The Starmer aide/AI stuff feels a bit canary/coalmine because this isn't letting electoral factors triumph over good governance or sinply doing something I don't like - things every government does - this is falling for a scam. There are people in Nunber 10 who are just idiots.

Anyway, this is also a major concern I have about the upcoming travails. Like, fundamentally, a government that has this attitude, that handled WFP how they did, is not one I can trust to protect the most vulnerable in society. (or, indeed, to actually win a war, if it comes to it)

The thing that gets me is that the PM and his circle clearly still think that they're absolute political geniuses, political giants who will remake this country for the better (and the [surviving] little folk will come round in the end, anyway).

One of the biggest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world just lost $1.4 billion (with a B) to a hack. This is 5x as much as the previous largest exchange hack in history.

A number of prominent UK Conservatives' statements about Donald Trump resemble one of those news stories that begins with a magazine feature about a new age mystic who believes he can talk to bears and ends with a newspaper article about a new age mystic being mauled to death by bears.

I mean, it's not even the biggest example of Reeves's, uh, tendency to exaggerate her intellectual achievements, given how she handled 'writing' her book.

Okay, it is very funny seeing the "how dare you attack the most qualified Chancellor ever!!" response to the BBC's reporting on... Rachel Reeves exaggerating her experience. (I mean, the story's over-egged - it's not even as bad as the war on newts - but man that's a terrible choice of Line)
