@Vitality_UK We are endlessly going backwards and forwards and getting nowhere

@johnsw Hi John! We're sorry to hear that you've faced difficulties with our email, we'll certainly feed this back to the team. If you still need help with your new plan, you can call the team directly on 0345 601 0072 and they'll be happy to help 😊

@Vitality_UK trying to interact with Vitality over a new life insurance policy is proving to be infuriating. Every response by email half answers the question asked or answers a previous question! It feels like we’re either talking to an AI or a random rotation of staff, all of whom aren’t really paying attention.

@peterrhague @GuidoFawkes Village of the damned

@GuidoFawkes Is he doing it telepathically?

Sam Carling is the youngest Labour MP to call for Keir Starmer to resign.

@DrNeilStone @ShannonJoyRadio Mildly positive is the best I can usually muster on a Monday

@ShannonJoyRadio I'm an Infectious Diseases doctor and I don't even know what that means

What in the hell is ‘mildly positive’ … ?

@AngelaRayner @pangramlabs ai?

Our party has suffered a historic defeat. Many good Labour colleagues have lost their seats despite working hard for those they represented. We have lost good Labour administrations and lost the chance for more. What we are doing isn’t working, and it needs to change. This may be our last chance. The Labour Party must now live up to our name: we must be the party of working people. We’ve heard the same on the doorstep as we’ve seen in the polls - the cost of living is the top issue for voters of all parties. People have turned to populists and nationalists because we have not done enough to fix it. Living standards are barely higher than they were a decade and a half ago. People feel hopeless - that the cost of living crisis will never end, and now they see oil and gas companies use global instability to post record profits. Once again, ordinary people are paying the price for decisions they didn’t make. It’s no wonder that across the UK, working people feel the system is rigged against them. Things can be so much better than this. Countries including Spain and Canada have shown that economies can grow and people can thrive when governments stay true to labour and social democratic values and put people first. We need to learn from that. In London, we lost young people who fear they will never afford a home. In my patch and across the north, we lost working people whose wages are too low and costs too high. In Scotland and Wales, people do not currently see Labour as the answer.  We are in danger of becoming a party of the well-off, not working people. The Peter Mandelson scandal showed a toxic culture of cronyism.  Decisions like cutting winter fuel allowance just weren’t what people expected from a Labour government. For too long, successive governments have allowed wealth and power to concentrate at the top without a plan to ensure the benefits of economic growth are shared fairly. The result is an economy that does not work for the majority, with wealth concentrated in too few hands. This level of inequality, alongside squeezed living standards, is the outcome of a model built on deregulation, privatisation, and trickle-down economics. But we have the chance to fix this.  1/2

@WillyWoofter We loved her for her teeth

Never knew of this iconic Madonna cover by the scouse kylie minogue, cilla black

@elonmusk By this logic, the DPRK is democratic

True

@its_The_Dr Looks like a fake video to me

@PookyD81 Alcoholic ribena. It’s what excessive taxes have reduced the British wine market to. A £10 bottle contains £2 wine.

This dog shit of a wine now has its own stand at the supermarket. If I see anyone I know buying some I will punch them in the face.

@levelsio It seems to have degraded over the years. I’ve all but given up trying to command it by voice.

My Alexa (in Europe) is so retarded, like literally half the things it doesn't understand or does wrong Like you say "Alexa play casa de bamba" and it starts playing casablanca by a Moroccan rapper? Dafuq? The model is so bad and outdated and it's not an LLM voice model like xAI or OpenAI etc have We can't use Alexa Plus (or whatever the AI thing they get in US which is in fact up to date) in EU cause anti-AI regulation Any Home Assistant solution I can get? Mic + speaker and beautiful, and then I can tie it to an actual voice LLM

@kitvolta RelentlessUpsellDaddy was taken

i still don’t understand why they named it GoDaddy

@Ed_Miliband You’ve made it worse with your energy policies

@bphillipsonMP Did you write this with AI?

These have been a very difficult set of elections. I’ve felt that in Sunderland. But the answer is not to turn inwards. It’s to take responsibility, come together & face up to the challenges ahead. Keir has won before, he can win again. We need to deliver change, not chaos.

@RachelReevesMP It’s your fault as much as Starmer’s. What ever happened to encouraging growth? You’re crushing it.

These are tough election results for Labour and I’m sorry to all of those colleagues who have lost their seats. Keir Starmer won a mandate to change our country. We must get on with delivering that mandate - and show how politics can improve people’s lives for the better.

@mpkratts @Galiciano83 @krassenstein @grok And fascism is right wing

@Galiciano83 @johnsw @krassenstein @grok Hey brainiac Hitler was inspired and based his whole idea of fascism and hi seizure of power around what Mussolini did in Italy in the 20’s.

Hey @grok was Hitler a socialist?

@jnieuwen @krassenstein @grok @grok was Mussolini left wing or right wing?

@johnsw @krassenstein @grok Mussolini was original a member of the italian communist party

In the UK we call this “The Morecambe”

@implausibleblog @UKLabour That’s all you have to say to this video?

@UKLabour Keir Starmer spoke for two days and ignored a British Muslim who was stabbed on the same day as the two British Jews were stabbed Does the Labour party have an Islamophobia problem?

This needs to be called out.

@Noahpinion And our world-class dentistry

@Noahpinion At least we still have our cuisine

Tired: Despite their excellent quality of life, Europeans are actually poorer than Americans Wired: British people are poorer than both Americans and Europeans, and have worse quality of life than either
