#radio4 #nickrobinson #emmabarnett nasty and aggressive questioning, constant interruptions of the Greens today and yesterday the Lib Dems. Presenters unable or unwilling to separate their personal politics expected from BBC presenters. I really miss Mishal Hussain and Martha Kearney

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.

Just heard @Emmabarnett on @BBCr4today interrupt a clinician and hospital administrator talking about the A&E crisis to ask if they “any confidence in the current government”. What’s that about?

Please explain to #EmmaBarnett that the government governs for the people, not for business, and is elected by the people, not by business.
If business survives but the people starve, then government will have failed.

#EmmaBarnett: “What’s the worst thing you’ve seen?”
Why must we put up with this vapid, prurient ‘journalism’
Oh! As if to prove the point “Do you want to be Starmer’s Chief of Staff?”
Barnett’s deep end doesn’t reach my ankles.

#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.

Would I be right in thinking #EmmaBarnett is opposed to the #ResidentDoctors strike?
Ms Barnett can only dream of earning a resident doctor’s salary … and wakes up screaming every time.
Today presenters or NHS doctors - which would the public miss most, after a Trump-led apocalypse?

AGAIN Barnett focused on Maggie O’Farrell “dancing to Abba”, rather than any grownup comment about the success of her award-winning novel or the subsequent award-winning film adaptation.
#EmmaBarnett leads the infantilisation of #BBCNews, and the enshittification of Today.

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

Why, #EmmaBarnett?
Why do you ‘normally’ do prison visits after 09:00?
Is it to make it easier to cover up for appalling understaffing overnight, and for the convenience of those working office hours?
You are WRONG. Prison visits at ALL hours are vital.
