S&P Global wrote, the “liquidity of SoftBank Group’s investment portfolio will worsen because OpenAI now accounts for a bigger share of it.” SoftBank's CEO responds that he’s willing to waste trillions of dollars a year for decades if that’s what it takes to make AI a financial success! #WhatBubble?

Without even the slightest sense of irony, the Knesset drags Israeli society ever backwards to be more like Iran.

If you are a Unite member and want more climate action (not less), look out for the ballot paper which should arrive in the next couple of days. Sharon Graham has argued for more drilling in the North Sea and briefed against Ed Miliband because of his work on net zero. Time to dump Sharon!

"From veterans to pet owners to parents to children with SEND and older people, we know the havoc nuisance fireworks cause. In towns and cities, this anti-social behaviour isn’t limited to festive periods any more, but all year round and round the clock."

"A closed country will be poorer. A country that underinvests will not grow. A state that refuses to reform tax will ration ambition. And a Labour government afraid to say these things will discover once again that caution, too, has costs." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Too soon?

Reform UK have tabled an amendment to the UK Government’s elections Bill which would mean candidates using any language except English or Welsh would face up to six months in prison. This is outright discrimination, and we will stand firmly against such prejudice and ignorance.

Ed Miliband has a BA in PPE from Corpus Christi College, Oxford and an MSc in Economics from the London School of Economics. He also served in senior government roles including Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and previously advised Gordon Brown as a special adviser. So... Shabana Mahmood! 👏

A true patriot who loves his country. Honest! 🤪

Never forgive, never forget.

Farage complains to the electrol committee that local residents in #Clacton are being intimidated by @countbinface.bsky.social activists

"The report by the joint intelligence committee and other government departments... shows that the UK will face catastrophic consequences from the collapse of key ecosystems in other countries. These include the Amazon rainforest, which scientists fear is reaching a tipping point"

Given this is now shaping up to be Count Binface vs the Cunt of Dodgy Crypto, every party should descend on Clacton and leaflet/canvass for the mighty Bin!

"Hands up if you called a by-election to distract attention from your dodgy finances but ended up running against a bin and looking like a right dick"

Why Nigel Mirage never holds surgeries and what he actually thinks of his Clacton constituents... "Do I have an office in Clacton? Yes. Am I allowing the public to flow through the door with their knives in their pockets? No, no I'm not."

BBC - "Until Saturday night, little was known about the relationship between Nigel Farage and convicted criminal George Cottrell." Fact - Private Eye has been banging on about this for *literally* years Poor bloody show BBC - as usual when it comes to Farage/Reform

JD Vance and I found we had a surprising amount in common.

Of course there's no way to know whether chucking billionaires into volcanos will appease the sun god but I feel we're doing the scientific method a disservice if we don't at least try. - pankendev

This is a great resource and incredibly sobering 👇

Times scoop: Farage failed to declare that a criminal and crypto gambler funded his office in the run-up to the election. Murdoch is coming for him.

"Rather than working for us, Keir Starmer and his ministers are acting against us. They have rammed through parliament a sweeping law that will, independent experts agree, harm the public; and they have done so without even coming clean on the costs or the consequences"

If companies can't run data centres without polluting our air and water, pushing up energy bills, abusing workers' rights, harming local communities or wrecking the climate – then they shouldn't be allowed to run them A safe climate and healthy environment are necessities – tech bro profits aren't

Socialism for the wealthy, feudalism for everyone else.

Treating children like cattle’: what happens when private equity takes over a UK care home? Homes with inadequate staff, management. “High levels of distress” among the children resulted in self-harm, children not safe, poor care All in pursuit of profits. Successive govts privatised care homes.

i think, if I tried to boil it down to a sentence, it'd be: "All politicians are hated by their opponents - but Starmer went out of his way to be hated by his supporters too."
