IPPR: The UK is losing out on annual exports to the EU that could be worth as much as £6.5bn without a deal with Brussels that allows manufacturers to remove duplicate product testing. Brexit damaged our economy. Our polling shows that people want to rejoin the EU. The time to act is now.

Very nice to hear a sane voice from Piddington. Serious respect to this woman, who is apparently already being othered by more bigoted villagers.

Just look at the glee on Nigel Farage’s face as he watches a Piddington resident cry about the overt racism she, her Caribbean heritage husband, and their two children have felt in the village during the referendum. Time and again he’s showing us exactly who he is.

Hi @westmidlandspolice.bsky.social, A physical assault was committed yesterday at the NEC Birmingham at the Reform party conference. Perhaps someone in your force should find this perpetrator?

As it is Skynet Day, it seems as good a time as any to share that data center based LLM Ai is caught in a death spiral which is going largely unreported in the media. In short, major insurers are creating carve outs for Ai, refusing to insure it, causing corporations to abandon its front facing use.

White privilege. The concept is simple. It doesn't mean that white people have easy lives. It means that the barriers present for non-white people are not applicable for us. It means that after every negative interaction we aren't left wondering if it's due to the color of our skin.
