The BBC should change the name of Radio4 's #weekinwestminster to Groupthink as that's what it sounds like today.

This still seems to be most significant piece of info which rarely gets a mention. If the missiles hitting Cyprus came, not from Iran, but from USA or Israel, would Ms Badenoch suggest we start shooting "archers" in New York or Tel Aviv? #r4today #weekinwestminster

Good interview Zac. Murdocracts don't like it up-em! Wonder what "democracy volunteers" make of Farage's Tory defectives not holding a bi-election. #r4today #weekinwestminster

Been pretty obvious that FPTP is unfit for purpose for decades. Still have a copy of the Jenkins Report in my desk (1999) If having Farage and his buffons in power is the price we have to pay for proper democracy; so be it! They wouldn't last long! #PRNow #weekinwestminster

Also people need to stop walking round the streets gazing at their phones. Would you walk around with £500 in your hands? #weekinwestminster

In the short term, yes, but it's daft to expect people to trek across the world and pay smugglers until they get to the Channel.

The only policy to 'stop the boats' would be to open a safe route for asylum. #weekinwestminster

No Christopher Hope, the UK-US "trade deal" is very wide-ranging
It raises tariffs on UK products in the US to 10% on almost everything we sell them
Beef and - one day - steel might be 0%, but cars attract a tariff four times what it was last year ("reduced" from eleven times)

As someone mentioned yesterday, according to OFCOM guidelines, GBNews shouldn't even broadcasting. Asking one of their headcases on is alright for the BBC, though. #weekinwestminster

Give me five minutes to interview Cooper and Philp, to ask their actual motives "stopping the boats", "smashing the gangs", refusing to accept asylum seekers.
Then give me five minutes to interview a variety of "journalists", to ask them why they never ask those questions.

#weekinwestminster Jeremy Hunt tries to shift blame for NHS issues to a Blair policy in 2003 - seems to have forgotten he was a health secretary for 6 years

If I'd been elected to the Commons in 1987 (no chance), my life would have been very, very different; my second child might not have been born, and would certainly have been a different person. . .

Trump's gibberings should not be treated as news.
NATO leaders bowing and scraping before the naked orange emperor should.

Most of us can pronounce "nuclear" correctly.
An amazing number of political and media types apparently can't.

Someone on #WeekinWestminster had the maturity to say that because some people were delighted and others worried Parliament had work to to to compromise. Oh that they had seen that on Brexit.
