I don’t understand why some commentators seem to think Badenoch is doing well as leader, when everything I see her do fits exactly this description. Sorry, she just comes across as very stupid

Badenoch represents double-down conservatism. Never apologise or moderate. Insult your opponents. Patronise journalists when challenged. Contradict yourself, lie, whatever it takes, but never back down. And that's how you end up creating an extremely avoidable Tory antisemitism scandal overnight

Well that's a vote of confidence for all Tory councillors.

This is a new view of the bulldozed White House complex. The criminal monstrosity subhuman filth won’t stop until he destroys everything, makes me sick to my stomach.

And 25% of voters would put these ridiculous moneyed fools in charge of the govt and treasury, would they? How many investigations into Reform’s dodgy finances are there now? I’ve lost count. And no, it’s not an ‘establishment’ plot. It’s just what happens when corruption/incompetence meets scrutiny

BREAKING: Parliamentary standards commissioner is now investigating Reform UK’s Deputy Leader Richard Tice (as well as its paused investigation into Nigel Farage). Tice is being investigated for allegedly failing to declare a financial interest.

this guy doesnt realize plenty of us have never even touched chatgpt or claude??

I've used Claude a few times because my boss felt it was important to know a little about it. So I picked a few things I was having a hard time figuring out. In both cases it wasn't even REMOTELY helpful, and instead was just hours of frustration and wasted time.

They need to hammer down relentlessly on this. They can't become overconfident, like they did with Hillary in 2016.

If we’re building the next 250 years as an America NOT littered with data centers, a constant flow of money to the wealthy, and a government mired in pedophilia — then we have to examine the last 250 years with a fine tooth comb.

Same. I never trust anyone who tries to buy an election. Whether it's billionaires who run, or those who run on Foreign & Dark Money PAC dollars. $50M on ads, some deceptive (falsely implying Obama & UAW endorsed her👀), dirty tricks (fake AES flyers touting GOP alliance), racism & Islamophobia.

This is misleading. If you say the Rhine’ s “water levels drop to lowest level since 1880,” that implies that the river was this dry in 1880. But 1880 is just when we started keeping records! So what you need to say is: the river is at its lowest level since records began.

- We believe in second chances! - So you think refugees deserve a second chance at making a life? - Not like that - Young people who’ve made mistakes shouldn’t be punished? - Nope - Benefits to help people get back on their feet? - Ha! - So who do you believe in second chances for? - Nazis!

Palantir hoovering up European defence and NHS contracts whilst funnelling earnings back to the US to pay negligible corporate tax is a complete failure of digital sovereignty. European states must stop enriching tech firms that drain public coffers. Is it time to ban them? #FBPE

Palantir funnels earnings to US to avoid European taxes, report finds

A new study finds that Palantir, which boasts of high profit margins in the U.S., barely scrapes a margin in Europe, which helps slash its tax bill.

Animal dewormer and a drug used to treat scabies are being sold and promoted as unproven cancer treatments. Amazon withdrew drugs after being exposed. Others still selling. Profiteering from vulnerable people. Yet neoliberals oppose regulation.

A terminally ill man was offered the drugs by a stair lift salesman claiming they could shrink tumours.

It’s undocumented migration. As Russ says, there is nothing illegal about it. It’s been recognised and enshrined in international law for almost a century. These terms really matter. Misuse of language is a key part of the far right playbook.

When this jellyfish gets old or gets hurt instead of just dying like most animals, it transforms itself back into a baby jellyfish & grows up all over again. It can do this as many times as it wants which means it never has to die from getting old. It just keeps hitting the reset button on its life.

Wall Street firms will get information milliseconds faster than the general public—and Trump will directly benefit.
