#Newsnight Why is BBC News continually platforming Trump’s incoherent garbage? Enough!

#r4today UK government needs to ring fence startups from acquisitive US buyouts. The biggest US tech companies have been built on a significant chunk of UK talent.

Good deal of positive spin being put on US tech buyouts of smaller UK companies #r4today

Buyouts aren’t “investment” when jobs, orders, & tax revenue is disappearing offshore.

#Trump has proved in LA by deploying National Guards & now active US Marines. What many Europeans already knew , Trump is more likely to order US Troops to shoot Americans than he's to ask them to help Ukraine or Europe defend itself from Russia/#Putin.

#r4today Given the state of the current US administration it would be madness to sell out to the dollar.

It’s beyond a joke. Nick Robinson on #R4Today this morning fawning over Zia Yusuf was acutely embarrassing. Bloke had about 20mins of softball chat, off the back of an irrelevant power squabble among a party of 5-6 MPs. It simply has to stop.

Well Robinson just debased is title as public broadcasting journalist. Quote “I’m delighted to speak with Zia Yusuf of the Reform party”. #r4today

Donald Trump and Stephen Miller post vile content, name call, insult, incite violence, promote hate against Democrats and anyone who disagrees with them, promote dangerous propaganda, and spread misinformation daily. Yet the White House cannot handle when Moran speaks the truth and calls them out.

They’ve already announced in the preamble that they’re going to ask a Trump adviser “whether calling in the National Guard is justified.” I think we can guess the answer to that already. It might have been better to speak to a person who understands US laws but what do I know. #r4today

The cost of energy in the UK is unsustainable - this is the number one thing the government needs to deal with now. Everything else is secondary. #r4today

More of this. More of ordinary people standing up to the government militias abducting their neighbours. More resistance 💪
Minneapolis… San Diego… Folks are pushing back.

This is only going to get worse.

Please stop interviewing #Israeli government spokespersons unless you interview #Hamas representatives too.

Obviously Hamas are considered #terrorists, guilty of #atrocities against #civilians, and cannot be trusted to tell the truth, so both sides would then be treated equally.

#r4today The more these people push with pressured speech the more we’ve had enough of Israel’s lie machine. Insufferable.

#r4today So there’s a genetic propensity to cultish thinking and beliefs. Probably one of the most profound points not picked up upon by Robinson.
