Just turned on #bbctoday and they seem to be debating the definition of “working people”.
Are business owners and landlords “working people”? Yes they are, of course. But unlike the folk they employ, they are also direct owners of capital assets.
The Labour Party is, for once, being awfully socialist. The rise in employers’ contributions to NI is a tax on capital ownership.
Now one can debate the merits or otherwise of this, but that is the expected tax. #labour

Conservatives learn nothing. #BBCtoday program reports they are still blathering on about their failed expensive and ludicrous Rwanda policy. They lost the #election FFS #racism #migration

I wonder did Rishi only realise that it was untenable for him to go into a TV debate tomorrow without having dealt with #gamblinggate when he heard it discussed on #BBCToday this morning. #ukpol #ukpolitics

Gamblegate has claimed it's latest victim: The racing tips on #BBCToday. #BBCRadio4

Someone on the Today programme has a real thing about Council Tax pushing on why it's not being reformed and revalued.

Perhaps they think their house is mis-rated.

Is Emma Barnett, good, bad or indifferent?

It's unsurprising, it's her first day so is it to be expected that some cod personalised items are needed for the audience to get to know who she?

I've heard a lot of first days for many contributors, and no not to this extent.

It's not the Emma Barnett Show. But that is consistent with her career.

#BBCToday #Hunt displays the same Tory heartless hubris & incompetence. Tories plane to abolish NI, according to #IFS this will cost £45Billion. Hunt attacks welfare with extremist glee, despicable. https://rb.gy/h0ioyu #SunakOut #ToryGreed #RejoinEU #ToryChaos #StandWithUkraine #Internationalism #fraternity

On the #BBCToday programme, the Chief Rabbi has not supported war crimes in Gaza, nor opposed them. He has ignored them. That is the most morally reprehensible position of all. And of course, criticising him is #antisemitism #gaza #bbc

Thames Water should be nationalised, and Macquarie should be sued.

Every time someone uses the term "woke" in an interview, they should be required to define it. C. F. Peter Shilton on the inexplicable England shirt controversy #BBCRadio4 #BBCToday

If someone wanted to encourage people, children or not, to birdwatch then they could say something like "I like to watch the dinosaurs", rather than "I like to watch brown jobs".

Enabling back doors (because there would be more than one) in cryptographic systems is not the thin end of the wedge it is the destruction of that method of Cryptography.

It is the destruction of trust relationships.

All because of ignorance.

@XraySonoCol @therightarticle Just heard him on Today programme. He seemed good, made a lot of sense to me. Quite nuanced.

Which Minister claimed on #BBCToday that there were breaks in the water supply because Hamas had dug up the pipes to make missiles.

There's a propaganda film from around 2021 from Hamas showing something like that but as the water was running before this all began it makes more sense that the pipes were diverted before they were ever installed.

The Labour party might accept that we won't rejoin the EU, I won't and I'm unlikely to vote for one that doesn't publicly accept that not being in the EU has permanently hurt the UK.

What is this technology that allows encryption to be voluntarily broken as Suella Braverman just said on @BBCRadio4 #BBCToday ?

Presently wondering whether anyone has audio clipped the moment on this morning's #BBCToday when they introduced "our Seoul correspondent".

#PuerileHumour

Russian spokesman on #BBCToday blaming Ukraine for Prigozhin’s death. 🤣

The interview with Martin Lewis about the deep fake scam advert using him, a facsimile of his voice and 'video' on #BBCToday was disgraceful.

It ends with suggesting listeners should go look for themselves as well as suggesting that it would be hard to tell the difference between it and a real advert.

It isn't, it's called Due Diligence, platforms which offer adverts should validate and verify those adverts with real people and real process otherwise they are liable.
