It’s time this sort of politicking stopped and thinking what’s best for the electorate was central to policy.

We're turning the tide on violence. When I launched my Violence Reduction Unit, it was built on a simple belief: prevention works. One million Londoners reached later, the results speak for themselves.

Fascinating Jeremy, now tell us about the time you cut national insurance twice as an electoral game despite knowing we couldn't afford it.

The only flag just up the road from me has been turned into wet tatters spread over the road in the last couple of days. Nothing left on the lamppost at all. Wonder if it will be replaced?

Streaming. Forget the companies for a second, Amazon, Netflix etc. Just think about the tech. It’s magic made real.

A new definition of Britishness lands. Let’s find this person and make them the well spring of citizenship. <joke btw …. Just in case>

This is a mess. For decades, IT has been decentralizing, distributing, separating … and all the time making it harder and harder to maintain, manage, and control. Governance has been ceded in the name of ease and speed. This is where we end up. Yeah, I started on mainframe - why do you ask?

Tyne Pride at Wallsend, 1976, photo by Chris Killip. Biggest ship ever built on the Tyne, but also one of the last.

The apparent eagerness in the media for this to spread elsewhere and especially here is strange and noticeable

And now for some good news

Same with Union flags or England flags.

Speaking purely personally, I do not see how I could argue I was using X for some "greater good" of advocacy when the main principles behind X these days are the a antithesis of basic rights, respect, freedoms and democracy. The ROI just doesn't pay off in making that particular devil's bargain. 4/

2028? How stupid are you? 2038 is more likely. Why is this man never held to account for his track record? His record for faking public demonstrations, his record for delivering products years and years late, his record for hawking products that never hit the market anything like he marketed them.

Rafael Behr dismantles Reform UK's asylum 'plan' in less than 90 seconds, exposing how the party blames immigration for the problems the UK is facing. "It's not actually a policy for the UK to function as a country."

It's legitimate for the EU, the UK, Canada and others to support their Ukrainian ally. If Musk is going to (in effect) assist Putin's invasion of Ukraine, Ukraine's allies should sanction Starlink, X and Tesla. At the very least, governments (and people) should stop using his fucking site already.

No idea why Sky are so excited. Until the punishments are handed down the season means nothing. The game is a farce now, the League table a nonsense because there’s no competitive football till this has been resolved. No one will end today with points so why bother? We might as well wait till August

Exactly this.

I wasn’t sure how watching the game would feel today. The whole thing just feels so pointless. Not sure how that gets fixed while the appeal goes on. Ideally, i think, they should suspend all city games pending the result. Not really practical. Announce what will happen to the points maybe? #lfc

Ukraine hitting Russian refineries is a crucial part of the war effort.. if they stopped, it increases the chance that Zelenskyy would be the *last* Ukrainian President.

Maybe, along with consciousness and feelings, they will start to develop their own moral code 🤔🤪

Kemi Badenoch has just KILLED downsizing in retirement Welcome to millions of frail, single pensioners, in homes far too big for them, refusing to move for fear of the tax hit giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Just wondering where and when are the riots over this White Paedophile Gang, just convicted? Did I not get the memo? Did I miss the Invite?

We might laugh at the big guy - but it's this one who's properly dangerous.

Oh dear god! It really does get worse.

There really is nothing more to say about these venal, morality-free, hoodlums is there? www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

I'm sorry if this is obvious but the Tory proposal to exempt family homes completely from IHT will lead to 1] pensioners buying the biggest houses they possibly can 2] pensioners refusing to downsize which can only be bad news for younger families trying to buy family homes

Man who won’t give his employees piss breaks claims many piss breaks on the horizon

This is heartbreaking www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Just wait till next weeks audience with the king. Then you’ll find out

Love this

Couples with £1 million and a family home will be able to avoid contributing anything to the collective good of their children’s and grandchildren’s country says Kemi Badenoch. www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Unless social care is sorted this matter not one jot for many. The homes are being sold to pay for care before they ever get near IHT.

Judging by the air when I walk the dog, if everyone smoking weed round here was arrested, I would be living in an empty post apocalyptic landscape with only my dog for company.

There are models that are trained in exactly this way. People choose not to use them.

My dad was (technically still is, you never lose the title) a professor of Tribology. Wrote books on it that were referenced when my son went through uni doing materials engineering. Fascinating field of study. And vital. And @gilesyb.bsky.social is right. Nobody knows what it is.

Lordy …. That’s bad.

Paying taxes is punishment is it? Some might say it's a contribution to the infrastructure and regulations (like the rule of law) that enables you to build a successful business and, being less transactional, your contribution to society..

Give me the confidence in my opinions on stuff I specialise in that Musk has in his opinions on stuff he doesn’t.

I've heard people make claims that AI would lead to a new Renaissance, but I didn't imagine it'd happen like this:
