In the 1951 general election Alf, Lord Dubs campaigned in Holborn & St Pancras. Seventy-five years later he’s back to campaign for Sagal!

If the argument for *joining* the EU is just "Brexit hasn't worked", it will fail. This time a positive case has to be articulated. Forcefully.

Always worth a revisit to this, god knows we need a laugh right?

While we await the annihilation of humanity by AI, I am low-level worried that my washing machine has started messaging to scold me for my unacceptable detergent conduct.

Completely - not a moment too soon!
Delighted govt going further to protect children online & blocking taking & sharing of nude images of children. There's still danger tech companies will push back & find sympathetic ears in US. We need to work with European partners to strengthen our hand and protect children.

Worth noting that England is now also outperforming Northern Ireland with its grammar schools, which use to get similar results.

Comprehensive education works!

Tice is an idiot. One thousand people dead in two months from extreme hot weather and he says - enjoy it. One hundred thousand will die in Europe this summer. Tice says see the positives….. He lives in a bubble disconnected from ordinary people and their reality.

Instead of discussing how we can allegedly earn tax revenues by doubling down on the fossil economy, how about we discuss how to tax BP's windfall profits to help fund the energy transition instead?

Thanks for the advice though.

National Data Guardian reprimands @nhsengland.bsky.social for not disclosing that Palantir staff can access identifiable patient data.

On the Health Committee we've asked for numbers: how many Palantir/other contractors' staff have access?

NHS must clarify without delay to maintain trust.
