Lib Dem proposal for proportional representation system for UK elections is passed by 137 votes to 135 with some Labour backbench support. 50 Labour MPs also opposed. Now the Labour leadership needs to be pushed to table a Bill and make it a reality. theguardian.com/politics/2024/…

One thing I worry about with AI is that it is very good at persuasion, as studies have shown, even when it is persuading you of something wrong. For example, I asked Claude to create 10 pseudo-profound sounding leadership lessons that sounded good but were toxic. It did "well"😬

Ian Hislop, "Farmers didn't pay inheritance tax at all, and now they're going to pay half of what everybody else pays.. And the limits they set on them are really pretty high" "So it's meant to stop wealthy landowners buying lots of land in order to avoid taxes" "People who come to mind.. Jeremy Clarkson who originally bought his farm in order to avoid paying any tax on it" "Who has now become the champion of the small farmer who is probably not going to get hit by this, and is going to end up worse off for lots of other reasons" Victroia Derbyshire, "Why are you here?" Jeremy Clarkson, "I'm here to support farmers" VD, "So it's not about you and the fact that you bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax?" JC, "Classic BBC.. It's not the fact that I bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax" VD, "You told the Sunday Times in 2021 that's why you bought it" JC shakes his head Ian Hislop, "It's not as though he doesn't have any history with the Beeb, she's quite lucky he didn't punch her in the face with cold food"

Who is gonna tell them ? Donald Trump has appointed Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to a non-existent cabinet position. They are both appointed to head up the DOGE. The DOGE is supposedly the Dept. Of Government Efficiency but in reality it does not exist. There are no employees and Musk and Ramaswamy have no power all. Did Trump pull a fast one on Musk and Ramaswamy? It sure looks like it. Appointed to a non existent pseudo cabinet position means zilch. Wonder how long it will take for Musk and Ramaswamy to realize they ,like millions of Trump voters have been duped by Donald Trump ? #DemVoice1 #DemsUnited #ProudBlue

@RichardDawkins Musk? You think so? See The Sovereign Individual for the “playbook” which he and other oligarchs are following.

I take (possibly forlorn) hope in the fact that although Trump is a mendacious, malevolent, transparently evil man, and stupid with it, Musk is not. He is highly intelligent and, diametrically opposed to Trump, he has the welfare of the world at heart. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

@michae1mouse That 6.3% might have been Peter Gyllenhammar exiting? I believe there needs to be 25+% voting shareholders to guarantee the failure of a resolution to go with the high risk and cash draining "Transformation" proposition. All just IMHO

What happened last time? Recommended easy but frightening reading - "The Fifth Risk". Michael Lewis describes the naïve and chaotic post election transition by Trump's team. The damage and danger caused by underestimating how complicated government is.amazon.co.uk/Fifth-Risk-Und…

@peterjukes If Trump dies or is killed then JD Vance might be even worse for Americans and the world. It seemed that the supporters interviewed on R4 last night were describing a fantasy Trump.

If it’s any ray of hope for my US friends, we felt a bit like this in 2019 when Boris Johnson won an election on the back of lies and unlawfulness. But three years later he was gone. And this year a landslide against his party The people who voted for Trump will be hurt by him
Peter Jukes@peterjukes

The thing I always forget is that lies, fear and hate can succeed in the short term But what the populists forget is that they can’t solve anything, and always fail in the long term

Once more, with feeling. The BBC should not leave it to guests to reveal who funds the organisations the other guests work for. This is what its own editorial guidelines say.

So of the 1730 farms that claimed APR, 200-250 farms would now have to pay some IHT. That's between 12 & 14% of farms. 86-88% of farms would still pay no IHT under the new rules. The bulk of the new IHT liabilities would fall on very large farms/estates, not "family farms". 5/7

I’m not going to retweet Honest Bob Jenrick’s latest desperate grift. Suffice to say that stoking conspiracy theories about live criminal cases is potentially a contempt of court. And any politician who saw the summer’s violence and behaves like this is unfit for office.

I'm in the Water Bill debate and although I'm engaging, putting amendments down to improve the Bill, I am extremely disappointed that @10DowningStreet has refused to consider public ownership. Various polls suggest it would be a very popular move. But @UKLabour isn't listening.

Looks like a newspaper owned by the Fourth Lord Rothermere, who inherited it from the Third Lord Rothermere, who inherited it from the Second Lord Rothermere, who inherited it from the First Lord Rothermere, is bitterly opposed to Labour's plans for inheritance tax

#Gaza : another night of horror in the middle areas. Tents up in flames due to an airstrike on the courtyard of Al Aqsa hospital where people sought shelter. Meanwhile, in the same area, an @UNRWA school was hit with 20 people reported killed. The school was planned to be used for the #polio vaccination campaign which started today. We had to cancel the vaccination campaign in that school due to severe damage. #Gaza is a never ending hell. All of this must not become the new norm. Humanity must prevail.
