Blimey. Starmer could never have concluded his speech like this. Nor could Blair, come to that. #burnham

Hmmm. Not sure an inflation-link alone will maintain pension value relative to pay The 2.5% underpin would be doing lot of heavy lifting over time. Isn’t Labour about increasing pay in real terms? Luckily for Andy, the commentariat has displayed a lack of understanding of such matters! #burnham

This is a good example of the low utility of this sort of poll to policy-makers. What would the results be after two years of explanation and discussion? Political leadership, in other words.

The Right are the ones who gave control away in the first place! Brilliant! Why has it taken so long for Labour to point this out!!!!!? #burnham

“A lot of the country think [the government] is already paying [for social care]” Hmm, wonder whose fault that might be! Perhaps an organisation established to *educate*, entertain and *inform*? #bbc #wato

How much do you think the state pension should be, Nick? There’s no point debating the indexing mechanism until you’ve answered that question. #r4today

The @theipaper.com seems to have disabled replies and quote retweets, so let me help by ensuring their stunning journalism gets an airing. They must have missed the release on Police bail of these ‘Iranian terrorists’!

Releasing the five people arrested by the airbase on bail after 24 hours is so weird, would be fantastic if it turns out they were just up to no good on an unrelated minor jape and accidentally created an international security story.

Just think how different this would look if the press release had said “Anthropic’s Pattern Recognition Engine [TM] helps speed up delivery of scientist’s discovery. This is how ‘AI’ will assist humanity.”

Essential reading. Absolutely on the nail. And a vital refresh re Watson’s former tech-scepticism. Was he a sleeper all along? Superb @carolecadwalla.bsky.social

It’d be good if Nick & Co could take some ownership of the social care issue. A big reason for the failure of all governments to deal with it is the fact that, for certain people, the first question that comes to mind is: “where’s the money going to come from?” #r4today

TBF, this could be a demonstration project for the debating point: “‘AI’ won’t kill us all in the obvious ways; it’ll kill us all in a way you never thought of”.

Just helping with editing here. These bots aren’t sentient. They’re doing what they’re programmed to do. OpenAI, a private company supposedly bound by laws, committed federal crimes.

The idea that people want AI oversight to happen "all of a sudden" ignores years of research, warnings, and policy efforts. The delay hasn’t been a lack of awareness; it’s been because of years of industry lobbying against regulation, political resistance, and inaction.

“There is a systemic issue with Labour’s governing style since 2024. It seems nervous about wielding power. The party has failed to recognise that the far-right will be infuriated regardless of its policies, so it may as well implement genuinely left-wing ones” open.substack.com/pub/writesbr...

An example of much City activity doing nothing for growth. Except the growth of the City’s stash. It’s hardly investing in innovation, is it?

Yes again, @carolecadwalla.bsky.social way ahead of everyone else. Today the DG, Matt Brittin, announced he would be happy for the BBC to make programmes and have them presented entirely by AI "within guardrails". See link below bsky.app/profile/caro...

You can't argue that your country has serious politics if Liz Truss is still being invited to give opinions. She's a conspiracy theorist, as mad as a box of frogs. She should be nowhere near public life, and yet....

Agree, all the agent makers are failing to consider what happens when everyone has agents. I've made a Claude routine that scans eBay for a certain class of item, builds an understanding of the market then looks for underpriced deals. Basic economics/game theory tells you that's not sustainable.
