Indeed. It is misadvertising, but no doubt OK because that's freedom of speech or some such nonsense..

It's also the type of thing a 10 year old boy would come up with when playing with an action man and toy cars.

Such a twat.

A 26-year-old PwC consultant built AI agents to cut client headcount by 30%, only to get laid off himself.

This is the reality behind the hype. AI isn't fully replacing people yet, but it is downsizing teams, turning 10 workers into 7 who now need to spend their time reviewing LLM outputs.

AI is taking entry-level jobs. What happens when Gen-Z-ers can’t start their careers?

Are you by chance the same Emily Sheffield who was a former Conservative candidate and also the sister-in-law to David Cameron (ex Conservative PM)?

Surely you should think the readers should be told this?

Bioweapon defence mode?

What other car company thinks that their brand is so despised that they are worried about people using anthrax against their customers?

"The PM wanted today to talk about... benefits reform and the UK's relationship with the EU and about regulation, which were interesting in and of themselves, but all of the questions were about the pre-budget process."

A neat summary by Mason - but he led that questioning. ~AA #PoliticsLive

Ukraine has begun attacking Russian shadow fleet tankers in the Black Sea. Russia has now lost their ability to export oil through the Black Sea.

Our economic woes are caused by Brexit, (Ukraine), Covid, Brexit’s ugly baby - our dismal immigration policy, Truss budget, 14yrs of austerity…
All rightwing policies.
Quite mad that our media acts as if Labour’s budget is the end of days, when they failed to adequately scrutinise any of
that👆shit.

👏🏽"We must all now confront the reality that the Brexit deal significantly hurt our economy. We have to keep reducing frictions. We have to keep moving towards a closer relationship with the EU. And we have to be grown up about it. To accept that it will require trade-offs."👏🏽

Farage rarely turned up to vote when he was an MEP.

But, he did turn up to vote against the EU’s anti-Russia interference motion.

He said it was a “hoax”.

He voted against strengthening Europe’s defences against foreign interference.

Why?

The general position of journalists in that Starmer Q&A appeared to be: The economy has been doing better than expected and so the Chancellor did not have to increase income tax, breaking a manifesto pledge, as feared, therefore, THE CHANCELLOR MUST RESIGN. 😵‍💫
I find it interesting that every single TV political journalist opened with an editorialising comment, while all the newspaper ones just asked questions. I suspect, because the latter know the question won't be in the write-up, while the former are trying to craft a clip that is all about them. ~AA

Attacks will hurt Russia's ability to operate a shadow fleet. Western companies can't insure tankers that sell oil above price cap. Non western insurers don't want secondary sanctions so Russia obscures ownership. Attacks will scare insurers and Russia needs insurance to operate in ports/canals.

A Mirror probe shows that Nigel Farage has made £140,000 from the Cameo messaging platform - but spoken in Parliament just 22 times and mentioning his Clacton constituents on just three occasions.

I love that, while admitting Brexit was a failure, the Telegraph simultaneously warns of a "Labour plot to reverse it". Because "it was never about the economy", you see, but "about sovereignty, immigration and taking back control".

How are those aspects going, Telegraph? ~AA

Fog of war, but seems it was attacked, probably by a USV, in past few days.
