Hiya Team 👋

I have been using Comet and Edge's Copilot.

I love Comet. Perplexity did a great job with their Assistant and new tab page.

Edge's Copilot new tab page is actually really well designed and very efficient. I would love a discover button for Daily & news summaries though.

Hiya Team 👋

Leicester City should provide access to all premium stats on players from multiple sources (like Opta, Soccerment, FB Ref, SmarterScout) as part of their LCFC TV subscriptions.

Creating a codified and accessible source while making money, also helps supporters engage with evidence.

The UK financial service and banking sector is one of the pillars of our economy.

We must be more like Switzerland in protecting privacy and enhancing security.

Be more like Singapore in not overdoing our taxation.

We must embrace Crypto regulation and become a centre for currency exchange.

@perplexitycomet.bsky.social can we get a synced android app please and thank you.

Loving the Comet browser. Really need it on all my devices.

Again we see the pits of depravity the left - devoid of humanity - has fallen to.

They claim to be opposed to guns, to violence, to fascism, and yet they are the ones brandishing threats and weapons to silence their opponents.

Free speech needs protection.

The ones who claim to be against fascism, guns, and violence seem to be the ones who use them to silence, harm, and threaten their opponents.

Tragic, unnecessary, and illustrates the depravity of a left devoid of humanity.

We must rip up tax codes which damage the self-employed and harm construction of houses.

So too must we change our wages laws to move in lockstep with inflation, so we never lose money on wages ever again.

An historic realignment of politics has seen a dramatic shift of the red wall and working class to Reform.

Sick to death of the incompetence in policy, corruption in hypocritical politicians, and the lack of engagement & listening to the British people.

I am disappointed with the loan of Alves this season. I think he should have got his chance for us.

This confirms we are signing for midfield and page in senior squad.

It has long been ridiculous to create a false narrative with real pictures of completely different scenarios.

These people have no moral compass.

Full Fact @fullfact.org · Jul 5

Images of a girl peering through a gap have been shared online with a Palestinian flag emoji, and the suggestion she is in distress.

But they actually show a playing child looking through a hole in a wall, and there’s no evidence they were taken in Gaza.

We previously fact checked claims about the video these images come from last November.

Full fact remain a bastion for holding public figures and institutions accountable for their actions.

Could we eventually fullfact respond in comments to public figures comments to clarify, add context, or attack misinformation?

Leicester City's lack of ambition in this pre-season is illustrative of a major degradation in the core identity and mentality which underpinned years of broad success.

Poor contracts, poor recruitment, poor upper management, and now we have worse grounds keepers, no head coach, and no transfers

Elliot Mackness @elliotjmackness.bsky.social · Jul 4

The Labour Party is now going to be under threat from the left Corbynistas, and from the right with a surging Farage party.

Starmer has a lot to do if he wants a chance at facing them off. The heartlands will be decimated.

Ukraine needs to do everything it can to avoid hurting civilians and journalists. They cannot act with impunity like russia

Elliot Mackness @elliotjmackness.bsky.social · Jun 27

Utter warcrimes. And Trump wants to be pals with this tyrannical murderous regime.

The UK needs to deploy anti missle and anti drone support to Ukraine and set up RAF sites to defend the airspace of major Ukrainian cities. Not on the frontlines to be clear.

⚡️Update: Death toll in Russian June 24 attack on Dnipro rises to at least 21, more than 300 injured.

I detest the idea of X being bankrolled by AI, fake ads, and misinformation.

Giving such a business control over your finances would be incompetence.

The UK can do little more than our current sanctions against individuals and businesses.

What we must do is offer an olive branch to Russian businesses, powerful individuals, and politicians... foundations for normalised relations with an independent and sovereign Ukraine guaranteed...

What does everyone think is the best option for a first car for a first-time driver?

I'm thinking about keeping insurance costs down, but I think we do not want incessant repairs and part replacements every month.

Great. That is just what I wanted to hear about AI. It will resort to straight telling you to clean the exhaust or they will not write that poem on Trump-Iran-Greenland love letters.

The worst thing about UK heat is when you have the fan on all day and the fan now gives up on life... overheating, slowing down, becoming weak... basically imitating me trying to chase our doggos round the garden.
