AI chatbots are Dunning-Kruger machines. They make people who should be uncertain think they are actually really smart.

I’m sure we will see wall to wall sympathetic coverage of the Greens in the British press now and endless platforming of Polanski on BBC shows like Question Time now they’re breathing down the neck of Reform …

Don't worry, Keir. I wouldn't take serious anyone who dips their face in their Heinz tomato soup to eat it.

The fact that Isabel Oakeshott, economic migrant to the UAE may just turn into a refugee fleeing to the UK from a war zone will cause a level of schadenfreude in me that may just make me topple right over.

Important to remember that the people most enthusiastic about bombing Iran are almost always the people most hateful towards refugees.

Measles is back in California. Health departments are fighting it with less. California is battling measles outbreaks across seven counties as federal funding cuts gut local health departments and vaccine skepticism fuels spread among unvaccinated children.

Reform win a seat: The true Volk have spoken and we all must listen.

Greens win a seat: Early reports that Muslims may have β€˜voted’ (an ancient Islamic practice designed to steal elections). How severely should the franchise be limited in response?

a contender for my favorite behind-the-scenes photo: The Hunt for Red October crew built their submarine set(s) on top of a hydraulic gimbal, 45 ft above the stage floor, capable of tilting 45 degrees to mimic a sub's movements - Sean Connery said it made him seasick. even the gauges inside worked.

He just says he doesn’t know anything about it and says ask the Department of War.

And then wants to talk about what civilian structures Iran is hitting.

Complete disinterest.

Nigel Farage has said he would SUSPEND THE CONVENTION AGAINST TORTURE IN ORDER TO CUT A DEAL TO PAY THE IRANIAN REGIME TO RECEIVE DEPORTED REFUGEES TO THEIR PERSECUTION.

That is the Reform policy his β€œshadow Home Secretary” announced the other day.

This is going to be hard for some people to accept, but I think the US government is lying to us about the state of negotiations between itself and Iran.

Lots of Americans voted Trump because they wanted cheaper gas in their cars.

Not sure this is all about to play out in their favour...

Starmer criticises Trump over Iran strikes, as he defends UK position The PM told MPs that Trump had expressed his disagreement with the decision not to get involved in the initial strikes.

How can he be so good at this stuff & so bad at so much else?

Starmer - in fluent legalise sets out position.

1: UK must only ever act on lawful basis and with a viable and thought through plan and by implication US-Israel attack is noa.

2: Permitted use of UK bases but only to protect lives.

3: Suggests Badenoch would have joined illegal US attack on Iran.

It’s highly & horribly likely that the Leader of the Opposition doesn’t or can’t understand this.

Nigel Farage's Long History of Crying β€˜Fraud’ Whenever His Party Loses Elections The Reform UK leader has a long record of blaming his own party's election defeats on "cheating" by ethnic minorities, yet no evidence of it can ever be found

Every time Nigel Farage's parties have lost an election he has blamed it on "cheating" by ethnic minorities and every time he receives huge amounts of media attention for doing so.

The only problem? No evidence of cheating is ever found
