Please do not use AI for legal advice, or near legal documents, or for anything even adjacently legal. It's only when it's an area of law you actually have expertise in that you can see just how much it gets wrong. Otherwise it might look dangerously plausible. Just trust me. Don't.

The MPs’ second jobs scandal is IMO the pick of the bunch here: literally just the lads realising they could consult the register of members’ interests then use CTRL+F in Hansard, suddenly discovering more ludicrous, overt corruption in one afternoon than they had over the previous eleven years.

Life really does come at you fast when you're Liz Truss

So when I went to see the new SpongeBob movie, I would not have predicted there would be a Teenager Mutant Ninja Turtles short beforehand with an explicitly anti-ChatGPT theme. But I am certainly not complaining.

Cannot stop thinking about the people I met in Calais. They deserve so much better. @greenparty.org.uk @calaisappeal.bsky.social

Totally normal

THE YETI SPEAKS (whose two halves use the same letters, in the same order):

The health service is being put at risk because overseas health professionals increasingly see the UK as an “unwelcoming, racist” country, in part because of the government’s tough approach to immigration www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

This is why Labour are failing, by the way: they are terrible, repellent people with horrifying politics, recruited specifically to manage people they *openly despise*, inflicted upon Britain by the world’s most poisonous media outlets. It is not IMO surprising that this does not please the public.

12YO girl signed up to do “stand up comedy” at the talent show. 13YO boy decided to heckle her. Teacher started to tell the boy to leave her alone, but the 12YO comedian said “no, no, let him go, this is the closest he’s ever going to get to having a conversation with a girl.”

Merry Christmas! Here’s the gift you definitely didn’t ask for… the penultimate part of the 25 Worst Columns of 2025 brokenbottleboy.substack.com/p/the-25-wor...

Who in their right minds sings the national anthem at Christmas? It's weird enough the rest of the time, but for Christmas? Also where is the flag? Why is the flag? Also why is there a wink emoji? Mike Tapp bringing me utter bemusement for Christmas.

Mumsnet, Christmas Day:

An absolutely ideal story for the day. Wrenched the heart. Merry Christmas.

If Labour were not worried about @zackpolanski.bsky.social and the increasing Green surge, it would be studiously ignoring them. The fact that they are even attacking him on Christmas Day tells you they are getting desperate. Lab are being replaced by Grn.

A Christmas Day tale in 3 parts. 1) Steve Reed - Housing Minister - launches a Xmas Day attack. 2) It's the Labour Governments usual shit. 3) join.greenparty.org.uk Merry Xmas! www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/exclus...

This is genuinely horrifying. Fact-free far-right agitprop given accolades by credible media across the political spectrum.

2025 is set to be the UK's hottest since records began. Scientists are clear that changes to our climate are unprecedented and the result of burning fossil fuels. The government's climate policies must be led by the science, not by climate deniers and their friends from the fossil-fuel lobby.

notice how she wasn't even supporting palestine action. she was supporting the hunger strikers.

There’s an Arabic version of “every cloud has a silver lining” that translates to “no cows, no feeding them at dawn.” A Scots version is “today’s rain is tomorrow’s whisky.” And a Romanian phrase for looking on the bright side is un șut în fund, un pas înainte, or “a kick in the ass, a step forward”

[first day as a shepherd] boss: where are you going? me: [pointing] star boss: what? why me: [shrugging] baby

My goodness a political party with an actual solution to “illegal work”

Also screw the BBC for its naked agenda. It refused to carry a hugely expensive first ever YouGov survey we commissioned showing how awful trans lives in the UK have become because it was "not strong enough" but there's no piece of anti-trans hatred too petty for it to platform.

Saved you a click - it's horseshoe theory brain rot.

Usual reminder: decisions like this don't mean that AI can do the job of a human translator; they mean that some C-suite creature who is basically a LinkedIn profile wrapped in ham and an expensive suit has decided it provides an alibi for paying human translators less money for less rewarding work.

Puberty blockers for cis kids? That's fine. Puberty blockers for trans kids? That's so dangerous you must go to prison.

This case is absolutely horrifying.

I have checked and, no, the UK Labour Party's own LGBT+ affiliate has not uttered a peep on the topic.

🎉 Absolutely delighted to welcome Jamie Driscoll to the Green Party. 👏🏼 He has a track record of demonstrating his commitment towards our communities alongside empowering them. 💚 Join us: join.greenparty.org.uk

'inside the red-faced hawk is a dove, with an almost physical horror of violence' 'Trump is as close as a pacifist as we've seen in the White House' Pure pundit brain from Ian Leslie in March 2025

Wie Paris in 10 Jahren seine Luft um 40% verbesserte und so vorzeitige Todesfälle durch Smog halbieren konnte, ist so eine krasse Erfolgsgeschichte. 2019 litten 400.000 Menschen an schlechter Luft. 2023 nur noch 5.000 und nächstes Jahr sollen es Null sein. Für eine 🇪🇺 Großstadt ist das beispiellos❤️

"I wouldn't want to take away the right to strike at all but..." Govt minister Sarah Jones defending a group of workers not being allowed to strike and attacking another group of workers for striking in order to restore their pay. Jones is an MP for the party of organised labour.

I invite you to ask yourself why the language of protestors has been a terrifying daily concern, but e.g. successive governments giving the US unlimited use of our airbases to fly a gajillion dollars of weapons of destruction into Israel for use on huge numbers of civilians is not concerning at all.

People have had enough of Labour. They can change leader but the problem is the hundreds of corporate lobbyists who are Labour MPs. More and more people joining the Green Party every day! www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

Reports from @amnestyuk.bsky.social clearly show that UK-made components have been found in weapons in the awful conflict in Sudan. But this government refuses to act. Once again, the minister refused to acknowledge the reality of the situation when I confronted him yesterday.

I've made a complaint to the BBC about its bald misstatement of the truth about what the Supreme Court decided in the For (Some) Women Scotland decision.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage. www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/bus...

"Agenda-free"

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama. Us: Across your entire career? Reiner: In a 6 year period. Us: That sounds- Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

Remember when you censored Judith Butler for calling the gender-critical movement fascist? Or when you ran an editorial both sides-ing gender identity reform? Or when you quoted a transphobic hate group as a neutral source? Or when you basically republished one of their press releases verbatim?

“AI models not only point some users to false sources but also cause problems for researchers and librarians, who end up wasting their time looking for requested nonexistent records…”

Ok but your foreword to your recent consultation repeats the far right fantasy of an “open border experiment” & says the “cause of our division” is the “destabilising” “pace and scale of migration”, so

We will be reporting on this protest today. Watch this thread at 12 as that will be when the protest is scheduled to start.

I don't think a lot of people get quite how bad the situation has got with targeted attacks on the migrants rights and refugee sector. My wife would be very happy if I left the sector I know that for sure. It's also just getting worse, stoked in no small part by government rhetoric and policies.

Bridget Phillipson knew her history, was told by MPs not to appoint her, insisted on appointing her, and in her first interview the Chair of the Equality and Human Rights Commission has ignored super clear and explicit human rights law that trans people are not a third sex. What a disgrace.

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. We fucking knew it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I'm praying for WesGate to happen instead. Some crushingly humiliating scandal that definitively ends his political career and becomes associated with his name forever.

Robin Ince reveals to last night’s audience at a recording of Infinite Monkey Cage that the BBC has forced him to resign over his support of trans people
