I hate Barnett thinking she has to explain what happened. "Oh, one more Liberation Day story", as Webb finishes a Liberation Day story.
"On Americast, of course," after Webb says he'll discuss something on Americast.
And her inane comments after EVERY single weather forecast. #r4today

Is it my imagination but does Justin Webb sound positively buoyed up by this ridiculous so-called liberation day? He sounds like he has a spring in his step. I can’t make the man out. #r4today

This pathetic doffing the cap to a megalomaniac who’s devoid of reason, common sense, humanity and compassion is completely ill founded. Trump is sui generis and trying to appeal to any normal approach based on reason is pointless. Have nothing to do with Trump and have some integrity.#r4today

What a refreshing change to have Anna Foster on the Today team. A respected foreign correspondent and journalist. No ego. No Americast expert praising Donald Trump. Doing her best to explain to the audience what is really happening. I wish her well and hope the others learn from her. #r4today

Good morning Prime Minister. What sort of gaslighting by BBC Radio 4 is this. It’s time to call out Farage for what he is. Somebody who has ruined British economy because of Brexit, a lickspittle to Trump, an absent MP. In short a lying stain of a charlatan. #r4today Nauseating bonhomie.

Mr Robinson talking to our German friends with a dismissive tone, referring to “you lot” and trying to create divisions between Germany and France is a shocking way to conduct an interview.
To make matters worse you then cut him off to go to the weather. Dreadful lack of manners. #r4today

Helen Wateley, is that the best her Majesty’s opposition can come up with? Bumbling, inarticulate and a proven failure in government. The arrogance of former government ministers who think a 14 year track record of failure allows them to pontificate on #4today as if every utterance is important.

Democrats are really going to regret not standing up to Trump, not just because they’ll lose voters, but because they’ll lose a democratic system where having more voters is the way you gain power.

🚨NEW: A French scientist had his laptop searched at the US border & was sent back to Europe after private messages were found criticising Trump.
He was accused of messages which “can be described as terrorism”.
This is what a slide into FASCISM looks like.
