BBC re-running their headlines from 3 years ago when Sunak released 10,000 prisoners early over 6 months....oh wait, no, that went off without a media fuss. Labour are releasing up to 5,000 early over a year - due to Tory failure to build prison capacity. They only built 36 net new places a year.

I've been a member of the lobby for well over a decade. Not a single one of my lobby colleagues has said a word about the Conservatives banning me from their conferences, without any explanation. Contrast with the US where even Fox News stood in solidarity when Trump banned news outlets he disliked

There is literally no point in the Tories under Badenoch. I’ve always thought of them as a cancer on our body politic, but now they’re just useless and pointless.

Unemployment among young people is a big issue! Morally as well as economically. But you solve that by tackling mental health and looking at why the jobs aren't there for this cohort, not by treating adults like overgrown kids and going "yeah, you're your parents responsibility, kthxbai"

"You've worked hard all your life accruing all that wealth via soaring house prices and nice defined-benefit pensions, and we think it's wrong for the state to touch it via inheritance tax. But it's totally fine for the government to deny your 24-year-old kid support based off of it"

Also loving all the contortions of when someone is independent - the Conservatives think an 18-year-old is enough of an adult to sign up to a lifetime of student debt they weren't properly informed about, but not for the state to assess them for benefits on their own terms. Totally makes sense

"The party has also said it would look closer at whether parents' earnings and savings should be factored into welfare payments for their children" So according to the Tories, it's wrong to means-test benefits for boomers... but totally fine to do so for their adult children children.

I'm so very sad to hear of the death of Esther Ranzen who played an important role in reuniting me with Nicky Winton - the man who saved my life. It's so desperately sad that she couldn't choose assisted dying as was her wish.

It’s a mark of the corruption of our whole way of thinking about the world that trying to meet a planetary emergency is routinely described as “ideological”, while continuing to accelerate it is presented as “pragmatic” and “economic”.

I'm as keen as anyone to get rid of First Past the Post, but the idea that we can just snap our fingers and change the electoral system is the PR equivalent of those Brexiteers who thought we could leave the EU on 24 June 2016. This has to be done right, and that takes a bit of time.

Manchester City cheated Premier League rules, the Commission found. Did it also cheat HMRC? We've examined the decision and leaked Mancini documents. We think City likely failed to pay £12m in tax. There should be a criminal investigation. Thread:

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”
