Have the US white supremacist Christian Right started imposing conditions on their funding?
“We don’t mind paying, but we want to see a tangible increase in church attendance”
Coming soon:

-Sunday pub closures
-purity rings

-measles, mumps, …
… and worse.
Boris Johnson exploited the “PM is expected to say …” news briefing, then saying something slightly different.
The message was out there, but plausible deniability let him bloviate.
Sometimes this was just to check public reaction before he committed; other times a dog whistle.
Too much of the news these days is reporting what people - eg Trump - say happened rather than what actually has happened, as evidence suggests many of these speakers are not totally reliable sources. #r4today
Not yet heard Trump demand that the Gulf states pay more for their defence, but hey, oil deals to be made. #r4today
Dharshini David summarised this front page as if it were true
1 million will buy the paper
6 million will hear the summary on #r4today
10s of millions will hear similar, uncritical summaries across the BBC - a "public service" broadcaster they trust deeply
BBC "Paper reviews" need banning
Needs to be abolished, lock, stick and barrel, and replaced with a far smaller second house, able to summon experts to advise.

All these #children being killed “by accident” in #Iran, #Lebanon, #Palestine …
Is anyone checking their bodies for indications of previous #SexualAssault, #rape, or #FakeTan?
Dead children cannot testify in court, and both #USA and #Israel have recent history of protecting #SexOffenders
"Trump has set fire to the entire region"

Nobody voted for this. Not even MAGA.
Trump has put America LAST.
Barron is having his bone spurs fitted.

“Can you explain #QuantumComputing in just a few words?”
Guest: “No”
Your daily reminder that this is ONLY true in #USA.
TWO #Epstein clients have been arrested in #UK - one a member of the #AbolishTheMonarchy, the other a senior #government insider, while many have lost jobs in other countries.
When #Trump is arrested, many will follow. He will betray everyone.
Sadly, I think it is already ‘fixed’.

When #Tesla begins supplying #electricity to #UK homes, will it insist those homes have to be fitted with Tesla locks on all doors and windows?
Not a single Tesla driver has ever sued after their cars caught fire with them inside. That speaks volumes for the quality of security fittings.

Wouldn’t you think that would be perfect for Today?
They normally trip over their own tongue when it’s Savile, Harris or Edwards.
Still, none of those are Israeli, I suppose.
… except for the reference to Iranian police as “the forces of oppression”
Does he refer to the Met Police in this way? ICE? German Polizei?
Police ensure people comply with the law. Even in an oppressive regime, they are necessary public servants.
Who stops the looters when the US bombs homes?
Instead of simply handing contracts to the private sector and walking away, they should work in partnership: the state with 51% of shares, while businesses take the bulk of profits.
This reduces exploitation of public money, supports accountability, mitigates unpredicted disasters, protects us all.
Torn between the two loves of his life
Sadly, neither of them is “the American people”
They just pay the bill.
I’m so used to fast-forwarding the second he starts his 15-minute commercials for failing businesses that I have skipped more than half the show today.
He has the perfect voice for a business correspondent - one nobody listens to, so liars and profiteers can say whatever they like, unchallenged.
Are you saying IDF snipers don’t even choose their targets, just use advanced high-powered weapons to shoot blindly into a crowd at a height close to adult genitals but children’s heads?
On a side note, has Israel paid you your $7,000 bounty yet?
If so, you can start to act like a human being now.
Same.
I kept wondering who he represented, what wronged but impotent pressure group, then they said it was Liam Byrne!
To be fair, they didn’t say which Liam Byrne … 🤷♂️

#r4today we need to be calling this out. They are out of control.
When the primary qualification of your “expert” is that they once slept with someone who has no specialist knowledge but has the money to buy success …
Regarding US foreign policy …
Regarding the intrusion of malign corporations into civil life …
Regarding inefficient squandering of fossil resources …
Regarding genocide in the Middle East and elsewhere …
Regarding the lack of accountability in scandals …
Regarding BBC promotion of racism …

A presenter fronted two #BBC top shows but jacked one in on a whim, leaving a potentially huge hit to ratings.
The response? Create another show for them to helm, presumably at a salary to suit them.
Who is the employer? Who the employee?

When you refer to “defiance” in the face of the #US and #Israel, what authority do these states have in #sovereign #Iran?
Surely the global police are the #UnitedNations?
Does Israel comply with UN resolutions? With #NuclearWeapons agencies? Has the US arrested #Netanyahu?
