"The Polish government think Epstein may have been spying for Vladimir Putin, is the PM concerned that Mandelson may have been leaking state secrets, not just to a paedophile, financier, but also a Russian agent?" asks Ed Davey.

Starmer: "The investigation will go wherever the evidence leads"

'Peter Mandelson's Fixing of Keir Starmer’s Visit to Spytech Firm Palantir Raises Serious Questions' Palantir was represented by a lobbying firm founded by Mandelson, Iain Overton and Max Colbert report

If Mandelson is being investigated for his Epstein connections, he must also be investigated for his Thiel connections, because they ran a joint fund when Mandelson fixed Starmer's visit to Palantir

The continuing Mandelson story is I think just another illustration of why this government's approval fell dramatically and remains rock bottom. The change that didn't come - freebies, scandals, old faces, and no sign of understanding why these matter.

Beautiful! Great colour combination. 💖

It's quite something to pick a policy that has been sunk by controversy before and not pause to say 'let's check we've got the policy details right this time around'.

Is it just possible - bear with me - just possible, that it might be possible both to have democracy and fix potholes?

Congrats to Macclesfield's Silkmen, beating Crystal Palace in the biggest FA Cup shock of all time. Macclesfield was once the world's largest producer of finished silk, with 5,000 looms and 71 mill factories. Photo of Paradise Mill, now part of the Silk Museum.

When quoting someone, it’s usually customary to use quotation marks and nicely, appropriate to give them credit when it’s a direct quote.

mzsibyl_® › •: Al Threads 3d Tired of the Prompt Thieves in the Al art community. Seriously, the moment a great prompt is public, someone immediately copies it, shares it, and pretends it's their own genius work. It's not about gatekeeping, it's about giving credit where it's due. Stop stealing and start creating! #PromptStealer 1/2

OscarAl @Artedeingenio X.com Never do this: Passing off someone else's work as your own. This Grok Imagine effect with the day-to-night transition was created by me — and I'm pretty sure that person knows it. To make things worse, their copy has more impressions than my original post. Not cool

subscribe @Artedeingenio I don't know what you think, but this seems a bit unfel to me. My original post with the Saori Kido Athena prompt has 4,000 impressions, while @dvorahfr's post with an image created with my prompt has 30,000. As for not quoting me as the author, I'm not saying anything, because she has apologised. I would like to understand that it was an unintentional mistake, although I think I'm well enough known around here to use a prompt of mine without knowing it's mine. If I wasn't so well known, would there have been a rectification? I am afraid that many small accounts are stolen on a daily basis and nothing happens. But for a copy to be more widely distributed than the original is a very bad symptom. Without focusing on anyone, I think that some big accounts hardly create original content and just post other people's content, often without quoting the author, and that's very uncool. Respect and honesty above all else. Let's play fair.

AI sloppers (is that a term?) crying that their prompts are being stolen is more beautiful than anything AI could produce

For the record, I've never used Midjourney or ChatGPT or any other LLM or art-mangling AI. I gave up on Google and use DuckDuckGo with the AI functions and images turned off under the Manage AI setting. I use spellcheck in Word because my spelling sucks and I visit the Merriam-Webster website a lot.

Look at Labour plummeting. This is why they are cancelling local elections.

So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10

Excellent news. Always a relief to get any surgery over with! Very best wishes.

A black and white photograph showing two women in outdoor coats and hats (Lisette Phillips, secretary at St Bartholomew's Hospital and her friend Venetia) standing by the fountain in the hospital square. In the background are hospital buildings - in front of one building is a row of wooden structures shaped like square based pyramids with the top chopped off. Slits are visible at the top of the slatted walls of the structures (SBHPP/ETP/1)

As the world has looked back on VE day this week, we have had a question about St Bartholomew's Hospital in the Second World War, which we can't answer. Can you help?!
This photo was taken in the hospital square in the 1940s; what was the purpose of the temporary wooden structures in the background?
