When asked what policy he would prescribe in response to AI,
@rbreich.bsky.social
said Universal Basic Income. That's the 3-word correct answer. It's not the only thing we need, but it's the core. It's the foundation to build on. The more people say the same, the better. Mention UBI over and over.

What Starmer still hasnāt learned is that you canāt give different messages to different audiences and get away with it. The people at the Labour conference will also hear what he says in the Sun.

The UK Labour Party has for many years been full of people who should be in the Lib Dems or Tories but for whatever reason cannot countenance the idea of joining those parties, so they spend all their time turning Labour away from its fundamental principles to make it more like themselves

People that whinge on about immigrants coming to the UK and claiming benefits and taking jobs off people are also the kind of people that don't do due diligence on what they're told by mendacious fuckers like Mr Farage.

The UK doesnāt have āuncontrolled legal migrationā otherwise anyone from any other country can come in here at any time without going through some form of lawful application process. When did this ever happen in modern history? The govt is using this term without telling us what they mean by it.

Finding it increasingly difficult to put into words how fervently I wish Farage and the rest of his reform cronies would just fuck off out of UK politics. These terminally-aggrieved, xenophobic, racist cavemen are honestly exhausting. "Immigrant" is not a dirty word, stop treating it like one
