Our new report: local political parties are renting out office space to MPs β€” who claim the cost on expenses.

But in most cases, they pay no tax on that income β€” or on rent from local businesses.

We reviewed 630 sets of accounts. What we found is a systemic failure. 🧡

Yes! That kind of person who always seems as though they’re kidding, but they never are. Like Pesci: β€œFunny how?” But they always mean it.

Kevin James looking a bit like Alex Jones.

There are two problem-solving approaches:

1) identify a problem that you want to solve, then find a method that will solve it
or
2) pick a method you want to use, and go hunting for problems.

The second way is the stupid way, so it shouldn't surprise anyone that it's the default method in tech.

This fake Donald Trump tweet is once again being widely shared following the president's imposition of global tariffs and the markets plunging in the aftermath.

Trump never posted this. It's fake.

One of those where the sequels unfairly diminish the original’s reputation. First game has AI and atmosphere up there with Half Life series imo.

Prime Minister sets out blueprint to turbocharge AI Artificial intelligence will deliver a decade of national renewal, as part of a new plan announced today (13 January 2025).

It's early in the morning but I don't think the AI Opportunities Action Plan by Matt Clifford has been published, so we don't know (for instance) if the government is streamlining the visa process as was reported by the FT in an earlier draft www.gov.uk/government/n...

Is there another film series that falls off as much as Die Hard? First three are solid. 3 is arguably as good as 1, but then it heads for the bin fast.
