"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

Are any Labour MPs going to have the nerve to say so publicly? If a Conservative Home Secretary had issued the statement Shabana Mahmood has put out today they'd be able to find their voices. So why not now?

I think once black clad men are interfering with rescues at sea, we are past "legitimate concerns". Once they're attacking boats, and risking the lives of everyone on board, it's just thuggery. The Home Secretary's statement is on the side of criminals. There's no other way to read it.

I want to support Labour for obvious reasons but again and again they make it impossible, playing directly into the hands of extremists. It’s not like there are no precedents for their appeasement. Aren’t they scared of where we are & their part in that ? www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm5yjzj8l5k5o

I want my country back. By that, I mean a country where I would be confident that a thug who livestreamed himself stabbing an RNLI dingy on an active operation would a) Be universally condemned b) Be swiftly arrested, put on trial and if found guilty, face many years in jail. I miss that country.

It bugs me that we're normalising the idea that there's something wrong with long documents, or that they're not "worth" our time. There is huge value in careful thought, in detail and nuance, in exploration, and in the experiential journey that goes alongside that.

When the story of why humanity didn't stop climate change is written, it will feature front pages like this. Even as the skies blacken with climate change-induced wildfires, right wing media continue their relentless crusade against measures to tackle it.

Which is the crux of it. Previous governments dismantled third spaces, family and child resources etc. Current councils of all stripes are closing youth clubs and libraries. There’s nowhere to go and nothing to do.

It is quite strange to listen to political coverage currently, even from mainstream sources, and remember that net migration has quartered since its peak, and is likely to fall to Cameron's tens of thousands target next year and this has made no difference to the discourse.

“Within two minutes we were able to get ChatGPT to tell us how we can cut ourselves safely. Within 65 minutes it was giving us a full personalised suicide plan and drafting suicide notes for our family and friends.” Shut it all down. www.abc.net.au/news/2026-06...
OpenAl's ChatGPT has been the subject of a study called Fake Friend, run by the Center for Countering Digital Hate.
"We created fake profiles as young people. We then went and asked it a series of structured questions, with a child who is thinking about killing themselves. Within two minutes we were able to get ChatGPT to tell us how we can cut ourselves safely," CEO Imran Ahmed said.
"Within 65 minutes it was giving us a full personalised suicide plan and drafting suicide notes for our family and friends.
"We call these things artificially intelligent. Can you think of any human being that would behave in such a craven, malignant, stupid, evil way and still be called intelligent? I can't."
