I’m delighted to welcome Robert Jenrick to Reform UK - we need more people like him with strongly held principles. The sort of principle that led him to overrule a planning decision to save a billionaire pornographer £45m in exchange for a £12,000 donation.

The main bank account holding revenue from the Venezuelan oil sales is located in Qatar.

“There is no basis in law for a president to set up an offshore account that he controls so that he can sell assets seized by the American military,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren.

Loathed to add to this already long thread, but another point is that people are stuck on the idea of AI images that are ‘real’ or ‘fake’ - all AI images are fake, and all AI images are based, at least at their root, on real ones. It’s not a useful distinction to get hung up on, IMO.
BBC report at a headline level that Grok will now not make sexually exploitative images any more. An actual reporter comes on and explains that it will do no such thing, and will just make the images invisible in the UK. These are two very, very different things.

Reform told you reducing council tax was easy. They just had to slash Woke policies, and a billion or two would be saved. They wouldn't even need to close care services.

They promise you that.

And then every single Reform-led council cut care services and increased council tax.

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter.

I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.
