How did the "quiet neighbour" turn into "Exterminator" on FB and a bomb maker? Radicalised, wound up to past the point of insanity, by the likes of Pochin and her fellow travellers.

the story about the ULEZ bomber, a white bloke in his 60s, still isn’t on the front page of the BBC News when it feels like quite a big story about online radicalisation & violence

We rightly give Home Office ministers a hard time here for many things, but in their defence, not one of them has ever ordered the Identity & Passport Service to mail out passports in envelopes that might as well be printed with the words ‘Important identity document enclosed: please steal’.

“Does he agree that the triple lock is simply not affordable?” - Tom Tugendhat, shadow foreign secretary, in the commons last year. H/T Tali Fraser on X The extent to which Burnham’s triple lock position will unsettle the Conservatives is underappreciated 1/...

Tom Tugendhat
I am interested to hear the hon. Gentleman using the figure of £70 billion, and I agree with him. He knows that £30 billion of that results from the rise in the triple lock, so does he agree that the triple lock is simply not affordable?

so just so my math is straight: if you get accused of going to a sports game you did not go to because the accuser is a massive fucking idiot, you can be called a dirtbag. But if you worship a child rapist and eventually commit a terror attack on 1/6/21, being called "deplorable" is over the line

Tweed is such a beautiful fabric to wear this time of year because it produces, in Dolly Parton's phrasing, a coat of many colors. Even a solid-colored brown is not just brown, but bits of red, blue, and yellow to produce something that looks lifted off the Scottish landscape.

There are two photos taped together. The top shows a brown stone building with a brown thatched roof. It's surrounded by green grass, stone walkways, and blue-gray sea. Below is a checked brown tweed that reflects the colors in the landscape above it.

There are two photos taped together. The one at te top shows a rocky hillside with green and straw-colored grass, gray rocks, and a tan sandy beach below. The blue waters are crashing at the shore. Below is a green herringbone tweed that reflects the colors in the landscape above it.

There are two photos taped together. The top shows a field of green and straw colored fields with bits of purple flowers. Below is a a series of checked brown tweed that reflect the colors in the landscape above it.

Peter Kellner has run YouGov's MRP against its tactical voting data and gets Reform down to 11 seats. I did the same exercise last week and was more cautious: I reckoned around 40. Either way, Labour and the Lib Dems are comfortably past a majority. politicalsandbox.substack.com/p/2029-is-li...

Sorry Nigel, but the polls show you’ve had it

The numbers now show Reform are on the slide and the party is going to get stuffed by tactical voting

Those who think AI is going to largely automate white collar jobs in the next couple of years don’t understand the nature of work - @sarahoconnorft.ft.com nails it www.ft.com/content/4aad...

It is not obvious that AI agents could eliminate the need for this type of work, since it involves persuasion, contestation and the exchange of tacit knowledge and experience that is spread across different departments, and often exists inside people's heads rather than in a neatly codified handbook on the intranet.
