"Generative AI has been automating jobs for several years now, despite repeated claims from execs that the technology is there to augment, not replace, workers... Janco writes that AI has been responsible for the eradication of many entry-level IT positions, especially those in telecoms." UBI NOW!

"This is a time of new forces in politics. The beneficiaries of this change, so far, have been the radical right... In Polanski’s campaign, we have, finally, to bottle these new winds into a political programme." Brilliant article by @meadwaj.bsky.social www.newstatesman.com/politics/202...

Starmer is showing just how divorced from reality he is. His cuts to PIP will actually prevent more disabled people from working. This is a fundamentally disastrous policy which will harm people. Any decent Labour MP needs to oppose it. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

..."fact that, on top of everything else - Palantir's NHS offer is just not very good does make one wonder about the source of Wes Streeting's enthusiasm for it. And why the hapless Keir Starmer was dragged along to endorse them by Peter Mandelson" - Jo Maugham open.substack.com/pub/democrac...

A reminder that not only are most migrants on settlement routes subjected to what is known as "no recourse to public funds", meaning no state support, the majority actually pay more into state finances than take out, on top of tens of thousands in visa costs, and the immigration health surcharge. 1/

Dear @erichfischer.bsky.social, Billions of economically unnecessary #bullshitjobs and datacenters full of financial nonsense are wasting most of our resources, energy and fossil fuels. Causing global warming and inflation. Please address root causes.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social Desmond should take a look at how the Swedish final '-g' in 'Thunberg' is pronounced, too. He'd love it.

27 more people have been killed in Gaza - whilst collecting aid. Our government will say sad words and make sad faces. Forget the words. Stop selling arms that are actively fueling a genocide.

Your regular reminder, a country which one person may feel safe in does not mean it is safe for everyone. Yes, claims in general need to be processed faster, but also fairly. This is a continuation of prioritising denial over protection, already shown to create more backlogs in appeals for one thing

Rather than making child sexual abuse an immigration or "race" issue. The Home Office, and media, needs to focus on it as a serious issue without conflation to race or immigration status, especially as majority of perpetrators are white British men. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

By betraying his voters so comprehensively and so soon, Keir Starmer has done us a favour. He has given us 4 years to design the government we want. In this week's column I explain how it can be done. There's massive potential, but we need to start now. 🧵 www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

In other words, he promised repeatedly during the campaign he had a secret plan to end the war in 24 hours and he was just bullshitting everyone because he doesn’t have the first clue what to do, he gave away all negotiating leverage months ago, and his special envoy is a dope.

The ultimate irony of halving net immigration numbers: You can do it without reducing small boats crossings at all!! This is Nigel Farage’s immigration doom-loop & Starmer is up to his neck in the death trap like the Tories before him 🤦‍♀️

Here's the last thing Pope Francis said about Universal Basic Income before he died. He described it as "strict justice" in light of unpaid care and also public investment in R&D and infrastructure. "Every fortune is the product of many people and many generations." UBI is our rightful inheritance.

If you're all about 'dirty jobs' and supporting those who do them, you should love unpaid care workers and support universal basic income to support them and their absolutely essential work. Full episode link: youtu.be/10HwqxRjB5Q?...

The first and only question anyone defending Labour's immigration plans needs to be asked is "what's next?" Once they have turned away migrants what is next? How will they fill shortages beyond press ganging people into jobs? #r4today 1/ www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I need you lads to understand that Europe has an average birth rate of about 1.4 No charismatic politician bothered to tell you how fucked that makes us. But as we get older, we need more care, more GP appointments… Without immigration we will have no pensions very quick.

I’m about to board my flight to El Salvador, where I hope to meet with senior government officials to discuss the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia. I also hope to see Kilmar and check on his condition — and remind him that we won’t stop fighting until he’s home.
