The 'Exceptional Hardship' role needs to be axed. Killing someone through dangerous driving is going to cause plenty of Exceptional Hardship to the families and friends of the people these dangerous drivers end up killing www.eveningnews24.co.uk/news/2494849...

1. A few years ago, people like me were widely attacked in the media for “declinism”. How could we fail to see that we were heading into a capitalist utopia, in which everything would keep getting better? This is a thread about what we could see that our critics could not. 🧵

If you know me, you know what I think of gen AI - it can automate some tasks and write decent code but can only ultimately rephrase the Internet. Yesterday I was (lazy/time-poor) so I tried Cerebras' Llama-3.1 interface. I think this is quite illustrative of gen AI chain-of-thought 🧵

My watch-through of Classic Who started with Tom Baker, but now we're back to the start. I think this may be Who's first spaceship?

The UK Government should be taking full advantage of the US's self-destructive policies by offering research opportunities and visa-waivers for scientists. Instead, we have a government making a pantomime out of deporting people.

I knew it. This isn’t the Labour party. Please, if you believe in social justice and want to fight the shift to the Right, please join and vote for @TheGreenParty 💚💚💚 .

1. Here are just a few of the ways in which Starmer’s Labour Party seems determined to alienate its voters and lose the next election. As they pile up, you have to keep pinching yourself and asking, “what the hell is it playing at?” 🧵

Another budget has been set. Birmingham has to make more cuts. We know that means fewer services for us, job losses for workers, losing more of our world famous culture and more assets sold off! Tell your councillor to speak up! Stop voting through the cuts! We need a moratorium!

In a crowded forks, I think Ed Milliband is my most despised Labour Cabinet member. He spent years plugging 'reasons to be cheerful' with positive, hopeful politics, and he is holding his nose with everything just for the ministerial box. At least Streeting wants to be doing what he's doing...

When people show you who they are, believe them… 🔴 We call on Bristol Labour to hold their own party to account. 🔴 Bristol is a city of sanctuary. There's no room for two Reform Parties. 🟢 Take a stand. 🟢 🟢 Real Hope. Real Change. 🟢
