I am begging people to understand Gorton and Denton is a very untypical constituency. In most English seats, the Green surge and the Reform advance we saw last night would deliver a Reform MP. As things stand, Farage should be the massive favourite to be next PM.

U.S.S. Enterprise and the Botany Bay

Narrator: Labour didn't realise what's been obvious for years.

Does Farage realise he can't have a "shadow" cabinet as he is not the opposition. Hhalf of his MPs were not even elected as Reform MPs! Why are the media buying into this utter bullshit??

Nigel Farage makes Robert Jenrick, who he previously said was a "fraud", and told his followers that "this man is not to be trusted", his Shadow Chancellor

How many plumbers does she think we need?! A staggeringly illiterate understanding of the labour market apart from anything else.

Heard an interview today where a guy said (and I'm paraphrasing) "LLMs have had years to train on every aspect of chess, read every book and article about it, review every match, but when they play, they STILL makes illegal moves. That tells you everything."

And.

Yup.

It’s so funny to think about the fact that there’s people out there deferring every life decision to this

Watching Sir Jim Ratcliffe be so spectacularly bad at the numbers around the UK population does go some way to explaining how Man Utd paid £80m for Benjamin Sesko.

All services should be Gloucester services.

For what it's worth - I believe that if you use AI to brainstorm ideas for your book, plan chapters, help with structure, edit, create dialogue, make story suggestions or ANY part of the creative writing process you are a hack and a fraud. You are not an author.

I've just discovered that there's a scottish island called Unst and now I will always think of it whenever I hear techno. UNST UNST UNST UNST UNST UNST etc

In all seriousness, always better to wait a few weeks/months for bug updates before upgrading your OSX.

Still running Monterey on a 15 year old Mac Pro (& doing paid work on it, love Apple longevity). Each new release gets worse in my opinion. Change, unnecessary bells and whistles and dumbing down all in the name of release schedule.

Elrond’s from bloody Hull? Who knew?!

Like, what's frustrating about Morgan McSweeney more than anything is he is just really, really obviously a massive prick. If you had a workmate like him, you'd hate him. If he was your relative, you'd hate him. If you saw him in a pub, you'd hate him instantly. He just absolutely radiates it.

Absolutely - if it was wrong to appoint Mandelson as the UK's US ambassador because of his links to Epstein, and it was; it is equally as wrong for Farage to have appointed Nick Candy as Reform's treasurer. There is no getting round that ... except there is because Farage is a scrutiny free zone.

Name them
shame them

In 'I wonder why so many Labour MPs are absolute cunts?' news.

Absolutely stark raving mad.

Most of our media is studiously ignoring the Epstein links to Brexit, Farage and far right populism. Farage is being touted for No.10. He wants an even more extreme Brexit. A race to the bottom to sell us out to this global network of oligarch crooks.
Why TF isn’t he being investigated and stopped?

He's not going to fire McSweeney, is he? I'd say Starmer's judgement is abysmal but I doubt he even recognises there is an issue to judge. I absolutely refuse to believe Labour cannot do better.

50p off a 10 pint session! GEt in!

Even if it were, that's a 50p saving on a night out for someone who smashes 10 pints.

It is worth recalling that the position of U.K. Ambassador to the US was not vacant at the time the Prime Minister chose to appoint Peter Mandelson to the role. A highly competent and respected woman was replaced.
