"What's the Tory party policy on this?" Tory woman: "I don't know what the Labour policy on this is." Pointless asking her on #politicslive. She can't answer anything.

The Tory MP wants Labour to apologise for the U-turn on the winter fuel allowance. What a nerve. When's the Tory apology for no U-turn on 14 years of austerity? #politicslive

Zia Yusuf has only been working hard for 11 months and claims to be exhausted. The people he's going to be hounding in local councils have been attempting to cover multiple jobs over the past 14 years. They know exhaustion. Hopefully they won't be too exhausted to tell him to f* off. #r4today

The BBC can't get enough of Reform finishing third in a by-election, but don't touch this with a barge pole. #r4today www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Even the sports people on #r4today take the wrong side. #spurs #levyneedstogo.

Lisa Nandy really needs to get her finger out and clear the Reform UK fan club out of the BBC. #r4today

Tice claims the UK is a "Christian based" society. He's of course wrong about our history (heard of Stonehenge?) and wrong about us now - fewer than half are Christians and the second highest group is of no religion. A shame #r4today couldn't bring itself to point that out.

You're failing into Tice's trap of arguing about the burqa when the better question would be about the DOGE antics which will make Kent Council inefficient. Bad move #r4today

I told my now 22 year old son about Thatcher. His first teacher told me he'd said Thatcher had stolen children's milk when I first met her. "That's my boy" I thought! #politicslive

It's a shame that Henry Zeffman wasn't around earlier in #politicslive to hear Luke Tryl say the two child cap is much more accepted in focus groups discussing child poverty than in a simple question of yes or no.

Presumably Trump thinks we're playing around with the trade deal because our government goes through democratic processes and Starmer doesn't just sign an executive order. #r4today

Thames Water seems to be trying to improve its finances by doubling users' direct debits. After a 4 hour stand off on WhatsApp, I got through to the complaints dept who suggested I pay for the water I have used. Greed means they don't get any advance payment. They're not helping themselves. #t4today

Bell Ribeiro-Addy talking sense about the Channel boats. She needs to persuade her govt to do as she recommends - process applications before they get in the boats. #newsnight

Torygraph woman should pay 99% tax on the nonsense she spouts. #politicslive

Good to hear a reality check delivered by Andrew Fisher re taxes and public services. Of course the Telegraph woman disagrees, she's never going to need public services she thinks. So hope that one day she does. #politicslive

Just listened back at the Starmer interview. He describes Reform UK as pro Russia. Hooray. Keep saying it. High time people realised the threat to our country. #r4today

Another example of lazy journalism on #r4today in the description of the new Polish president as believing in "family values". What kind of family values? I suspect rather different from mine which would include supporting a family member who wanted an abortion.

So DOGE arrives at Kent Council. Modelled on the US presumably they'll get rockets rather than refuse collection dolled out by ketamine addled loons. Should be fun. #r4today

Jenrick: "Shame the authorities into taking action". Sadly the Tory government had no shame so their corruption knew no bounds. #bbclaurak

I saw a lot of efficiency across local government disappear with austerity and the 50% cut in its funding. This business woman is out of touch with reality. #bbclaurak

This chat by BBC "journalists" is a bit half baked. Says we pay 40% tax. We don't have a single rate of taxation so obviously this is wrong. Assumes most people think public services are inefficient. Many people find those run by the private sector less efficient. Poor stuff. #wato

Maybe we can see why Trump was in a rush to get a deal with the EU and they were less so. #wato

I wonder if Poppy Coburn put the American right on his perception of the UK restricting free speech. It would be very unpatriotic of her not to. And failing in what should be the role of a journalist to get to the truth. Bet she didn't because after all she writes for the Telegraph. #newsnight

"There's not many conservatives on campus" says the Telegraph woman on #newsnight. That's always likely to happen in a place that only allows bright people in.

Reform models itself on the Trump govt so there's not much chance of their numbers ever adding up - especially for everyone except the ultra rich. #r4today

The very best interpretation you can give for Trump's inaction in Ukraine is that he's stupid and lazy. #c4news
