So now Trump’s paramilitary force is undermining norms of trust & sociability to exploit vulnerability. Every social interaction becomes a potential trap. When nobody can trust one another, people become lonely & isolated. A perfect way to undermine collective action & promote tyranny.

George Osbourne cut public spending by roughly 3% in real terms.

The Govt has increased it by 4.3% at the last budget alone.

This sort of critiques are entirely vibes based and detached from reality

Sorry, Curry skated and Cousins reminisced.

What’s gone wrong with the BBC Winter Olympics coverage. There is chance of an individual medal so replays from Cousins win instead of anything happening now.

Original Palantir contract was in 2023, under Sunak.

Why not delete the irritating apps and return your phone to being a useful accessory. If you remove an apps ability to send you notifications that’ll help.
If you use Facebook my advice is pretty pointless, it will take over your life.
NB some local information is only on Facebook, decision time.

The BBC iPlayer opening screen knows who I am but insists I confirm it, every time. It looks and feels clunky. BBC sounds is almost as bad, it knows what I usually listen to but makes me start at channel 1.

User friendly interfaces are pretty much the norm for other providers, why not the BBC.

Isn’t that why air tags were invented?

Many Americans have never been out of their state, never mind the country. I’m sure there are a lot of these people who haven’t seen the sea.

And all credit to the PM for doing just that.

Jim Ratcliffe's comments make me nostalgic for the 1970s when rich people would simply confine themselves to funding UFO research, studies into after-death communication or private armies to overthrow the Wilson government.

Not been aware of this “uproar” anywhere but here. Either on the news or in broadsheet media. And there should be uproar. Because, in a nutshell, it tells you why Reform - in their infantile, idiotic, vengeful inadequacy - are so ragingly unfit for office.

Not a media concoction. But she sheer loss of perspective at times is off the scale Sam.

Cynical me, maybe Pochin had something going on in Bangor and wanted a reason to go there?

She may have even been tempted to ask if she could “answer questions” by the opportunity to claim expenses.

Believing that 'it's always been this way, so you really shouldn't bother complaining about it' is the perfect way of never changing anything. Ever.

But Sam, it’s the media who’ve gone after Labour since day one. Reeves, Raynor, Starmer it’s been relentless. Look how long currygate went on during Covid. Yet stories come out about Farage barely a mention. His house in Clacton 🤔 His tax 🤔 The donors🤔 His links to Trumps backers 🤷🏼‍♀️

“ I want to live in Dubai” said nobody ever

In my day debating societies didn’t have the authority to ban anyone from campus. As Otto suggests, this is a clumsy attempt at self promotion by Reform.

I’m sure lots of people would like to invite themselves to speak to University societies. But students shouldn’t be forced to hear them.

How has this government “blocked” justice. This is a serious allegation do you have evidence.

The investigation of crime in London, Harrods is based there, is down to the MET.

Public enquiries are expensive and last a long time. They also seem to but a damper on police investigations.

Chris Mason is a truly dreadful judge of political thinking. I wouldn’t be surprised if the rallying of the Labour party has been partially triggered by his antipathy.

If I was Starmer I’d politely refuse any interview or involvement from Mason.

Listening to people in the pub the amusing, to me, thought is he’s unpopular because the press say he is.

They listen to Chris Mason and his colleagues and assume they know what they’re talking about.

There is a worrying lack of political understanding in the UK. Democracy!!!

I have today been informed that, despite personal assurances to the contrary, the Green party have once again used my image and misrepresented my words on a second leaflet circulated in Gorton and Denton ahead of the by-election. I have now lodged an official complaint with the returning officer.

“The failure to use digital technologies and practices as a catalyst for public sector reform doesn’t just hinder government’s policymaking, operational efficiency, and effectiveness. It also weakens and jeopardises democratic legitimacy.”

I see we're back to "Johnson resigned because of a party" and not because he employed a known sex pest, lied about what he knew, and more than half his cabinet resigned as a result.

Just beyond parody at this point

In case you missed the moment.

Art is powerful

And your recommendation for the consequences is?
