This should be the moment people finally realise that Farage has turned them into fascists. If you’re choosing this dangerous inhumanity over the rescue work of the RNLI, you’ve lost your minds to racism and hatred.

If you feel like donating to the RNLI, here’s a link. I just have. Their minimum donation is £2: I think it might be nice for them to receive a lot of donations this week, even if they’re mostly very modest. Just so they know a lot of people out here appreciate their work. rnli.org/support-us/g...

Picking on the RNLI and thinking you are the good guys is such a great example of what is presumably an irreversible brain rot, like if you opened up the bonnet on those heads it would be like when a peach has gone too mushy to be saved

I was having a conversation about using AI at work with a colleague, and she made the very smart observation that using AI doesn't reduce work - it creates different work, going over it, making sure it makes sense, etc, and all too often that work gets pushed along the chain to the next person.

“As Aydin jumps a scooter over ramps set up in the middle of the road, children around him are drawing with chalk, blowing bubbles and kicking a football in a spot where cars are usually driving through.” Good job Leeds. More children should have the chance to play in their neighbourhood like this.

Reform have now lost six by-elections in a row in England, Scotland and Wales. Their national poll rating is 26% – below Labour in 1983 – and Farage’s approval rating is -37. They’re very far from the voice of the people and need to stop being treated as such.

73% of people with learning disabilities, 86% of those who had an amputation, and 62% of claimants with cerebral palsy were given fixed-term awards last year – meaning they are required to undergo reassessments every two to three years. Funnily enough, those conditions don’t often change.

Next time you read a headline about the cost of the benefits bill - or how we must “cut welfare to pay for warfare” - perhaps share the above. The DWP is wasting millions forcing people through pointless reassessments and it’s only the private sector who are getting the benefit (no pun intended).
