UK must cap political donations to stop the rich buying influence. £100,000 cap won't end corruption. Only the rich can spare £100,000 to buy political parties, subvert public choices. Super rich can easily bypass limits by donations from multiple persons and companies. Must ban all donations.

Lets stop being ridiculous, Keir Starmer did not 'save' the Labour Party in 2024, in fact he got less votes than Corbyn ever did. He won in 2024 with a 'landslide' because nobody voted for the Conservatives who destroyed themselves with Truss, Johnson and Sunak.

AI for the masses but no doubt human private tutors for the mega rich. As if they don't have enough advantages in life already The AI bubble can't burst soon enough. End these pathetic cons packaged as ideas, most of us can see they're only really there to profit the tech billionaires 🤬

Keir Starmer announcing AI tutors for schoolchildren, and AI Jobseekers tools that will write CVs, How many millions/billions are we spending on this trash when we could actually be hiring more teachers and creating jobs to get the job done properly?
