Someone tell Bari about the Streisand effect

“As the airplane took off, Epstein started touching me forcibly in between my legs, and I freaked out. I realized, this is not a modeling opportunity, I've been kidnapped. They whisked me away to the island. I was stuck there. They never arranged any modeling opportunities, I was completely conned."

You've appointed Tories to your top team. Why should people believe your party is any different?
Farage: "These were two people who were ministers, but frankly weren't ministers for very long".
Suella Braverman was a minister for over 4 years.
Robert Jenrick was a minister for almost 5 years.

I’m in Westminster where Nigel Farage is about to unveil his ‘shadow cabinet’ and the decor is slightly bonkers. Looks like he’s going to launch a Simon Cowell-era boyband instead.

Utter stupidity these last ten years ..
"Both sides in alignment" will considerably ease trade.BUT you will never get "frictionless trade" across borders unless ..the ONLY way ..both sides (buyer & seller) operate under mutually recognised legal oversight & authority..
with common external tariffs.

Just gave a talk to a group of sixth formers from a state school in Shropshire. Many questions asked, along the lines of: will the UK rejoin? How can I work for the EU? etc. These young people had their future stolen from them by Brexit, and they want that future back. 💪

This person does not understand the idea of a counterfactual. It's not true that the '4%' imagines a Britain that 'avoided every global shock, and followed a perfectly smooth pre-2016 trend forever.' It judges that on average, in all scenarios, shock or no shock, we'd eventually be 4% poorer.
A desperate Keir Starmer will argue anything to save himself including that Brexit cost us 4% and in the process will diminish our sovereignty.

So when thousands of women (and children) were being duplicated--including in non-consensual AI porn--it was no big deal. But it took "only a 15-sec clip" of these two famous white men to draw outrage and fear. Gotcha. Cool cool.
It took only a 15-second clip of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt duking it out on a crumbling rooftop — made by A.I. with a two-sentence prompt and the click of a button — to draw swift outrage, and sizable fear, from Hollywood.
"It’s nothing short of terrifying," one scriptwriter said.

A 15-second clip created by an artificial intelligence tool owned by the Chinese technology company ByteDance appears more cinematic than anything so far.
