Morally it seems wrong, sure, but I don't really think that credit card companies can play the moral card (nor did they here).
That said it (and similar cases) will be factored into overall costs, profit levels will be maintained so Joe Public pays. Kinda.

I could see the new babies of family members I didn't much care about. Lovely.
Then I started seeing their political memes, and I deleted my account.

She was found to have broken the ministerial code. Had to go.
Sure, it's nothing like the drastic levels of corruption in the last Tory government, but that doesn't absolve her, sadly.
I have no doubt she'll be back, and I hope it's in an even more senior position!

That I can't simply say to my phone: "where are the eggs?", and for it to know which supermarket I'm in and hence immediately report which aisle, is a clear indication that AI is nothing of the sort.

This property owner says: fantastic. There would be little better for our society than a drop in house prices of 50%.

PFI existed because Treasury created arbitrary rules and then followed then slavishly. That needs to change, but it's not looking likely.

The most important change must surely be to move care costs of the elderly and disabled from local to national government.
Then so much more of the local government budget will be for local services, thus hugely increasing accountability.

There's no universal standard for charging plugs. What chance a standard for battery mounting, given how structural this is?
I do think it's a great idea in principle, but there are just too many business reasons why implementation will be a horrible challenge.

Why does being made Home Secretary make decent people into monsters? I always saw Cooper as an incisive intellect who could still connect with the emotions of a situation. She appears to have lost the latter.

The country is run by elections, not polls.
Political parties do pay a lot of attention to polls; neither major party has decided that a remain position would net them extra votes.
I don't like it, and indeed often feel a stranger in my country based on these votes. But they are consistent.
