Lying the new #Tory strategy - well not that new....

This is a lie.

There are many criticisms you might sensibly and truthfully make of the Sentencing Council and the Sentencing Guidelines. I’ve been making them for years.

But this is an outright lie. Pure fabrication. A fraud on the public.

#Jenrick is either aware of what he's saying and he's auditioning for #Reform - or he's too dim to realise that his words would be reported. Either way, it does look 100pc racist.

....but they're not reporting on #Epstein

Humiliation upon humiliation for the Melster in front of half-full Tory crowd | John Crace At conference where the stench of decay is overpowering, the shadow chancellor’s speech was an act of desperation

Fortunately for #MelStride the launch of the mostly empty #Tory (Neo) Nasty party event barely got a mention on the evening news www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Today's news that #Gerrard is about to replace Martin at #GlasgowRangers beggars belief. If true, Rangers fans have our deepest sympathy #UTV #AVFC

An unlucky 13 games at the Villa for 'the Fash' #UTV #AVFC

One of the stars of the show on Thursday and deserves to start. A long time since we had a reliable second string keeper. Said to be a decent sort too. #UTV #AVFC

Tomorrow will be Unai Emery's 150th game as Aston Villa manager.

He needs just one more win to reach 80 wins as Villa boss.

Emery will become the quickest manager to that win milestone in the history of the club if he does it in the next 16 games.

Astute and important.

Different exploration strategies along the autism spectrum: diverging effects of autism diagnosis and autism traits - Molecular Autism When faced with many options to choose from, humans typically need to explore the utility of new choice options. People with an autism diagnosis or elevated autism traits are thought to avoid exploring such unknown options, but it remains unclear how autism affects exploration in decision spaces with many options. In a large online sample (N = 588), we investigated the impact of autism diagnosis or elevated autism traits on exploration behavior during value-based decision-making in vast decision spaces. We used a 121-armed bandit with spatially correlated choice options, and a dedicated computational model to disentangle generalization, uncertainty-guided exploration, and random exploration strategies. Our findings show that participants with a self-reported autism diagnosis were less likely to explore novel choice options and more likely to exploit known high-value options. Computational modeling suggests they engaged in less uncertainty-driven exploration but exhibited equal random exploration and generalization strategies. Interestingly, among non-diagnosed participants, people with elevated autism traits did not explore less. This study relies on self-reported autism diagnoses and trait measures collected online. This may limit the generalizability of the findings to clinically verified or more diverse autism populations. Our findings highlight important differences in exploration strategies between clinical and subclinical populations and emphasize the importance of cognitive modeling and using vast decision spaces to better understand autism.

"neither autism nor autism traits lead to suboptimal... decision-making" & "autism leads to less exploration while more autism traits did not (or even to more exploration)" molecularautism.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.... "results caution against extrapolating findings from trait studies to autism"

#Farage and #Badenoch have noticed and about to try the same here in the #UK. 'A populace that is agitated without being informed' - exactly this.

The vacuous presence that is #Philp on this morning - lying that #ECHR not part of the #GoodFridayAgreement -and just as they said with #Brexit 'trade with the #EU' would be unaffected'. Incredible that the #BBC's Damian Grammaticas didn't challenge this

The same idiots that thought Brexit would improve Britain are the same idiots now demanding we leave the ECHR because Brexit failed. All our rights and freedoms would be threatened leaving us open to exploitation by the wealthy right, individuals like Farage.

Perhaps we need to reflect on why the #ECHR was set up. To protect us all against extreme politics and politicians. The use of scapegoats essential to this narrative. Jews, Muslims, Immigrants, asylum seekers etc etc. Who's next?

#Philp and #Badenoch on this various channels this morning making this point better than we ever could.

Like saying the #ECHR not part of the #GoodFridayAgreement - when it is.

#Putin will be delighted at #Philp #Badenoch and #Farage joining him removing citizens rights by not being part of the #ECHR -maybe some of the people campaigning for this should first find out what it is, what it does, and the implications of leaving on their freedoms, rights and our economy.

Never agreed with them but could respect many, like Ken Clarke. But is there one decent soul left in the #Tories. Most have either left or been slung out - This week is the chance to take a look at what remains. #ToryPartyConference

A space created by the self-interested, contrived lovable buffoonery, perfected by #Johnson at Eton?

Fast forward a few years to what is rumoured to b possibility for the #UK -still think getting rid of #ECHR a good idea?

The more exposed #Farage becomes the more his story unravels?

An array of photos, interviews and videos of Farage and Gill completely debunk Zia Yusuf's claim that "most people in the senior leadership team have never really heard of the guy”. But there's much more 2/12

No wonder they want to leave the #ECHR

Forget #ClimateChange, leave the #ECHR

While you're at it Carla, add the #ECHR. In the short term the most pressing and dangerous.

Imagine living in a country with a Government of this ilk without the protection afforded by the #ECHR to ALL citizens. Just think about that.
