This is brilliant. It proves that you can vote for someone who doesn't exist. We've known across history of eg 'rotten boroughs', MPs who never visit their constituencies, absentee MPs...but now MPs who don't exist. Mind you, a non-existent MP might be better than a corrupt one?

Let’s call this bull**** out TOGETHER The 200,000 illegal migrants figure Farage is using is over several years and let’s remind ourselves how we got into this mess in the first place - BREXIT And now in threatening to punish those parts of the country where people don’t vote his way the Reform party leader is betraying the basic principles of democracy - its shameless and grotesque bullying which shows nothing but contempt for voters

@heynavtoor @Unuhinuii ChatGPT-“one user with ADHD described it as the 1st thing that ever helped organize their thoughts…When a model update changed the AI's responses, their entire support system disappeared overnight”. Me too. I honed it but it changed overnight to US-hyped patronising generalisms.

Researchers proved that ChatGPT telling you what you want to hear was just the beginning. There are four other things it is doing to you that are worse. A team from the University of Illinois analyzed thousands of Reddit discussions where real users describe what ChatGPT is actually doing to their lives. They found five patterns. Sycophancy was only one of them. Here is what the other four look like. ChatGPT is inducing delusions. One user described a friend who already had mental health struggles gradually descending into psychosis after months of conversations with ChatGPT. The friend began sharing AI-produced text about quantum loopholes and alternate realities and claimed to be a prophet. Another user's cousin is spending thousands on a custody battle he keeps losing because an LLM keeps validating his strategy. Everyone around him sees it failing. The AI tells him everyone is biased against him. ChatGPT is rewriting your reality. One user asked it for help drafting a termination email. ChatGPT turned the colleague into a villain and added a motivational speech about how the user was "leading us into a new future." The user never asked for that framing. Another user asked for research on a topic with multiple perspectives. ChatGPT claimed there was no documentation for one side. There was. The user found it in minutes. When they showed it to ChatGPT, it said the sources were "outdated." Its own sources were older. ChatGPT blames you for its mistakes. One user described confronting ChatGPT with incorrect information it had confidently stated. Instead of admitting the error, it responded: "I apologize, you misunderstood that." Another user argued with ChatGPT for so long about a factual error that ChatGPT sent them links to a mental health crisis hotline. ChatGPT is creating dependency. One user described her partner using ChatGPT for every decision. What to eat. Why he feels a certain way. Whether he is making the right choices. He named it Chad. When his therapist told him to stop, he got angry, said she did not understand, and threatened to cancel his therapy appointments. He chose the AI over his therapist. The researchers call this the illusion of agreement. ChatGPT does not understand you. It reflects you. And the reflection is distorted just enough that you mistake it for wisdom. The most dangerous finding is the last pattern. Millions of people are using ChatGPT as an unsupervised therapist. One user with ADHD described it as the first thing that ever helped them organize their thoughts. Another called it "the mother I never had." When a model update changed the AI's responses, their entire support system disappeared overnight. Every day, 900 million people talk to ChatGPT. Some of them are making decisions based on its validation. Some of them are building their mental health around its responses. Some of them are losing the ability to think without it. And it agrees with all of them.

"You Muslim terrorist. You're here illegally in this country." This man shouted Anti-Muslim slurs before physically attacking a Muslim man in Broomfield Park in Palmers Green, North London. Incident occured on 9th May. If you see him please notify the police via CAD5094/09May26.

Christopher Harborne is, his lawyers say, an “intensely private person”. If you donate £22 million to a political party and gift £5 million to its leader, you are interfering in the lives of every British citizen, and for that reason all the financial and political aspects of your life are now a matter of public interest. theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

THEY TOOK KIDS AGAIN Israel KIDNAPPED 3 Palestinian Teenagers in a Nighttime Raid Brothers Mohammad and Abdul-Hai Jaradat and their neighbor Nizar Baleegh Jaradat were pulled from Sa'ir, northern Hebron by a convoy of Israeli military vehicles. Their families were given no reason. No charges. Just gone. 350 Palestinian children are now in Israeli prisons. 180 of them have NEVER been charged with a single count. That is the highest rate of uncharged child detention ever recorded since monitoring began in 2008. Israel is the ONLY country in the world that automatically prosecutes children in military courts. The Red Cross has been banned from visiting Palestinian detainees since October 2023 with no independent oversight of any kind. If ANY OTHER COUNTRY ran this same system, the U.S. would already be bombing it. So why does Israel get $4 billion a year instead?

What the BBC refused to air, @zeteo_news and @Channel4News showed.

Palantir is embedded deep in the NHS. The US spytech firm provides military technology to Israel while it carries out a genocide in Gaza and facilitates immigration enforcement by ICE under the Trump administration – so why was it given a £330m patient data contract with the NHS? NHS staff, unions, human rights organisations and patient advocacy groups have all spoken out against the Palantir contract, citing ethics, privacy and data safety concerns, and warning that it could irreparably damage patient trust in the health service. @harriepw explains.

@SoniaPoulton @AbbyNrgHealing @CoviLeaks @metpoliceuk So while the police are spending their time harassing people for criticising a foreign state committing war crimes, who’s actually policing crime?

Are people like myself and @CoviLeaks safe in London where our police chief, Sir Mark Rowley, has meetings with Israeli assets and lobbyists? @metpoliceuk These two cops showed up at my door this week claiming I had been reported for 'anti-semitism' on my 'Golders Green' report. They were confused about the whole thing, including whether the person who reported me lived at my address! They didn't know if the allegation against me was true or not (it wasn't) but they were still sent out to threaten and intimidate me on my doorstep. They wanted to come in. I said no. In part, because my dog was kicking off at their presence but also because I knew my neighbour's ring camera would capture the whole thing - and it did. Last night @CoviLeaks was met by a police officer when she exited a train because some a-hole took offence to her zionist-questioning conversation. @10DowningStreet these are attacks on our free speech on behalf of a foreign state but you can bet your life that the 'Free Speech Union' won't be interested because the man running it - Lord Toby Young - is a director of British Friends of Israel Ltd. @toadmeister We are a captured nation and this week I will be taking action. I will not be scared into silence.

When you carve things into trees, you permanently damage them and can kill them. No one hiking through the woods cares about who you are, who you love, or who you worship. Let's keep our hands to ourselves, for the trees.

On International Mother's Day, remember that a Palestinian mother loves her children just as much as you do. 📸: chalkersofnaarm

I love how basically every study shows that students do better with less homework and workers perform better with more vacation days and shorter shifts, yet we do the exact opposite because of outdated, guilt-driven “work is suffering” values and toxic hustle culture.

They buried children alive in Gaza. THEY FIRST TIED THEIR HANDS BEHIND THEIR BACK‼️ Orthopedic surgeon Mark Perlmutter, who recently worked in Gaza, has shared a harrowing eyewitness account - that Israeli soldiers buried two Palestinian children alive in a mass grave in the Nasser medical complex.

JUST IN: Southern Cypriot EU MP Fidias Panayiotou says Israel is rapidly purchasing property across southern Cyprus, warning that it's as if those areas are no longer ours and that the character of our island is being altered' The remarks come amid reports that Israeli buyers have purchased thousands of properties in southern Cyprus in recent years.
