I block transphobes on sight just as I block racists and homophobes so don't waste your time with your bile, bigotry, nonsense and verbal abuse.🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

Reform's Robert Jenrick has said today that bringing back imperial measures would help exports to the US, apparently unaware that while US uses the same terminology for measures like pints the units of volume are different. 🤡 (via Guardian).

Telegraph's Simon Heffer says Liz Truss's new book is the most deranged book he's ever read. Fair enough. But if we're talking about "deranged" Simon Heffer said in 2019 that Jeremy Corbyn wanted to reopen Auschwitz.

To make it more absurd they then abandoned the live sentencing feed before the judge had finished because it was time for the weather. Is it intern week at #bbcnews? @newswatchbbc

#BBCNews abandoned Burnham's Downing Street speech on rough sleeping to cover the sentencing of an American singer, Chris Brown. BBC's priorities and news judgments are shot to pieces. @BBCNews @newswatchbbc

Webb also allowed Tice to spout nonsense about anxiety and even chuckled in agreement at one point. Nobody gets PIP for feeling anxious because they lost their notes or lost their car keys. Clinical anxiety is a very different thing and can wreck people's lives. #r4today

Justin Webb said, if I heard correctly, that people on PIP get £1700 a week. But £1,700 a week would be nearly 9 times the actual maximum and is not possible under the rules. #r4today

I learn my GP surgery employs a "Diabetic Nurse" which invites the response "Physician, heal thyself!"

Unlike rich public schoolboy Jeremy Hunt your average young NEET doesn't have the luxury of starting a hare-brained business exporting Oxford Marmalade to Japan which goes bust because Japanese don't eat preserves for breakfast. #bbclaurak

Kuenssberg sarcastically calling the Prime Minister "A.Burnham" Coming up we've got "R.Jenrick" - or possibly not. #bbclaurak

A prolonged average 20pt lead across all main pollsters.

For a few days I can't stop my mind converting GMT back to BST. 🕰️ It's like the way my parents' generation would convert decimal prices back to the 'old money' although some continued doing that for decades.

Had a dekko at Celebrity Gogglebox and enjoyed Paul Whitehouse's comment on Celebrity Traitors: "How old is the target audience? Four?"

So annoying when you're enjoying a lovely sleep in the armchair and you're woken up by loud and inconsiderate snoring. Then you realise it was coming from you. 😴🤦‍♂️

Justin Webb couldn't move Alastair Campbell away from his criticisms of Israel fast enough. #r4today

In this talk of stockpiling for crises it's important to remember that people who struggle to provide for day-to-day living won't have the resources to also build up emergency supplies of food and essentials. #Newsnight #bbcnews #C4News

When #bbcpm talked about Burnham going on Gogglebox they didn't mention it's an annual celebrity edition to raise money for cancer research. I think that's a pretty key point but of course it undermines the insinuation it's a piece of frivolity.

Is the BBC going to state the political donations of every business person they interview in the way that Anna Foster said Dale Vince gives money to Labour? #r4today

Geoff Norcott has been given the "comedian" seat on tonight's Question Time, a seat once occupied bu Russell Brand. #bbcqt

Richard Dawkins has just described trans people as "poor deluded freaks." That's hate speech and it's appalling that it could be thought acceptable to describe trans people or any vulnerable minority in those terms on a public forum.

I think I've discovered you can be licensed to practice as a doctor in the UK and work in General Practice without being a Registered GP and without having a qualification in General Practice. I'll probably be corrected if I'm wrong.
