I do not want my govenrment a party to this 'plan'.
🚨🚨"It is not a peace plan. It is a proposal that weakens Ukraine and divides America from Europe, preparing the way for a larger war in the future. In the meantime, it benefits unnamed Russian and American investors, at the expense of everyone else." Excellent piece by @anneapplebaum.bsky.social:

Reform is a party that says things that appeal to racists, fields racist candidates, fawns over racist world leaders, made a convicted racist guest of honour at their conference, and whose leader refuses to outright deny having racially abused people.
If only there were a word for such a party.

When are our leaders going to behave like the US isn't our ally anymore?
A quick run through of the Trump administration's proposal for a Ukraine security guarantee, which is a security guarantee in the same way that the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia is a party committed to liberalism and democracy. 🧵 x.com/BarakRavid/s...

I asked this a month ago and seems relevant today. Anyone with experience or knowledge want to actually discuss something?
I'd be interested to get peoples thoughts on increasing indefinite leave to remain from 5 to 10 years (not the other rubbish about volunteering). I've always felt 5 years was a short time but as I've never emigrated anywhere I have no experience to draw on.

I am quite happy to contribute a years worth of extra license fee to have the BBC call Trump his defamation threat. I don't care if they win or loose, I just know the only way to deal with a bully is to stand up to them.

Jade Leung worked for OpenAI from 2021 to 2023. You would expect her to have shares, worth a lot of money - which will get more valuable if OpenAI remains only lightly regulated.
Now she is the Prime Minister’s AI Adviser in No 10 - advising on AI regulation.
