Did two very contrasting radio interviews on AI destroying all humans: Nicky Campbell on 5Live, where the discussion was a decent "let's think the issues through" perspective and Radio Ulster's Talkback where they were deliberately leaning into the panic and I hope you could hear my eyerolls.

My question to Trump about the missile strike on an Iranian school — and the lack of answers about it, 10 weeks on — seems to have struck a chord. Here are my thoughts on why the media need to be persistent, especially on matters of actual life-and-death. (From Times Radio.)

“Watching Zionists, Islamists and Fundamentalist Christians lob missiles at each other is not exactly a ringing endorsement for the monotheistic traditions: three faiths united by a shared heritage, scripture, and enthusiasm for turning the Middle East into a live-fire theological debate.”

Well, whaddayaknow, that US trade deficit figure for October looks like a rogue month. Incidentally the US has been trying to make tariffs bring back manufacturing for as long as the UK has been trying to make Brexit work. Same level of success. Same denial. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/29/b...

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.
