the British government made not attempt to find out if the Russians had interfered in the EU Brexit referendum.

I'm not overly fond of Robert Peston, but unlike Chris Mason, he doesn't try and use the Trump stock crisis as an opportunity to attack Starmer.

#politicslive Badenochs' mixture of arrogant ignorance is rubbing off on the right in general. Wouldn't trust the two on the panel to find their way home, never mind run a country.

This is just like 2008 -- except that in 2008, the government was trying to stop the crash, whereas now, the government is literally causing the crash.
