Vacuous interview about inflation and daft questions to someone who can afford a golf membership. Get real #C4news

Food inflation is also the result of supermarkets’ greed as their profits sky rocket into billions…that is immoral. Discuss that #C4news

7 day fantasy Budget Wishlist:

Energy is a necessity, flying is a luxury - but energy bills have VAT slapped on them while flying has none. Makes no sense, our tax system needs an overhaul - needs to be made more progressive. Home heating is not a luxury, flying on holiday is. Tax the right thing.

The King of trees...

'The English Oak supports more life than any other native tree species in the UK – a whopping 2,300 animal and fungi species. From forest mammals to insects, many animals flock to oak trees for a source of food and a place to live.'

Badenoch thinks food inflation is up 4%. It shows her ignorance that she has no idea how food prices are sky rocketting. Time to ban MPs subsidised food and drinks alongside their energy bills #PMQs

I bet the EU can’t wait to negoatiate with Reform who have been platformed all day by the BBC and now #C4news Why not invite the Lib Dems or the Green Party?

Lengthy coverage from the US and now Trump loving Frum who’s been interviewed more times by #C4news than I’ve had hot dinners.

The courts are forcing a 6 year old girl to keep the name of the man who raped her mother.

No survivor should face harm from the very system that is meant to protect them. No child should have to carry an abuser’s name.

It’s time to change the system 👇

#politicslive Did i hear ZY correctly cos he said over a million people from the EU were on UC etc

Strange that the number in this report it says less than a million

Strange the BBC can't challenge ZY about his claim

Politicians overall have no idea how children learn and what fosters their love of learning and what turns them off when the system lets them down. Not one expert on the panel to challenge their waffling #PoliticsLive
November 18, 2025 at 12:51 PM
These are the politicians who dictate on children's behaviour? they need to look in the mirror 😬 #PoliticsLive chair totally unable to control the shouting. Not a good look
November 18, 2025 at 12:31 PM
I bet the EU cannot wait to redo a deal with Reform 😄🤣Their claim that there is a huge number of EU nationals on benefits needs a challenge, don't expect one from the BBC #PoliticsLive chair. And now over to Helen Whateley 🙄FGS stop speculating on the budget and give us facts and numbers when known.
