They don't *need* AI to make these decisions. But they *want* AI to make these decisions. Because the tech gives them plausible deniability--something to blame (other than themselves) when things go wrong.

Of course the UK was informed. The US and UK are allies. Aren't they?

All bosh. Either we are in the conflict or we aren't and if we are we should be fighting back ourselves not expecting Americans to fight our war.

Agree with all of this except that Starmer absolutely would have supported this war a few years ago. He'd have supported it five minutes after posting that tweet.

Farage should be questioned in every press conference on the issue of party funding. He hates being questioned on this issue, he gets agitated and overly defensive. He won’t cope with the incessant forensic analysis of who funds Reform.

Can anything now bring together a nation that came together in the 1940s to fight Nazis and create a new NHS, stayed mostly together until deeply divided over service privatisation in the 1990s, war in Iraq in the 2000s, Brexit in the 2010s and religion in the 2020s?

Abolutely. Regulations mean a level playing-field and protect us from rip-off merchants and those who want to harm us.

Hundreds of children and civilians killed already in Trump's new war waged contrary to the US constitution and he calls himself 'righteous'. We know he also loves causing economic chaos but the timing? Clearly to hog headlines and divert attention from the Epstein papers and ICE.

New MRP analysis: In over 84% of seats the Conservatives lost in 2024, the bigger challenge is not Reform but winning back voters who have drifted left or disengaged - Prosper UK The study uses a megapoll of over 13,000 voters to find how many voters in each constituency have ever voted Conservative, and how they are voting now. •⁠  ⁠Disengagement is widespread – in 236 of 251...

More Conservative Party voters are 'drifting left' or ceasing to vote than are going over to Reform as their former party drifts to the right prosperuk.com/new-mrp-anal...

He likes British beer. A good old-fashioned pint. See, he and the Greens have something in common after all...Hannah could stand Nige a pint when she gets to Westminster.

A court case way back decided leaves are not litter and councils don't have to remove them under laws that require them to remove litter. Well-rotted leaves may count as 'detritus'. When councils are short of money they cut leaf-sweeping. www.gov.uk/government/p...

This War Will Destabilize The Entire Mideast Region And Set Off A Global Shockwave Of Anti-Americanism vs. No It Won’t George W. Bush may think that a war against Iraq is the solution to our problems, but the reality is, it will only serve to create far more.

#Reform used to have one policy but now has two. Immigration has been joined by filling potholes (a rather useless activity according to ALARM reports as they soon become potholes again). As for economics, they will rely on Truss's example.

At every election in Britain it is customary for losing candidates to clap the winner. Note how the losing Reform chap didn't clap Hannah's win in Gorton and Denton? Bad losers, bad form, Reform don't respect British culture.

UBI has been Green Party policy since the 1970s but it may now be too late. We allowed the ultra-wealthy to get wealthier and collar natural resources and they now have robot slaves. Where does that leave humans, without UBI in place? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The #Green plumber won decisively. Politics of #hope and ordinary working folk won the day in Gorton and Denton over politics of #hate and millionaires. Fantastic news 😁for Manchester.

#Labour encourages more kids by lifting the 2-child 🧒👶benefit cap. #Greens would apply a universal child benefit with no 2-child limit. #Reform objects and would re-impose a 2-child limit 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧. Why? Do they think children 🧒👶🧒should grow up in poverty or Britain needs fewer children 👨‍👨‍👧 or both?

Farage's explosion against the Bank of England governor at Question Time accusing him of earning too much by shoring up sterling was staged to win votes in Gorton and Denton. Perhaps it did? Even though Farage, Tice and their cronies 'earn' much more by undermining sterling?

Faarage thinks he can control overt racism and misogyny in his party but he can't. He has entrenched the hatred with his own anti-migrant rhetoric. We now have #Turqshirts instead of blackshirts.

#GortonandDenton tomorrow will be a test for British democracy. Will the millionaires who fund right-wing #Reform propaganda win again? Or can a #Green local plumber who relies on members and small donors defeat them?
