Well @netflix.com bravo on this adaptation of #DepartmentQ - brilliant casting all round and we recognised the actor who plays Akram from the equally excellent #Occupied. Binge watched it all weekend. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

These people were following the law and went to check in with immigration like they are supposed to. This woman's immigration case was dismissed, which made her immediately undocumented. So ICE took her into custody. The air conditioning was off in the back of the truck. "I can't breathe."

Good on you Sir Elton, the government’s attitude to #AI and rolling over for the big tech bros is mystifying, it will kill our creative and other industries.

If I were a small female PM and an ex basketball player PM from elsewhere pulled a stunt like this on me I would find it unprofessional, inappropriate & humiliating. She is laughing bc she is embarrassed.

I never drink coffee at home as the smell gives the OH the boak. In a hotel with a #nespresso machine, no instructions. Google doesn’t help. Already lost two of the 4 capsules provided… not a clue.. water still freezing. Fortunately there is a kettle & tea bags so I can make a cuppa.#oldageproblems

Why is the party of the workers, artisans and craftspeople ignoring them in favour of the big tech boys? I really fear for all of us in this AI future unless a decent universal basic income is introduced and the tech oligarchs pay for public services with high levels of tax.

Seems like a very easy way for a government to silence legitimate critics and opponents simply by branding them as supporters of terrorism thereby removing their tax exempt status. Has the Tax Bill defined what terrorism is? What has happened to you USA? We are watching and weeping…

What on earth do the #UKGovernment think will happen to the creative economy? Does it care? Or know how much water these #AI datacentres will need?Will AI get priority over domestic water consumption & other industries when climate change really kicks in? Also this amendt lets AI co’s break the Law!

Totally agree. Lent Labour @chriskanemp.bsky.social my vote to #GTTO but they need to work for Brexit reversal & say we need immigration to keep this country afloat.Or else I & many others will go back to @snp.org & fight for Indy, immigration, EU membership for Scotland not this Reform nonsense.

This is worrying.I have 3 elderly family members in Scottish care homes (various stages of dementia/alzheimers) & many of their carers are from overseas, providing great care & attention. They may not have degrees but are skilled & caring people.#Labour don’t be like Reform @chriskanemp.bsky.social

Very engaging interview with Britain’s former spy chief. Always good to hear from people who know what they are talking about and who have spent long careers on the ground. Comes across as clever, capable and modest bloke with a suitably dry humour too.

Well done #Canada on electing #MarkCarney as PM - and good on him for entering the political fray after a lifetime of excellent public service. A classy clever & competent man. Looking to seeing him dealing with Trump.

Sadly wilful misunderstanding and mistreatment of judges is not only happening in the US. Their job is literally to interpret, uphold and protect the laws of the land.

So a group of #UKSupremeCourt judges have clarified an unclear piece of law as they are obliged to do if a case is presented to them & now everyone who is unhappy with the decision is going full-on Trump about it.Give your heads a shake fgs. Due process is paramount as our US friends have shown.

Well they don’t have any MSPs in the #ScottishParliament so why on earth should they be invited ? In any case they are a bunch of populists a la Trump who we should all avoid like the plague.

"We've been really clear about farming standards. That's not up for negotiation in any deal with the US. And we've just passed landmark legislation on online safety. Children's safety is also not up for negotiation in these talks." Important words from the Chancellor in this interview. 1/2

The UK is in crisis after more than a decade of austerity. Starmer should learn from Carney and think big.

This is happening exactly as the US is trying to persuade the UK (and EU) that its food meets their standards and they should import a lot more of it.

Hopefully our immigration officials will deny him entry and send him homewards. Or maybe lawyers for the US people can ask us to detain him at ‘His Majesty’s pleasure’ as a person who has ignored the US Supreme Court?

The Trump administration does not have the UK’s best interests in mind, he wants to damage any #UK/EU reset & keep us dependent on the whims of the US government. Choose wisely Prime Minister #Starmer

It feels pointless for #Americans (& those of us elsewhere who remain well-disposed towards #USA & concerned) to point out what The Law or #TheConstitution says, as this lot in charge don’t care about that. You will need to find a way to make them pay attention but points of law are not it. Money?
