BBC #AnyQuestions - watch out for the line from Alex Forsyth - we heard from Andy Burnham the Prime Minister this week - am I the only one to take this to mean we could have a different PM next week?!

Diabolically low turnout @ Manchester mayoral byelection is part of reason I'm so against Burnham's devolution plans. A fraction of 25% of folks who turned out 2 vote will decide which political party/agenda the Manchester mayor will follow. Yes, more should vote but folks don't c local as important

@andyburnham.bsky.social could stop this nonsense and free up police, cell space and court time. Almost 3000 people have been processed by a creaking system and cost authorities £millions no doubt. Because of Starmer. Burnham should do better

Silently clapping on a pavement is an offence in the uk? Dystopian. I hope this woman sues the police for wrongful arrest #FreePalestine

Good to see someone with a backbone in FIFA: Cordeiro, who has resigned, said he had no involvement in the proposal. "Most troubling of all is the absence of answers to fundamental questions," he added. "Why this deal? Why now? What oversight exists? Who benefits?" he wrote.

#R4Today going all out on #FossilFuel industry's take on #ClimateCrisis - have we 'spent too long looking at mitigating climate change rather than thinking about how we adapt to it' This is NOT binary FFS + the BBC knows that. We must and should have done both!

Louise Hague on #R4Today ref readmittance of Abbott to LP: 'after the scourge of antisemitism which engulfed the party under Jeremy Corbyn' This is a blatant LIE! Corbyn should sue. It's not what was found. Rewriting history is not a good look. Shame on you @louisehaighmp.bsky.social

Haigh on #R4Today saying whoever you vote for gets to decide policies. Voter apathy needs addressing before minority of electorate choose leaders

Jeremy Bowen on #R4Today on the #WestBank says this won't work.

As north + central American football association joins UEFA in rejecting Infantino's money-spinner, it wouldn't surprise me if massive bribes were now being offered to the remaining 115 football associations to force through the 'deal'. Shame on #FIFA boss www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Just over an hour to go before polls close in the Manchester Mayor by-election and the good old BBC hasn't even mentioned the poll taking place on national output. Curious🤔
