@PolitlcsUK "politicians who tell you that Britain is broken.."
Hasn't Kier been doing that since he got into power?

@NotFarLeftAtAll "they are obsessed with their own selfish interests and excessive profits" says the man who has been in power for decades and stolen all of Russias money to give to his cronies

Putin
“I want the ordinary citizens of Western countries to hear me. You are being persistently told that all your current difficulties are the result of hostile actions by vicious Russia, and that you must pay for the fight against a mythical Russian threat out of your own pockets. All of this is a lie. The truth is that the problems you are facing now are the result of years of actions by the ruling elites of your own countries—their mistakes, short-sightedness, and ambition. They do not think about how to improve your lives; they are obsessed with their own selfish interests and excessive profits - President Putin.
Do you believe him..

I was delighted to join @Keir_Starmer to launch the new Office for the Impact Economy in the @cabinetofficeuk this week.
We’ll be working with philanthropists, charities and impact investors to deliver on the promise of change.

The reaction to Digital ID shows the government still hasn’t explained it clearly.
This is about security, not control. Other countries are moving ahead; Britain can’t afford to fall behind.
I may have to write about this again soon.
English
We’re told Digital ID will be secure. But public bodies in Wales have had repeated data breaches.
Don't let the government sell you out. Say No to Digital ID.
English
@Keir_Starmer seriously? when was the last time you opened a bank account? We've have digital remote doc scanning for the last 10 years!
English
It’s frustrating having to rummage around in a drawer, looking for an old electricity bill just to open a new bank account.
Digital ID will make our lives easier.

@SciTechgovuk Can someone please tell Adam about the UK's Data Act and digital verification services, so he doesn't need to use paper bank statements any more?
English
We recently announced the UK will introduce a digital ID 🪪🗸
But did you know lots of other countries already have them? 👀
Dual UK-Estonian citizen Adam tells us how he uses his Digital ID, and why he finds it useful.

"The government is already plotting to drag teenagers into a mandatory digital ID scheme before it’s even off the ground.
"It’s frankly sinister, unnecessary, and a clear step towards state overreach." @TweetingCollins

@StevenCahillHX @JonathanPieNews Who is underneath Tony Blair?
English
You can fuck right off. I certainly do not remember voting for this:
bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
English
The revelations in this article are shocking and unacceptable.
From Mandelson in Washington to Blair’s TBI writing NHS data policy with Oracle’s billions, to corporate lobbyists sitting on departmental boards - we are watching a state quietly repurposed to a degree not seen under any previous Labour govt - to serve the boardroom, not the public.
This is a political culture where dissent is pathologised, ideas policed, policy pre-cooked by private interests and presented as “inevitable.”
In this hollowing-out of govt, we face the danger of a politics so cowed by vested interests that it cannot stand up to them. And when that happens, it is the authoritarian right who reap the rewards.
People aren’t fooled. They can feel the country is being run for “them” not “us.” And unless Labour changes course - embracing pluralism, democracy and genuine debate - it will deliver power straight into Farage and Trump’s waiting hands.
Perhaps we’re in need of a bit of ‘Manchesterism’ - a different way of doing govt and one not afraid of giving control of public services to the very people that use and run them; Us!

INSIDE THE TONY BLAIR INSTITUTE with @LHreports, @PeterKGeoghegan and @maybulman Since 2021, Larry Ellison’s personal foundation – the Larry Ellison Foundation – has donated or pledged at least £257m to the Tony Blair Institute, making it a think tank like no other in the UK. Ellison donations have helped it grow to more than 900 staff, working in at least 45 countries. Speak to anyone close to Tony Blair and they will confirm his conviction in the revolutionary potential of AI. The former prime minister believes it will completely reshape the global economy in ways that political leaders the world over are only just starting to realise. But it is also the case that Ellison’s Oracle has major commercial interests at stake in the question of which companies get access to Britain’s most valuable data. In the course of our investigation into the TBI, we spoke to 29 current and former staff, most on condition of anonymity. While there is no suggestion of illegality, there are growing concerns about the extent to which the interests of a US tech billionaire are being represented by the former prime minister. Some TBI staff – including a number who left in recent years because of Ellison’s influence – say the cash injection has produced a culture that is dominated by a form of AI boosterism, and which, as they see it, amounts to lobbying for Oracle. The TBI, however, was welcomed by Keir Starmer’s Downing Street operation, which includes many figures with close connections to the former prime minister. Peter Kyle, an adviser in Blair’s second term, was appointed technology secretary and called on governments to show “a sense of humility” towards Big Tech companies. In an August 2024 paper on “preparing the NHS for the AI era”, TBI found “good reasons” for building new digital health records with an existing system run by Oracle.
