UK politics live – latest updates
Decades-old racism is returning to British politics, and “it makes people feel very scared” Keir Starmer has said, warning that divisive hard-right politics was “tearing our country apart”.
Speaking to GP and TV personality Amir Khan, the prime minister accused Nigel Farage’s Reform UK of overseeing a return of the racist and divisive politics “that frankly I thought we had dealt with decades ago”. Continue reading...

Has anyone in the American progressive movement ever considered starting their own party instead of falling back on the one that has only screwed them over time and time again?! I'm not saying it won't be extremely difficult but I don't think this current strategy is working very well.

I reviewed Die My Love: which I found to be an observant and honest portrait of post natal depression and a need for stimulation through isolation brought to life by J Lawrence's tense and uncompromising performance.

the one person I knew who liked Keir Starmer ( a former work colleague) had the charisma of a rice cake so come to think of it it makes sense that he would vote for a man with even worse charisma.

He was probably walking away in disgust over the thought of his colleague being sick from external circumstances. If no one is as healthy as he supposedly is, he’s not worth his time

the meltdown from legacy media and others has been rabid considering none of his policies are even that radical (make NYC affordable) if you get down to it, his stance on Isreal has been fairly generous and I’m not sure how much he’ll get done since the top dems seem to not want what he’s proposing.

1) Sarah Paulson is easily the best thing about the show thus far is hardly in it.
2) 2014 called, it want's its girl boss pop feminism back!

A bunch of amoral music producers with zero creativity or soul and a limited capacity for wisdom have just made an extra hundred million bucks or more just for poisoning the market place with a chat bot that probably took less than 24 hours to make.

This is so bleak. Xania Monet is not a real person. This is an entirely ai generated artist with AI generated music that has millions of monthly listeners and music getting actual radio play and millions of listens.
It's digital blackface.

Elon Musk, "These lovely small towns in England, Scotland and Ireland, they've been living their lives quietly. They're like hobbits"
"And so one day, 1,000 people show up in your village of 500 and start raping the kids"
"This has now happened, God knows how many times in Britain"

Microsoft is now warning investors about the pushback against its massive data centers.
The tech giant's latest earnings reports says: “We also face community opposition, local moratoriums and hyper-local dissent that may impede or delay infrastructure development."

To be fair, I haven’t seen anyone argue for the return of lower budgets & terrible working conditions. Just that the show should be scaled back and be more simpler like it once was.Not have these grand end of the universe plotlines year after year.Not sure that translates to a return to shabbiness.
As Doctor Who’s budget is being discussed, there’s a persistent idea that it *should* be cheap like the original series, to allow for more creativity.
It’s worth reading the accounts of the creatives. Christine Rawlins was the costume designer for the 1970 series, and describes “blood and sweat”.

![Extract from interview of Christine Rawlins by Robbie Dunlop:
Christine shudders as she recalls one particular incident the day before the aliens were required on set.
"Looking at the script, I thought, 'My God, we're short of one astronaut. I sat up all night with a friend of mine making another costume. I can't remember what the circumstances were, or exactly what we did. I mean, we probably hadn't got another pair of gloves, and we probably hadn't got another helmet, but at least we had something to put somebody in, if necessary.
I remember the absolute panic. Thank goodness I had a friend to help me!"
She got to bed just two hours before she was due to get up for the next day's filming.
"I remember ringing [director] Michael
Ferguson about it. He was always quite calm.
He and Dougie Camfield [director of Inferno, Christine's last story] were lovely. I was quite close with those two because you could talk to them - they'd say, 'Don't worry about this and that? They were both very nice indeed. They saved my life!
"It was a fraught year, and a very busy year," she sighs.
"It all overlapped. When you were in the studio recording one story, you had to start the next one. It was blood and sweat. The turnaround was so quick. There never seemed to be time to do anything. It was chaos. I was very happy when it finished. It was wonderful when it stopped."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dubp6h5xex6vbthu7dtowmrt/bafkreie2ihml2m7biabr25qz5zljq5ejrfa34wzjddxnebourpnqisllqi@jpeg)
