The curious episode of the mass deportation bill that almost nobody noticed offers unflattering insights into our political culture. The Conservatives have had to retreat from an unprecedented approach that owed far too much to the spirit of Idi Amin

This is just straightforwardly false from Badenoch.

If the Lam amendment had been passed, it would have removed ILR (and made liable to deportation) from someone who arrived here on a work permit in 1971, got ILR in mid-70s, and claimed her pension in 2000.
Kemi Badenoch said today “No, we’re not being retrospective. When we put that amendment through, it was for a live Bill, so it wouldn’t have been retrospective. It was applied to a specific cohort,” she said.

“So she (Ms Lam) just stated it imprecisely”

Badenoch obvs wrong about what her bill said

The Liberal Democrats are proud to have stopped Nigel Farage’s attempt to pull Britain out of the ECHR, a move that would have torn up people’s rights and abandoned Churchill’s legacy.

This is good news.

Even if you add the total vote of the far right parties (Reform, Tories, Labour) together they are still less than the total vote for the Greens amongst 18-24s.
Young folk are so based!

A provocative theory was tested. Just as human cognition erodes through shallow social media content, artificial intelligence systems based on large language models were found to falter through exposure to the same data.

Findings from an experiment revealed that large language models can suffer “brain rot” when trained on viral online junk data.

They're all good players. Ekitike has had decent success. The other players TYPE don't seem to suit the way we want to play. Also, they would not have suited our title winning side either last season. We fundamentally have to change the way we play from the ground up to accomodate them. Bizarre.

When the Government ape the language and the rhetoric of the right - such as Starmers island of strangers speech - there are real life consequences.

Huge solidarity with @mothinali.bsky.social and everyone facing racism.

I voted against Nigel Farage's bill to pull the UK out of the European Convention of Human Rights.

Labour cowardly abstained.

From the Hillsborough families to the victims of John Worboys — the ECHR protects ordinary people from torture, discrimination & abuse of power.

Reform want to rip it up.

Decades after it originally released, and after multiple attempts across PS1 and PSP (totalling 100s of hours), I've FINALLY beaten Final Fantasy Tactics on Switch. One of my all time faves, I feel a bit empty now this is done. Simply magical.

Isak doesn't press well enough yet. They're all meant to be better footballers than Gakpo. For Liverpool, they're not so far at all. Gakpo plays on LW so shouldn't be the focal point - but he is because everyone else in attack bar Eki has been pap.
