Water is a scarce resource that is being squandered on animal agriculture that also pollutes our waterways. www.ciwf.org.uk/media/375886... #BBCR4Today

Very off and very odd editorial choice to have a personal comment by a Dr as the lead item on #bbcr4today especially when it sounds, from snippets, emotion led not fact and statistics. May sound harsh - but this seems like alarmist self flagilation, not insightful reporting.

He's not a serious journalist or presenter, far easier to ask dumb gotcha questions, recycle tabloid talking points and wing the rest. It's why I stopped listening to #BBCR4Today ages ago. I still sometimes catch a bit of it and it never fails to fail.

Can we fix the reasons kids go into care in the first place please.

#BBCR4Today Just when you thought you couldn't get any more disgusted by #Trump, he gratuitously publishes a video of a mentally ill #British man being mauled to death. This would be unacceptable by anyone but from the #President of a supposedly civilised nation it cannot be ignored or excused.

#BBCR4Today #Centrica's man says they won't invest in #Rough because its unprofitable but wants #Government to do so instead! If HE can't make it work, why does he think outsiders could do it any better?

Yusuf was given a generous hearing by Webb on #BBCR4Today
‘We will build 24000 holding places for those we are about to deport’
Not a flicker from Webb re where, how.

And then they replay a section of Yusuf's rant in the #BBCR4Today news at 8am. As if they think it'll appease Reform, who'll still slash the #BBC even more than Brittin is doing...

Compare with Nick Robinson's (quite appropriate) grilling of Polanski last week. Woeful, as ever, by Justanapologist Webb. #BBCR4Today

And here's why #BBC #BBCRadio4 #BBCR4Today has no presence on Bluesky... bsky.app/search?q=Jus... (look at "Latest")

Justin Webb giving Zia Yusuf a soapbox to rant his false equivalences with hardly any pushback. #HailFellowWellMet #BBCR4Today. Woeful dereliction of duty.

How can Zia Yusuf on #BBCR4Today not grasp that forced population movement is baked in, along with the climate disruption Reform UK embraces with its rejection of Net Zero. His way leads straight to higher costs, lost lives and war.

Zia Yusuf alleging the problems with the NHS and youth unemployment are all down to asylum seekers
Simplistic assumptions do not solve complex problems
Desperation for racist vote ?
#BBCR4Today #Reform

Jesus Christ #BBCR4TODAY is like a party political broadcast for REFORM all morning.

Constantly parroting a new REFORM policy..
Ridiculous

Again on #BBCR4Today the interviewer comments that Yemen is not of much interest to the British public. This is worth analysing. Why are we mostly concerned with Israel?

I think this is an age old hostile double standard and the @greenparty.org.uk is far gone.

Along with @bbclaurak.bsky.social #FionaBruce and #BBCR4Today's Nick Robinson!

#BBCR4Today Televising a #FiringSquad, as #Trump's man #Hesgeth has arranged, is the behaviour of a despotic regime. Shame on #America - what have you allowed yourself to become?

#BBCR4Today seems to be ignoring Sagal Abdi-Wali so far. She won Holborn & St Pancras with a positive campaign. Quite insulting to make it so much about Polanski.

… Interviewees were chosen for knowledge not “balance” and brought genuine insight. Even the human interest story at the end was genuinely feel good and not a confected “how completely devastated were you by that…?” Emma Barnett mess. Bravo. Puts the currently unlistenable-to #BBCR4Today to shame.

Whilst its good that #bbcr4today recognised the death of Margaret Hamilton and her role as the lead programmer for the Apollo program, the presenter made a horrendous mistake by saying she was one of the few women. 'human computers' were predominately women.
