A politician partying on a billionaires yacht, is not going to benefit the people of their country, but they will be expected to do favours for the billionaire. That's true for Reform, Conservatives or in this case Labour. It's wrong. Good riddance (again) Mandelsson.

Just heard an AI ethicist talk about how important it is that we say ‘MEN are using Grok to undress images of babies, children and women’ not ‘Grok is….’. Grok isn’t responsible for the action, the men enabling & using it for this repulsive purpose are. Small but important bit of linguistic accuracy

Analysis from @positivemoneyuk.bsky.social has found that the big 4 UK banks made £24.1 billion in just six months this year. That's nearly £1 billion every week from higher interest rates: they're just sitting there letting huge profits roll in from our higher mortgages and rents.
