Ian @ianpadg.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I asked AI Copilopt questions re energy market .The link below is the entire chat. Initial response from copilot was very biased towards maintainig the status quo. It defended the market structure. I challenged it.

Reposted by IanPeter Smith @redpeter99.bsky.social · 30/09/2026All this low hanging fruit that the Tories plan to use to save £50bn begs the question, why did they allow all this pointless spending to arise in their 14 years in office? 1121441

Ian @ianpadg.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The doom and gloom of the last 16 years, driven by #bbcnews, is probably, in part, responsible for the mental health epidemic. The country needs a good dose of realistic hope and optimism. #politicslive 000
Ian @ianpadg.bsky.social · 29/09/2026This morning, a BBC journalist, reporting from the Labour party conference, described the triple lock as "generous"! Who the hell does he think he is to sway public opinion in that way. UK pensions are the lowest in Europe. Is that generous? #bbcbreakfast 120

Ian @ianpadg.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Chris Philip has forgotten that it was his Conservative government that raised taxes to their highest level ever. They are definitely not a low tax party. Perhaps tax evading is more their thing. #bbclaurak 151
