@gavinesler Not even a hundred from my count!

@leopoldasch Where can I find a copy of your Essay Leopold?

Virtually nobody is pricing in what's coming in AI. I wrote an essay series on the AGI strategic picture: from the trendlines in deep learning and counting the OOMs, to the international situation and The Project. SITUATIONAL AWARENESS: The Decade Ahead

@JamesCleverly @RUSI_org @TerrorismPolice You might want to focus on UK Borderforce . Systems chaos...Gar du Nord, Paris...

Great to speak yesterday in support of our candidate for INTERPOL @SKavanaghLyon, this year’s speaker at @RUSI_org security lecture on global crime. I’ve worked with him for many years whilst he was Chief Constable for Essex Police & @TerrorismPolice and he has my full backing.

@JamesCleverly Scenes from Gar du Nord, Paris

@JamesCleverly What is going on with UK Passport system? Huge queues and delays at Gar du Nord in Paris.

What is going on! Uk Passport system problem at Gar du Nord... 2 hour queues

@Peston 11

@Jacob_Rees_Mogg What nonsense.

Net zero will make us cold, poor and immobile. The ban on petrol cars should go. telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/05/0…

@Peston @SuellaBraverman @bbclaurak And of course she has had no part in the melt down, @BorisJohnson ... @RishiSunak is left to attempt to recover from a failed regime and now is getting grief from all over his party, who somehow think that a lurch to the right will make them more votable....laughable

“He needs to own this [election flop] and therefore he needs to fix it…Our voters are on strike”. @SuellaBraverman tells @bbclaurak it is too late to change the party’s leader and so he has to change his priorities. “At this rate we’ll be lucky to have any Conservative MPs after the next election”. She savages Sunak for all his policy priorities, and says she regrets supporting him

War only ever ends with peace. If supporting war isn't in your name, give this a RT, it's time to give peace a chance. #NotInMyName

@mrjamesob Well said James.

Once again, the BBC holds itself to higher standards than any other media organisation. And once again they will get pummelled by people who want the ‘news’ to reflect their preconceived notions.

@AubergeBrocket Thanks for hosting our celebration last evening. Great food and service in an lovely setting.

@SA85_786 @ahmedyousafzaii @BarackObama @StatistaCharts True?

@ahmedyousafzaii @BarackObama Disgusting!!!

All Americans should be horrified and outraged by the brazen terrorist attacks on Israel and the slaughter of innocent civilians. We grieve for those who died, pray for the safe return of those who’ve been held hostage, and stand squarely alongside our ally, Israel, as it dismantles Hamas. As we support Israel’s right to defend itself against terror, we must keep striving for a just and lasting peace for Israelis and Palestinians alike.

@ahmedyousafzaii @SA85_786 @BarackObama @elonmusk True or false?

@EmilyThornberry We need 'truth' legislation for politicians. Their words have more weight for many in Society and to tell stories like this is a mis-truth.

1. A Tory lie

@JohnSimpsonNews @RoryStewartUK Brilliant... :-)

Once met a British oil exec in Lagos. The day before, he’d been to a disastrous party at a top minister’s house. The invitation said ‘Fancy dress compulsory’. He had no fancy dress, but was an enthusiastic scuba diver and by chance had his gear with him. He dressed up, took a cab to the house, rather surprising the driver, squelched up the drive in wet-suit, mask & fins, climbed the steps, and found himself in the midst of the party. All the men were wearing dinner jackets, since in Nigeria ‘fancy dress’ means ‘black tie’. He fled back down the drive and understandably had problems getting a cab to take him back to his hotel.

@RoryStewartUK It's time for a Social Capitalist party Rory. We dont need right-left politics anymore. We need people to run the country with competence and common sense.

Deeply disturbing. All you need to know about the new right wing populism in the Conservative Party summed up in a smile from a former Home Secretary + applause as she attacks “the establishment…,the Brexit-bashing, free speech deniers at the BBC”.

@Peston And have discouraged investment by companies... fundamentally government needs to address skills and labour shortages to bring supply and demand of labour back into balance.

With falling gas and electricity prices and a slight slowing (slight) in food-price inflation driving the fall in headline inflation from 7.9% to 6.8%, it is difficult to see how the rise in interest rates is having any significant dampening effect on price rises. So-called core inflation is unchanged at a high 6.9% and services inflation ROSE from 7.2% to 7.4%. The Bank of England will again have to put interest rates up in September, unless it has access to more up-to-date data that somehow proves that pay rises that on average are higher than inflation are now slowing. But it will have the biggest challenge to explain why interest rate rises of more than 4% have so far had so little impact, despite causing huge pain to hundreds of thousands of mortgage holders and other borrowers. This is perhaps the biggest credibility test it has faced.

@grantshapps @Keir_Starmer Pathetic. Grow up.

I’ve written to @Keir_Starmer to request he pays for the criminal damage the Just Stop Oil attacks on the Energy Security Department caused this morning As the political wing of Just Stop Oil, it is the Labour Party not the taxpayer that should be paying the bill

@summitscaffold @RichardJMurphy Fair points, but is this about governments or our system? Would any government (elected by us) have walked away from helping Ukriane or been even more draconian than the current regime on immigration? We elect them and they Mke the decisions...is it our fault?

@AndrewMawson @RichardJMurphy You say stuff has to get paid for? But we are funding a pointless american proxy war in ukrain, we have imigration at record levels, these are things that are major burden to our economy, not even starting on the scamdemic, and the test and trace and so on!

Just when we need more taxes on wealth and the income from wealth the Tories are discussing scrapping inheritance tax. You could not make such stupidity up.
