The U.K. fishing industry - weaponised & then betrayed & then abandoned, by Johnson, Farage & the rest of them - is better off under Starmer’s deal than it was under Johnson’s. That’s not an opinion. It’s counting. Anyone claiming otherwise is a liar.

I'm procrastinating, Stancil is getting dragged over it, and the Rewatchables podcast guys finally covered it, so I guess it's time for what I hope is my last thread ever on Star Wars. Let's do this. 🧵

Thunderbolts. Come for the familiar Marvel IP. Stay for the contemplation on loneliness, depression, angst and the nature of being in the world. Surprisingly good.

Wow. China just called out the Trump administration for blatantly lying about the existence of any ongoing negotiations between the U.S. and China.

Chancellor breaks down the EU into its constituent countries to argue the US is the UK's "single biggest trading partner". Illogical, as a better deal with the EU is a deal with every member state. And as a bloc the EU is by far our largest trading partner, as the OBR shows👇

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired! New ride coming soon.

The UK can secure significant growth of 1.7% - 2.2% through a policy of deep alignment with the EU on goods and services, while staying within Starmer's red lines. This is the approach to push for: peak ambition within the constraints Labour has set. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Good to hear more voices pushing for a Youth Mobility Scheme with the EU. For ministers to pretend this equals freedom of movement is ridiculous - similar agreements exist with over a dozen other countries with max time limit. Young people deserve better than this. Where’s the hope & vision?

This is, by some distance, the most unforgivably stupidest thing the government is doing. An easily sellable proposal, which would actually help Brits, and unlocks meaningful negotiation. Irrational and anti-growth.

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/
