Okay, so Reform is now actively advocating for the armed forces to murder unarmed civilians as official policy. At what point does the media at large stop treating these people as anything but fascistic far right thugs who under any normal functioning system would be condemned as extremists.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
Screenshot of a Tweet from Pope Leo XIV. It reads: 

"In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgen to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity."

Fun fact: "Leave" still wins in polls as soon as any of the obvious requirements of joining the EU (I.e. full Schengen, Euro, etc) are included and this has been consistent for years. yougov.com/en-gb/articl...

Well, I for one am an economist who supports rent controls! Here’s why 🧵: Markets only work well if: -buyers & sellers have roughly equal power -producers respond to price signals & expand supply in response to scarcity -buyers can walk away if prices get too high

I think the worst part of Labour's response to the fascist mobilisation is Andy Burnham's absence. He's the most popular politician in the country, with social media reach and actual powers of persuasion, and he's saying nothing in public. He can actually be of use here but he's choosing not to

I think it's key to understanding their worldview that they imagine a world not *without* immigrants, but one in which immigrants' inferiority is permanently asserted and they become a subservient caste. All these people worship the Gulf States.

The term “witch hunt” is overused in politics. Perhaps not now. Quite a bit of the British media should ask themselves serious questions as to whether the coverage they gave to this man was remotely proportionate. Likewise there are Qs for Cambridge- and whether they discharged their duty of care.

Every Starmer speech is incredibly fascinating because he appears to live in a completely parallel reality to basically everyone else in the country. He never seems to ask the question "if I've done such a good job, why has my party drafted a mayor to drag me out of office?"

Doctorow lays out clearly the way that the AI fantasy, and the premise that AIs are sentient and deserve rights, are desires for a return of slavery in two ways: using precarity to reduce skilled workers to near-slaves, and by marketing AI to bosses hungry to buy slaves.

All MPs' outside earnings by party: The Conservatives come out top at 66% of total earnings from second jobs, while Reform (with just eight MPs) account for 20%, and Labour (with 400+) just 7%. But taking into account their size, Reform has by far the highest outside earnings per MP of any party.
Table:

Party	MPs	Seat share	Earnings share	Index relative to party size (earnings ÷ seats)	Approx. avg. per MP
Reform UK	8	1.2%	20%	16×	£275,000
Conservative	117	18%	66%	3.7×	£62,000
Labour	403	62%	7%	0.1×	£1,900

it goes without saying that it's racist to refer to immigrants as "invaders" who must be met with lethal force, but the 'traitors then invaders' framing here isn't just xenophobia - it's a recurring theme in some of the most violent neonazi propaganda of the late 20th century.
