The eternal conservative argument; “the country no longer resembles my memory of it from when I was a child and was obviously very knowledgeable about social, economic and geopolitical issues at the time”
Yeah assh*les from Monaco, who have dodged £4bn in tax and then bought football teams to run them terribly and dodge even more tax.
Jim Ratcliffe recently met Nigel Farage. Now he's saying that the UK has been colonised by immigrants.

Palantir were handed a £240m contract without bidding for it by the Government.
It simply shouldn't be legal for the Government to handout huge amounts of money to whoever they like without any oversight.
That's not democracy.

I know as a rape and sexual abuse survivor this all hits a bit differently for me, but this might be one of the most upsetting headlines I have ever read.
It's only if your worldview - like that of grooming gangs - is that girls from poorer families are just disposable playthings for the rich that this is all a hilarious joke.

I have a running joke where I know fuck all about art and say "the best artist is one who can make a painting look like a photo". This was something the Nazis genuinely pushed. It has direct links to generative AI now. They really are just hacks stealing a century-old act. An act that failed.

Against a corrupt, exhausted, unlucky Government, which under-estimated the threat from Reform, trying for its fifth General Election in a row, Morgan McSweeney delivered 33.7% of the vote. And he then made Starmer the most unpopular PM ever. That's the measure of the man's 'genius'.

That £240m contract Palantir won after Peter Mandelson took Keir Starmer to visit them? Government asserts "there were robust processes in place to ensure that government contracts are awarded fairly and transparently" but the award notice says it was a "directed award", ie without any competition.
