Jack Smith: "History teaches that the rule of law is rarely destroyed all at once. It's often weakened by attacks on the institutions and the public servants sworn to uphold it. Since January 2025, we have witnessed precisely such an effort."

Well, well, well - if it isn’t the consequences of our own actions. It would appear that migrants are not, in fact, the fiscal drain we’ve been told they are by years if we go by the £4bn to £6.5bn shortfall that’s been caused by the precipitous drop in numbers under this government. Funny that.

For all that it's been barely reported in the UK press, it's still hard to understate the importance of the stance @labourunionsuk.bsky.social has taken on trans and non-binary rights this week. Every single trade union affiliated to the party of government has stood up and said we will not comply.

Joint statement from National TULO

Solidarity with the trans and non-binary community

Labour's 11 affiliated trade unions stand in total solidarity with the trans and non-binary community.

Trans rights are human rights, and trans rights are workers' rights.

We in the trade union movement will do all we can to stand up for our trans members and all our trans siblings, to protect them from persecution, harassment and attack.

The government must act now to protect all trans people, to make sure their rights are protected, expanded and upheld in our workplaces and communities.

Labour Unions

consent is impossible when you mix career networking and sex together in a social space. the inherent power differentials extant in such an environment muddies the waters of consent to the point of complete opacity. how do you say "no" to someone who has the power to make or break your career?

Once again, I gotta say: you cannot treat anything you’re feeding into an AI as anonymous. There are enormous ethics implications for, e.g. referees who are clearly uploading others’ unpublished papers without consent, let alone health care professionals or law enforcement

Anything you put into any hosted AI "service" is effectively donated to the AI company to use or sell as they choose. You can call that theft, and it is, but essentially you gave it away to the plagiarism and sex pest industry. It's theirs now.

I've been thinking about this for a while. The right relies on boomers. It is not good at bringing young people in, apart from a few neo-Nazis. Also it advocates poor health. Anti-vax, raw milk and diarrhea salads are not going to keep their voters voting much longer.
