  1. "You will most certainly have spotted the gratuitous gratitude expressed by host and guest to each other. Increasingly rare is the guest who doesn’t feel the need to curry favour with his interviewer. “Thank you SO much for inviting me on!” has become standard."

    Cringeworthy isn't it, Mr Humphrys?

  3. In the interests of balance, there should be some people invited to speak on BBC Radio 4 Today to remind us what a hateful witch Ann Widdecombe was.

  4. I was half asleep this morning when I heard the presenter on BBC Radio4 Today announcing the next guest as Clickity Uno. Took me quite a while to work out it was Claire Coutinho.

  9. Why the sudden resurgence of Piers Morgan? He was on #BBCLaurak yesterday, and now on #R4today... Has he got a book to flog or something?

  10. Lovely to hear the #Wiltshire tones of Phil Harding on #r4today, unlike the awful shouty man football commentary from last night's match.

  12. CW: BBC Cuts

    Ok, I haven't listened to Radio 4 for about 10 years, so I have no dog in this fight anymore... But #TheWorldTonight was vastly more intelligent, thoughtful and analytical than #R4Today so if you were to cut one of them… theguardian.com/media/2026/jun

  14. I see BiBiC #R4Today are singling out @[email protected] 's criticism of the judgement in the Filton case. No mention of the 1000 lawyers/barristers who criticised the judge? These folks weren't found guilty of terrorism but were sentenced as such. Dangerous move www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

  15. The frothing sound of presenters on BBC Radio 4 Today taking about the SpaceX IPO whilst failing to point out it is a massive scam with the goal of funnelling as much money as possible from ordinary people to Musk, or pointing out the company makes a loss and its massive rocket has yet to make it to orbit.

  17. “It’s 6am, you’re listening to #r4today. Coming up:

    - An incredibly depressing lead news story which will make you want to go back to sleep;
    - A thinly-vailed advert for a BBC television drama;
    - And [play snatch of irritating loud music] we play a snatch of irritating loud music to wake you up and annoy you”

    Every. Sodding. Day.

  19. Awoke to #r4today reporting that the UK Government will block opposition to “green energy schemes including nuclear, solar and wind”.

  26. This morning, #r4Today interviewed Chris Curtis, Labour MP for Milton Keynes North, and Chair of the Labour Growth Group.

    He rhetorically seeks answers to “Why it is that we’ve had nearly two decades of economic stagnation”.

    I feel pretty damn sure he is entirely disinterested in the real picture (mastodon.social/@urlyman/11399), and that we’ll pay the price for him and his colleagues believing it’s still the 1990s

  28. Don’t you just love the smell of a “Green Gain From Labour” first thing in the morning… #r4today #bbcbreakfast #LocalElections #ElectionResult2026

  29. The late Robin Williams and zackpolanski.bsky.social are entirely correct. As in America, here in the UK it’s the same. All the main parties are bought and paid for: Labour, the Tories, Reform On Thursday vote green for a party that puts people and communities first. #r4today #bbcbreakfast #PMQs

  31. On #r4today this morning I heard a restaurateur include the national minimum wage in his litany of woes as to why the catering sector is suffering.

    If you can't afford to pay above the minimum wage, you shouldn't be in business.

  33. Not a word I use lightly, but what an absolute cunt Nigel Farage is. When are our msm going to start challenging him properly? We are sleepwalking towards very dark times #r4today

  36. Food, flight and fuel prices could take months to return to normal, experts claim

  37. #R4Today I see are failing to report that the USA is now employing Israel's double tap approach in bombing the new Iranian bridge. Would it be so difficult to point out these are all war crimes in reporting?
