Zoe Gardner<p>Racist demonstrations, reportedly organised by Neo-Nazi groups, have been held outside asylum hostels around London. They have turned ugly &amp; violent at times. First question on <a class="hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23r4today" target="_blank">#r4today</a> to a local MP: “do you have sympathy with protesters?” I switched off. Enough.</p>
Jonathan Schofield<p>Caught a bit of <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/r4today" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>r4today</span></a> where Dr Madeleine Sumption from the Oxford Migration Observatory at COMPAS did a good job of saying, as diplomatically as possible, that, as with the last government’s obsession with Rwanda, today’s slew of ‘stop the boats’ tactics might shift immigration “at the margins”, but not appreciably.</p><p>Diplomatic because, in about half an hour, David Lammy is going to be on the show bloviating about it all, no doubt diligently avoiding reality </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/@urlyman/114845298867744130" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">mastodon.social/@urlyman/11484</span><span class="invisible">5298867744130</span></a></p>
Zoe Gardner<p>There are rumours that they’ll announce a deal with France in the next week This one HAS to move away from repeated years of deals based on an utterly failed enforcement approach The UK must take our share of refugees &amp; we NEED immigrants desperately. Safe passage is the ONLY real option. <a class="hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23r4today" target="_blank">#r4today</a></p>
Zoe Gardner<p>As many as 20,000 homeless asylum seekers have crossed in small boats so far in the good weather this year Starmer MUST negotiate w FR to provide a safe alternative way for people to reach us Or these few desperate people will be used to tear our country’s soul apart <a class="hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23r4today" target="_blank">#r4today</a></p>

Ed Bridges<p>A classic bit of England-centric reporting on <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/r4today" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>r4today</span></a>. The lead story was the extension of free school meals in England, and to discuss they had a talking head from the IFS and a plummy-voiced self-styled “food campaigner”.</p><p>Why not ask someone from <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/Scotland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Scotland</span></a>, <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/Wales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wales</span></a> or <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/NorthernIreland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NorthernIreland</span></a> about whether their governments’ policies (which already go further than the proposed English one will) have worked, and their impact‽</p><p><a href="https://toot.wales/tags/NotInventedHereSyndrome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NotInventedHereSyndrome</span></a><br><a href="https://toot.wales/tags/Devolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Devolution</span></a><br><a href="https://toot.wales/tags/UKpolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UKpolitics</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/UKpol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UKpol</span></a></p>
Jonathan Schofield<p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/r4today" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>r4today</span></a> currently running a segment on how salt marshes store carbon and studiously avoiding *any* mention of emitting less carbon in the first place</p>
Rob Pumphrey<p>Journalists drooling over the prospect of a war with Russia. Sigh <br><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/r4today" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>r4today</span></a></p>
Zoe Gardner<p>Like others, I understand why they released the fact that the perpetrator of the horrendous Liverpool attack was a white British man. But it is a bad sign of where our country of at. Nationality or ethnicity are not the causes of crime &amp; should not be our first concern <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23r4today" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#r4today</a></p>
Zoe Gardner<p>The Greek Coast Guard has long been known to systematically enact reckless &amp; deadly push-backs of migrant boats in the Mediterranean. For once there may be some small measure of accountability after they apparently caused the death of 650 men, women &amp; children in the Pylos tragedy <a class="hashtag" href="https://bsky.app/search?q=%23r4today" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#r4today</a></p>

Jonathan Schofield<p>…let’s pretend we’re interested in the concerns about the power consumption demands of AI. We’ll deliver a couple of pertinent and genuinely interesting stats as a setup for the interview. </p><p>And who are we going to speak to to drill down into those concerns? The fucking AWS CEO, that’s who. </p><p>We’ll ask him a question about it and then let his motivated answer go *completely unchallenged* </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/r4today" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>r4today</span></a></p>
Jonathan Schofield<p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/r4today" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>r4today</span></a> just giving Amazon’s AWS a free AI-boosterism PR opp. </p><p>Token facile questioning. </p><p>Fucking useless programme</p>
Jonathan Schofield<p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/r4today" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>r4today</span></a> uncritically boosting AI this morning </p><p>😩</p>
Jonathan Schofield<p>…I mean even <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/r4today" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>r4today</span></a> this morning was unusually clear that blocking UN aid is utterly indefensible. </p><p>What a fucking shit show. </p><p>Perhaps if Labour want enthusiasm for them in the local elections they shouldn’t be facilitating those with an enthusiasm for murder</p>
Jonathan Schofield<p>…cos they had no time. They needed to move onto allowing Dario Amadei, CEO of Anthropic, to spout **absolute bullshit**, unchallenged by Amol Rajan. </p><p>You invited a booster on, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/r4today" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>r4today</span></a>, and you didn’t bring a sharp object anywhere near his absurd AI bubble</p>
