@BBCR4Feedback @fergalkeane47 @BBCRadio4 The weather man said the “most hottest” just before 8am. Come on. Heidi Alexander also said “the most safest”. Let’s try to speak our great language correctly.

It's the end of another series of #BBCR4Feedback, and this week @andreacatherwoodnews is talking to longtime war correspondent @fergalkeane47 about stepping away from the BBC after a long career, and his relationship with the BBC's listeners. Listen on @bbcradio4 at 3.30pm📻

@bbcnickrobinson @Keir_Starmer @BBCr4today Nick Robinson-I loved your R4 interview of Zac P this morning. So incisive and adult.

I’ve just been interviewing @Keir_Starmer for @BBCr4today who says he met the police officers who tasered the suspect in the Golders Green stabbing “I want everybody just to imagine what it might be like. You're trying to arrest someone who has already attacked two people and has no regard for life. We know that tasers were fired. I know from my own experience with the police, that there are only two shots in a taser, and once you've shot them, there's nothing left. There's a guy on the ground, he's got a rucksack on. And I don't know what was going through the mind of those officers, but if I was there, I'd be thinking, he's going to detonate something. He's going to blow me up and everybody around here. In those circumstances, I think you can quite see why what could have gone through their mind is, we need to do whatever we can to disable this guy." He added: "Now, when I then see Zak Polanski come out and retweet or support a criticism of that, I think it's disgraceful... He's not fit to lead any political party." Full interview on @bbcr4today tomorrow from 7am

@Matt_Pinner That’s tough because Brexit and his corruption rolled out the carpet for the car crash that is this government. Boris destroyed a great party and permanently ruined the economy . It’s Boris’s fault we have these cretins and he enriched himself. I loathe both.

Do you believe Boris Johnson was a better Prime Minister than Keir Starmer?

@johnsweeneyroar @Jim_Cornelius For once I’m agreeing with Starmer

Rejoin.

UK submarine captain steps down after link to Chinese spy case via @FT But Karl Turner is suspended for challenging the great PM on jury trial reform. Pick and mix democracy. What does Keir stand for? giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/ac…

@KemiBadenoch Make sure you hold Keir to account regarding the unfair suspension of Karl Turner-er freedom of speech-and the apparent defence of Joani Reid, still an MP. Pick and Mix democracy. Go for it Kemi!

This is a significantly strengthened Terms of Reference for the national grooming gangs inquiry. The initial draft did not, amongst other things, examine ethnicity and religion, nor did it ensure those in positions of authority like politicians or police officers would be investigated. I am pleased the Conservatives' demands on these points, reflecting those of the survivors who contacted us, have been addressed. I thank Baroness Longfield for working with me constructively on this. But there are more questions to address such as how survivors will be engaged and which exact locations will be investigated. That is why my team will continue to work with survivors, their families, and anyone who wants justice.

@Keir_Starmer So can you explain why you have suspended Karl Turner but not Joani Reid? It looks like Turner was actually practising freedom of speech of basic tenet of democracy say you defend.

I will always make decisions that are in the national interest. It’s why we aren’t getting dragged into the Middle East conflict, and why we are fighting to protect your living standards. And while opposition parties have responded by dividing communities, we respond with hope and pride. Pride in our communities, and the hope of a country that’s better for our children. That’s what we’re fighting for. Vote Labour on Thursday 7 May.

@JasonManford Well I was there and laughed my head off. I thought you were really funny. Made my night. What a lot of mean and miserable people out there. One of the most fun nights out-thank you and sleep well know it was a job well done.

@Mostons And in Zurich Two hour queue. EasyJet on time.

Queue to get through passport control at Geneva airport is beyond a joke. New entry system leading to huge crowds. Angry scenes with queue jumpers. So much for Swiss efficiency.

Swiss efficiency: 14:58 LX-8003 landed in Zürich 15:15 passport control 15:28 luggage arrived in carrousel 23 15:34 bought a snack after clearing customs 15:37 waiting my train on platform 3 at the airport 15:47 on board my train to Neuchâtel 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭

@RachelReevesMP This woman just doesn’t understand business-or maybe she just holds anything that makes money in contempt. Buried in the budget were so many increases for business. Recording studios was so mean. Shame on you ! You are so stunted. And untruthful.

At yesterday's Wales Investment Summit, my message was clear: Wales is open for business. Last week we delivered the biggest ever Budget investment in Wales – backing semiconductors, green energy, AI and freeports to create high‑skilled jobs.

@Mark1957 @HJoyceGender Simply and well put-thank you.

@HJoyceGender Indeed - men just need to stay out of women’s single sex spaces which the vast majority have done for countless generations, without any fuss or drama

If men try to come into women-only spaces, they will naturally be told to leave. If this will offend them the solution is simple: don't try to come into women-only spaces

@andrelucas @HJoyceGender @johnmcdonnellMP Hear hear. Note how John McD uses violent language-I’m sure women won’t be “dragging” men out. Very male perspective.

@HJoyceGender I wonder if @johnmcdonnellMP is so exercised about, say, age certification enforcement as cinemas. No one wants to turn away customers, but if people insist upon going where they’re not allowed then they have no right to object to getting turned away.

@johnmcdonnellMP No just asked to leave politely. Violent language not necessary.

This is truly shocking. How is this to be enforced? Is the Labour Party bureaucracy seriously suggesting that checks will be made on entrances to the conference hall on whether a person is trans? Are we going to see trans women being dragged from the hall? theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

This toxic waste site in Wigan is SHOCKING state failure. Worst eg I've seen as MP. 1 year, waste still rots, nobody behind bars, primary school kids inhale stench, organised crime winning. National bodies MUST stop it, clean up, and jail criminals. theguardian.com/environment/20…

@joshsimonsmp Saw report on this today in the Guardian . I think you need to go to a broadcaster and make a tv programme because this worked so well with the Post Office. Similar situation in Kent with South East Water. This government is doing nothing. Toothless regulation.
