I’m old enough to remember when a comment like this would have been a resigning matter…

Totally agree. I dread to think of the insidious uses of our personal data this could lead to. The risks to all of us are too great.

Very odd watching BBC News talking about the Lib Dem conference and mentioning how the party has struggled to break through in the media like it's nothing to do with them.

Shows the danger of AI in the hands of those that think the truth is something to be manipulated.

Utterly reprehensible and the consequences of this madness being followed and believed could be devastating.

Really short sighted and a wasted opportunity for this not to have been built in it’s entirety.

Why are white South Africans going to the US as refugees? - The Times and The Sunday Times

The irony of the woman here referencing the „arrogance of the blacks“ whilst talking about South Africa‘s historical sanctions without acknowledging why they were in place (Apartheid) is really something

Extremely accurate…

Zombie politics: how Dead Man dominates British politics - The Economist

Opinion: Trump’s tariffs are a disaster... and the Democrats are to blame - The Telegraph

Parody by the Telegraph.
Any blame apportioned to a president who has demonstrated nonsensical logic that will likely have long lasting ramifications for global economic growth? Of course not…

Screenshot of Times article with headline: "Florida may loosen child labour laws to fill gap left by migrants" The article explains a law has been proposed in Florida to allow children as young as 14 to work overnight shifts in agriculture & constraction to make up for lost migrant labour. Yes really.

You truly could not make it up.

You could not.

This is madness

Official UK foreign office tweet The @Telegraph front page today is wrong and mendacious. ❌ There will be no such delegation of Caribbean leaders or officials in Spring. ❌ We do not pay reparations. We made this clear to the Telegraph, which has decided to ignore the facts.

Tele front page today via the BBC "Labour to open talks on slavery payouts" BBC summary: Lammy is also mentioned on the front page of the Daily Telegraph, as the paper writes that his department is open to talks on slavery payouts. The paper adds that the Foreign Office is understood to be meeting with members of a Caribbean reparation team which has long demanded compensation. Sources told the paper that Caribbean officials and political leaders will "restate demands that Britain pay for its role in the slave trade."

Blimey. A rare slapdown of a newspaper story from the FCDO today (They really should get on Bluesky btw)

Also it wasn’t the Guardian, it was a victim’s father! www.theguardian.com/politics/201...

Nothing like a bit of disingenuity from the Telegraph…

Not in the least bit surprising…
