Today marks nine years since Jo Cox was assassinated by a far-right extremist, a terrible loss to those who knew and loved her and to politics. Zero lessons were learned though and the far-right continues to be pandered to. With more political assassinations in the US it all feels too familiar.

Cos the best way to defeat Farage is to agree with him about absolutely everything Tories proved this by running a 10 year experiment that left them polling at "functionally dead", while Reform are favourites to win the next election Top thinking, Blue Labour! www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Democrats seem at a loss for a punchy message that easily conveys how horrible Trump has been. How about "So far, Donald Trump has killed 300,000 people, mostly children, just so billionaires can pay less taxes"?

Everyone involved in trying to pass off that ChatGPT-extruded disinformation manifesto as a scientific report should be, at the very least, barred from public office for life. The MAHA report is dangerous criminal misconduct and an offence to the process of science.

Maurice Glasman says the Conservative Party has been destroyed and Labour will face the same fate unless it “moves into the space the conservatives vacated” Remind me, why are the Tories toast? Is it because they did what Labour’s doing now? Yes, precisely that. Fuck me. Are they actually thick?!

People wonder why I’m so angry at Labour. It’s because their kamikaze mission to appease the far right by being continuity Tory instead of the change they promised, is haemorrhaging support (obviously) and will result in Farage as PM. I mean, for fucks sake. Sort your shit out and stop it now 👇🏼

Channel 4 News has reported that Keir Starmer only took one broadcaster with him on his trip to Albania, guess who? GB News… What THE ACTUAL FUCK?! So they were the only broadcaster to see the Albanian PM pie him. Again, great call lads.

Incredibly depressing day. I've spent my entire life being told by British governments how dreadful immigration is. New Labour did it. The Coalition. The Brexiters. Now Starmer. All of them accusing the ones who came before them of failing to clamp down. The same old vacant mean-spirited bollocks.

Labour has a whopping great majority and four years left to turn this country around. They should be setting the agenda, not chasing about trying to placate voters of a party with five MPs who will never vote for them anyway. It's not only disappointing... it's embarrassing

This is an extraordinary case, where it would seem a lawyer used AI which in turn invented five fake cases, which were then cited in submissions. Never use AI to do legal research. Ever.

The problem with most machine-based random number generators is that they’re not TRULY random, so if you need genuine randomness it is sometimes necessary to link your code to an external random process like a physical noise source or the current rate of US tariffs on a given country.
