Up in Dublin to see Dylan. Only out of the station and 5 different people have tried to pour coddle into my hands.

Labour - We are going to deny desperate vulnerable people the basic means of bare survival, and possible steal their belongings.
Tommy Robinson - Victory!
Reform - Stop stealing our policies.
“Left-leaning Centrists” - People are blowing this out of proportion, it’s not THAT bad!

Labour MP Brian Leishman: "The Government has surrendered to... the vile rhetoric of Reform. Does the Home Secretary not see that removing the legal obligation to support asylum seekers who will be otherwise destitute, is as far away from Labour Party principles and values as we can get?"

Perhaps the most revealing thing from all the Starmer/Streeting kerfuffle is when Wes said that nothing gets Kier angrier than Labour people briefing against their own.
Genocide, transphobia, racism, rampant poverty, he’s fine. But watch him explode if you dirt to the media.

After the mass theft of copyrighted work, AI companies still need state funding for their business model to work.
They want to use tax money to train technology that will, ultimately, take millions of jobs from the people paying the taxes in the first place.
