'No one can do anything about the food price spike that will come in autumn-winter 2026.'
“Two years earlier, [he] won re-election after hammering the high costs of eggs, bacon and other grocery store staples."
'Wouldn’t it be ironic if it was eggs, after all, that brought Trump tumbling down.'
Again, I'm not commenting on the scandal itself, because we're in a Pre-Election Period and I like my job, but I do note that the interviewer is sat next to the husband of the Foreign Secretary.
It seems very odd that everyone continues to pretend Ed Balls is just another interviewer/presenter.
The Isle of Man's assisted dying law offers a compassionate choice for terminally ill people, has huge public support, and was passed through a full democratic process. It's outrageous to block it at the 11th hour.
The idea that being *a member of the House of Lords* in any way means you can be trusted with Top Secret/STRAP material without proper vetting is so beyond absurd that this must surely be a joke?
Related to the UK's EU debate and in particular the national delusion that is exceptionalism like we're going to have the world's best regulations when we don't understand the world.
I know you have a lot on your plate right now @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social but this is desperately urgent. Please Please fix this before more lives are lost
Corporate capture of the state.
The Post Office with help from Fujitsu, accountants, lawyers illegally convicted postmasters for fraud.
£1.5bn+ compensation paid from public purse. Perpetrators paid ZERO.
No one charged/prosecuted for lying in courts. Fujitsu gets govt contracts.
Who governs?
I think that is inaccurate. What we've learned about Starmer in the last two years is he is prone to drift because he has no real ideology, nothing animating him, other than his own glory or preservation. I doubt he cares much about anything his government has done. He doesn't give that impression.
This is simply not true. Labour didn’t have to go right. They *chose* to go right. The big majority was a chance to reset everything back to sanity. Starmer chose the mad, bigoted, ignorant and dishonest route instead.

"Matthew Swindells, the trust’s chair from April 2022 to March 2026, not only previously worked with Palantir through the advisory firm Global Counsel but also chaired the company’s health advisory committee.
"Swindells returned to advising Palantir after the FDP was procured."
With Farage making a shed load of money from bitcoin and an assortment of weird companies, we’ve launched a map and live tracker of his income 👇🏻👇🏻
I’m so tired of this bigotry. And so tired of the British media for engaging in this relentless campaign against our trans family.
In a sane administration, the FBI Director doesn’t go on the morning news to prove he’s not a drunk, the Defense Secretary doesn’t quote Tarantino to prove he’s a man of God, and the President doesn’t take multiple cognitive exams to prove he’s not insane.
Putin has sailed 121 tankers off Britain’s coastline. None of them were seized

More than 120 sanctioned Russian tankers have sailed through UK waters since Sir Keir Starmer announced new powers…
strange these op-eds about women being too angry have all come out the last few days when during the same time there's also been a massive investigation published on an online rape academy with millions of viewers a month and none of them have bothered to even cover it, even as news
Opening text of a thread by Palantir from X Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software.
Palantir put out a 22-point summary of their CEO's book The Technological Republic. It's pitched as a defence of the West, but if you read it through the VDA framework, verification, deliberation, accountability, what it's actually doing looks rather different.

Reform UK is a private company, not a political party in the usual sense.
Richard Tice and Nigel Farage go on about 'benefit scroungers', resenting people who claim the benefits they are entitled to.
Reform’s owners appear to be millionaire tax dodgers - the worst scroungers out there.
Peter Thiel giving the world a lecture on far right politics is not something you expect from a company CEO who wants to take over our defence and NHS data management…
lol at the BBC using clips of Robert Jenrick off Laura Kuenssberg attacking Keir Starmer’s fitness for office with no mention of *his* past scandals or his boss’s bestie friendship with Epstein’s close mate
Extremely normal and fine for a company to put this in a public statement
Palantir put out the most cartoonishly evil statement possible. They’re so arrogant and self-confident they don’t seem to believe their fascistic plans can be opposed.
We must get rid of Palantir altogether.

Who’s a scrounger now? And on a far FAR bigger scale than most (all?) benefit scroungers.
I can see why Zahawi (another tax scrounger) and Tice are a fit.
And what about Farage’s Clacton house…oh…his girlfriend’s house. No idea where here money comes from given her “bad luck” with her companies
Dear Mr Tice,
On behalf of the entire UK, and given your relentless criticism of Angela Rayner’s ‘error’ that forced her resignation, please do follow those values of integrity that you hold so highly, and resign.
Yours sincerely,
The UK

This from the person responsible for implementing the Gambling Levy and regulating the space is quite something.
I’m working in the gambling harms space atm and I promise you there is scant joy to be found.

Someone has actually done this on Google 😂😂👏
Boris Johnson didn't pass vetting when Theresa May appointed him Foreign Secretary.
The media must have missed that one.
“Take a moment to think before you dive in. That’s the best advice for Google Photos users, as the company confirms its latest update can scan all your photos to “use actual images of you and your loved ones” in AI image generation.”

In the pantheon of political hilarity, I think Hegseth quoting Pulp Fiction instead of the Bible deserves a much higher place.
IMHO only beaten by the all-time GOAT, the Four Seasons Total Landscaping debacle -and the fact that "The FIFA Peace Prize" is a thing
