Using the word ‘rape’ in this context would be questionable by anyone, by an actual rapist…. Nope, I’m out of words. #r4today

Are you listening to #r4today ? Sounds like Nick Robinson doesn't either
Any interview on #r4today that involves anything as complex as numbers, should be run by the More or Less team.

It’s Groundhog Day on immigration again.
Whatchu reckon?
Labour gonna have done enough this time to stop people who hear nothing but scare stories about immigration voting for Reform? 
No one believes Labour can win this fight. As always the foreigners pay the price #r4today

They’re following the same failed logic as the Tories, burying their head in the sand
We can make it disappear by making migrants’ lives as hard as humanly possible.
The evidence is in after 13 years of the Hostile Environment: er, nope. Looks like people still move

They’re expanding the criminalisation of work for migrants. Will this stop migrants from working? OBVIOUSLY NOT. What it will do is fuel situations like this, where an Iranian asylum seeker died because of dangerous working conditions because he had no right to demand a safe workplace #r4today

The major announcement the Labour govt is making on immigration this week?
A further expansion of Theresa May’s Hostile Environment.
You know the one with the Go Home vans & the Windrush Scandal?
Oh yeah, that policy is *still* going strong. Still achieving nothing. #r4today

Another summit on irregular migration 
Another chance for international cooperation to create safe, regulated means of travel for people seeking safety & opportunity that our leaders won’t take.
Another pantomime of promises: no THIS money on border enforcement will finally work #r4today

Farage given a platform on #r4today as usual. That’s my Friday vibe fucked.

UK defence secretary on #r4today too cowardly to admit rise in defence spending is due to Trump's bullying.
3 minutes of #r4today before the first "give us a sense of" forced me to the off switch.
Morning, all,
Dear #BBC, President Donald Trump is not "interested in lasting peace" in Ukraine (or anywhere else in Europe threatened by Putin).
#Krasnov is only interested in a "peace" that lasts just long enough for him to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
It'd look so good on his trophy shelf next to the three championship cups awarded him by his own golf resort in Palm Beach, FL.

I hope someone makes a film about Butch and Sunny... The sequel we never knew we needed

It is not disabled & mentally ill people who have amassed ever-growing fortunes over the last decade, it is the richest whose wealth has ballooned. We must redistribute wealth - our communities will not see the investment we desperately need off the backs of the poor. #r4today

Listening to this pathetic excuse for a Labour MP trying to defend these ideological cuts is literally INDISTINGUISHABLE from the Osbourne era Tories’ arguments. It was a disaster then & it’s a disaster & a betrayal now. A total lie that it reflects the manifesto they were elected on. #r4today

It’s not just that it’s morally indefensible for Labour to cut more disability support than Tories ever dreamed of. It’s that we have been living in the fallout from the last round of austerity & they have learnt absolutely NOTHING. Making the poor poorer COSTS US MORE #r4today

I’m with Herbie Hancock. I say thank you to the self service checkouts when they give me a receipt. Some things are hardwired. #r4today

"We are not going to come forward with a wealth tax" Labour spelling it out for anyone who had any doubt. Squarely in the corner of the richest. Refusing to tax assets & property anywhere near as high as they tax people in work. The poor will have to pay again. #r4today

True Peace 
Good to hear Martin Luther Kings version of Peace (being about justice re Jesus ref John's gospel) being quoted this morning. Justin Web referred to the message too leading into a Ukraine discussion
