It feels like we are on a path where in a few years, "this product was made without any use of AI," will command a premium. Sort of like high end, hand-made products vs. cheap, mass-manufactured products now.

"If Mandelson's links to Jeffrey Epstein disqualifies him from holding power, why does the company controlled by Epstein's business partner and co-owner retain access to the UK's most sensitive national security infrastructure?"

This is an excellent question for @thetimes.com. What would be the threshold racism had to cross for you to recognize it as racism, and not as “racism”?
Hey @thetimes.com what is ’racism’ - surely depicting the Obamas as monkeys is just old fashioned racism?

If Mandelson is being investigated for his Epstein connections, he must also be investigated for his Thiel connections, because they ran a joint fund when Mandelson fixed Starmer's visit to Palantir

Peter Thiel has been open about this for a long time. Trump is a way to break the republic, which can then be replaced by “free economic zones” with oligarchs as dictators and tech as a taskmaster for helpless humans without any rights. (1/2)

It might sound silly, but I mean it: The easiest and most potent way for Europe to hurt Trump this year is to once again use its cultural soft power and to threaten a boycott of the World Cup. It would become a completely meaningless event and would hurt him where he is most vulnerable - his vanity.

We had four days without water. We appear to be due no compensation as SE Water have blamed it on "storm damage" for a storm that barely registered in this part of the country. This is a get-out clause to cover for an appallingly-run company. Bring it back into public ownership.
Thousands left without water in the middle of winter in the UK. And those same people are now facing a massive bill hike.
Privatised water is a scam.
I've written to the Prime Minister asking why he won't end this rip off and bring failing South East Water into public hands.

This is the insanity of the current Labour approach. You are kneecapping the economy by slashing immigration to appease voters who hover between Tory and Reform, and yet they don’t even believe your numbers anyway…plus you’ve just alienated your actual supporters
Two-thirds of UK voters wrongly think immigration is rising, poll finds.
Net migration to the UK fell by more than two-thirds to a post-pandemic low in the year ending June 2025, but 67% of the people polled thought it had increased

Starmer and Farage both drape themselves in flags but once again it's really clear where their loyalty really is.
It's Trump first. They will always be on the side of the super rich and powerful - no matter how heinous the crime.
This is not patriotism. It's subservience.

I’m just going to tell the story. Back in 2000 I was volunteering for the Gore campaign when he came along with Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Alfre Woodard and Dule Hill to a GOTV event here in MN. He ended up sitting down across from me stuffing his envelopes.
