Miserable old git, happily married, live in Leicestershire, worry about the environment, despise the Tories and that arsehole Farage.

This is overt racism. Full stop. There’s no ‘misinterpretation’ and no excuse. This is who he is, who he’s always been, and why he should never be anywhere near power again. And there’s a reason the tapes from The Apprentice have never been released.

67% of Reform MPs have previously been elected as representatives of the Conservative Party. They broke the country last time; do you trust them to fix it?

I write in today's @irishexaminer.bsky.social about the laws that are broken when online AI platforms facilitate the production of child sex abuse material. No new laws are needed. Companies (and their executives) are accountable as well as users.

Ireland could prosecute Twitter/X for AI 'child porn' deepfakes
The horrific child sex abuse material produced every day by Grok is already banned under Irish law. The real test is if we are ready to enforce that law against large tech companies

In 1887, British forces kidnapped & exiled the King of Opobo in today’s Nigeria. British Palm oil traders had persuaded the government that the tariffs he imposed restricted their profits. It was a milestone in the Scramble for Africa and indirect rule by Britain.

There is, to my mind, no justification for the continued use by the UK Government of X as a platform for official comms. There hasn't been for some time, in fact, but if the latest developments around AI-generated image abuse and CSAM don't change the policy I really don't know what will.

If Brexit is the reason for Rachel Reeves' tax rises and attacks on pensions, she can fix it by applying to #RejoinEU rather than continuing the #Brexit carnage. I will not support Labour a second time, even if it means handing Britain to NF.

Reeves considers adding 1p to basic rate or raising higher or additional tax rates.
There must be no tax rise for the bottom 50%.
Must tax dividends & capital gains at same rate as wages, restrict tax relief on pension contributions to basic rate only.
HMRC hasn't collected over £500bn since 2010
