Good to hear on the Today programme that Road User Charging is being mooted… but it seems to have been broken via the right wing newspapers so they can have a good run to wind up resistance and prevent it from happening. “Watch this space”.

On the Today programme they just said that the basic rate of income tax hasn’t changed in 50 years. It certainly felt like it did in 2008 when the 10p “starting” rate was abolished (I definitely noticed!) and probably did in 1999 when it was introduced. Disingenuous reporting, what a surprise.

Careful Justin Webb. You're getting very close to accusing someone of being an antisemite.

Cabinet minister on the Today Programme a few minutes ago said that “anyone who has any transport needs will benefit from the freeze in fuel duty”. I wish this was his idea of a funny April Fool, given the 50% increase in single bus fares a couple of months ago, 4.6% rise in rail fares last month, and impact of the driving encouraged by a(nother) duty freeze on pedestrians and cyclists. But while if asked the government will say it “doesn’t think that transport is just cars and really wants a to encourage more sustainable transport” I think he was serious.

Hurrah for #Autonormativity, also known as #CarBrain

Ohhhh... and they were doing so well. As @BBCRadio4 #TodayProgramme celebrate Wales's women reaching the Euros for the first time, up pops that word - principality. 🤦‍♀️

On #BBC4 #todayProgramme 14/10 there was a piece on the #UkraineWar about civilians evacuating their homes because of the Russian invasion. It was depressing, not just because it was an evacuation but there was the thinnest of contexts. This was the morning after more and new evidence of murdered, surrendered Ukrainian soldiers. Now 'today' there's this documentary of the Russian Army using civilians for target practice in Kherson. Owenna Griffiths Ed. please check this x.com/CaolanRob/status/1843749

Nick Robinson stop showing your blue petticoats. You're meant to be impartial. Use of language gives you away. Why should talking about business be solely for tory types? Everyone needs business, not just the wealthy. Your compromised attitude is embarrassing. #todayprogramme #bbcradio4 #BBCRadio4Today

Hmmm … It’s Queen Camilla’s birthday.

Did the #TodayProgramme *really* need to tell us?

On #ThoughtForTheDay on the #TodayProgramme on #Radio4 this morning, with no sense of irony, they said atheists declare their position as unquestioning fact

Robert Jenrick, the UK Immigration Minister on Radio 4's Today programme - what an absolute wanker.

@nickbwalking I'm a regular listener to the #todayprogramme and well aware of the style of interview it and other UK news outlets favour. It seems the editors of such programmes would sooner try to trip up politicians rather than let the audience make up their own mind.
Having said that it does get pretty tedious listening to party hacks filling airtime with either propaganda or simply refusing to answer the question.

The BBC hasn't always been a mouthpiece for the government of the day.

I'm not sure if you can make a magnanimous apology for misinformation that is divisive and targeted at a population that in any other context would be identified as prejudicial, stoking islamophobia, Chris Philp

Congrats to #DameDianaJohnson for resisting #NickRobinon 's attempts to make her say the #police should have the right to say which organisations can hold protests and when.
