Children’s TV nowadays?
‘Sooty, Sweep & Robby’ is my 4 year old granddaughter’s favourite programme.
She loves Sooty’s magic tricks, Sweep’s stupid jokes and Robby’s really silly speeches.

The biggest traitor to our country in modern times is Farage.
Supporter of our deadliest enemies - Putin and Trump.
How in the world can the ”patriots” in the UK support Farage and Reform?
Makes no sense.

I'm a lot more concerned about why the BBC and Sky cover this crap live than I am about the editing of a film on Panorama.
Mhari Aurora asks a pretty fair question, is booed by the crowd and told off by Dear Leader. Then Noa Hoffman, lobs a dogwhistle soft ball about making "our high streets beautiful again", not "covered in illegal migrant vape shops," to great applause.

🎯 Davey is spot on. "We can have criticism of the BBC, but within that, we need to recognise how valuable an institution it is [and how] precious to our country. And that's one of the reasons why people like President Trump and Nigel Farage, want to undermine the BBC." 👏🏽~AA

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?

Right up there with Robert Jenrick happily watching a man with a knife board a train because his fare-dodging video was more important, then attacking Labour figures who were nowhere near a man who boarded a train and stabbed people, who had no ability to act in defence of the public.

Wow #r4today you’re making any other station but yours inordinately attractive today. Twisting a supposedly sophisticated examination of modern economics so that the talking point is the winter fuel allowance is next-level.

There were 115 prisoners mistakenly released in the final year of the last Conservative Government alone.
Interesting that it only becomes a major national scandal the second these releases can be blamed on a Labour government
