I’m told Labour MPs have been told by whips to *abstain* in the vote on Nigel Farage’s ten-min rule bill on leaving the ECHR, which has left some furious. Whips’ arguments seems to be to just ignore it. Labour MPs worry it leaves Lib Dems/Greens looking like only they care on this.

So many people don't realise this...
Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Press: "Can you just explain when you two first got to know each other?"

I used to think clever people were those to whom I would listen to and emerge confused. Their confidence, dazzling range of reference and use of obscure vocabulary was designed to (and did) impress me. The impenetrable nature of their thought meant they dwelt above us all /2

Every other national party leader was interviewed by Laura Kunesberg during their conference.

Maybe the BBC thought as someone who also supports Palestine - I had nothing to say?

BlackRock will buy AES, one of the largest publicly traded utility companies in the U.S.

AES is a major power provider for Big Tech companies building out data centers.

Yes: while these data centers drive up your electricity costs, wealthy financiers are going to make a killing.

So, Sunday Times runs with latest poll showing Farage winning if there was an election now. But makes NO mention of Reform’s collusion with Russia. And this is how democracy gets beaten to death in the dark. Voters are not being told the truth. Reform is given the stage but is NEVER held to account.

Keir Starmer's aides are reportedly telling him not to go to the COP30 climate conference, because Reform would attack him for it.
Yes, they might.
And he should wear it as a badge of honour.

Interesting discussion on political funding at Lib Dem conference.

He cannot designate an idea as a terrorist group.

There is no org called ANTIFA. There is no leadership or funding path or no membership. Also there is no terrorism law in America. Ask Luigi.

He wants to call anyone a terrorist. That’s Fascism.
