New thing to feel mildly patriotic about unlocked
on the other hand UK supermarkets are *so much* better than US ones at this point. Just night and day in terms of quality, range, accessibility, and price.

Fundamentally the Labour Party is like the Catholic Church. You can stop turning up and paying your dues, you can change the entirety of your belief system, but on a deep spiritual level, you can never truly leave the Labour Party

Why does Zarah Sultana screenshot her own tweets from X Dot Com and then types in what she said in the screenshot in BSky Dot App?
And all this without Alt Text, mind you.

This is all on iPlayer. I highly recommend that people watch since it shows aspects of the Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe story that wasn't necessary apparent even at the time. I don't expect people to have the same response that I had but I do hope people do understand why I can get emotional about this

Except you have, Torsten.
Rail electrification has been slashed to nought because it’s “too expensive” … all while the Chancellor wastes £3bn on the fuel duty freeze - which is ~ twice the cost of completing the MML electrification programme.

We’ve refused to copy previous chancellors who’ve responded to any bad fiscal news by slashing public investment - cancelling infrastructure = taking easiest short term political decision with worst long term economic consequences.

Naming someone the “Mom and Pop Czar” makes me laugh. Maybe in their spare time, they can get my teenager to clean her room.
Soon small businesses won’t have to wait for Small Business Saturday to get attention from their Mayor.
Some changes that they can look forward to:

Honestly it's funny that he is *quite literally* saying "deregulate and reduce the burden of taxation on business to create jobs" and nobody on the left will criticise him. Good.

part of the reason i am genuinely irritated with the gAI/AGI cult is because there is real societal benefits in using ML techniques in medical care + weather analysis, and instead people get annoyed with anything that gets lumped in with the plagiarism machine

I will confess to being one of those people (but never to being an American)
I know I’ve said this before but I keep finding it very funny seeing people (mostly Americans) reacting to all this by saying “Wow Zarah Sultana needs to get out of that toxic party and join the Greens”, like saying Keith Richards needed to escape the Rolling Stones because they had a drug problem
Chaos has engulfed the first 24 hours of the inaugural 'Your Party' conference in Liverpool, with Zarah Sultana boycotting the first day of the event, Jeremy Corbyn facing "witch-hunt" allegations, and an entryism row
