Someone should point out to Jenrick in particular that most of the freedoms he thinks are protected by Magna Carta are in fact protected by ECHR and NOWHERE ELSE IN ENGLISH LAW
I’m so sorry but they’re all going on about Magna Carta again and it’s my job to tell you that unless you’re a baron, Magna Carta is NOT the source of any of your rights, it’s the Charter of the Forest you’ll be wanting for that, you’re welcome

“This is only the beginning” is a phrase that may have a meaning rather different to the one intended.
Oh God I needed this so much right now. Good old fashioned funny chaos and farce instead of constant depression in politics.
Looking forward to them setting up their own rival parties.

It does feel like half the stories in the UK press only make sense if you follow Enoch1488, a peadophile on twitter who they have decided is the voice of True Working Class Brits
At some point the media’s view of their jobs changed from holding politicians accountable to active scalp hunting over relatively nothing. They’re trying to use a relentless drum-beat of less than honest narrative creation to try and force resignations in a way they never did before.

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.

I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?
Execs are embracing AI more than their employees are, new research suggests
Research from HR software company Dayforce suggests that executives are leaning into AI far more than their employees.

2) This is performative cruelty and nothing else.

If we were only able to transport these "nostalgic UK residents" back 50 years, just for a day, they'd soon be screeching about their clothes being itchy and there being nothing to watch on TV and their butter not being spreadable and there being no online forums on which unload their fury
Ah the 1970s.

Stagflation, three day weeks, collapsing infrastructure. Civil War in Northern Ireland. In yer face racism and bigotry everywhere. Bin strikes. Strikes in general. Blackouts. Industrial decline. Wage inequality. Dog crap everywhere. And households spent 25% of their income on food.

Maybe Keir should demand the heads of major US news networks any time they imply Britain is on the brink of civil war or that we live under sharia law. Or does it not work both ways?
