Representation isn’t about who succeeds because they’re women. It’s about ensuring our institutions draw on the fullest range of talent our country has to offer.

Scrap the Romesh thing just clip Wayne Rooney saying he thought the half time show was crap and the licence fee QR code

“ We are so committed to fairness that we have lost sight of the unfairness of doing nothing.” This so applies in the UK too. www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/o...

Good. Assisted Dying Bill is back.

This is really worth reading - it’s horrifyingly surreal to understand the level and degrees of the abhorrence for, and abuse of, women … and of course the reality that their life is only made viable by that subjugation. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

US lecturing us is so LOL! www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

Such a good piece - we all have responsibility… and our agency maybe be less than we’d like but it is still ours to use. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/... Should AI steal your job?

Where are Labour’s women in the leadership conversation? Politics is not just about who governs. It is also about who gets imagined as defining the future. 👉 www.elect-her.org.uk/blog/women-hold-power

Our days

So… great day for democracy and looks like you can win from the center right!

Pleasing …

Remember to be wary, as today is the only day of the year that incorrect or misleading information is posted on the internet.

This from Kyle is spot on…as always!

If you had an extra day, what would you do with it?

I don’t think that “accidentally” getting a Nazi tattoo means you have to be exiled from the whole of society, I do think it means you don’t get to be one of the hundred most powerful people in America. Sorry. I know that seems unfair. That’s just the way it works.

😱 That is all.

So well worth ‘Melania’

Noooo #curling

Algorithms now go beyond tyrannical AI tools enable the harassment, humiliation, abuse and relentless hounding of women … Without any guardrails. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

"Months before Jesse Van Rootselaar became the suspect in the mass shooting that devastated a rural town in British Columbia, Canada, OpenAI considered alerting law enforcement about her interactions with its ChatGPT chatbot, the company said."

Can feed algorithms shape what people think about politics? Our paper "The Political Effects of X's Feed Algorithm" is out today in Nature and answers "Yes." www.nature.com/articles/s41...

“All of the 18 experts Meta hired concluded they presented a wellbeing issue.” 😱 giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

“That catalysed an environment ... Complexity became a liability. Doubt became weakness. And politics, which should be the arena where we wrestle with hard truths, became a performance of certainty - a race to the bottom where the goal isn’t to govern well but to score points & “win” the news cycle”

“At the time, Mandelson was both Britain’s ambassador to the US and a shareholder in Global Counsel, the lobbying firm he co-founded in 2010 that counts Palantir as a client.” giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Damn. Somebody said there is a documentary that Melania appears in that is actually worth seeing. I think it’s an old YouTube thing?! If by any remote chance anyone knows of what that was - please release me from my blankness!

We see this repeatedly. People feted/ put on pedestals, behaviour ignored because they are ‘masterminds’ - despite there being clear signs that they aren’t, maybe in one realm they flourish but not in others. Everyone needs checks & balances - & Mandy more than most! www.cityam.com/starmers-fai...

Listening to Labour MPs talking about how surprising the revelations are 👀 but PLEASE anyone who has met/ had knowledge of Mandy is/ should not be surprised!

How are you meant to sleep with all this news 🤯

Wow - this framing is doing some seriously heavy lifting! “they did render statements on “do business with” or have a “relationship with” Epstein “perhaps more nuanced than might appear at first glance”.” 150mill for tex advice 😂 giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Takeaway: Any time the Trump administration says "AI" or anything about software or data, what you should hear is "repression as a service" This has 2 parts: 1. AI as an excuse to consolidate data 2. AI to execute orders that humans would refuse
