AI companies agree to police themselves. Because that always works. Another great ‘deal’ by the stable genius 🙄

Triple kick gets cancelled just before I retire. I am not wealthy so guess I will not be retiring. I do wish the media would drop this whole ‘all old people are rich’ narrative.

How is this news? billionaire oil person says uk needs to drill more and tax less, though, of course, he‘s actually in Monaco. And he would do more in the uk if the state subsidised him more. Dear BBC, that‘s like me saying the uk‘s problem is underpaid law profs. www.bbc.com/news/article...

When Nigel Farage said Durham would show the country how a Reform government would look. He was right. An absolute shambles.

Reform UK's record-breaking donor was accused of running “in effect a money laundering platform”. Prosecutors accused Delo of being the “leader of a criminal enterprise” who knew that his Bitmex platform had become a “magnet for money laundering and criminal activity”.

Ridiculous sums of money don’t level the playing field - they distort it. It’s increasingly urgent that we get to grips with Political funding in Britain - our democracy is for sale to the highest bidder.

I wonder if the motivation of the billionaire class in supporting Reform, who would certainly destroy the uk, is to bring about a soviet style collapse in the West so they can asset strip like the Russian oligarchs? Trying to understand what they’re buying with this support.

Looking out at Lough Neagh feeling a mixture of sadness and anger because it is dying apparently due to a combination of climate change, invasive species (zebra mussels stripping the vegetation) and agricultural practices. We did this. Heartbreaking.

The British media is going to lose its mind over their favourite hate-figures returning to the U.K. isn’t it? I’m not that bothered about the royals but I am genuinely worried about them. I really dislike pile-ons.

Everyone complaining about early prisoner release must say how much more tax they’re willing to pay to provide more places. Because there’s a reason we have arrived at this crisis.

I can’t escape the feeling that Streeting and Milliband are in the ‘wrong’ jobs. Nandy should be out as ineffective in culture. Just feel a bit meh about cabinet but will be delighted to be proved wrong as I really wish them well.

I think we can be very proud of this England team, semi final is a good achievement and they seem decent people, Harry Kane is a great role model. Yes it would have been good to get to the final but we can still be proud and for a brief period claim our flag back from the nationalists 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Good. Threats like this degrade political culture, whoever the target is. Equally, the many Farage supporters who treat Lucy Connolly as a free speech martyr should be consistent. Threatening or inciting violence on social media is not just 'hurty words'. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... 1/2

The hypocrisy of Farage- when the police arrested people for tweets inciting violence towards migrants he defended them as ‘free speech’. When tweets inciting violence against him, it’s why didn’t the police act sooner #twotierfarage

What’s interesting about the RW reaction to equality is that they perceive equality with others to be a loss for them (two tier etc), which kind of proves they believe they should be superior, not equal, and treated as such.
