#R4Today When we talk about #RoyalFamily private income, we include, for example, leasehold income from the seabed paid by #WindFarm operators. Is that really PRIVATE or should it be STATE income?
#R4Today Why is the #ClitheroeKid #JonHinder obsessing about the #SmallBoats when they account for a minute percentage of #Immigration? Better to focus on the reasons why so many organisations depend so heavily on workers from abroad, from #fruitpickers to #AIdevelopers
#R4Today If you were writing a #FrenchFarce, could you come up with anything better than #OneIn#OneoutOnebackagain?
#R4Today Thank you #NickRobinson for reminding us that the #WhiteHouseOaf said "Blessed are the peacemakers!" But then what's the point of being called #Trump if you can't blow your own trumpet.
One of the saddest days of our lives. And I'm afraid that both the government and the Coal Board behaved very poorly, desperate to avoid blame or cost. So many young lives lost through incompetence.
The facts of the Maccabi statement or of their domestic match being abandoned because of violent rioting?
But does the discussion need to be on the #BBC flagship news programme?
#R4Today #MaccabiTelAviv says it won't let its fans come to #AstonVilla because the ban created a #TOXICATMOSPHERE. This is from the club whose last domestic match had to be abandoned because of violent rioting. They are perfectly capable of creating their own toxicity!
#R4Today. The fact that #Andrew is part of a royal family is the least relevant part of this. He's been a keen member of a powerful sex abuse ring, organised to make rich and powerful men even more rich and powerful.
#R4Today #NickRobinson #DavidBernstein Two #Manchester #Jewish football fans discussing #Jewish football fans. Is this impartial broadcasting?
#R4Today Who is #Jenrick to say anyone else has behaved disgracefully? Pot and kettle! He should take his own advice to #Andrew and disappear from public life
#R4Today #Jenrick wants us to build more prisons. The country has no money - what spending would he give up in order to spend on prisons?
#R4Today #Jenrick says he doesn't want any prisoners released from jail early. Where would he stash them? There's no space in prison!

#AstonVilla/Maccabi #Starmer and #Badenoch can see an #AntiSemitic plot where none exists. The ban is on travelling #Maccabi fans who have a history of violence. There is nothing to stop #Jewish football fans from attending - you're not asked your religion at the turnstiles.
#BBCNews The Israeli Premier League derby between #MaccabiTelAviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv was cancelled before kick-off on Sunday, after what police described as "public disorder and violent riots".

Makes the comments of #Starmer and #Badenoch about #Antisemitism look very silly

#BBCLauraK #EdMilliband and #ClaireCoutinho are both RIGHT and WRONG about #WindFarms. We MUST build more - they are clean & don't consume fuel.But buying electricity from energy companies is wildly expensive. UK should build and own, using profits to fund pensions and other state spending
#R4Today Before criticising #AstonVilla over the ban on #MaccabiTelAviv fans, #Starmer and #Badenoch might consider whether its right for #Israeli teams to be allowed into international sports whilst their fellow invading nation - #Russia - is banned.
#R4Today Well done #DanielLevy for explaining that #Israel, as usual, went along with the #TrumpPeacePlan to get what they wanted - #hostagerelease - but with no intention of committing to any long term settlement with #Palestine and other neighbours. Back to square one.
#Netanyahu says "our #IDF fought like lions" Does blowing up whole cities, homes and hospitals & murdering tens of thousands of #Palestinian children constitute 'fighting'?
#BBALauraK This is supposed to be a serious political program - what are #PrittiPatel and #NadineDorries doing on it?
#BBCLauraK Asking #NadineDorries about diplomacy is about as nutty as asking #BorisJohnson about celibacy!
#BBCNews #SharrenHaskel says #Israel only ever wanted peace and stability. Tell that to the #Palestinians in the #WestBank whose land has been stolen at gunpoint by #Settlers, supported by #IDF
