Many on the right will try and belittle and undermine what’s happening.

But here’s the truth. Tens of thousands are joining Greens. Polls are at record highs. People are just starting to feel hope again.

It's very simple.

The people costing all the money, are the people with all the money.

Not the people with hardly any money.

It really shouldn't need explaining.

Very very good letter in the FT magazine this morning pinpointing what humans definitely do when we “learn” and why machine
LLM “learning” isn’t that. (And also why LLMs take up so much more energy than we do for thinking.)
Beautiful looking Dalek that one, the colours work really well.

Im waiting for the winner to ask to be edited out making the whole thing pointless!

Reform UK says it’ll ‘reset Britain inch by inch'. But to what? Smog, slums and Section 28? Their nostalgic fantasy hides a dangerous truth.

This is a clear-eyed breakdown of what’s really on offer ⤵️
Reform UK offers nostalgia, not solutions
Reform UK trades on national nostalgia – but behind the slogans lies regression, not renewal or reform

If our priveleged media class had half the empathy and knowledge and compassion as Zoe, we would be a totally different country, full of hope and decency.
Mainstream radio presenters like Vanessa Feltz are perfectly happy to contribute, in their own small way, to the rise of the extreme far right.

Her interview with me on LBC just now was chock full of lies. Calls herself a journalist.
Really I wonder how they sleep at night.
