@BBCNews We “should not be”. But we are. We live on planet earth and are affected by events on planet earth. The problem we have is that Starmer is incapable of navigating the nation through international turbulence.

@Keir_Starmer @CTurnerFCDO Paging @legalstyleblog

The two-week ceasefire between the United States and Iran today is welcomed by the UK and our allies. The goal now must be a lasting end to the war. Alongside our international partners, the UK will work to ensure a return to freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.

@BBCBreaking This man loves a ceasefire but has little to no interest in or ideas about how to solve the underlying problem that caused the conflict in the first place. Does he have anything to say about how to prevent Iran getting their hands on a nuclear weapon?

Keir Starmer heads to the Gulf and says UK will "do all we can" to support US-Iran ceasefire - follow latest bbc.in/4srfOvX

@elonmusk We already are

One day, we will be out there, among the stars

@JuliaHB1 How will we all feel if politicians continue doing nothing useful and we wake up one day to find Iran has a nuclear weapon?

I support the US and Israel's actions to destroy the threat posed by the Iranian regime's nuclear potential and ballistic missiles but Trump's increasingly crazy threats undermine the legitimacy of the strikes on Iran - and risk escalating the conflict to a full Middle East war that could cause mass deaths, political chaos in the region and a global recession. It's doubtful his threats will deter the Islamo-fascist lunatics in Tehran. Trump is out of control. Steadier heads in the White House need to act now before it's too late.

We keep hearing about these AIs being too dangerous. I remember a guy from Google saying their AI was too dangerous and that was before Chat GPT was around. It feels like hype to me. Yes they are impressive but this idea that they are anywhere close to being actually intelligent is absurd

BREAKING: Anthropic claims their next-generation AI is "too powerful" to be released to the public, will restrict preview access to ~40 major tech companies.

@PolitlcsUS Okay so basically they are all either lunatic lefties, MAGA outcasts, schizophrenics or conspiracy theorists.

🚨 NEW: Multiple political figures are encouraging President Trump’s removal via the 25th Amendment Section four of the 25th Amendment clarifies that, if the Vice President and a majority of the cabinet inform Congress that the President is not fit for office, the President is removed and replaced by the VP Notable figures calling for the Amendment to be invoked include • Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) • ⁠⁠Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) • Governor JB Pritzker (D-IL) • ⁠⁠Conservative commentators Alex Jones and Candace Owens • ⁠Former Trump-White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci • ⁠Progressive commentator Mehdi Hasan

@antonioguterres @bbclysedoucet How about the objective of preventing a nihilistic, apocalyptic state government from developing a nuclear weapon?

There is no military objective that justifies the wholesale destruction of a society's infrastructure or the deliberate infliction of suffering on civilian populations.

@HarryHJDM @hegsadh @randomfoxears @EU_Commission What happens if there is a shortage of firefighters? If people choose not to go into that profession and suddenly we have no firefighters? Should we enslave people and force them to work as firefighters to ensure your ‘human right’ to firefighting is met?

@hegsadh @randomfoxears @rob9356 @EU_Commission Hey, Your house isn’t a human. The police have to protect you from violence as it’s ur human right. Which is their obligation. Same goes for the fire brigade. It’s a human right to live and the fire brigade is obligated to serve it. You can sue if they put ur life at risk

Healthcare is a basic right. Not a privilege. Not a luxury. This World Health Day, we stand for access, protection, and care for all.

@BBCNews Why did they become doctors in the first place if it’s such a bad deal? Go and work in Burger King or something

@pmarca AGI will never be achieved. The closest we will get is a very convincing yet shallow appearance of intelligence.

I'm calling it. AGI is already here – it's just not evenly distributed yet.

@legalstyleblog Will this get anywhere close to being law?

Honoured to have been one of the drafters on this. Read the bill!

@PolitlcsUK Heaven help us

🚨 BREAKING: Keir Starmer will address the nation this morning

@RupertMyers And do not forget that surrounding road traffic would be closed in all directions for the duration. And the mandatory two-year consultation period. And I’m sure a bat tunnel would be required somewhere.

If this was in the UK it would only get planning permission if a) two floors were dedicated homes for fire wardens; b) it was a new spy station next to the MoD for the Chinese; or c) the entire structure was designed to save the lives of an estimated two dozen carp

@YvetteCooperMP Why do we always have to get involved in the internal affairs of other nations that pose no threat to us? Israel is an ally. Can’t we just leave the friendly nations of the world to their own affairs? I know the foreign office needs to deal with foreign affairs but c’mon.

My statement with France, Germany and Italy on our united opposition to Israel’s death penalty law. The death penalty is wrong and we oppose it around the world. gov.uk/government/new…

@samstein What’s the deal with the overhanging column bases

The New York Times takes an architectural look at the coming White House ballroom and finds there is a lot of ornamental stairs to no where and faux windows with bathroom stalls behind them

@BBCNews Starmer put up the minimum wage so much that those jobs became uneconomical for companies.

Where have weekend jobs for teenagers gone? bbc.in/3PyOmi9

@Alexarmstrong @SadiqKhan First a knight, now a Lord. Next Starmer will be putting him on the fourth plinth.

BREAKING: Starmer is set to make @SadiqKhan a Lord and is weighing up offering him a cabinet position in the upcoming reshuffle post May elections. This is sure up Starmer’s position. How well will this will go down when London rape gangs, which Khan said don’t exist, are all brought to light?

@clashreport Okay but … why don’t you just start phasing it back in again then? Instead of moving to gas. “When you get on the wrong train, get off at the next station.”

Germany Energy Minister Katherina Reiche: The phase-out of nuclear power was a huge mistake — a huge mistake. We now miss that energy. So, the only way to secure supply is gas.
