Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.

A lot of the media really struggle to cover the 4chan edgelord meme stuff because it seems so unserious. And it is. But it's also serious.
It’s beyond insane that our overarching internal security agency has spent months tweeting barely-coded messages of support for neo-Nazi groups and the entire media apparatus looks at it and says “That’s odd but certainly not part a major story that is relevant to current events, I’m sure”

“Grok’s latest behaviour is disgusting, degrading and cannot be allowed to pass without consequence – but it is also an opportunity for Keir Starmer and European leaders. Musk and X have crossed a Rubicon.”

Shut down Musk’s AI porn
Grok is churning out sexual images on an industrial scale – some of teenage girls – and pleading free speech. If the UK and Europe don’t act now, they never will

My old friend Patrick Matthews slogged for years to build up a few small struggling cafes in London parks. Now they're a success, so the parks are rewarding him by giving the cafes to someone who offered them more money.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

The consumer backlash to data centers is here.
Right now, you’re paying more for your electricity because of AI data centers you’ve never seen — and that may never be built. Advocates for ratepayers in Maryland are pushing back.

Consumers are finally pushing back on AI-driven data expansion. Will it matter?
