This needs to be debated. If someone wants to change parties, fine. But they’re signing up for a different set of policies and values by doing so. It seems right that the constituency should get the chance to voice their opinion.
🚨NOW OVER 96,000 SIGNATURES!
The Petition for by-elections to be called automatically when MPs defect to another party is getting so close to the 100,000 needed.
KEEP GOING!

We missed a sitter.

We should have had a penalty,
We scored a lucky goal.
The team was much better with proper fullbacks.
Overall we should have won comfortably but baby steps…
I’ll take the win. #SaintsFC

The Pittsburgh Penguins used to have a live penguin mascot named Pete, on loan from the Pittsburgh Zoo.
He was fitted with tiny custom skates. When he died, he was stuffed and displayed in the team trophy case. He was replaced with another penguin, named Re-Pete.

I wonder how many US citizens understand the extent to which US power and prosperity is based on its current alliances and unswerving support from its allies?

The nub of the issue right there: geoblocking will only prevent image generation in the UK. The results of racist and CSAM image generation will still be entirely visible and UK subjects will be victims. Nowhere near good enough. @lizzicollinge.bsky.social how will UK legislation prevent this?
But this is a big gap, no? It will frustrate British users who want to commit this crime, but it won’t prevent British people from being the victim of it.

The creation of it (as opposed to sharing which is already illegal) is already in the legislation we're putting through and we're going as fast as possible to make sure all legislation is watertight.

"Complying to UK law" still allows you to create the same type of imagery. I was easily able to make a prompt from AI generated picture of a full dressed woman I uploaded to Grok to a woman bound, nearly fully naked, and bleeding in about 2 minutes, and I'm in the UK.
