It is genuinely astounding to me that I haven’t seen a single journalist push back on this quote from Zia Yusuf, to remind him that the money he’s referring to is not his, or Reform’s, but the taxpayers.
BBC News: Student society bans Reform UK for ‘racism, transphobia and homophobia' Reform UK head of policy, Zia Yusuf, threatened to pull £30m of funding from the university under a Reform government, adding: "After all, they wouldn't want a racist's money would they?"

Tomorrow's episode of Bold Politics is so so rare in British politics: real people who are unafraid to just be themselves for an hour because they know they don't have to protect any vested interests.

It's time for a clearout of robots in Westminster.

This is the first time I've noticed that the robot in Otomo's version is holding its own head in its left hand, complete with eye sockets and speaker grilles on the left side. Before, I'd automatically projected Escher's narrative onto it without looking deeper. Crazy.

Yep!

So the more a country actually prosecutes corruption, the higher the perception of it is. So the worse their rankings.

This is why countries like the US and Canada, rampant with corruption, have good corruption ratings: we just legalize and accept it.

Zack Polanski has piled fresh pressure on Wes Streeting over Palantir’s NHS contracts

It comes after the Health Secretary’s newly-released text messages showed Peter Mandelson talking to him about meeting American tech companies

Something compelled me to make this
A screenshot of a mocked-up Guardian headline, which reads: "Ignore the smears: I was never the one who ate a full tub of Lurpack off the kitchen counter." The byline is: "My dog." And there's a picture of my dog, posing with a serious expression, like a journalist. She is a black labrador type dog with brown eyes, grey muzzle and shiny, silky fur on her face, wearing a pink collar. Underneath the headline continues: "Listen, I'm a good girl. I don't know how butter stealers thrive in our political culture, but it's clear there was a failure of moral seriousness." There's then a link to another article, headlined: "Footage of Lola eating the butter, which cost her owners £300, was captured on a dog cam." It's a parody of this article from Wes Streeting in the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2026/feb/09/peter-mandelson-wes-streeting-vetting-moral-seriousness

BREAKING: On February 2, Sec. Noem issued a memo asserting the lapse in appropriations for DHS meant there is no Sec. 527 — the provision protecting congressional oversight visits to immigration detention facilities — and she was issuing a new (third) policy requiring seven-day notice for visits.
Case 1:25-cv-02463-JMC Document 55-1 Filed 02/09/26 Page 2 of 2 Secretary U.S. Department of Homeland Security Washington, DC 20528 DEPARTMEN Homeland Security MEMORANDUM FOR: FROM: SUBJECT: February 2, 2026 Todd. M. Lyons Acting Director for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Rodney Scott Commissioner, U.S. Customs and Border Protection James H. Percival Il General Counsel Holly C. Mehringer Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Chief Financial Officer Kristi Noon at ar Secretary of Homelet Security Congressional Access to Alien Detention Facilities - Ratification of Access Policy and Use of Appropriations for Enforcement On January 8, 2026, I issued a new policy directing that requests by Members of Congress to visit an ICE facility be submitted at least seven days in advance of the visit.' On February 2, 2026, in Neguse v. ICE, a judge in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia temporarily enjoined DHS from enforcing that policy or otherwise requiring any plaintiff to provide advance notice before conducting oversight visits for a period of 14 days.? The court concluded that DHS's policy remains inconsistent with Section 527(b) of the Department's appropriation. It is odd that the court issued this decision given the appropriation containing Section 527(b) lapsed on January 31, 2026. As a result of the lapse, Section 527 is not currently in effect. Therefore, as of this date, I am issuing this new policy that is identical in substance to the January 8 access policy. The General Counsel will provide further guidance regarding the effective date of this policy in light of the court's order. ' This updated policy-issued as a result of the case against ICE-was directed to ICE. Neither CBP nor its policy has been involved in the case to date. In light of today's decision, however, I am also issuing that policy as to CBP. 2 Neguse v. ICE, No. 25-2463, Memorandum Op. at 9 (D.D.C. Feb. 2, 2026).

This post is going viral, but this isn't walking back. It's reiterating the initial press release. There's no new information in this post, aside from them saying they're using a different ID partner (which doesn't solve that problem) and the Reddit joke. Everything else is the same. Keep pushing.

Discord is already starting to walk things back a little, so people should keep doing what they're doing (cancel Nitro, leave feedback/criticism, direct contact through support tickets/phone/email/etc)
Tl;dr: The vast majority of adults will never have to interact with our age assurance systems and their experience won't change, because we know Discord and how people use it, so we're designing to respect privacy and deliver a safer experience while minimizing friction for adults. Hey folks – I’ve been on Discord since very early 2016 and actually joined the company in 2017. Safety is one of my areas, so today’s announcement on our blog is something I’ve been pretty involved with. I’ve always cared about Discord's approach to privacy (E2EE for A/V was another of my projects here), so I figured I’d add some more context to today's news. I can say confidently that the vast majority of people will never see age verification. I say this because we launched age assurance in the UK and Australia in 2025, and we have some pretty good data on this now. The idea here is that we can pre-identify most adults based on what we already know (not including your messages!), and that looks to get us pretty far here. No face scans, no IDs, for the vast majority of adults. And if you are one of the smaller subset of folks that we can't definitively pre-identify, then still, you only have to do it if you're accessing age-restricted servers or channels, or changing certain settings. That's really not most users. (Altho... might be more Redditors, tbh.) Last, I know that there is concern about privacy and data leaks. That's a real concern. The selfie system is built purely client-side, it never leaves your device, and we did that intentionally. That'll work for a bunch of users who aren't pre-identified as adults. But if you do end up in the ID bucket, then yeah, you're right that has some risk. We're doing what we can to minimize this by working with our range of partners (who are different partners than the data leak you read about), and if it's any help, we learned a lot internally from the last issue. But I get if that doesn't necessarily inspire more confidence. Anyway, we’ll be sharing more next month as we get closer to the global roll out about the system, including the technology behind it in March. I honestly wouldn't be happy if we didn't build something good and I am excited about what we’re launching, but please let us know what you think when we share more details. And I really appreciate everybody's feedback here today. We’re definitely reading it!

The internet is not a space inherently crafted for children and teens. Adults have to maintain the infrastructure and pay for the access to it. I'm extremely resentful of all the companies popping up saying that *I'm* the one who needs to prove that I should have access to the space I pay for.
