@rorymeakin Really intimidated or crying-performatively-on-social-media intimidated? (Your comment, not Dan's)
English
Don’t ban either. But they’re not the same. If foreigners feel intimidated by symbols of British nationhood (which is probably true and a big problem that they do) that is very different from marches flying utterly disgusting symbols like the current Iranian flag
(((Dan Hodges)))@DPJHodges
One thing on the pro-Palestine marches. If you accept they directly intimidate the Jewish community (which they do) then you must also acknowledge the Unite the Kingdom rallies have precisely the same effect on Muslim and other minority communities. We ban both, or neither.

@WatfordFC Ah, the comfort blanket of sacking the coach. The one thing we do really well.
English
Watford FC have this morning parted company with Head Coach Ed Still.
First Team Coach Karim Belhocine has also left the club.
We wish them all the best in their future endeavours.

Retarded ‘cars, cars, cars!’ boomerslop makes it very difficult to vote Reform in inner London for local elections
Laila Cunningham@policylaila
Family, Community, Country…and cars. Whether it’s blanket 20mph ,ULEZ or LTNs, people feel penalised just for driving, people don’t see safety they see a system that’s fleecing them! End the racket on May 7.

It's not at all obvious to me that antisemitism is just another hate and therefore that reducing general hatred will reduce antisemitism. Show your workings, Guardian

Every few weeks, today on account of the London Marathon, from now until autumn we get a little preview of how nice Parliament Sq will be when the GLA, Westminster council and Parliament agree who’s going to fund what of their agreed plan to pedestrianise the south and east sides

@heynavtoor Are HR departments in at-risk fields (accounting, sales and finance) going through rejected CVs by hand and training their AIs on the sifting it got wrong? If not, why not? Is "human in the loop" just a bit of jargon?
English
Researchers sent the same resume to an AI hiring tool twice. Same qualifications. Same experience. Same skills. One version was written by a real human. The other was rewritten by ChatGPT.
The AI picked the ChatGPT version 97.6% of the time.
A team from the University of Maryland, the National University of Singapore, and Ohio State just published the receipt. They took 2,245 real human-written resumes pulled from a professional resume site from before ChatGPT existed, so the human writing was actually human. Then they had seven of the most-used AI models in the world rewrite each one. GPT-4o. GPT-4o-mini. GPT-4-turbo. LLaMA 3.3-70B. Qwen 2.5-72B. DeepSeek-V3. Mistral-7B.
Then they asked each AI to pick the better resume. Every model picked itself.
GPT-4o hit 97.6%. LLaMA-3.3-70B hit 96.3%. Qwen-2.5-72B hit 95.9%. DeepSeek-V3 hit 95.5%. The real human almost never won.
Then the researchers tried the obvious objection. Maybe the AI is just better at writing. So they had real humans grade the resumes for actual quality and ran the experiment again, controlling for it. The result was worse. Each AI kept picking itself even when human judges rated the human-written version as clearer, more coherent, and more effective.
It gets worse. The AIs do not just prefer AI over humans. They prefer themselves over other AIs. DeepSeek-V3 picked its own resumes 69% more often than LLaMA's. GPT-4o picked its own 45% more often than LLaMA's. Each model can recognize and reward its own dialect.
Then the researchers ran the simulation that ends careers. Same job. 24 occupations. Same qualifications. The only variable was whether the candidate used the same AI as the screening tool. Candidates using that AI were 23% to 60% more likely to be shortlisted. Worst gap was in sales, accounting, and finance.
99% of large companies now run AI on incoming resumes. Most of them use GPT-4o. The paper just proved GPT-4o picks GPT-4o 97.6% of the time.
If you wrote your own cover letter this week, you did not lose to a better candidate. You lost to a worse candidate who paid OpenAI 20 dollars.
Your qualifications do not matter if the AI prefers its own handwriting over yours.

@godbole_shilpa @JasonFitz1 Not to derail the main point, but hasn't Tim Peake also done both?

This should make fellow runners feel a little better about ourselves.
After completing the Boston Marathon (42.195 km), Sunita Williams remarked that going to space is easier than running a marathon.
Honestly, we have to take her word for it as she’s the only person who’s run a full marathon both in space (on a treadmill) & here on terra firma.

@rorymeakin It's cowardice. If you want to ban smoking, do it. In practice, a future government will be forced to repeal or ban. They won't be able to sit around while smoking is legal but the market is too tiny to support selling & distribution
English
Whether an adult wants to smoke or buy a fag is of no legitimate business of this MP or any other little Hitler in parliament
English
This is not just absolutely disgusting in its illiberalism. The policy is also a disgusting way to create two tiers of adulthood based on whether adults are born before or after a fixed date.
And the attempt to excuse these facts in the tweet is just contemptible, too
Luke Charters MP@lukejcr
Ridiculous. Risible. Nonsense. 🚭 I mean “two-tier adulthood” about stopping smoking… are they for real? Age-based rules aren’t some new illiberal experiment. They’re how policy can save lives. But sure. Countries around the world already accept them for driving, alcohol, and plenty else. But of course the ASI miss that little fact out. You see, what’s different here is the harm smoking causes and how the law is implemented. Because it is LITERALLY about not exposing future generations to smoking. The WHO is clear. There’s no safe level of tobacco use, and it kills over 8 million people a year. The ONS also puts smoking deaths at around 75,000 annually in the UK. A “smoke-free generation” isn’t about taking rights away, it’s to stop people starting in the first place. Got it? Research from ASH has found most smokers actually start before they are 18. Also, literally anyone in touch with the real world knows that’s true. Another simple fact? You can’t get addicted to something you’ve never started. Something many smokers themselves say they wish had been the case. And it works. Countries pushing harder like Sweden, New Zealand now have much lower smoking rates than the UK, with clear health benefits to match. TLDR: it’s not “two-tier adulthood”. It’s basic, evidence-led policy aimed at the biggest preventable killer we’ve got. Ta👍

@chris_spencer04 @London_FCA @DanNeidle @david_hollas @nw_nicholas @CharlieNotOld @AxoAndy @OneFinanceGuy The motivation is to hide the P&L account. The accounts are still audited, you just don't get the full audit report.
English
@nairobiny @London_FCA @DanNeidle @david_hollas @nw_nicholas @CharlieNotOld @AxoAndy @OneFinanceGuy Thank you! I'm just wondering what the motivation would be to file the accounts as unaudited, when you have paid for an audit and have your audited accounts ready to go..
English
Another interesting error in the reform 2025 ltd accounts.
-The notes to the 2023 accounts show that £200k of the loan was repaid to Tisun in June 24
- In the 2024 accounts they have copied over the same note w/o updating it.
- the note should have said that in Jan 25 £270k was repaid and £613k converted into a donation.
-was this a lack of care/ competence or a deliberate omission? 😕
Chris S@chris_spencer04
The latest accounts for Tisun investments ( to Dec 24) show a £883k loan to a company with a common director. - this company is Reform. You can see the opposite side in their accounts, also to Dec 24 - after the filling date £613k of this loan was converted into a donation.

@chris_spencer04 @London_FCA @DanNeidle @david_hollas @nw_nicholas @CharlieNotOld @AxoAndy @OneFinanceGuy The audit report on the Electoral Commission website is interesting. The audit report says an audit was performed in accordance with ISAs (UK) but the report omits the disclosures on going concern as required by ISA (UK) 700. The whole section is missing!
English
@chris_spencer04 @London_FCA @DanNeidle @david_hollas @nw_nicholas @CharlieNotOld @AxoAndy @OneFinanceGuy Small companies can, for the time being, file "filleted" accounts at Companies House. These omit certain bits of information. Filleted accounts do not typically contain the full audit report but must disclose the opinion and the name and firm of the senior statutory auditor.
English
@DanNeidle @chris_spencer04 @david_hollas @nw_nicholas @CharlieNotOld @AxoAndy @OneFinanceGuy No, the Reform 2025 Ltd 2024 accounts *are* audited. It's on the cover and there's a note.
English
@nairobiny @chris_spencer04 @david_hollas @nw_nicholas @CharlieNotOld @AxoAndy @OneFinanceGuy They aren’t audited.
English
@DanNeidle @chris_spencer04 @david_hollas @nw_nicholas @CharlieNotOld @AxoAndy @OneFinanceGuy Agreed. However, let's not overlook that these accounts are audited. Information about PBSEs, especially around related parties, are vital to accounts giving a true and fair view

@chris_spencer04 @david_hollas @nw_nicholas @CharlieNotOld @AxoAndy @OneFinanceGuy I think it’s just poor quality.

What's the purpose of the government vetting service except to communicate its vetting decision to the person with the authority to make the appointment? Consequently, it's simply not credible that Sir Keir Starmer was not told theguardian.com/politics/2026/…

This suggests £10 billion of cocaine was consumed last year. That's a gigantic market controlled entirely by criminals.
Matt Ashby@LessCrime
According to this analysis of drugs in sewage (yes, that's a thing), we're (🏴) using more cocaine, ketamine and ecstasy (both tripled in 5 years), but less heroin. This analysts estimates we consume the equivalent of 132 tonnes of pure cocaine each year. gov.uk/government/pub…

@DanNeidle Why seek to encourage people to use fixed term cash savings accounts and then withdraw early from them?
English
A real gotcha:
Someone withdrew money early from a NatWest fixed-term savings account. NatWest applied an early closure charge of 90 days interest.
So they didn't receive 90 days-worth of interest. But they were still taxed on it!
Whose fault? And how can we fix this?
