They seem to think this is somehow free money that won't have any impact on the sector. It is either they don't understand the impact that it will have, or they do understand but don't care. I'm not sure which is worse, but I guess the effect of the policy doesn't change based on the reason for it

"Surely causing Swansea's economy to collapse will cause all the local far right and everyone else to vote Labour" said absolutely no one ever until Reeves and Lord Glasman, apparently.

Still reeling from the Stanford report on Brexit. Reduced GDP by up to 8% and investment by as much as 18%. The UK Treasury would have £40 billion more each year if Britain had remained in the EU. Devastating self-immolation.

this is like when that screenwriter asked AI to write a screenplay, and all it did was ask him for more time to complete it. Took a while before he figured out that it wasn't a complex task; "need more time" was the predicted response to "write a screenplay"

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

While it feels like I'm repeatedly slamming my head against a brick wall repeating this massively simple concept. Saying "Reform would be worse" doesn't make what Labour is doing better. Labour is now the most anti-immigration, anti-any marginalised group, government we have seen in decades. 1/
Very long thread: As with many of Labour's anti-immigration policies, this isn't new. British police have been stationed in other countries for this purpose for a long time
It does however show how Labour is pushing more on anti-immigration than previous governments. 1/

BREAKING: The UK’s response to Covid was “too little, too late”, a damning official report on the handling of the pandemic has concluded, saying the introduction of a lockdown even a week earlier than happened could have saved more than 20,000 lives.

Fox guest on how to save money during the holidays:
"Remember, adults don't need gifts. Focus on the people in your life who are aged 3 to 18. Grandma doesn't need slippers. If they don't live by you, don't get them a gift."
