The thing about "left on the economy, right on culture" is it's based on analysis of swing voters. Those voters are often low attention and their politics are often not especially coherent. Which is fine for them, it's not their job to run the country, but, you know, the government is

YouGov: Just 12% of Brits would consider voting for Your Party, down from 18% in July.
Compares to 25-29% of Brits being willing to consider each of the 5 main national parties.
Only 4% of those who would consider voting for Your Party do so exclusively, with 85% also being open to voting Green.

Fuck OpenAI, fuck it all the way into the flaming fires of hell, and fuck every institution that embraces and supports and encourages it.
OpenAI says they aren't liable for the suicide of a user their chat bot urged to kill himself because suicide is a violation of the TOS
Additionally, OpenAI argues its not liable because Raine, by using ChatGPT for self-harm, broke its terms of service

3) Stuff costs money. Everyone wants a nicely kept country with good services, and fifteen years of assuming volunteers can run libraries and hoping maybe the homeless would just go away did not have the same effect as paying professionals and building things did. I remain willing to pay for this

How overnight Budget analysis works: 15 minutes of putting data into Excel and cranking out some graphs. Eight hours of brainstorming the title and creating life-long enemies in the process over cold pizza.

This is quite shockingly racist and I don't know why this is getting a pass from the media. If Goodwin were still gainfully employed in a proper workplace, this is the kind of shit that gets you hauled up in front of HR and issued with a formal warning.

Genuinely puzzled why Rachel Reeves seems so poorly prepared for her post-budget media round. The questions are obvious, so why not have slicker answers prepared?

As since at least 2016 but quite possibly 2008, UK politics is fatally undermined by dishonesty, cowardice and simplism, and nothing in this budget changes that picture. Whether it is demographics or the global economy, governments haven't wanted to level with people.
