Tragically for the baby in the womb, by 185 votes to 148 votes, @UKHouseofLords rejected @MoncktonR Baroness Monckton's, amendment to overturn the new extreme clause allowing self administered home abortions up to birth. Peers also rejected by 191 votes to 119 votes Baroness Stroud's amendment to reinstate in-person consultations with a medical professional, prior to an abortion taking place at home. So, a bad day for vulnerable women, a bad day for the unborn child, a bad day for medical ethics and a bad day for the sanctity of human life. Nevertheless, both in @UKParliament , and in public polling, people have been reassessing and rejecting laws that have led to the ending of one UK life every two minutes -300,000 every year. In 1967, when abortion was made legal, just 29 MPs voted pro life- so, opposition has grown. But, bad laws will only change when the public push the right to life up the political agenda.

“The deepest irony: you spent years proving you were human. By doing exactly the kind of visual recognition work that AI could not do yet. The work that, once learned, made human visual annotation unnecessary. You proved you were human. By making yourself replaceable.”

'Parents don't realise that nurseries are day orphanages and warehouses for their children' Child psychotherapist Erica Komisar says parents are being bullied and misled into believing that daycare is good for their children, aruging that nurseries are effectively 'day orphanages' that cannot provides babies with the same safety and security provided by their parents. @EricaKomisarCSW @NatashaFeroze

This is wild. 143 million people thought they were catching Pokémon. They were actually building one of the largest real-world visual datasets in AI history. Niantic just disclosed that photos and AR scans collected through Pokémon Go have produced a dataset of over 30 billion real-world images. The company is now using that data to power visual navigation AI for delivery robots. Players didn't just walk around with their phones. They scanned landmarks, storefronts, parks, and sidewalks from every angle, at every time of day, in lighting and weather conditions that staged photography would never capture. They documented the physical world at a scale no mapping company with a fleet of vehicles could have replicated on the same timeline or budget. Niantic collected this systematically, data point by data point, across eight years, while users thought the only thing at stake was catching a rare Charizard. The most valuable AI training datasets in the world aren't being assembled in data centers. They're being built by people who have no idea they're building them.

What an absolutely refreshingly brilliant educator who clearly deserves every letter of her CBE. I wish there were more like her. Children are children. 25% population yet 100% of our future. Bravo 🙌

I see some weird things but this takes the biscuit. A vulnerability in the Companies House website, that let anyone view the private dashboard of any one of the five million registered companies, see directors' personal details. And modify them.

Britain's net zero national suicide pact is about to kill off another great British (and great Derbyshire) company. Denby Pottery @denbypottery goes into administration because of "soaring industrial energy costs" and of course "escalating costs of employment in the UK". itv.com/news/central/2…

@LeeAlanHall i'll bet you a hippo that it doesn't happen

I wonder how long it will be before British wildlife is deemed not inclusive enough and replaced with world wildlife.

The removal of the remaining hereditary peers from the House of Lords is a profound mistake for British governance. Hereditary peers have long had a deep, vested interest in the long-term success and stability of the United Kingdom. Their titles, estates, and family legacies are tied directly to the nation's prosperity, generations of stewardship mean they think in centuries, not election cycles. They often bring independence from party whips, a sense of duty rooted in tradition, and expertise on issues like land management, rural affairs, heritage, and even niche campaigns (e.g., environmental causes or public health) that might otherwise be overlooked. Replacing them with yet more political appointees, chosen by whichever government holds power, only accelerates the Lords' slide into a chamber of patronage and short-term partisanship. We've already seen the House swell beyond sensible limits through unchecked prime ministerial nominations, rewarding donors, allies, and "cronies" rather than independent voices. Without the hereditary element's counterbalance, the second chamber risks becoming even more of an echo chamber for the government of the day, eroding the revising, scrutinizing role that makes it valuable. This isn't about defending privilege, it is about preserving a unique source of non-partisan wisdom in our constitution. Kicking out those with skin in the game's long-term health for more appointed politicians is a step backward for thoughtful, enduring governance.

More misinformation from the government. We need to recruit dentists from overseas because we have a huge shortage! When actually … Every year in the UK, there are only about 1,100 dental school places. With THOUSANDS of applicants competing for them e.g, Sheffield had 1,250ish applications for just 71 places, and King’s College London receives over 1,000 ish applications for 120 places. Yes, the answer is slapping you in the face.

Ok so in the news this week it's quite clear the UK is undergoing a Cultural Revolution. The Chinese Cultural Revolution attacked "The 4 Olds" in an attempt to destroy the past. The UK is no different. The 4 Olds of the UK: 1. Old History - removal of historic figures from banknotes 2. Old Legal Rights - Removal of Jury Trials 3. Old Government - Removal of Hereditary Peers 4. Old Alliances - Destroying alliances across Europe, the Middle East and with the US to avoid upsetting "communities" in a handful of constituencies.

NEW EPISODE: The Case for Traditional Education: Helping British Children Thrive Britain's strictest headmistress, Katharine Birbalsingh CBE (@Miss_Snuffy), tells @LeeAlanHall that it's time to ditch progressive teaching and go back to basics: firm discipline, structure, respect for authority, and clear rules. She says her school Michaela is real-world evidence that a strict, no-nonsense approach delivers outstanding results even in deprived areas. Katharine calls for a full ban on social media for kids, as well as a strict limiting of electronic device access for children, due to the damaging impact. Finally, she emphasises that real courage is required from educators and leaders to embrace these proven traditional methods and truly help Britain's children.

🚨BREAKING: MPs have rejected a proposed ban on social media for under-16s, with the Commons voting 307 to 173 (majority of 134) against the age limit

BREAKING 🅱️: Major shift just dropped. The U.S. government says foreign aid will now go straight to national governments, not routed through NGOs anymore. The logic is blunt: if the goal is to help a country, fund the country — not middlemen turning aid into their next business model. Do you support this? YES or NO?
