My favourite Peanuts, featuring good ol’ Charlie Brown looking up at the sky is this one. I know just how he feels! TFTD #R4today
… At some point we’ll talk about the alternatives to prison right? #Bbcaq We’re going to, right?
Colonel Philp back from the frontline to talk about ECHR membership again “Someday this culture-war’s gonna end! “One time we dropped so much manufactured outrage on em that by the end there wasn’t a single Liberal left still listenin’ to #r4today “
Well we better get used to evacuating from floods storms & fires as fossil fuel use, particularly gas & oil, continues to rise #R4today
… It’s as if #R4today picked up the first editions and thought ‘WE should cover this’ That & the relentless ReformUK coverage
… No coincidence that the 2 most successful PMs by any measure, Thatcher & Blair both had Pit Bulls for Press Officers Not everyone’s cup of tea, but Campbell & Ingham both put the fear of god into Newspaper editors & news producers & just wouldn’t even try to pull this sort of crap … #R4today
I don’t really know. He was rescued as a Jack Russel but he’s clearly not: He’s got the coat & herding instinct & of a border collie but he’s too small. His jaw has a bit of staffie, & the brain of a puppy He loves to chase squirrels, horses & puncture inflatables:
Sounds like Badenoch’s back on #R4today for her regular spa-treatment. This time to talk without interruption from pesky journalists on the latest hopeful vote-winning slogan ‘Common-Sense’ If ReformUK can win so many votes fighting the culture war with contrived outrage, why can’t the Tories?
Pretty sure that dossier folder has the US presidential seal on it! It was located between the two leaders, not at Xi’s seat #R4today
“Look I’ve had a great chat with Nige and he assures me there’s absolutely no substance to the accusations… any accusations” #R4today
Good lobby style pic from today of these right old rogues … & Pat McFadden #BBCPM
Peter Arnett was a war reporter in Vietnam Don’t quite know what that last #R4today contributor was on about
Might be uncommon in humans #R4Today but frequent enough with other primates Marmosets intentionally mate with two potential male fathers: it’s a great way to guarantee the males help raise the kids
Me returning to #R4Today in the hope there will be fair even-handed reporting this time
… Yeh, but world of difference between a line in a speech and a political slogan #R4today
… The candidate nobody would vote for but get’s people thinking “I could do better than that!” Sir Anthony Meyer ladies’n’gentlemen #wato
You go to hospital and see this … you’re not coming home kid! #R4today
How your UN representative voted to restore the economic violence of industrialised slavery, btw #r4today
There’s a UN resolution including 123 countries supporting Reparations. UK & EU Abstained. Voting against: US, Israel, Argentina!! Question is will Farage use visa rights as leverage in his post Brexit trade negotiations? Farage IS PLANNING Post Brexit trade negotiations? #r4today
Yes, if your N.Sea oil fields are running dry & so refining less oil, you produce less petrochemicals The Tory ‘plan’ seems to be to reverse the decline that once again happened on their watch Makes a nice change #r4today
… In response to complaints no doubt But no guarantees it’ll make the slightest difference, especially when #R4today drafts in volunteers to man the complaints phoneline
Best of all. #R4today But couldn’t help remembering that La Tomatina festival held in Valencia while listening to how my crappy English ‘salad’ tomatoes will double in price thanks to Trump
This graph from the FT on the $580m trade spike just 15mins before Trump’s post on TruthSocial It echoes similarly ‘highly profitable’ trades made before Venezuela & key US admin announcements #R4today
It’s illegal to cycle on the pavement But you’re allowed to ride on shared access pavements, which are often only occasionally signposted Can be quite hard to navigate this second rate infrastructure without breaking the law Pedestrians & cyclists deserve segregation #wato
Jenrick on #R4today for his daily spa session … sorry ‘BBC interview’ General terms - NO details - NO numbers “Enjoy your day Mr Jenrick”
