@superswingfire @EliModnar @Affronter84 @BBCPM So you refuse to believe the swathe of independent journalists who verified the story, thinking them part of some vast conspiracy to hide the truth, but do believe a random account on twitter? If you reply to this I may take a while to respond as I'll be laughing for days.

@Nigel_Farage Would you pay for it or would you give the money to your mrs to avoid paying tax?

Just watching poor Ed Davey speak. He is obsessed with me. I am happy to pay for a psychiatrist.

The most vocal critics of allowing people to decide what to do with their own body when suffering terminal illness are all motivated by religious belief. The same as abortion. #politicslive

I believe this caller just admitted to knowledge of a murder, on air. #bbcaq

I don't understand why a process based entirely on lies should be respected, democratic or not. #bbcaq

New Labour MPs scrabbling around totally unable to make up their own minds on an issue as important as assisted dying goes to show how far the Labour bar has been lowered. #politicslive

@JustinBaileyart I don't live near one, or any proposals. As for the other things, if it's disrupting the lives or views of the people who already live there some compensation is fine. Anyway, Twitter has broken your brain, try engaging with less hostility in future. #politicslive

@FigerRoll Many people have to live by roads, railways, power stations, airports, warehouses, industrial farms - why are you so special? What's wrong with a solar farm? It's nimby talk. #politicslive

If you live near an airport you're paid a sum each year to compensate for the noise and disruption. I don't think it's unreasonable to introduce something similar for those near wind or solar farms. #politicslive

I've got very little time for MPs who plan on voting against assisted dying due to safeguarding who don't say what safeguards they would accept. #politicslive

@JustinBaileyart Don't be disingenuous, for people who already live in these places it's not unreasonable, and as those people move on the cost will reduce to zero. #politicslive

@FigerRoll What noises do solar farms produce? #politicslive

@RoryStewartUK You on Bluesky yet?

1 thing that strikes me as someone who got it wrong is how Trump victory’s become a mini Rorschach test. A few 100,000 secret votes in swing states now represents and validates a 100 worldviews. What are the most striking unusual explanations of victory you’ve come across here?

I can't say if Donald Trump is a Nazi sympathiser but it's a documented fact he's had sympathy for people who are Nazis. #politicslive

Good thing we spent the first ten minutes of #bbcaq veering between complete appeasement of Putin and full blown nuclear war. Really added to the discussion and made it worth missing out on more nuanced voices.

This callers local must be closed today #bbcaq

No sensible callers on this then, good vetting #bbcaq

Oh ffs, two nutters in a row. #bbcaq

Your plan is 100% appeasement caller #bbcaq

Anne Widdecome truly is among the most insufferable public figures in the UK #bbcaq

Donald Trump did not write the Art of the Deal #bbcaq

@Elaineewald3 It's going up by another £240, it's already gone up 10x. Something Labour promised wouldn't happen. I don't think I can explain in more clearly so I'll leave it there, have a great Friday.

@FigerRoll The tuition fee is going up by £240 which will be paid back over time! Which is not a massive hike.Wes Streeting is using some of the private sector to get the waiting lists down! He is not privatising the NHS, he stood up in parliament and said so!

When Labour brought in Uni fees they promised they'd stay low and just be a contribution from students towards their education. Now, after the Conservatives made them 10X higher Labour are raising them again. #bbcqt

@Elaineewald3 I understood what you were saying, mine was the Labours promise on keeping tuition fees were meaningless, which is nothing to do with the Tories. Keep it in mind if they try to introduce some form of NHS privatisation they promise will be limited.

@FigerRoll My point is there’s no money! Because there was no investment and that is to do with the Tory’s 🙄
