Cases included a 3 year old child. It's nearly like 17th century England where an 8 or 9 year old boy was tried and hanged in 1629.

Suella Braverman was the first MP to be sworn in on a copy of the Dhammapada! That's hardly paying lip service to the supremacy of Anglicanism in the UK, is it.

Carly responded to a Bluesky post two years ago when I was in a panic and needed someone to do some really basic photoshop. Instead she came up with illustrations that shaped how the publication looked. Do send her more work if you need actual talented human illustration.

Swiss private equity firm and UK investor buy 1,570-bed student accommodation. Another sector taken over by PE, loaded with debt, high rents, profiteering. Rents outstrip govt maintenance loans. No UK tax charged on dividends paid to foreign investors.

I've no idea why the Telegraph thinks the mine is being opened by Labour and not the companies that have worked hard over several years to develop it to this point, but this is very positive news for Cornwall and the UK.

The police have asked everyone to please not speculate about the RAF Fairford incident, so naturally I'm going to waste no time in making up total bollocks to suit my own agenda.

I can't imagine any Cabinet minister under Starmer saying this. The Burnham govt still has more to do on responding to the far right and promoting anti racist norms. But this is good. Now need to hear more Cabinet ministers speaking out.

If it was discovered that I ran a company that used a team of photoshoppers working remotely from North Korea to generate on-demand sexualized images of women without their consent, including minors, which I then posted live on Twitter, I do not think the response from authorities would be silence.

*extremely tired voice*AI agents don't "go rogue". They are not sentient; they don't have agency. They work within guardrails set by humans. If the humans are so shit at building secure sandboxes for the agents to work within, that's on the humans. Stop using this framing.

I know people who are regular stewards at football games. They definitely do not want to be dealing with half cut or full on drunk spectators. Andy Burnham should have thought a bit longer about the history, the issues, and the arrest stats at football matches before opining.

To be more precise, DOJ tried a feeble answer that withered away. DOJ said the standard is in a statute not to publish classified info. But that's not the penalty for the statute, no nexus to WH passes, media publish classified info all the time with no allegation of violating the statute ...

One of the basic things some on the left don't understand about the far right is that the only way to return it to the political margins is a cordon sanitaire that (among other things) has consensus buy in from conservative elites. The Left Wins Forever is not on offer

It seems like the police are assuming the far-right losers are 'looking for an excuse' to do more damage and so must be given maximum space. In fact, they are turning a big dial that says 'thuggery' on it and constantly looking over at the state for the slightest sign of consequences.
