I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"
Mr Burns begs to differ.
It couldn't be because we sold off all our infrastructure to the private sector, could it? Surely not!
"Don't strike or I'll withdraw healthcare from tomorrow's public" is pretty stupid even by Labour's standards.
So, they're blocking all students from these countries because... someone might arrive on a student visa and apply for asylum?
I don't see how that's such a terrible abuse.
This is why Wes Streeting's promises that the NHS data he is giving Palantir won't be misused are utterly meaningless.
Even Palantir says so.👇🏻
Not just selling; paying them to take it!
This is utterly jaw-dropping.
A school that bans Atwood, Zadie Smith, Terry effing Pratchett and *literal George Orwell* is actively harming its pupils.

I mean currency already acts as the capacitor that you're describing; you save (or borrow) money to pay for work to be carried out.
Like... currency?
Just being the leader of the party with the most seats doesn't make you prime minister, you also need to be able to command the confidence of the house.
So even if he couldn't have leadership removed, a vote of no confidence would still end his premiership.
Tax exiles stuck in London desperately trying to get *back* to Dubai to avoid becoming tax resident in the UK? Just great stuff. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...
Tjere is an exit clause, which involves paying them the unrecoverable costs they've already incurred... this is limited to no more than the total contract value, but the exact details are redacted.
There is only one way we will defeat Reform: together.
That’s why I’m backing the Greens in the Gorton and Denton by-election.
We are a mass movement of all ages, backgrounds and faiths — united in a belief that things can, and will, change.
Thing that gets to me with the Gorton and Denton by-election candidates is why isn’t the local plumber who cares about her community the absolute shoe-in to win the position? Why is a GB News talking head from Reform who wants to tax people for being childfree EVEN IN THE RUNNING?
I thought that was a tricky question, too... how can you know who else your grass-roots donors have sent money to?
The fact that the response to Hasan saying “I’ll vote third party over Gavin Newsom” is to try to harass/shame him into voting for Gavin (implicitly treating Gavin’s candidacy/views as inevitable) instead of saying “maybe we should change to convince him” is everything wrong with electoral politics.
Except regular money is backed by a state.
I wasn't aware of any new NHS contracts with Palantir since the FDP, can you give me the details?
The NHS contract for Palantir was settled under the Tory government (Defence under Labour). Streeting could have ended arrangement & not just because of what the company is. Plenty of NHS Trusts turned the system down because they already had better but Streeting still applied pressure to take it.
This isn't true, the contract was awarded in 2023. But it is concerning how enthusiastic Streeting has been in Palantir's continued involvement in the NHS.
Pressure building on govt to come clean about Mandelson's role in bringing US spy-tech firm Palantir into the heart of our NHS.
The fingerprints of Mandelson and his lobbying firm are all over these deals.
The rot goes to the heart of this Labour govt

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.
Oh, we do. Since her appointment Mary-Ann Stephenson has declined to recognise that trans women are women, has affirmed the hideous guidance drawn up by her predecessor, and has proven correct the two Select Committees who rejected her appointment because she was hopelessly out of her depth.
Presumably this is the same people who threatened The Stand comedy club with legal action for the same reason, and I note the fun irony that they are constantly trying to force themselves into places where they are not wanted, against the will of the people there.
I think the problem is that Bethesda have no incentive to work on Elder Scrolls VI, they can just release Skyrim for the millionth time.
A YouTube thumbnail featuring the Babylon 5 space station against a starry background. Large yellow and blue text reads "Previously on Babble On Season 1 Supercut." On the right, the Vorlon character Kosh is humorously edited to hold a red daiquiri with a green curly straw and a pink cocktail umbrella. In the bottom left is a cartoon mascot, a cockroach wearing a Darth Vader helmet and wielding a large grey arm cannon.
🚨 SUPERCUT ALERT 🚨
Every "Previously On" from Season 1 is now in one video!
Come for Gus trying to remember the plot, stay for my questionable clipart animation skills. 🖼️👽
It's chaotic. It's nerdy. It's finally here.
