'Facial recognition tech mistook me for wanted man' Shaun Thompson is challenging the Met Police's use of live facial recognition technology.

Although Yvette Cooper isn't alone. Just look at the evolution of Keir Starmer's opinions on migrants from 2020 when he stood for the Labour leadership and now. I'm quote posting a thread.

Carnations in a glass, by my colleague Jacob van Hulsdonck of Antwerp. Today is his day.

Guess who the tax system is really supporting In this second article on wealth accumulation, we explain who our tax system really supports

The tax system gives the wealthiest 10% around £8,000 a year in reliefs.

That’s the same as the top rate of Universal Credit.
Except the wealthy don’t need to fill in endless forms, meet sanctions, or prove they’re “deserving.”

This is brilliant 😆 🤣 😂 😹

Politicians truly believe their stupid laws apply to everyone on the planet. The internet, which makes it easy for people to do business all over the world, has broken their fragile brains by frustrating their warped need to control everything within arbitrary map lines. That's why they hate it so.

Prison bosses make room for possible influx before planned protests across England Exclusive: Possible arrests at protests against Palestine Action ban and asylum hotels likely to stretch prisons

Keir Starmer's Government plans on arresting so many more grannies holding placards as "terrorists", it has to make space in the already overcrowded prisons.

Mimi Webb singing into a mic at the cricket.

I do find the juxtaposition of pop acts performing at the cricket really amusing still. Lovely moment at Lords as Mimi Webb giving it her all on stage and it cut to a shot with a middle aged lady just behind her in the background munching on a sandwich from her lunchbox 🏏

The idea that Islamphobia does not exist "as a concept" is a wholly idiotic statement. For GB News to broadcast what is in effect a call for a muslim Edict of Expulsion - without any pushback or context - would seem to break the rules. But @ofcom.bsky.social can only act if it receives complaints.

I think, like Enoch Powell in the 1970s, GBNEWS
has mistaken its own anti-immigrant sentiment - its own institutional racism, we could say - for majority opinion. Its presenters - some of whom have links with the far right - are working hard to make the two align, under the nose of Ofcom.

Going to have to force this down. Not a pork pie to be found.

The rich must be incentivised; the poor must be disciplined.

The political economy of the super-elite in one headline.
