This is pretty naive as to how centralised much U.K. govt data now is When HMRC wants to double check your ID when logging on it will ask you for details from your passport or driving licence because guess what - it’s all linked up behind the scenes!

‘That’s why so many people…attach their personal sense of self-worth to climbing a hierarchy to the top of an organization that provides them with precisely zero intrinsic motivation. It’s a rat race to meaninglessness, but the wheel always beckons.’ open.substack.com/pub/briankla...

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.

Hope everyone in the UK remembers what Elon Musk is doing to the US government the next time Domminic Cummings writes a 30,000 word blog post on his plan to replace all the "NPCs" in Whitehall with 19 year old Nazi superforecasters.

Musk, Trump and Vance's blatant treason shows they have no intention of allowing voters to remove them from power, because the risk of prosecution would be far too high. They will seek to establish a dictatorship before the 2026 mid-term elections.

BBC News on hour reporting straight that Trump has got rid of military chiefs because ‘they’re too mired in woke culture’ 🤯🤯🤯 Traditional liberal democratic media still hasn’t learned how to report on authoritarians, even now when it’s almost too late

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

I'd guess this "offer" came with some serious, undisclosed threats too. Probably personally to Ze and broadly to Ukraine's future. This is not a negotiation, but extortion.

It’s easy to be loud and proud during the campaign, when you’re convinced there’s no way Trump will win again. When it counts the most, though…is when he’s back in power, is unleashed and you’re scared. Don’t you dare go quiet now. This is when your nation and fellow citizens, need you the most.
