#UBI
Undoubtedly Brilliant Idea
Another day with a stupid op-ed about how we shouldn't talk about UBI, and another day with yet more results that simply providing people with basic income is a positive good in and of itself, that reduces stress and substance abuse, and enables people to pursue their education and employment goals.

Hundreds of millions, perhaps billions, of people live on marginal land - steep slopes, flood plains etc - especially vulnerable to extreme weather

They are in the front line of climate breakdown - exposed, vulnerable, and life-threatened

When I read all the news about Trump and America, I occasionally think of this parody of American society.

Musik kommt aus dem Weißen Haus

The Lords is a massive problem. How can a supposedly advanced country still be maintaing a veritably feudal upper house where you can't get rid of members.

It's absolutely insane.
The government has:
1. Referred Mandelson to the police for investigation over leaking sensitive information while in government
2. Decided it *will* try to strip Mandelson of his peerage after all.

That’s both throwing him under the bus and then reversing to make sure in one fell swoop.

Chris Murphy names the harm plainly: ICE is inflicting trauma and violence—Minneapolis to Texas, block by block. Families terrorized. Communities destabilized. This happens by design and by funding. Congress can stop feeding it today. #FundHealthcareOverICE #Sheshed

Elon Musk’s flagship artificial intelligence chatbot, Grok, continues to generate sexualized images of people when users explicitly warn that the subjects do not consent.

In 17 tests, Grok generated images after being told they would be used to degrade the person.

Fully #Renationalise rail

That includes rolling stock companies (ROSCOs).
The Railways Bill is making its way through Parliament. But it’s missing 4 vital ingredients that would make it truly work for passengers, not private profiteers:

1 Bring Rolling Stock into public ownership
2 Lower fares
3 Re-opening closed lines
4 Listen to passengers and give them a voice.
1/2
Make sure your MP knows how the Railways Bill can delivers for passengers - email your MP
Invite your MP to learn more about how they can fight to make sure the Railways Bill delivers for passengers.
