see i can't tell if this is because the uk government is fundamentally zionist that nothing would stop it sharing intelligence with israel or that what the americans are doing is somehow worse than israel's genocide.

Pretty much this.
Personally I'd be pleased to see BBC News disappear entirely. To argue, as many do, that British politics or our news environment would be so much worse without the BBC you have to explain why British politics and news environment is so very bad with the BBC.

I put in a freedom of information request for her register of interests, which would reveal if she owns OpenAI shares. The government refused to share it, claiming it contains ‘personal information’.
For context, the PM’s previous AI Adviser’s register of interests *was* published.

NEW: Rachel Reeves signals she intends to remove the two-child cap *in full*
"I don't think a child should be penalised because they're in a bigger family through no fault of their own," she tells BBC.

Nearly a year in having burned a ridiculous amount of political capital to uphold it, now they decide it’s actually time to remove it when they’re probably going to do all sorts of other tax hikes and cuts. Absolute genius

One of the main reasons why Britain can’t have nice things now is because we had to set them on fire, to protect the careers of some of the worst people ever to serve in government and the shower of media twunts who faithfully repeated their bullshit. And they’re still going, now.

The main reason this is even an option for right wing wackos is that we mutilated and deformed the fuck out of the BBC, specifically to protect Alastair and Tony from the consequences of their choices and actions. We’re still doing that now, 20+ years later.

i genuinely find it creepy. a disciplinarian, anti intellectual, sadistic (& often masochistic) impulse hiding behind calls for politeness & civility. politics is not the correct arena in which to exercise these impulses. it is hurting & even killing people who did not & often cannot consent

I was just thinking this poppy season has been less OTT than it has been in recent years, at least locally
Honestly I hear more jokes about poppy police than I see or hear people lamenting a lack of observation. Like the flags, it’s a handful of people maintaining public displays of poppies and our press are compelled to keep it alive, but it all feels so hollow.
