A little - but none on the legal issues I'm afraid.

Folding staff into DEFRA isn't just "rearranging furniture" - it strips away their legal status as independent entities. #r4today

If Badenoch & Griffith get their way and scrap these watchdogs then DEFRA officials better brush up fast on flood defences, housing targets... and legal challenges. #r4today #bbcbreakfast

Andrew Griffith conveniently forgets his party cut the budgets of the Environment Agency & Natural England to the bone and now wants to fold them into DEFRA, ditching their legal independence... #r4today #bbcbreakfast

Starve the Environment Agency of funding for years until it's on its knees, then claim it's so broken and useless that you have to abolish it entirely. Truly a Tory masterclass in conservation... #r4today #bbcbreakfast

Kemi Badenoch’s grand rebrand is quite the road to Damascus - except instead of a blinding flash of divine light leading to a new path, it’s just the exact same old policies driving us straight back to the same old destination... #r4today #bbcbreakfast

Tories to pledge to scrap Environment Agency and Natural England

Badenoch's "Conservatism" only conserves one thing - the interests of the rich and the entitled, to the absolute detriment of everyone else... #r4today www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Shadow chancellor will also promise to scrap affordable homes regulations as part of strategy to refocus on growth

#r4today talking about areas in Middlesbrough which none of their presenters have any idea about. BBCNewsnight did a show years ago on Grangetown - these areas are now dumping grounds for untouchable scum - god help the residents that cannot get out and who dare not complain...

"No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched..." #r4today

Why does RAM, GPUs and NPUs cost so much... why can't I run a good local LLM properly... why do we need that datacentre? #r4today

Jeremy Bowen said something pertinent - all of which will be lost, in seconds, like tears in rain... #r4today

#r4today plays "Fanfare For the Common Man" - yet are totally unable to walk a mile in their shoes...

No, but as-per-usual, you missed all the reasons 'why'... #r4today bsky.app/profile/cpns...

#r4today laying the groundwork for others to prop up the Conservative Party in the next general election...

This morning, I'm mostly listening to "the establishment" - protecting the establishment on #r4today

I went to a comprehensive school where there were kids naturally gifted at tennis, golf, and cricket, but none of them ever got the chance to play these sports at any recognisable level... #r4today

When are members of the Labour Party going to get a chance to vote for their new leader or is "doing a Sunak" ok now? #r4today

The public clings to the words of those in the establishment who brand themselves as “anti-establishment,” supporting them regardless of evidence to the contrary. It’s as if the working-class hero meant to lead us out of this mess could never shatter the glass ceiling... #r4today

022

That's OK then... I'm sure they'll do a great job at reforming the welfare system...

000

I have no confidence - whatsoever - that this government can reform PIP in a way that does not significantly increase the hardship that our most vulnerable are already enduring. #r4today

TFTD - autism has many layers, but using those with severe autism as scapegoats for a historically underfunded national defence strategy or social care system might not be the best way forward... #r4today

Many things start in the U.S. and end up in the U.K. Funny thing is - Farage is about to find out that Trump is widely ignored and is effectively already "in the bin"... #r4today

Today it's the autistic - yesterday it was the anxious & depressed, tomorrow it will be whoever else they need to throw under the bus to protect their wealth. #r4today

Who would have thought that a veterinary sector run by corporations and vulture capital would end up screwing over pets and their owners? #r4today

The #FIFAWorldCup has been a nice break from all the efforts to prop up the Conservative Party... to the point where I even tuned in to @talkSPORT radio... only to realise there’s more politics in sport than on #r4today... which, tbh, isn’t difficult...

Labour hasn’t learned a single thing from the Conservative Party constantly changing leaders - not one thing. #r4today

040

Restore is cutting into Reform votes and Wes Streeting wants a Labour leadership contest... This is a dangerous way to try and increase the standing of the Conservative Party... #r4today

Wes Streeting and Burnham are being used & praised by hacks whose only goal is to promote and protect the Conservative Party... if one of these lightweights becomes PM then they will be shot down in flames. #r4today

There aren’t many politicians who recognise their limitations or when they’ve landed a role they’re best suited for - but Streeting takes it to another level. It’s almost Mandelsonesque how many people have conveniently forgotten just how bad he really is. #r4today

230

Streeting is a prime example of why promoting someone beyond their abilities can backfire - it only inflates their sense of self-importance. #r4today

Google is integrating AI into Android phones and Google Workspace apps at a rate that is astonishing... even Android Auto integration - the more we ask - the more they know what we 'want' - security around this is a concern though... #r4today

Yeah... they all say that... I wonder why? #r4today

I don't hear anyone saying that AI will bring a net gain in jobs... #r4today

Streeting had a bit to do with Mandelson didn't he? Ends x #r4today

Turley had a lot of good things to say but she talks so fast that her message is lost... #r4today

Surely we should be adding such issues into our equality laws & not 'scrapping' them? #r4today

Tell me, given the reported extent of "cuckooing," - are vulnerable people who are being exploited by it being effectively monitored & safeguarded by social services & similar groups? #r4today

Badenoch using the same the 'white working class' are 'disadvantaged' fact that Trevor Philips highlighted in his "Things We Won't Say About Race That Are True" program. Is this is a solid basis to scrap the legal equality duty for public services? #r4today

A.I. will generate more wealth for the already wealthy. #r4today

Trump has just admitted that he’s lost whatever “control” over BN he thought he had, and that their respective states’ goals don’t align at all. Meanwhile, the BBC simply reports his words verbatim without insight or evidence. #r4today

It’s upsetting that this is happening at all. I hope those affected receive the care they clearly need and deserve, and that every effort is made to put a stop to similar horrific crimes. #r4today
