Paul Collins (@PaulCol01201464) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne Nandy tries in vain to defend the indefensible as Labour kills hospitality. Employers' national insurance rises hit pay and jobs. The government offers no help to increase wages. Yet Reeves says no to levelling capital gains tax with income tax and launching a wealth levy.

daisy may (@DaisyM40397) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Zoe and jasmine have been awful additions to the show
-
Gilly B (@GillyB9) reported@ls_1983 @BBCiPlayer I was flicking between football and Olympics last night. The commentary on tnt was awful.
-
doffcocker (@doffcocker) reported@BBCArchive @BBCiPlayer the phrase “eclectic collection” is doing a lot of work in that sentence and i need to know more
-
Rockmusic70's (@Rockmusic70S) reported@PatrickJoh21665 @GWandShows @BBCiPlayer Gorgeous and after the awful weather we've been having

Aisha B (@miss_Pink101) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Bea must be honey twin she bit more crazier one 🤪 there going be trouble ahead if Bea scams Suki 😳 for honey incident In the shop ?
-
Alison Ward (@delca1) reported@BBCMorningLive @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Another big issue with pavement parking is new estates, often flats in converted commercial buildings not having to provide enough parking as local councils think it’ll encourage people to use public transport rather than cars. This will never work!
-
Easphc (@Eaaphc2023) reported@StephenNolan @gordonlyons1 @BBCiPlayer I call mornings the Peugeot school run as all the new Peugeots outside the school every morn. I know the drivers and they don’t work. *** all wrong of them
-
George Spence (@georgespence1) reported@BBCMOTD @BBCiPlayer That screeching woman commentator on Arsenal game would do your ears in. Had to turn the sound off. Terrible from @BBCSport women are not compatible with the men's game.
-
Benny H (@BennyH391512) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Perhaps making it clear what conditions it does and doesn’t treat would help And having a 🇫🇷 style insurance system
-
Terry Finn QPM (@Zibatsu) reported@DetectoristsA @BBCiPlayer Small Prophets is not a patch on Detectorists. I seem to be in the minority. Really can’t get behind the hype of SP. Detectorists however, pure quality.
-
Brodie Bruce (@eddie_corrigan) reported@PayReps26654 @Helen_Barnard @BBCiPlayer I’d say that’s an Amazon or internet issue not the BBC’s
-
Jamie Walters (@JamieWalt78) reported@bbcpress @BBCiPlayer I know it’s for a good cause but this was just terrible I don’t think I laughed once it was just painfully bad.
-
Moto Man (@KevCawley) reported@Lord_Sugar @BBCiPlayer I commented on the first episode how dim they all are, out of curiosity I watched the 2nd episode FML Alan, you’ve certainly got your work cut out with this lot!
-
chez_80 (@cheeky_chezza) reportedHas anyone watched 'Babies' on iplayer? I have found it a good watch, but the dumb laughing sound between the men and the black guy sounding like Brian Belo from BB years ago has been very distracting. Can't work out if it's deliberate, overacting, or natural 🤔 #bbc @BBCiPlayer
-
thetodd (@thetoddy111) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer As if ANY of them are any better As if we coukd have faith in them Theyre ALL awful
-
.. (@_lg_1972) reported@EnglandRugby @BBCiPlayer We are terrible. What do we practice aside from kick chase ? Our passing is atrocious
-
Les Twigg (@LesTwigg) reported@antonydandrea1 @BBCiPlayer Took us numerous attempts to even log on then when we eventually got to the program it would only play a few seconds then start buffering. Pausing it for a couple of minutes seemed to do the trick. No problem with ITV.
-
Sophie Glenister🦉🐈🌷🌸🍰⚽️ (@SophieAhmed2) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer Lauren is beautiful but a terrible actor, she either shouts or mumbles most of the time. And of course she has another disaster this week, she's always doomed!
-
wbd (@chazul11) reported@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer What we’re dealing with is a woke academic who is again using this falsehood toxic masculinity! These are yobs and the problem is ultras and the entitlement of Celtic football club who due to victimhood believe they can do what they want and the issue is the reaction only
-
Paul R (@SilentHitoshura) reported@bbcdebatenight @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer Invading the pitch isn’t the issue, the retaliation from Huns was the issue. 100% of the blame like with the Ibrox club and they need to do better in the future
-
Ryan Glendenning ✨ (@RyanSoapKing25) reported@bbceastenders @BBCOne @BBCiPlayer (2/2) #EastEnders Phil took a massive risk in calling in a favour for Mark which landed Mark in debt in the first place so I can't see Phil helping Mark again especially when he's got Lexi and Nigel to think about. Don't think Sharon would want to help Mark either if she knew.
-
Gee_McK (@Gee_McK) reported@BBCSport @BBCiPlayer Stop mucking about with your website! Looks awful, why the white background????
-
Saor Alba (@lickle_monster) reported@ITVX fancy getting the Ireland v Scotland 6 nations match up on replay or something so folk can watch it that couldn’t see it live? Don’t have these issues with @BBCiPlayer when they show the matches. Just saying.
-
Shaun Berry (@shauntberry) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCiPlayer @BBCOne And straight away FB is focussed and seething about Jenricks comment. Terrible presenter of QT. He’s not even on!
-
kylee mooney (@KyleeMumof4) reported@SundaeLolz @BBCiPlayer Im with sky and its on their but says due to a technical error it cant be played. But its not even showing up on iplayer. Strange
-
Ian Smedley (@smeg9) reportedAlways know when @BBCNews is about to switch to local news even on @BBCiPlayer because the quality absolutely tanks. I understood why it might on satellite, but on iPlayer??
-
The Corporate Dude (@CorporateDude) reported@anon_opin I love @BBCiPlayer, it's years ahead of the awful @ITVX, but they need to track my usage and see that I skip EVERY SINGLE TRAILER. I don't want to watch a trailer for something else, I want to watch what I've selected.
-
Alistair Lennox (@AlistairLennox) reported@bbcquestiontime @BBCSounds @BBCiPlayer How many extra people have moved to the UK since 2000? Answer that and you’ve answered the reason behind the housing problem!
-
Elle 🌸🗽 (@hellosunshine52) reported@BBCiPlayer could you please stop including the result in the headline of the Olympics segments on iPlayer? There is little point in watching after work when you spoil it. Please stop doing this urgently. It’s bad enough the way you edit the segments. Stop spoiling the events.
