Stephen Doughty in an embarrassing car crash on GMB re Russian interference. Sounded like every Tory minister of the last decade, even managing to contradict himself.

lol Farage refusing to attend the Clacton count is amazing. Being all "this whole thing is simply ridiculous" like he didn't resign and call a by-election a few weeks back. What a fanny.

It is essentially a punishment for loyalty. Price goes up if you have 1,000+ notes. The extra is, of course, for AI features that you can get elsewhere. And a semantic search, that seems to be worse than the original search. @evernote.bsky.social

Areas with traditionally low to no immigration seeing influx of overseas agricultural labour that then settled. Then more transient labour (Brexit/law changes). Large income gaps between rich and poor parts (eg north Norfolk coast/rural and inland/intensive farming areas). Also, hugely white.

The Modi government in India has attempted to ban a satirical political movement from social media on "national security" concerns. That is the equivalent of banning Count Binface. The "Cockroach Janta Party" is a satirical political party for India's disaffected youth.

What was meant to happen was the BBC would offer him 10 million dollars and an apology like lots of other companies he sued since he was re-elected. He didn’t think they would actually defend themselves so this is going hilariously wrong for him.
