AI Isn’t Lightening Workloads. It’s Making Them More Intense. The technology is increasing the speed, density and complexity of work rather than reducing it, a new analysis of 164,000 people’s work activity shows.

AI is increasing the intensity of work rather than reducing it, according to one of the biggest studies of AI’s effects on work habits to date.

Women receiving worse treatment for back pain – UK study ‘Male by default’ clinical guidelines do not acknowledge sex-based differences, says Lancashire University research Women are receiving worse treatment for back and neck pain because their experiences are not factored into “male by default” clinical guidelines in the UK, research has found. The NHS fails to acknowledge sex-specific considerations such as pain being more common among women in its model of care for non-surgical management of chronic neck and back pain, according to research from the University of Lancashire.

Instead of spending $1 billion a day on the War in Iran, we could use that to invest in the American people, not more endless wars.

Taco on Iran will come too late for Trump The US president has already done lasting damage to international trust in America

Financial Times brutal on Trump:
"We can safely assume that Iran’s pain threshold is higher than his. Trump will nevertheless present his exit as a victory. Iran will have every incentive to ensure nobody believes him...the crux of his self-inflicted dilemma".

Kemi Badenoch and Nigel Farage want Britain to blindly follow Trump into this illegal war, even though the President has no plan for what comes next.

There is nothing patriotic about outsourcing Britain’s foreign policy to Donald Trump.

Holy shit, DOJ posted the missing Epstein files containing the sexual assault allegations from one of the victims, who was a teen at the time.

The allegations were against BOTH trump and Epstein.

Obama: "We are living in a time where it can be hard to hope. Each day we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions. Another setback to the idea of the rule of law ... but this man - Rev. Jesse Jackson - inspires us to take a harder path ... bc if we don't step up, nobody else will"

All I can think about is Jeff Bezos saying that he slashed jobs at the Washington Post — including those of foreign correspondents in the Middle East — based on "the data," and a few weeks later a whole war breaks out in the Middle East that these laid off folks would have covered as true experts.

A useful record of Farage’s failure and his inability to cope with it. A cheat and a very bad loser who would happily trash democracy to get the result he wants. And then remove our rights to stop us holding him to account.
Such a corrupt, egomaniacal liar should have no hope of getting power.

Sam Altman, like many tech oligarchs, has proven that he cares only about making more billions and exerting control over humanity without regard for human rights and civil liberties. They are soulless people who will destroy us if we let them.

In case you missed it, I'll be introducing articles of impeachment against Pam Bondi.

She's obstructing justice, weaponizing the DOJ against Trump's political enemies, and breaking the law. It's time she's held accountable.

Israel responsible for two-thirds of record 129 press killings in 2025, says CPJ Committee to Protect Journalists report says Israel also to blame for 81% of ‘intentionally targeted’ journalist killings * The deadly toll on journalists in the Gaza war A record 129 journalists and media workers were killed in the course of their work in 2025, two-thirds of them by Israeli forces, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ). It was the second consecutive year in which killings of members of the press reached unprecedented levels, and the second year running in which Israel was responsible for roughly two-thirds of the total, the New York-based independent organisation, which documents attacks on journalists worldwide, said in its annual report published on Wednesday.

A report on the ongoing problems at Royal Mail.

As a country why do we allow key infrastructure & services to be plundered by billionaires motivated by greed, not by what's best for the UK.

The solution here is simple. Renationalise, just like Starmer promised he'd do back in 2020.

Measles was wiped out in the U.S. 25 years ago and now we’re already past 1,000 cases in February because vaccination rates dropped below the safety line. This is what happens when public health gets gutted and people stop trusting basic science.

Donald Trump's tariffs were ILLEGAL from day one.

Enough is enough. Trump took hard-earned money from the pockets of working families and the American people. Time to pay up.
