"Palantir CEO Alex Karp thinks his AI technology will lessen the power of 'highly educated, often female voters, who vote mostly Democrat' while increasing the power of working-class men."
Remind me again why Labour is shoving vast public contracts down its throat?
How on earth was this company awarded any contracts by UK government and why on earth have they not been kicked out?
Well they’ve lost me!
Such a dismal tale about the UK govt: so obsessed w competing with far-right to keep out foreigners that it won’t let in the brightest & best from war-torn countries even when they’re hand-picked by the FCDO, lest they ask to stay. Soft power sacrificed, but how many Reform voters will it convert?
Morrisons are advertising a whole chicken for £2.50. Imagine what a dreadful life that bird must have had to be produced so cheaply.
A few simple facts for any chronicly confused white men
UK demographics:
• White men = 43% of the UK population
FTSE 100 leadership:
• White men = 84% of executive directors
• White men = 62% of board members
Conclusion:
The idea that white men are excluded from leadership is pure fiction
Right I know this is shocking, but guess what? The Oxford Congestion Charge is seeing LESS congestion and MORE people taking the bus. Try this one simple trick etc etc.

We are a country of light and (very) dark animal stories: Black Beauty (a harder read than many will recall); Wind in the Willows and Beatrix Potter; Watership Down and Plague Dogs (gulp); Tarka (by a fascist) and Animal Farm (by an anti-Fascist); Kes.

Sorry, lost the final l!
Wonderfu!
What?!
We live in a profoundly stupid country.
Everyone else: "Ooh, great! Pictures of badgers, otters, foxes, hedgehogs, deer. Lovely!"

Definitely.
Mind: nine times out of ten when people complain about "red tape" throttling "small businesses", what they mean is that they don't think there should be consequences for transferring risk to other people if you can make money by doing so.
Not having a plan to demine Hormuz is a ‘no winter clothes to invade Russia’ level planning error
This is unnecessary and appallingly cruel.
Lost an apostrophe there - sorry!

Just a shout out to magnolias. Aren't they the most magnificent blooms?

This would really freak me out!
Get ready to be annoyed when petrol prizes go up and a) a bunch of politicos declare the government's poll ratings have gone down because Starmer didn't go in with the US on Iran and b) a bunch of politicos who support the war blame the government for increased energy costs.
Good morning. Today I’m considering printing a series of defunct political slogans on T-shirts. I mean *really* defunct. Old, but - in their moment - passionately felt.
“Give us back our eleven days“ type of thing.
😂
It’s being said a lot that the shadow of Iraq is hanging over Keir Starmer and the Labour Party during this Iran crisis.
It absolutely should. What’s remarkable is how little much of the British media and the rest of politics seem to be thinking about it at all, or learning its lessons.
'A Labour source said: “A slow handclap for those self-appointed strategic geniuses who ridicule Labour values and think we can afford to sacrifice our core vote by mimicking the performative cruelty of Suella Braverman.
“The dead end of McSweeneyism must be abandoned before it’s too late."'
Labour urged to listen to progressive voters or face ‘political earthquake’ in London
