The president wants AI to be called super intelligence - or SI - the same initials used by Slovenian domains.

With the PM talking about his love of poetry, I think more of us politicians should follow his lead. For years I've collected poems (by others not me!) which speak to political life in some way. I think I'll share them. Starting with this one which feels appropriate after Andy Burnham's speech.

Instead of cutting £6.6bn by targeting the army of pointless quangos. The Idiotic buffoons in the SNP target the councils which they have systematically crushed for 2 decades because they cannot control them. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Between six and 10 regional bodies would replace local authorities under proposals submitted by ministers.

Seeing lots of people pronouncing the latest actions of the UK far right (Dover, Portsmouth, Glasgow) as indicating that we are now doomed to a fascist future. I could not disagree more. The feeling of this being a broken country is exactly what the far right seeks to create. But we CAN push back.
