He should go and live in Belarus or Russia - or even more preferable, North Korea.

Labour delivering on the economy, child protection and speeding up Windrush payments. It’s just in a week’s work for Labour only you don’t hear about it in the amplification of our Media for RW politics. This is what left wing politics means. Every day!

6. Windrush compensation scheme overhaul to deliver faster justice
7. 0.5% rise in retail sales on ONS measure, after City expected 0.2% fall in September.
8. Advances in science set to transform treatments for people living with dementia
9. British brands back free breakfast clubs
10. Major NHS update brings menopause into routine health checks
11. Greater protection for families and businesses in energy market
12. New bereavement and pregnancy protections consultations
13. Sex offenders to be denied parental responsibility for children born of rape
14. Ten year Uk gilt yield tumbles to 2025 low on below expectation inflation number
15. Government action to protect children from abusive parents
16. New funding will fast-track ground-breaking innovations such as drones delivering medicines in the Scottish islands to firefighters using AI to spot fire risks faster

Murder is wrong. Or are they calling it unaliving now to make it sound different?

I hope he's gone soon and a memorial rose garden is planted in the rubble.

Are those demolition contractors going to jail? When a mob boss orders a hit the button guy goes to the slammer too.

I agree because the anti-Farage motivation is key. Many more people than ever will vote tactically to keep this dangerous charlatan out. I voted for a Green councillor because of local issues, but in a General Election I will stick with Labour. There's too much at stake.

Yes, I remember that! The orange tub of lard with a Sharpie!

Good for him! Art is the expression of the human soul and the tech bros who think AI can steal it all and recombine it into something of value don't have souls.

The only truly ethical response that a self-described artist can make. Anything else is a betrayal of one's colleagues.

“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡

Trump never reads and would probably score pretty low. Has anyone ever seen him write anything apart from his Klan rally signature?
