Googled F1 times for this weekend's title decider. Glanced at Google's AI, which I (understandably) usually ignore – it managed to get EVERYTHING wrong, and confidently as well. I can't repeat it enough: if you're relying on AI and not checking everything it spits out, it will eventually burn you

Valid observation here up to a point but the *actual* cause is an environment in which a decreasing number of people can get increasingly wealthy to the point where they can make mad bets and externalise a lot of potential costs and risks. Like an *awful* lot
When the AI bubble does bursts, we’ll have think pieces reflecting on how the totally predictable thing happened, with zero accountability.
This con is a media-driven one, and it will take down the last remnants of trust in the media with it.

Oh fuck off.
The economic damage Brexit has caused is undeniable - even Brexiteers are now admitting it.

We Brexiteers must acknowledge the costs of leaving Europe
Breaking free from the EU has undoubtedly deepened the UK’s malaise, and it’s no use denying it

This just seems like such an unforced error by team Starmer, as well as being a timely reminder of just how concerned Cymru Lab are about May elections
BREAKING NEWS
Over a third of Welsh Labour Senedd Members have written to Keir Starmer to stop undermining devolution.
They say:
"If this was being done by a Tory Government, we would be calling for a judicial review. This must never happen again."

He's going to have to up his game on actual policies one way or another, so I daresay getting the Tories to do the grunt work is what passes for sensible. Somehow, I can't see him playing Clegg to whoever is the Tory leader if this pans out...
There will come a point where Farage realises he needs non-dregs defectors to look vaguely respectable and Tory frontbenchers realise a pact is the only way they get to carry on being MPs. Then there will be deal.
FT Exclusive: The Reform UK leader told donors he expects a deal or merger between his party and the Conservatives ahead of the next general election, suggesting he does not believe he can sweep to power alone. on.ft.com/44xlHi0
