New record for wind-powered electricity in Britain A new wind record has been set for Britain, with enough electricity generated from turbines to power 22 million homes, the system operator has said.

Cued up ready for my bedtime podcast to listen to.

“It isn’t people seeking sanctuary who are tearing our country apart. It’s toxic, racist narratives and the scapegoating of migrants for crises they did not cause.”

Carla Denyer challenges the Home Secretary's new immigration reforms saying they just fuel far-right narratives.

They obviously have a lot of narrow boats full of illegals turning up on the Trent and Mersey canal.

So there are still some Labour MPs with a soul.

The image is a tweet from Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) that reads: “Q: Massie says he's concerned that the Epstein probe you're calling for could be a smokescreen to block the release of more files. Is that the case? TRUMP: I don't want to talk about it because fake news like you — you're a terrible reporter — they just keep bringing that up to deflect from the tremendous success of the Trump administration.” Below the text is a screenshot from a Fox News broadcast showing Donald Trump speaking to reporters outdoors at night. The chyron reads: “BREAKING NEWS — NOW: PRESIDENT TRUMP SPEAKING TO REPORTERS” and the location marker says: “PALM BEACH INT’L AIRPORT LIVE 6:50 PM ET.”

So, that’s a yes.

The AI bubble may be about to bust.

Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.

We all need to say this very clearly:

NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!

Expropriate their asses instead.

They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.

They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

The Great AI Bubble Yes, it's a bubble. And yes, it's going to burst.

“If you want to know what a bubble looks like, it’s this”

Colour me shocked

There has now been 9 episodes of #BBCQT since it returned from its summer break A Reform representative/mouthpiece has appeared on 5 of them: Kruger - Nov 13 Goodwin - Oct 30 Dorries - Oct 23 Yusuf - Oct 9 Tice - Sept 25 But please tell me more about the BBC's left wing bias

It this really isn’t it?

It makes me wonder whether Prescott actually consulted the original source himself & doctored it or simply took dictation from someone else. A person, for example, who had helped insert a right-wing lobbyist who hadn’t done journalism for over 20 years into such a potentially important position…

As you might imagine, this is very good. It is also very funny.

😶

It will always be the Pan Am building to me.

If the BBC fold and make some compensatory payment to Trump for the hurt and defamation caused by the clumsy documentary editing, perhaps the White House could consider naming the new ballroom the BBC Ballroom so we are in future constantly reminded of the error of our ways.

the right winger who was appointed to lead the BBC in the hope of appeasing right wingers has been driven out by right wingers for not appeasing right wingers enough and the BBC has the chance to do the funniest thing ever

On Donald Trump's attack on the BBC this PM, Lib Dem Leader Ed Davey:

"It’s easy to see why Trump wants to destroy the world’s number one news source. We can’t let him.

"The BBC belongs to all of us here in the UK.

"The PM [and others] should be united in telling Trump to keep his hands off it."

The niche moment I'm waiting for is Kemi Badenoch denouncing whichever government was in charge when Davie was appointed.

Even if the BBC survive, I imagine that Trump will have HIGNFY shut down soon.

Can we make sure that Strictly, and any other derivative shows involving other sports, pastimes, hobbies etc are consigned to history?

nuh uh.

I don't watch BBC News any more, and not likely to restart any time soon.

Be clear, the American far right are coming for British democracy.

Just absolutely classic BBC. You've just broadcast the most successful programme of the year, uniting Gen Z kids online and Boomers on broadcast in a return to appointment television. And instead of celebrating, your DG reigns due to a made-up right-wing scandal.

It’s ironic but predictable that the BBC duo -who tried so hard to please the right wing papers-are removed by the right wing papers.

BBC's journey to the dark side is complete.

This is the most abysmal, pathetic thing. The BBC head resigning because the corporation is not supine *enough* to the far-right.

I think UK Labour has started to worry more about Zack Polanski than Nigel Farage.

Quentin Willson: Former Top Gear and Fifth Gear presenter dies aged 68 The presenter and campaigner was described by his family as a "true national treasure" and "true consumer champion".

Too young. OG Top Gear presenter, car journalist, and EV cheerleader Quentin Wilson dead at 68.

Releases in error - Justice Data Providing at a glance data on services provided by the Ministry of Justice, using quality assured and published data.

Defo an upswing in instances of "releases in error" since 2023.

But why has the figure been above immeasurable at all? Is it so hard to keep people in prison, esp. where the prisoner had no intent of escaping.

This is one of those times when social media is important. I don't trust most major news organizations to do much with this photo, even though it speaks volumes about this moment in our nation's history. But the image going viral will get it seen, and might push news orgs to use and discuss it.
