Still selecting members of the selection committee.

It is a catastrophic misfire that our national conversation about tech regulation is focused on age limits and not on using state power to build a cordon sanitaire against the fascist rot which has overtaken the three largest social media providers

Reform don't want to regulate your landlord.

They don't want to regulate your employer.

But they do want to regulate your sex life.

The whole US concept of a city is so far removed from Europe (and even to an extent LATAM).

I don’t see how you can have a “frontbench” team of members who don’t even have a bench.

Quite the scenes on Good Morning Britain as Ed Balls tells Kemi Badenoch her student loan interest plan will only help the richest ex-students. After she insists he's wrong, GMB bring on Martin Lewis to back up Balls' argument and tell her the plan makes no sense.

Only Mexican user of Louise Mensch’s social media platform.

Though those of us from the Grim North who went to That London for work then moved back when we were priced out have found that the house prices back here shot up while we were gone (and were spending more than the total cost of our parents' mortgage on rent in several years).

The version of AI that “works” always seems to go to another school.

But some people are also clearly happy to accept the junk the shit versions turn out.

Tbf the Americans can’t do decent Mexican food either.

And the baffling thing that people in positions of power are in thrall to them, and hang off their every word.

There’s loads of these people, particularly in political life, at all levels. They make a living off cultivating an address book of people of power and influence. Everything is a favour done for a return at a later date. And then they cut off those who are of no more use to them.

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

Also this:

Every time I see the argument, I just think "Yeah, but I can't see a doctor *now* - the problem is already here!"

The population of my county hasn't increased in 20 years (and is getting steadily older) and yet more homes are needed.
