Tiny interview with Zac at about 0735 then Reform guy (or was it Labour?) and then onto ThoughtForTheDay at 0750ish.

Absolutely incensed by Nick Robinson's tone-deaf bullying of the resident doctors' rep on #BBCToday.

I wish the rep had asked Robinson what had happened to HIS salary since 2009 - he is an overpaid blowhard who serves the interest of the wealthy (among which he can safely be numbered).

I just heard BBC Radio 4 interview with Keir Starmer ... I thought he was great ... I've been worrying about Labour getting things wrong, but he seems to me a very safe pair of hands. Even a little inspiring, but that's probably just me being over emotional. Am feeling positive for the first time for ages.

Just turned on #bbctoday and they seem to be debating the definition of “working people”.
Are business owners and landlords “working people”? Yes they are, of course. But unlike the folk they employ, they are also direct owners of capital assets.
The Labour Party is, for once, being awfully socialist. The rise in employers’ contributions to NI is a tax on capital ownership.
Now one can debate the merits or otherwise of this, but that is the expected tax. #labour

Conservatives learn nothing. #BBCtoday program reports they are still blathering on about their failed expensive and ludicrous Rwanda policy. They lost the #election FFS #racism #migration

Someone on the Today programme has a real thing about Council Tax pushing on why it's not being reformed and revalued.

Perhaps they think their house is mis-rated.

Is Emma Barnett, good, bad or indifferent?

It's unsurprising, it's her first day so is it to be expected that some cod personalised items are needed for the audience to get to know who she?

I've heard a lot of first days for many contributors, and no not to this extent.

It's not the Emma Barnett Show. But that is consistent with her career.

#BBCToday #Hunt displays the same Tory heartless hubris & incompetence. Tories plane to abolish NI, according to #IFS this will cost £45Billion. Hunt attacks welfare with extremist glee, despicable. https://rb.gy/h0ioyu #SunakOut #ToryGreed #RejoinEU #ToryChaos #StandWithUkraine #Internationalism #fraternity
Income tax likely to go up if national insurance scrapped, Hunt suggests

Labour says chancellor’s ambition to eventually abolish NI would cost £46bn a year, and party questions how move would be paid for

On the #BBCToday programme, the Chief Rabbi has not supported war crimes in Gaza, nor opposed them. He has ignored them. That is the most morally reprehensible position of all. And of course, criticising him is #antisemitism #gaza #bbc
