There’s a good chance the British Prime Minister’s main adviser on AI is an OpenAI shareholder - but the government refuses to say whether she is.

So happy to see Jack's new piece out in the Big Issue! A great writer and a great laugh - I feel very lucky to have worked with him earlier this year. Have a read 👇
This November is both National Care Leavers Month and Trans Awareness Month. Jack shares his story of coming out while living in care.
I'm a trans care leaver. Being accepted for who I am was the best feeling in the world

Resurrecting this dormant account although I rarely feel like I have something interesting to say - this is more of a listening exercise in an echo chamber.

The Government’s plan to broadcast videos of immigration raids and deportations is cruel and plays right into the hands of reform. This is what Trump did in his first week, are we really using the same scaremongering tactics as that guy?!

Airport expansion is completely incompatible with the government's aim to be a climate leader. Aviation has no short-medium term solutions to its carbon footprint. The UK can't become part of Trump's big back-track on climate. 3/3 neweconomics.org/2025/01/airp...

I would argue that the last thing which is needed now is Western, or any other country 's interference in how Syrians create a system of governance which works for them. What Western nations do need to do though is ensure that they continue to provide asylum for those seeking it. 7/

Yes person on the internet Syrians are aware that everything isn’t perfect and that there are challenges ahead. I think they didn’t need you to tell them that given that it’s been 5 decades of tyranny and no country ever emerged from tyranny without challenges ahead.

This is a good step forward - too many have been made homeless by previous gov policy (remember the 7 days' notice anyone?) and still suffer the consequences.
56 days still aren't that long when you need to rebuild your life from scratch and find a job as well as a home - we can still ask for more.

MASSIVE WIN: Home Office increases the time refugees have before being evicted from accommodation from 28 to 56 days. With refugee homelessness at a record high, this is huge.
Alongside so many, we've been calling on the Govt. to extend the move-on period for years.

Child poverty is entirely preventable, but if we want to get rid of it, as a society we must accept that benefits are *a good thing*.
It's disheartening to see how many politicians still talk about people 'gaming the system' - the most vulnerable (inc kids) pay the price for this rhetoric.

A strong benefits system is the sign of a healthy society – and essential to ending child poverty
Child poverty is preventable – as a country we must do better for our children
The government must ensure that no UK child grows up in poverty, says the End Child Poverty Coalition. Here's how it can do that.

I feel like, with 1m+ new users a day, verification is going to be an issue on here. Not everyone has their own website/domain they can use, and it's still very easy to pretend to be someone else as people aren't used to checking handles. Or am I missing something?

As someone who works in comms, I tend to have a slightly different interest in watching the shift from Twitter to Bluesky than other people. One particularly interesting aspect is the focus on followers over engagement which some people seem to have. 1/
