Can’t believe my organizational philosophy of just putting stuff wherever and hoping I will find it when I need it has betrayed me, again. Unbelievable

All those ‘journalists’, political commentators and pundits; justify this. With all the media choice at his feet, why did Starmer only take the most racist, bigoted, conspiracy driven ‘news’ channel with him?

Keir Starmer forced his MPs to postpone the #CANBill debate until 11th July. Insiders say Government plans to conveniently find something else to discuss on 11th. This is totally unacceptable. What could be more important? Please help—details below👇

I cycled across London to an event this morning, and the many cycle superhighways were all delightfully full of cyclists whizzing (at various speeds, but all faster than the cars) past the car traffic. Londoners clearly want to cycle and it works... more cycle infrastructure, please!

Yvette Cooper repeatedly refused to give a straight answer just now on Today to straight Q “Will councils get more money to pay care workers more?” She repeatedly committed to higher carer pay but wouldn’t commit to money so councils can fund it. Think that speaks volumes about the mess we are in.

After due consideration, having weighed up the relevant evidence, assessed the balance of arguments and gamed the likely implications, I have reached the conclusion that Keir Starmer can fuck off from a great height.

WTAF!!?? Is she drunk? My partners mother is in a care home. 99% of the staff are from overseas. And do a fantastic job that no-one else wants to do. It would/will close down without them. More half-baked insanity from Labour.

When Zack Polanski pointed out that we won't see another left wing Labour leader because of the influx of right-wing Labour MPs it's worth remembering that Starmer has doubled the nominations threshold for candidates as well. @zackpolanski.bsky.social labourlist.org/2021/09/labo...

Reports that Labour may scrap the Digital Services Tax to secure a trade deal with Trump are deeply concerning. I’m urging the govt to guarantee MPs get a vote on any such deal. MPs must have a say in decisions that affect our digital economy and ability to tax corporate giants.

Hard to believe how lame some of this stuff is. I'm not sure it's even AI's fault for once... Did Starmer purge everyone with a sense of humour as well of all of the lefties?

We are starting to see some of these folks arrive in college, and they are failing classes that prohibit AI (and yes, we can do that effectively — It is called hand-written exams). Our job as teachers is to teach, not take the easy road and pass those who aren’t learning.

FUN FACT: Since 2019, Nigel Farage's Reform has taken more than £2.3 MILLION from oil and gas interests - making up an astonishing 92% of the party's donations. Reform are NOT for ordinary people. They're in the pockets of the big oil lobby.

Pathetic. Labour are just going to write policy for Reform voters going forward. The idea that even voting for unbelievably minor but necessary changes like this could lose MPs the whip beggars belief.

The vast fire on #Dartmoor should alert us to the ecological disaster there. This should not be a fire-prone landscape. Were it not for the elimination of trees by grazing, the vegetation type on the high moor would be temperate rainforest, which is extremely hard to burn. But only specks remain.

We urgently need a company law regulator. A body tasked with standing up for people, employees, taxpayers, & the environment — not just the rich & powerful. A party for this would win huge support, & £6 bn in tax revenue. Prof Richard Murphy reports
