Very pleased to see a non right wing Director General starting at the #BBC tomorrow. Let’s hope someone fixes OFCOM asap and fine GB News into oblivion unless they want to be unbiased.

Give children their childhood back by banning social media for under 16s. I think #Burnham will be brave enough to make policies that are popular and free.

#Apple are well placed for #AI by a combination of reasons. They have the best consumer silicon, MLX and unified memory. They missed the boat on having their own model and securing RAM. They should make their own memory as they have so much money it’s worth the investment to hedge.

1/ The Bank of England does not need to raise rates, governments just need to increase renewables. The oil market has actually been quite resilient. In fact central banks need to stop Quantitative Tightening as governments have enough debt as it is, even the USA can’t rely on reserve status.

1/ An #iPhone or #Android could run a decent local LLM at decent speeds (Qwen 4.6 27b), but it doesn’t have enough RAM (32gb). It has 12gb and because of data centres, RAM is 4x what it was. This has taken from the customer to give to the tech companies. This is effecting all tech prices. #AI #Apple

I don’t know if ‘one in one out’ is actually working but small boat crossings are down 40% at the moment. I only know this because I wondered why it has gone quiet on the news.

The leaders are who need clamping down on. Anyone making money from this need exposing. The ecosystem of people doing this for money or those already on watchlists. HMRC should be funded to target more people, AI/social media provided watchlists. #Burnham can at least talk about community values.

Literally followed the polls and Stephen’s coverage. He was probably the number 1 journalist who followed and first predicted Corbyn was going to win.

Must we keep holding our politicians to such impossible standards?

Zack Polanski and his partner called their narrowboat their “amazing home” for three years. He registered to vote there. If it was his main residence, council tax was due. None was paid. His team says he stayed there only “occasionally” - if true, there's a very big problem.

Be sure to vote for the crypto billionaires TODAY!

Yeah exactly, but Norway are super rich from oil as well to be fair. Sweden and Denmark are the best systems and we would be well served with global tax reform. The more countries in the EU, the better for the world. UK obviously, then Canada, Japan, South Korea, Australia etc and just rename it.

Yeah, I have had 2 green councillors for decade. They are great but I wouldn’t want them running the council, let alone the country. Polanski is so naïve, many of his policies are unworkable and he is not to be trusted on Defence and Ukraine. 🇺🇦

While we tear ourselves up over #Isreal and #Palestine there are brutal civil wars in Myanmar, Sudan, Somalia, Yemen, Mali and the DRC. As well as the war that actually effects us (if that is what we are reduced to) in #Ukraine. We need a leader who can promote ‘tolerance realpolitik’ not populist

#Labour are doing most of what they promised. Any business would be happy with the progress on their manifesto promises. House building is problematic . Now why can’t they communicate this better? It should be law to sent out fullfact.org reports yearly, along with strong trust in politics reforms.

Interesting policy idea if you want to think outside the neoliberal box. #Labour

Why don’t #Labour realise they need to be radical and not incremental. Money needs to be taken out of politics, media reform should have been done. The only way to change course is with Burnham as he is a perceived, popular outsider. Starmer should have protected his over 100 year old party.

#OpenAI going bankrupt would be celebrated. They would take #Oracle down with them. We often see this in first mover markets, very similar to the dotcom bubble. We should focus on self hosted, private and open source. This means cheaper RAM and focusing on on-device.

If Starmer has to go then surely they must also abort the abuse of NHS data by the fascist Peter Thiel and Palantir? www.thenerve.news/p/stewart-le...

Historic!

For most use cases, once the RAM crisis ends, a local private, open source version of #deepseek is a much more versatile and cheap way of using #AI. Efficiency and cost needs to be taken into account. A #mac studio with 512gb RAM will work for small business over the next few years.

We (UK) actually do a very good job on immigration. There is a very good case for having a reform of the #ECHR. I’d never support leaving. Shabana Mahmood needs to deliver. Lessons to be learned.

Any #Trump #Iran deal will involve closing bases and calling that a win to his #MAGA cult. When in fact it’s a collapse of the American Empire. He will have to take control of #Cuba and turn it into Hawaii with casinos it for his ego. Which to be fair to him, is a more rational plan.

The Macbook Neo makes me so happy as for £500-550 there is no competition. The next model will hopefully have 12gb RAM if memory prices drift down, but 8gb is enough and #MacOS memory management is superb. If you have £750 get an M4 air from #Apple refurbished. Once you go Mac, you don’t go back.

This guy is so naïve, he should be called out by Labour’s amazing comms team lead by their top tier social media team. This guy is a risk to our national security just like #Farage.

Baffling

I do think he has the best chance to beat #Farage I’m undecided who I would support but coming in having not ran on the manifesto gives you options and he has good name recognition and the best approval ratings.

#Ireland not being in #NATO. You could make a case for them contributing 2% of GDP to the EU or UK. Probably 1% to each would be morally correct. In this new world this is a disgrace.

As long as he delivers on policy, that will be the testbed of how progressive the next presidential candidate can be.

Best country to be born in. All this paid by fossil fuels though!

In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.

1/ #China will be attacking #Taiwan this Autumn. This will start with a blockade. #Trump will not intervene until he realises that 3 & 2nm semiconductors are essential for bleeding edge technology. This will set back computing 5 years. The ‘tech bros’ need to convince Trump to help Taiwan not Isreal

The UK Military needs to replicate most practices from the #Ukraine army. All NATO states do, even the #USA. I wish FirePoint would sell me shares as their budget drones are the innovation. We need to hire drone pilots, with the gamified system of drone units. It’s essential deterrence. #NATO #NAFO

Tesla's Cybertruck is garbage.

Nick Robinson knows this is a lie, it’s not like it was some abstract claim from some dodgy thinktank. Why the fuck do we send children to school if we allow misinformation on TV. We need to remove Robbie Gibb and the right wing plants from the BBC and give someone like Emily Maitlis the top job.

Yeah here in the UK, the government are 3x solar, 2x wind (including offshore, which you could do) in a 5 year term. This will make us have 90-95% renewable electric. So it’s really a case of motivation.

When Colbert teams up with @sydneykamlager.bsky.social @meidastouch.com, you never know what will happen. She is a flamethrower. 🔥🔥

I am never leaving this website

www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... The Greens are an embarrassment

Green Party talking about banning horse and dog racing have no idea at all about this. As a previous greyhound owner and friends with horse owners, I can say they are the salt of the earth. They love their animals. We are world leaders in Horse racing. It’s roulette and slots that are problematic.

Totally agree. 🇪🇺

1/ Fixing the global tax system to benefit the average person is essential. This has to be led by America, who can use tariffs or sanctions to enforce it. Unfortunately Americans are not used to socialist policies and confuse it with communism (which is crazy left). Visit Sweden Denmark. Even Canada

One more reason not to buy the SpaceX IPO finance.yahoo.com/markets/stoc...

Good ideas in here as always from IPPR.

I can’t wait for the day when #crypto whales unload or die and their children sell and this Ponzi scheme unravels. Great interview on the vergecast (first half)

This is great news. I’m interested in air-con heat pumps as this would be a retail way of promoting them if they can be self powered by solar. We actually have a high level of personal savings that should be used for this tech in middle class homes and grants for less well off.

Farage thugs manhandle man with pacemaker after he objects to the Reform leader's chauffeur parking in disabled bay that he needs to use. Lovely People. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

Some good reforms have been made by #Labour but you will never hear about them. No. 10 should turn into a pulpit ala. White House and Covid. Under a new leader who can communicate.

Absolutely, we should have highlighted the benefits of freedom of movement to retire abroad. The old screwed over the young and things have been shit since. Even eurozone membership would give us much cheaper mortgages and borrowing rates. Cameron should never have agreed to the referendum.
