#EmmaBarnett interviewed Yvette Cooper a while ago, when her response to Cooper admitting her unhappiness at the then Labour leadership, repeatedly asked:

"Why don't you join the Conservatives?"

😶

Surprised she lasted two years, to be honest.

I wish that #EmmaBarnett would ask open questions rather than proffering an opinion (her’s or another’s) masked as a question. Even the Israeli diplomat she interviewed this morning sounded non-plussed when she seemed to be offering him attack lines.

I was interested in how #EmmaBarnett mentioned the marathon-running, very hypothetically, but very heavily implying that Arday lied about them, which as far as I can ascertain he didn't. But everyone will have been left with the impression that that bit was lies. Makes me distrust the BBC.

Nominative determinism to the fore on #BBC #Radio4 #Today as the morally repugnant #EmmaBarnett speaks for all Barnet "Everyone knows black people can't run! Raise for charity some money? Never!"
People have investigated these claims and found they are true
One of the most extraordinary interviews I’ve ever heard on BBC Radio 4 Today programme. And I’ve been listening for decades. Literally open-mouthed listening to it.
ON the radio Alexandra Pringle, apparently the former editor in chief of Bloomsbury is asserting that of course memoirs aren't true stories and no publishers are not responsible for checking books. This well spoken lady is achieving tech bro level of don't be so naive it's not MY business

Why raise “30 marathons in 35 days” as if it is in doubt , #EmmaBarnett?

As @monkemma.bsky.social has clearly shown, not only did that feat happen, but it was comprehensively covered by media, and there were numerous witnesses

Why is #BBCNews #R4Today still #complicit in the fatal #racist pile-on?

Is there any part of Emma Barnetts life she keeps private? Why the constant stream of stories about her health. Keep it private. Stop broadcasting your private life! Celebs are the first to complain about a lack of privacy. Is it surprising? #EmmaBarnett #KeepItPrivate #NoOneWantsToKnow #SellOut

#EmmaBarnett: “Only on this programme, Charles Darwin: more to do. A very serious conversation about tickling. Have a good one. Laugh”

Jayne Manfredi watches a programme on the crippling impact of endometriosis, and the story of the 23-year tennis career of Rafael Nadal 🎾📺

TV review: Emma Barnett: Fighting endometriosis and Rafa
EMMA BARNETT: Fighting endometriosis (BBC 1, 1 June) is critical viewing, particularly for those of us concerned about the parlous state of women’s healthcare. Someone with more than a vested interest is the broadcast journalist, writer, and Today...

BBC Sounds, ‘Today’ for 25 May FF to 1:23:26 An ordinary Reform working-class bloke (Eton, Edinburgh, Oxford, Political Advisor to David Cameron, Political Secretary to Boris Johnson, son of Prue Leith) makes mincemeat of Emma Barnett (not really, well worth the listen!). #EmmaBarnett #Superstar

“To protect the identity of the #rape #survivor, her words are spoken by an actor … however, to minimise the impact of her words on her #rapists and any other potential rapists, and to support the phallocentric status quo, we have chosen a very poor actor” - #EmmaBarnett

Celebrating #emmabarnett at #r4today just now for taking apart Danny Kruger live on air for shielding Reform's misogynistic candidate in Makerfield. If this is the "best" Reform can present, the UK is toast, should these men ever come into power.

Shocking to hear an #NHS doctor refer to the effect of #miscarriage on “women over 30”, without #JustinWebb butting in to ask if she meant “people”.

At least #EmmaBarnett was there to mansplain the benefit of progesterone to the alleged ‘expert’.

Does Ms Barnett work for #BigPharma too?

#EmmaBarnett: “… #KemiBadenoch will presumably continue to demand #KeirStarmer resigns”

Good stuff. Don’t wait for things to happen before reporting them. Don’t even rely on press releases announcing that they WILL happen.

No, Ms Barnett, just vomit up your febrile dreams as ‘news’.

#PetShopBoys are playing some different songs live

#EmmaBarnett fails to make it interesting, resorting instead to infantile giggling

“Over to #EmmaBarnett for the sport”

EB: “I’m with last year’s #GrandNational winner. Mr Jockey, you won last year, but haven’t even ridden in the race since. Are you a washed-up has been?

“You ride an #Arab stallion. The #antisemitism is appalling. Your children deserve to be massacred”

“Slightly ironic” that #Greece said they wanted to speak directly to young people, but made the announcement on a #SocialMedia platform young people use - #EmmaBarnett

Clearly the Greek government needs lessons in communication from one of the worst presenters in UK.
