Starmer should take responsibility for following that advice, which brings into question his sound judgement when making decisions based on advice given.
So far his appointments of McSweeney, Mandelson and a few others don't bode well.
We absolutely can afford a UBI, and we do need it, regardless of any impacts AI ends up having.
The cost of UBI is its net cost, not its gross cost. If you get $15k and pay $7k higher taxes as part of the deal, that cost is $8k not $15k.
Try calculating the costs of not doing UBI. Include fascism.
This is what politics should feel like: thoughtful, honest and shaking things up.
Hannah Spencer is going to be a brilliant MP for Gorton & Denton.
It's time to stop Reform in their tracks:
Watch online this Wednesday.
Reform have plans to privatise healthcare - there's not many in Gorton and Denton who can afford those costs.
As for public services, look at areas where Reform are already in control - more flags doesn't count as a public service.
Toxic gases killed the canary.
McSweeney admitting Labour is as dangerous as any toxic gas.

From Heaven to Palantir HQ, from Yorkshire to our Bold Politics studio - great to have legendary journalist Simon Hattenstone follow me around.
Here's what he saw in his report:
www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
A minister added "if we do come third the PM is in trouble.,
Yet again a Labour minister lets the cat out of the bag. They are expecting to come third in Gorton and Denton.
Only the Green Party can stop Reform.
Lower bills, tax the rich, protect the NHS. We will win.
Why Labour should be more afraid of @greenparty.org.uk winning elections than Reform (Former Conservatives) is because they know Reform will be even worse than they are and people will jump back to Labour quite quickly.
Whereas Green Party will be an improvement and people will stay with them.
It's time for Keir Starmer to do the right thing and step down.

๐ฃ @zackpolanski.bsky.social: "The Green Party are the only party who can stop Reform and to have the Labour Party trying to wade in, trying to make themselves relevant, demonstrates what a difficult week they've had and what a difficult year they've had since gaining power."
