This is appalling. I've spent a year writing a book and in that time, AI took off. It feels like the world has been cut out from under me, knowing anything I submit will be deemed AI if it's good & professional (I pride myself on producing proofready manuscripts) or it will be lost amid the AI slop.

In the middle of a heatwave, this photograph feels wonderfully cooling. William Pye's reflective font transforms Salisbury Cathedral into something that feels otherworldly.

The Reform tropes are emotional hot buttons that fall to pieces when analysed. 'The Deep State' - it doesn't exist. 'We want our country back' - only Dr Who can go back to 1959. "The Establishment are after Nigel." - does that include his millionaire backers, or his 7 of 8 privately schooled MPs?

I took this photo on Saturday from my train to York as it passed over the Knaresborough Viaduct. Are there any lovelier views from a British train journey?

Last night's primetime nothing burger of a speech was all about putting pressure on Congress to pass his Save Trump's Ass Act.

Another dangerous move towards the Eurobomb that will increase nuclear dangers rather than keeping us safe. Europe needs to be a nuclear-weapon-free zone. vist.ly/5bivd

If DVLA / the Passport Office were building HS2, it would be in Edinburgh by now.

Ranvir Singh asks @zackpolanski.bsky.social why his popularity rating is below that of other party leaders Zack: "When you challenge wealth and power, as I do every day, that's going to upset certain amounts of people" Yep, not least the billionaires who own so much of our msm!

The Farage show is tediously self-pitying. Even if his idiotic by-election stunt distracts temporarily from scrutiny of his dodgy finances, his inability to accept and make amends for the significant role he himself plays in the toxification of our politics will not. (Letters in The Times)

Brexit succeeded because it united people with very different motivations behind one simple objective. Those of us who want a closer relationship with Europe should learn something from that. Coalitions win. #RejoinEU

It was hiding in plain sight! Most of the media cared more about clicks than doing their jobs … holding those who wield power, to account in this case to change the country’s destiny to the national self harm of Brexit If they had, we probably wouldn’t be where we are now in UK politics

Despite all the noise today I'd really like you to read this, as I think it's crucial. The government's in the process of p*ssing up to £264 billion into the ground, at the behest of the fossil fuel industry. Yes, £264 *billion*. It's utterly mad, and has to stop. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
