Lord Reed has announced his intention to retire from the Supreme Court on 10 January 2027. www.supremecourt.uk/news/lord-re...

Last night, we launched our new report, The Rule of Law: Building Resilience through Culture & Practice, in the House of Lords - setting out practical steps to embed rule-of-law principles in everyday governance and public life. Read more here: bit.ly/49yt8X

Nadim Zahawi arrived in the UK from Iraq as a child refugee. His family claimed asylum once they were here. Today he has joined Reform who will stop all in country asylum applications. Under his new party, his own family fleeing persecution would be immediately deported.

He may be deleting the tweets, but he won't have the authority to remove this article from Con Home website #wato conservativehome.com/2015/03/23/n...

Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.

We've launched an investigation into X over Grok sexualised imagery. We've opened a formal investigation into X under the Online Safety Act, to determine whether it has complied with its duties to protect people in the UK from content that is illegal in the UK. 🔗 www.ofcom.org.uk/online-safet...

For Bluesky to truly work; we need more Traitors chat. It is 100% on Twitter right now. This is obviously indicative of Bluesky failing on cultural chat, but that would include football and I'm not advocating for that to move 😂

So, to help illustrate why this thread is so horrifying, Stanford did a study on Lexis+ AI, Westlaw AI-Assisted Research, and Thomson-Reuters Ask Practical Law AI, and found between 17% and 33% hallucinations even though these are supposed to be the retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) tools.

I reckon over the past decade I have been sexually harassed ten times more often inside the Palace of Westminster than I have on London streets

lol Palantir sound like psychos, good thing we've kept them at arms length...

I'm afraid there *is* an obvious answer: it can't.

The end goal of Grok sexual harassment is to make women afraid to be visible. It’s a punishment for daring to exist in a way the perpetrators can’t control. There’s no one solution to this, because the problem isn’t just technological. It’s cultural. It’s misogyny. This is just one expression of it.

All of this talk about Grok; we also need to identify the fact that it's been driven by a 15 year old boy mentality. It's the sexual aggression of a boy; to humiliate an opponent you make them female, you strip them because they think that's how you humiliate women and dominate them through rape.

I think the AI angle of this is obscurant. It doesn’t matter that grok is “an AI” whatever you take that to mean. Suppose X hired a team of guys to photoshop the clothes off of women and children whenever anyone asks. That’s functionally identical what happening here. It’s not complicated.

I have obviously spent too much time around the police (professionally) because Amanda in the Traitors spoke for 2 seconds and I said "She's a cop". The fact that none of the rest of them have clocked it is sus. Especially the secret barrister, she fucking knows and they've edited out her saying it

This poster is one of the best on here and I’m so sad we’re losing her because of the appalling harassment she has been subjected to. Of course she must look after herself. And the rest of us need to do whatever we can to challenge and change this cruel, sick, dangerous, culture.

Suspending Doctors Without Borders is definitely a thing healthy countries do

Good interview in the paper, this. I think Sadiq is right: London 'needs' to be less successful than it is for a bunch of political arguments here in the UK to work, hence the fictions being invented about it:

With canceling culture... I get it up to Michael Jackson. Then I don't get it.

Jeffrey Epstein & David Walliams leading all the bulletins but Kemi Badenoch knows that only men from ‘different cultures’ pose a threat to women.

Doesn’t feel good that the head of BBC News Content is instructing reporters to refer to trans people with slurs. If this leak is real it raises questions about who made this decision, who was consulted, and why the BBC chose to ignore its own editorial guidelines on slurs and offensive language

I love the internet sometimes

This is a personal favourite, heard it a while ago and love it from so many directions.

I really recommend following this guy who translates idioms and similar from other languages. So many are hilarious/beautifully poetic. 👇

David Walliams hosted an ultra-sleazy secretive men-only dinner where the waitresses were seriously sexually harassed, propositioned, groped, & frightened, 3 years running, and never really apologised, and somehow got away with it www.thebookseller.com/news/trade-r...

Conor Tomlinson - recently hosted by Harry Cole, Sun editor at large on Talk TV- confirms he advocates deporting most of the migrants who have become British citizens {so more than half of about 5 million citizens born-abroad) as well as most migrants who are not citizens.

JFK’s niece: h/t @jamiegangel.bsky.social

There is an interaction between white supremacy and patriarchy. A woman of colour can still utilise and exploit white supremacy for their own ideological ends. A black woman saying a campaign led and orchestrated by far right Nazis should be "welcomed" doesn't negate this analysis but reinforces it.

The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.

In my kids majority white primary school they had to deal with a sexually violent messages in WhatsApp group of kids. Pretending that 11 year old white kids don't have a problem is actively dangerous.

For the parents of all children.

If handing someone their arse, was a video clip

In this pic of Jeffrey Epstein with Steve Bannon, is that a photo on Epstein's desk of a victim or a video monitor of the room she is being held in? #Creepy

Iranian Nobel Peace Prize laureate Narges Mohammadi, a prominent human-rights advocate, was arrested at a public event on Friday, according to her foundation.

I guess it's fitting that it's a reimagined, worse version of someone else's artwork

🔴 REVEALED 🔴 The Institute of Economic Affairs – the anti-state, anti-climate pressure group that "incubated" Liz Truss – was bankrolled by oil giants and Rupert Murdoch’s media empire. 📝 Exclusive findings from @desmog.com 👇

Martin Parr, absolute mensch. From Colin Wilkinson, founder of Bluecoat Press, on FB

Interestingly, there have been a lot of edits to the online coverage of the Sandie Peggie reports. This quote seems to reflect that - there was an assumption at the BBC (and elsewhere) that it was raining transphobia and they hadn’t bothered to look into it and check:

Sure, we're the weak and decaying ones...

SUTR SCOTLAND ANALYSIS PIECE: Falkirk unites against the far-right, Inverness humiliates the fascists Anti-racists and anti-fascists across Scotland scored two crucial victories today.

What I will never understand #47754 Why didn't the Labour govt make the eradication of child poverty it's no.1 aim from day 1? Getting rid of 2 child straightaway, adding the benefits cap. Great optics, would have given them such good will. Instead they are being dragged there kicking and screaming.

Remember folks: if you have any small amount of artistic talent, any sex appeal, or can make your friends laugh, the richest man on earth is crying screaming throwing up because he can’t be you.

The cognitive dissonance between Twitter and Bluesky on Girlguiding and Women's Institute policy change is a thing to behold. Where are the British commentators? Twitter. That is the problem with British political discourse - right there.

Off you fuck.

I think it's worth noticing how completely major media institutions have just gone along with the project of sacrificing the national economy on the altar of "some people in marginal constituencies don't like hearing foreign accents when they go out"

The shift to a "digital only immigration system" is already causing distress and exclusion for many migrants. Our work with the University of Warwick has shown significant issues with the system. We will be launching our report later today detailing the problems. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Labour bearing down on immigration will fix this any day now.
