Andy Burnham is coming for your pension! By... er... increasing it by slightly less. Whereas Reform will scrap it completely.

Burnham speech: An astonishing moment of radicalism and commitment
It’s easy to be cynical, but it would be false. Something extraordinary is happening here.

This is about attempting to establish a support base (there'll never be a consensus) on a way forward, which you would take into negotiations. No great light is provided by reminding people there will be negotiations.

No. Official sources do not show that a president can rename the term "artificial intelligence" itself.

CHARLIE KIRK SHOW: Dang! So you had texts from Smith's team confirming he was going to a Hawks game, and he acted dumbfounded? ERIC SCHMITT: It was the only NBA game going on in Atlanta. He claimed later he was at another game. My job is to ask the questions (All of Schmitt's "facts" were wrong!)

1. Eric Schmitt booked this show as a victory lap for his "gotcha" moment revealing "proof" that Jack Smith was at an Atlanta Hawks game. 2. That "proof" blew up in Schmitt's face. 3. Instead of cancelling this appearance, he dishonestly colludes with the hosts to pretend he did have that proof.
