The book is called "Enshittification", by Cory Doctorow...

Hard to believe that Sue Gray would have allowed Starmer to appoint Mandelson (to anything). For someone who is basically honourable and so keen on 'the process' to allow himself to be dominated by political shysters is sad. He'd have won the election if I, or even Kemi, had been his election chief.

The world faces economic turmoil caused by Trump.

Climate change threatens the future of the planet.

Putin threatens European security.

The UK has extra problems caused by Brexit

Yet, British media & politics is obsessed about a stupid ambassador appointment 2 years ago…

I'm all for a greener automobility... 😉

If nothing else, the decision to sack Robbins, when he didn't need to, must rank as one of the most absurd acts of political self-harm any prime minister has yet committed. All of this eminently foreseeable.

When will Labour realise that Freedom of Movement is both necessary and brilliant?

Until that day, we're screwed.

I recently picked up a sealed boxset in a charity shop for a fiver... 👍

Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister are still on iPlayer if you'd like a surprisingly resilient insight into how this bollocks tends to play out.

Palantir in the NHS is linked to Mandelson

Mandelson is linked to Wes Streeting

Wes Streeting is defending Palantir’s involvement in the #NHS

Nothing to see or everything to see

Palantir must be removed from the NHS

It certainly woke me up...

The Daily Fail would have a heart attack…

Nigel Farage Has Personally Accepted £675,000 from Foreign Sources Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has accepted more than half a million pounds from foreign companies, governments, and donors while serving as an MP, DeSmog can reveal. Since July 2024, when he was elect...

“Farage rarely turns up to do his actual job. Yet he finds time to jet off around the world on his donor’s private plane and trouser half a million quid while families struggle. Reform are not on your side. They’re just in it for themselves”

It’s so obvious, it hurts.

Must be my age 😉 I recall clambering out of a Vauxhall Firenza Droopsnoot at Millbrook years ago & someone shouting over "It suits you, that!".

It was a proper thrill sitting behind the wheel of that Elite, though 👍

And I've got four Corgi ones now...

At the NEC in '24, I was talking to someone on the Lotus Elite/Eclat stand & mentioned that the Elite was one of my favourite 70s wedges, had the Corgi etc, whereupon I was offered a sit in the driver's seat - I gleefully jumped in like a big kid 😁

I reckon I could rock one of those... 👍

It can be hard to remember that there are actually some nice places in this country...

It's what it's all about... 👍

Tim Cook donated $1M to Trump’s inauguration.

He fawned over Trump and gifted him a 24-karat gold plaque (as Apple lobbied for tariff exemptions).

Apple donated to Trump’s White House ballroom.

And it removed ICE tracking apps from its stores following a demand from the DOJ.

Remember this.

Palantir’s deranged manifesto shows why it should be nowhere near our public services.

This is not a normal company, it's Trump's favourite tech firm and a danger to our NHS.

It’s not that these people still exist. That’s just biology. It’s that they are still being paid to shit in their own hands & start clapping.

I checked this too.

Totally.

Aesthetically, this new Merc can't hold a candle to the new i3...

Wait a minute, is this the same Richard Tice who repeatedly called for Angela Rayner to resign over her dubious tax shenanigans? Surely not, because that would make him look like a hypocritical wanker. Oh.
