This from latest Private Eye about Fujitsu. Is there anything we can do to utterly remove this awful company from our shores forever? It's a greedy malevolent cancer. #PostOfficeInquiry #PostOfficeScandal
Now we move on to the 'slapdash excuses' stage of the #PostOfficeInquiry
Now we move on to the 'it wasn't my meeting' excuses at the #PostOfficeInquiry
Highly selective memory loss being displayed at the #PostOfficeInquiry
I think it is great that the Oppositon have to provide detailed costed plans for every thing they propose while #r4today are content to allow @RishiSunak et al to wave their hands in the air and just make up figures.
I rate @MishalHusain as excellent but the rest of the presenters on #r4today as 'awful'. Using the criterion of Ofsted apparently that reduces Ms Husain to the same level as the appalling Mr Webb or Ms Kearney.
Imagine if your own work assessment was summed up in a single word-Ridiculous and pathetic. #r4today
Andy Bagnall is just another one of those people who want taxpayer cash and subsidies galore (despite what he says on #r4today ) to continue to flow into the failure that is rail privatisation.
Since #r4today picks and chooses what constitutes 'the red wall' can @JonnyDymond tell me if it includes the great northern cities of Manchester and Liverpool?
'Stop the boats' slogan from @RishiSunak is just the same as the Trump 'Build that wall'. Neither actually want those things to happen as they need to have people hating immigrants and blaming them for all their problems. #r4today
We are all immigrants to this place. It is just the time-frame which separates us. #r4today
I imagine that the only way @BBCr4today will cover food banks is if a presenter is sent to one to ask the people there what they think about Taylor Swift. #r4today
Imagine if #r4today editors and presenters had as much concern about the working poor as they do about their mates who work for The Spectator and The Telegraph-Who were given multiple slots to argue against foreign takeover of their controlling company.
The 'flagship news programme of the BBC' always has time to cover at least one music story every day but never bothers now with any of the 2,500+ food banks needed to feed the working poor. #r4today @BBCr4today
Greater Manchester Police chief Stephen Watson, who unexpectedly reopened the investigation into Angela Rayner’s addresses, spoke at the last Tory conference. The appearance raised questions about his political impartiality, as since the event he's garnered Tory support for…
@RachelBitecofer @NicolleDWallace I remember doing a lot of that in 2015/16 since the consequences of the Both Sides lie were obviously catastrophic. And the worst of the bunch was Nicolle's good friend Matthew Dowd, who called me a liar, called anyone who read my writing stupid and eventually blocked me.

I follow a lot of political editors of UK-wide newspapers & broadcasters. The lack of commentary from many on today’s seismic developments at Holyrood says a lot about the London-based media’s disinterest in covering breaking political news if it’s not happening in Westminster.

COVID isn’t mild. The COVID pandemic isn’t over. COVID isn’t just spread by people coughing and sneezing. You can catch COVID in an empty room where someone infected (and totally asymptomatic) had been breathing many hours earlier. #UncomfortableFACTS
Just received election literature from Ben Houchen. One of his pledges is to replace North Tees Hospital. He might as well pledge to clone Juninho. It is not within his power.
Cllr Bev Craig and Andy Burnham visiting Newton Heath resident Christine in her new council built home which is low-carbon and reducing her energy bills. One of the hundreds of social homes already being built across GM.
The idea that British Rail was inferior to privatised rail operators is a rightwing myth. Punctuality was roughly the same, trains were more frequent, overcrowding was rare, and you could actually afford the fares.
This from latest Private Eye about Fujitsu. Is there anything we can do to utterly remove this awful company from our shores forever? It's a greedy malevolent cancer. #PostOfficeInquiry #PostOfficeScandal

@MGoodwinFreeman I would think even the conservative party view you as a pathetic embarrassment.
@MGoodwinFreeman Why do you like embarrassing yourself on a daily basis? I can't get my head round it : is it a self-esteem thing?
The Strikes (Minimum Service Levels) Bill can't guarantee minimum services when there are no strikes Mr Mullan. #politicslive
Yes, I am old enough to remember when the railways were publicly owned and when they were run by railway professionals. I know which I preferred #PoliticsLive
The sneering 'what would Labour do?' from those in the media who have cheered on 14 yrs of Tory incompetence and corruption is quite something. #LBC
The executives giving evidence to the #PostOfficeInquiry probably have a bigger income, a better house and a nicer car than you but they've sold their soul to get them. Personal integrity is worth far more IMHO.
Britain has some excruciatingly embarrassing "journalists"
@1957AJB @PrivateEyeNews Let me guess....it wasnt mentioned. Right(?)
No! Read the government "response" to Ian Acheson at the beginning of the interview and discuss it. Don't present it as the last, defining word. #r4today @BBCr4today
