It's 2029, and a Reform government has sworn in its first batch of politically appointed judges. Suddenly, the Labour Party remembers why jury trials mattered.

"Russia is an undefeatable juggernaut against which Ukraine could never hope to score victories. That's why it's imperative we limit Ukraine's military size so as to give Russia confidence Ukraine won't attack it."

If Labour wants to get all patriotic, don't piss around with migrants.
Introduce a patriot bill, where it requires all utility, transport and media owners to be based (and pay tax) in the UK.
Make the patriotic case that this country should control its own future and own its own free press.

Yes. Lots of startups are flogging AI tools for patent drafting. They do a great job of generating something that looks like a patent application. And tbf this is all some human patent drafters do. But that's the easy bit. The AI can't do the clever stuff—the bit that actually makes a difference.

I’m an avowed and unashamed AI sceptic (not especially controversial within my bsky bubble I guess) but look, at work they want us to use it, & I’m snowed under so fine, I try AI to generate a meeting report from my raw notes and… it’s utter garbage. Worse than useless. This can’t be the future.

I despair of Labour. Can we not just have a sensible budget, delivered on the day, that apologises for hard choices and then just gets on with giving us something that will give us some hope? All this briefing and speculation makes them look like clowns.
