2 hours, 53 minutes to wait for the major headline news
#PetShopBoys are playing some different songs live
#EmmaBarnett fails to make it interesting, resorting instead to infantile giggling
“Come, friendly bombs, and fall on #BBC #R4Today
It isn’t fit for humans these days anyway”
#JohnBetjeman
#R4Today
“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”
#R4Today
“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.
#R4Today
“I am not, in any way, responsible for #Artemis2, but I think I will just talk about how important I am for a few moments. Please indulge me; you are my guest, after all”
#EmmaBarnett can’t believe what they pay her to act like an eight-year old, sniggering at toilets.
#R4Today
#RobertHardman gets an easy plug from #EmmaBarnett
Weird how pro-Trump, pro-royalist sycophants rarely face any challenge
… while Barnett pushes her own personal interests.
#BBCNews
“All these images … it’s hard to get a picture” - #EmmaBarnett
Ironically, the “images” were reports, in words.
Wanted: New presenters for #R4Today. MUST SPEAK ENGLISH
#BBC -“We apologise for inadvertent #antisemitism. Presenters can speak any language they wish, but must back #Israel”
#R4Today
A failed man trots out lies about the “manosphere”, showing their grasp on reality was always tenuous, and #EmmaBarnett gushes
The same #feminist who, only half an hour ago, said “STEM is unsexy”
Dear #BBC,
Please sack them all and start afresh.

#Complicity
#R4Today
#KevinFong: “I CANNOT wait for what is to come”, perhaps explaining why he was not considered suitable to be an #astronaut.
Meanwhile, the #Feminist #EmmaBarnett: “STEM is unsexy”, explaining why she is not the government “Getting Women into Science and Tech” tsar.
#Artemis2 #DumbingDown
#R4Today
The US guest said #Trump might have to ask #NATO for help
On what grounds? NATO is a mutual defence organisation. #USA is NOT under attack; it is an #aggressor
How strange that #EmmaBarnett didn’t pick up on this. She normally seems such an #impartial journalist
🤭😇
#R4Today
A Tiger Woods apologist, who admits being totally wrong about Woods on a previous occasion, gives a sycophantic interview on current concerns, and #EmmaBarnett listens to his bullshit unquestioningly.
Being a drug-abusing womanising adulterer seems to be the way to win Barnett’s sympathy.
#BBC #R4Today
I changed rooms and switched the radio back on to hear “… apparently I was screaming”
Sadly, a plug for Sian Williams’s ‘’Life Changing’, not an apology from #EmmaBarnett for an earlier interview.
Forget the failed Italian spaghetti harvest; #R4Today had just pulled off the most convincing #AprilFool prank in history, by sending #EmmaBarnett to demonstrate #BBC #impartiality.
Please pardon my language, but today’s show is a f’ing disgrace. A fitting coda to Tim Davies’s tenure?
#BBCBalance
#BBC #R4Today
Thank goodness for #EmmaBarnett and #BBCBalance.
The rude, unhinged presenter makes even incompetent government ministers sound like decent human beings.
#BBC #R4Today
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.
And now #EmmaBarnett: “Head of the … er … #NHS is very concerned about medicine supply issues … concern about supplies and … er … you know, ancillary things that doctors need and equipment …”
#AmateurHour #Unscripted? #WingingIt
#R4Today
#EmmaBarnett: “I hadn’t thought, when you spoke of doing a two-week walk in just a weekend, that you might run at night”
Child (Mia): “Why not? It’s a bit late now, isn’t it? Almost halfway through the interview and you’re still not making sense. Don’t we deserve better?”
In my dreams 😂
#BBC #R4Today
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?
#R4Today Someone needs to tell #EmmaBarnett that her job is to ask questions rather than to try to belittle people like the #Doctors representative
#R4Today
#EmmaBarnett: “When (social media platforms) started, they were so pure and so innocent …”
Hmmm … #Facebook was started by #Incels who wanted to badmouth #women who rejected them
Is this a new #feminist definition of pure and innocent?
Why indeed do "We have to leave it there" when there are still 90 minutes of the programme left. Has been a long held criticism by me.
And of course Emma Barnet #EmmaBarnett always closes down an interview when she doesn't agree with the interviewee.
#BBC #R4Today
Louise Casey: (talks eminent sense)
#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.
#BBC #R4Today
Careers advice suggested #EmmaBarnett should be a funeral director.
Has she ever spoken against those creating huge opportunities for funeral directors in #Palestine?
“Thanks very much, Mike. Mike, thanks very much” (07:29)
#EmmaBarnett being paid by the word?
#BBC #R4Todsy
“Why are we obsessed with families? I mean, it’s obvious really”
Thank goodness the #RSC had someone available to give #EmmaBarnett validation as she asked and answered her own questions.
So few celebrities understand that they exist only in the shadow of the truly great.
In todays #Observer,#Today presenters 'jumping ship'. #AmolRajan going, #EmmaBarnett considering same. A personal opinion ? I wouldn't miss either of them,I find both extremely annoying first thing in the morning.
(Still from) AI fake video of Emma Barnett being used to promote dodgy financial product on YouTube
Hooray!
I hope Gary Bellamy takes Emma Barnett with him,
the Today programme may have some listeners return

#BBC #R4Today
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.
#BBCNews #R4Today
Strange to hear #EmmaBarnett gulping like #ChrisPhilp when announcing the drop in #London #homicides.
Glad she was able to report more #shoplifting, though. Wouldn’t want to spoil her entire week this early.
#R4Today
“Skinny jabs”, #EmmaBarnett?
Is this the new depth of #BBC #journalism?
