Sarah Pochin raised "concerns" in parliament about the impact of second homes on rural communities. Two days later she purchased an £800,000 second home on Anglesey. Remarkable stuff. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

I think we have to understand statements like this as explicit backing for criminal activity in support of political aims which Reform approves of, and that such criminal activity will be tolerated, maybe even encouraged, under a Reform government

England is a made up thing. It has no basis in the ineluctable laws of nature. Its extent is defined by Edward II getting his arse handed to him. Athelstan conquering York. The Welsh of Cumbria were incorporated, the Welsh of Gwynedd were not. It is a political idea, an aspiration - not taxonomy.

Use of AI to plan violent criminal activities will soon be commonplace. Here's another example: British Columbia sued OpenAI, saying a mass shooting at a school in BC could have been prevented if the company had warned local law ‌enforcement that the shooter had used ChatGPT to plan the massacre.

The most fundamental question in politics is: whose support do you need to win and hold power? Is it warlords, aristocrats, empires or "the demos"? If the answer is "billionaires", you are not a democracy but a plutocracy. That's why democracies *must* erect barricades against capture by the rich

"Many people from other countries have been caring for my Dad. I want those carers to know we appreciate you. We appreciate what you are doing to support people here" - Andy Burnham. Prime Minister www.gov.uk/government/s...
You know when someone in your family is receiving care, you look at everything through new eyes, don’t you?

You notice things that maybe you didn’t notice before because you watch it so closely and so carefully.

And I’ve just been really overwhelmed by their care, their skill in what they do, their professionalism.

It really is incredible, and it’s humbling to watch them caring for someone else’s dad or someone else’s mum.

If you think about that, you know, bringing all of that to the care of someone else’s relative, it’s just an incredible thing, isn’t it?

To me, they should be the best paid people in society, not the worst.

And I just start with that feeling.

And I am talking because many people from other countries have been caring for my dad.

I want those carers to know we appreciate you.

We appreciate what you are doing to support people here.

And it really matters that I say that as well.

When billionaires and their stooges say that their priorities are "anti-woke", "anti-cancel culture" and "unrestricted free speech", don't take their claims at face value. They're a coded way of saying, “I should be allowed to do whatever I want, regardless of the impacts on other people.”
