iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

The really annoying thing is it only takes engaging seriously with the issue for a few moments for his arguments to unravel but so many people seem incapable of even trying to.

The correct version of the Brexit regulatory story is that the leave advocates thought only Brussels regulated and then discovered that not only wasn't true, but that business actually wanted things like data adequacy and alignment with their largest markets

I’ll repeat - I think this shows a huge lack of awareness of where the world currently is. We’re going to be spending a lot more on defence imminently anyway - best to get ahead of that and help protect uk interests.

If playing some games was classified as a digital version of a chose your own adventure book, there’d be a helluva lot of reading being done

An increase that is not enough. It’s too little and too late. I think people decrying the emphasis on defence spending are really poorly informed on the current geopolitical position.

It provides an off ramp for some people who would otherwise insist we must respect the outcome of the referendum. Brexit was awful, hence the Russians wanting it, rather than the other way round, but anything that helps chip away at various rationales for not revisiting is good

It’s all very volkisch in its use.

I’m increasingly of the view of it being when rather than if. Only slither of hope I see is that the US mid terms somehow stop Trump giving Putin so many signals that he doesn’t care if he attacks Europe.

Officials will have offer him options on different places to find the additional money. And there does need to be more money for defence.

Oh dear lord. When did we get promised skynet would relieve humanity of this?!???!

HMT officials, despite their own puffed up views of themselves, are often the worst at any kind of of systems/wider thinking.

I’ve no problem with the idea of something being good and potentially positive in elections. It’s the idea that politicians only ever think about elections that drives me mad (it may well be true for some - but some politicians also actually want to change things for the better)

It’s hilarious - I’ve a few right wing mates who can’t seem to understand a politician doing something because it’s right rather than just thinking about elections (they’re the same ones pushing that Burnham must have an early election as it’s his ‘best chance’ rather than trying to just be the pm)

It all depends on how well they can build barriers to entry for additional AI capacity and extract that surplus and keep it.

The people who say that their main concern is integration of refugees and migrants should be particularly happy today at her success in integrating. But I suspect they are very angry instead. It's almost as if the integration arguments are often made in bad faith.

Sagal Abdi-Wali came to the UK aged 7 having fled the war in Somalia with her family. She has thrived. Leader of Camden council and now the MP for Holborn and St Pancras. A narrative that runs counter to all we are told about refugees. Congratulations www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Labour fends off Green party to win Holborn and St Pancras byelection

Victory by Sagal Abdi-Wali in north London seat will be a relief for Andy Burnham in high-stakes battle for the left of British politics

Given the local context the greens haven’t really made any gains. Shouldn’t have stood Polanski, but having shot their shot - they missed

This prompted me to go back and check the claim that "On current DWP forecasts, from the 2024 election until 2030, Labour will have increased working-age benefit spending by a further £51.6 bn/year." It appears to be equally fictional/spreadsheet error. Correct figure is maybe £36bn..

I thought I had seen it all, but this is an astonishing new low, putting the US in the company of Iran, Afghanistan and N Korea. I abhor the death penalty. The idea that kids, including my own, might see such an execution shocks me to the core. Abhorrent, barbaric, sick, warped, cruel and twisted.

I think it’s going to be option b (nothing will)

It’s amazing what dogma and ideology can do to numbers.

I'm sorry if this is obvious but the Tory proposal to exempt family homes completely from IHT will lead to 1] pensioners buying the biggest houses they possibly can 2] pensioners refusing to downsize which can only be bad news for younger families trying to buy family homes
