Here’s just one detail from @thenerve.news #HarborneReceipts timeline. On the *exact same day* Christopher Harborne gives Reform £3m, Nigel Farage says Reform will lift cap on stablecoin ownership. Where does Christopher Harborne’s money come from, you ask? Stablecoins!

Give me your budget takes - good, bad and realistic - and I'll publish a bunch of them on The Point Live. Have a feeling the disconnect between the media narrative and what people think is wider than ever

Listening to the talkative teens currently inhabiting my living room. Can confirm that they have an utter disdain for AI, and by extension, for teachers who use AI. Also, that they discuss AI and its associated issues with far more knowledge and sophistication than most adults. #TheKidsAreAlright

Booing at a welcome to country at any event, at any time, anywhere in Australia is goes against everything it is to be a valued member of Australian society. If we are to refer to the concept of "Australian values", this is certainly NOT one of them.
