The main value proposition of AI is that it will let you generate wealth without labour. Because labour generates the wealth. Stolen labour is how wealth is accumulated. It’s really fucking simple, but you need people to believe that it isn’t, or they might get justifiably very angry.

Smart move. If anything, too many Labour councillors were re-elected last month.

It's also the present under Labour. I want to make it really clear: These photos aren't just a threat of a future under the far right. They are the present under a centre-right Labour government. Right now.

Public: We want to undo Brexit and we want more NHS funding. Labour: How about making life miserable for trans people and attacking immigrants? Public: But my brother needs mental health care-- Labour: Okay, we'll also ban kids from Instagram.

Honestly, the boring answer is usually the right one: this probably ends in some kind of negotiated deal neither side admits is a compromise.

In the discussions about unblocking the Strait of Hormuz, an interesting tidbit has emerged: Zelenskyy said Ukraine has not been asked to help unblock Hormuz despite Ukrainian successes protecting the Black Sea Food Security Corridor against Russian attacks. Offer's there 🤷‍♀️

Every single President since the 1980’s would have been told by knowledgeable generals to avoid a war with Iran at all costs. That Iran had been preparing for asymmetric warfare for decades. That starting a war with Iran would be too costly economically and militarily.

Not surprising Farage hasn't bothered to announce a health spokesperson - his entire team is populated by politicians who broke the NHS. They've also forgotten about a foreign affairs spokesperson, but I guess they will take their orders straight from Trump's White House anyway.
