The only acceptable Keynesianism to the Labour right is military / weaponised Keynesianism. Impossible to harness state capacity for jobs & infrastructure in eg the NHS, council housing, social care or education. But loadsa cash to funnel to arms manufacturers to build munitions that'll gather dust

We are very close to having an genAI-developed game being played by a genAI player, and I wonder if anyone involved in this process ever stopped to wonder whether this is a good use of time and resources

Nothing can tell you more about the absolute disconnect between the political class and the rest of us than their insistence that Wes Streeting is the key to electoral success.
"SCOTTISH Labour MPS are privately calling for Wes Streeting to stand against Sir Keir Starmer before May to avoid a wipeout in the Holyrood election, The Telegraph can reveal.
"The Health Secretary’s allies are pushing for a “Wes coronation” to give Labour new energy in Scotland..."

Saudi Arabia has now remembered the efficacy of weaponizing the issue of palestine. And the UAE bet on the wrong horse when they became a conduit of israeli policy in the region, thinking that people wouldn't care what happens to Palestinians.
I hate having to check in on XTwitter but man the war between Saudi and UAE influencers and bots over there the last few days is something to behold. It’s wild. More soon.

"It doesn't get cold because the temperature goes down", basically
Keir Starmer has this morning urged Cabinet to keep its nerve amid grim opinion polling (today’s YouGov put Labour in third place behind Reform & Tories)
“Governments do not lose because polls go down. They lose when they lose belief or nerve. We will do neither,” he said

I agree with the government. Reacting and condemning Trump’s actions and behaviour is a waste of time. You can’t reason with a demented sadistic malignant narcissist. Thank goodness we have a sensible stable government in this country. I am so grateful for that. Be very careful what you wish for

The "funny" thing about the Labour government staying on the CSAM site is that it's extremely obvious why: They don't want to upset Trump or tech oligarchs.
But British pundits can't point this out for the same reasons and because they actively recommended Britain end up in this situation.

Not the most important thing. But this contract was - probably unlawfully - awarded without competition. But the Court of Appeal, under pressure from the Tories over our VIP lane judicial reviews, said there was no public interest in who Government awards contracts to so there can be no challenge.
Yet another huge contract, awarded without any competitive bidding process, to Wes Streeting's favourite NHS supplier, the Hard Right US surveillance tech specialists Palantir, for military decision making capability.
Palantir lands biggest ever UK defense deal
The £240 million contract with the Ministry of Defence has renewed a debate about Britain’s dependence on American technology.

No one is asking Wes Streeting to be a commentator.
Asking him to be a government minister when the whole world can see Trump breaking international law whilst threatening Greenland next, and the Cabinet (with Nigel Farage) seems perfectly fine with it.

Wes Streeting is asked if Trump has broken international law when it comes to Venezuela. Streeting says he's got nothing to add and he's not here to be a commentator.
I mean, which idiot thinks politicians should answer questions when they're being interviewed in a TV studio!

If you’re still on X because you think it’s “where the conversation is”, it isn’t.
Ofcom’s Online Nation Report 2025 shows X is no longer a mainstream platform in the UK. Fewer people use it, engagement is tiny, and harm is concentrated.
