To get a bit meta, Twitter is probably kidding Starmer &co into thinking that aggressive exaggerated divisiveness is how we all think. And perhaps affected how he thinks. So he has projected that mindset onto Thursday's Green voters, without bothering to investigate what did draw them to that choice

It's very sad to see. And there's clearly a good number of Labour MPs who have had more than enough of this and are saying as much..Did you hear Karl Turner on the radio today - he wasn't holding back

"Labour seems to have been pining for the demographic that voted for it in the 1970s – older, manual workers in small towns."

So, Maurice Glasman's mum, basically.

Aye. I don't know why I was, once again, disappointed in Labour, but for some reason I still expect better 😞

Drop in overseas workers is ‘car crash’ for UK hospitals and care homes, say experts Care roles hit particularly hard by UK’s lurch to the right on migration, according to analysis of Home Office data

Presumably the door is now wide open for Reform to nip round the back of Labour and say "...but not nurses and care workers of course. We'll be welcoming them in."

Fake Daily Telegraph headline reading as follows: Allister Heath Make no mistake, food labelling is a direct attack on the British family

lol

Mmmm .. how lovely!

These are so gorgeous (as was your weather by the looks of it!)

Ahahaha what do they think happened to all those horses that used to pull carriages? Did they all go to live on a farm upstate? 😂

Boo! and Sharp's make an excellent low alc version of Doom Bar as well.

I won't be transferring my custom to Black Label, you can be sure.

Increased staffing levels 'show promise' in improving patient care, said no research that anyone wanted to fund

Millionaire's illegal 'mancave' with bowling alley and cinema finally torn down Graham has been to jail before over the mancave.

I love it when they do just dig their heels in though - this one (xinema in the back garden iirc) ran for years and years, but they got him in the end! metro.co.uk/2024/06/04/m...

Am now getting dewy-eyed remembering just loading my bike onto the guards van and securing it with a bungee.....

Watermelon..Just a sweet cucumber basically. 🥒🥒(Though special mention to the random raspberries that have been got by a stink bug, and for some reason, taste of stink bug as a result)

Waiting for the cream egg hot cross bun. Crucifixion and rebirth combined in one delicious snack 😋 😋 😋

You know, that might just work 😅

I just did the dumbest thing of my entire career to prove a much more serious point.

I tricked ChatGPT and Google, and made them tell other users I’m a competitive hot-dog-eating world champion

People are using this trick on a massive scale to make AI tell you lies. I’ll explain how I did it

Hooray for that! ❤️❤️

Great opportunity for the right person 👇

😄

I don't think its built yet (and thus the buyer might yet opt for less nightmarish decor) ...but even the *idea* of that tarmac sea is a crime.

Credit, credit, credit. Credit the posters, credit people's photos, credit creators if possible. In a world of AI slop, where uncreative people take creative people's work, make a stand & stop stealing their stuff.

(sorry you had that shitty experience though, what a bummer 😠)

Looks like an absolute bargain so I've ordered one :)

between the Department for International Trade's (DIT) then second most senior civil servant Antonia Romeo and Palantir's Louis Mosley, executive vice president and head of U.K. operations. During the meeting, Romeo told Mosley about NHSX — a new "joint organisation for digital, data and technology" that uses new technologies and data to deliver British health care — set up that month. The meeting is described in briefing notes prepared by DIT and was obtained by POLITICO through a freedom of information request. After their April 2019 meeting, Romeo connected Mosely with David Prior, chair of NHS England who later ensured that Matthew Gould, the CEO of NHSX, was looped into

By July 2, 2019, Prior was drinking watermelon cocktails with Mosley at a dinner the Palantir boss hosted on the eve of the launch of NHSX, according to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism. The same day, Palantir had been added as a supplier to the government's approved list of cloud technology contractors, a spokesperson for the U.K.'s government contract tendering body, the Crown Commercial Service (CCS), said. A series of engagements with Prior, Gould and DIT followed in the months after the dinner. Prior then visited Palantir's headquarters in San Francisco on January 14, 2020, where he saw a demonstration of the company's health care software Palantir Foundry. Mosley met Romeo again a week later on January 22 at Palantir's pavilion at the 2020

saw a demonstration of the company's health care software Palantir Foundry. Mosley met Romeo again a week later on January 22 at Palantir's pavilion at the 2020 annual World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Romeo's briefing notes said she should court him by promoting the U.K. as a leader in tech and "a great location for Palantir to expand their software business" and connect him with the technology director at the Crown Commercial Service. The company sees the U.K. as "a gateway to the rest of the world," according to briefing notes prepared for the meeting in Davos. Immediately after the January meeting, Romeo's private secretary emailed Mosely to introduce him to DIT health care officials, including DIT's Life Sciences leadership team and director for investment.

The Antonia Romeo who did more than most to saddle us with Palantir? That Antonia Romeo?

U gonna read anything by a woman this year?
