@CroneThe86880 @Phillip_Blond @Keir_Starmer Will pair nicely with the chip on his shoulder

@Phillip_Blond @Keir_Starmer He wants everyone to be able to afford sausages.

I found one aspect of @Keir_Starmer speech really rather moving - he deeply feels, recognises and hates social stigma & the pervasive class penalty in our society and its clearly impacted on him and his family. Removing such is the motivating force of his politics - this is a noble and worthy aim. I am on @GBNEWS tonight at 7 to discuss this and Labour’s message

@IslingtonChap was it English though?

“Sausages” 🤣. The Prime Minister may have made a gaffe, but even his harshest critics must concede that it was a deeply British one.

@chesterwriter @FUDdaily Is it not the back of a lorry?

@FUDdaily "Packed" doing a lot of heavy lifting there? Like putting three or four people into a wardrobe and then celebrating the fact it's "packed"? 🤣

Hate to break this to you but there will never be "community cohesion" when the state is dumping third world parasites on struggling working class communities.

@david_perell I really hate this kind of stuff. Midwits obsess over it and think they're going to get a standard deviation of IQ higher.

Sam Altman's spent years refining his note-taking process. Here's exactly what he does.

@Mr_John_Oxley Arent' they also introducing mandatory anti-terror training that anywhere with ~>100 people attending will have to complete. Again, an utterly useless burden that just ticks a box that they've just created

@etbadabimbim @phl43 Well yes, better self-control allows you to earn more money and buy better healthcare and food. A better explanation is just that you have to walk more in London.

@udimonist @phl43 In general upper classes have more self-control, access to better health and food

I just arrived in London and, looking at people’s clothes, makeup, etc., I’m once again reminded of the dreadful vulgarity of the Anglos. I don’t know if it was always so or if that’s a more recent affliction.

@etbadabimbim @phl43 Less so in London than the rest of the country

@phl43 And also the overweight and obese are far more numerous

@fvgriss @tomowenmorgan I love how the video is about total reduction of stimulation and the whole thing is abrupt cuts and background music

@tomowenmorgan Hm yeah I remember being very surprised when I learned that multiple days of darkness can have the same effects as some hallucinogens youtu.be/qK3zxIuJYyc?si…

“Incubation”, or extended time in darkness, was a ubiquitous healing technology for over a thousand years. Now we barely mention it. Interesting?

@ArchRose90 Confirmation bias is a bitch

The “sensible” centrist mindset: Sunak meeting Meloni = Bad! Starmer meeting Meloni = “4D chess stuff. His best move since becoming PM.”

@NJ_Timothy They must be asking for this data at some point during the application process?

I asked DWP to publish benefit claimant data by nationality. This was the answer. When other European governments are researching the fiscal and social effects of immigration, the British state is doing its best to look the other way. questions-statements.parliament.uk/written-questi…

@antoniogm Probably not for being a clown but for being male

If you translate all the “voulez-vous” verbosity to English, dude got fired.

@PolemicTMM I'd like to see them personally responsible for infrastructure cost overruns too

UK early prison release. Idea - Those politicians responsible for early release have to bear the same sentence that any reoffending incurs, should it happen before the original release date.

@patrickc The people at the top of the EU need replacing but it's impossible to do so

Mario Draghi's new report on EU competitiveness doesn't mince words. "Across different metrics, a wide gap in GDP has opened up between the EU and the US, driven mainly by a more pronounced slowdown in productivity growth in Europe. Europe’s households have paid the price in foregone living standards. On a per capita basis, real disposable income has grown almost twice as much in the US as in the EU since 2000." "First – and most importantly – Europe must profoundly refocus its collective efforts on closing the innovation gap with the US and China, especially in advanced technologies. Europe is stuck in a static industrial structure with few new companies rising up to disrupt existing industries or develop new growth engines. In fact, there is no EU company with a market capitalisation over EUR 100 billion that has been set up from scratch in the last fifty years, while all six US companies with a valuation above EUR 1 trillion have been created in this period. This lack of dynamism is self-fulfilling." "There are not enough academic institutions achieving top levels of excellence and the pipeline from innovation into commercialisation is weak. [...] However, while the EU boasts a strong university system on average, not enough universities and research institutions are at the top. Using volume of publications in top academic science journals as an indicative metric, the EU has only three research institutions ranked among the top 50 globally, whereas the US has 21 and China 15." "Regulatory barriers to scaling up are particularly onerous in the tech sector, especially for young companies. Regulatory barriers constrain growth in several ways. First, complex and costly procedures across fragmented national systems discourage inventors from filing Intellectual Property Rights (IPRs), hindering young companies from leveraging the Single Market. Second, the EU’s regulatory stance towards tech companies hampers innovation: the EU now has around 100 tech-focused laws and over 270 regulators active in digital networks across all Member States. Many EU laws take a precautionary approach, dictating specific business practices ex ante to avert potential risks ex post. For example, the AI Act imposes additional regulatory requirements on general purpose AI models that exceed a pre-defined threshold of computational power – a threshold which some state-of-the-art models already exceed. Third, digital companies are deterred from doing business across the EU via subsidiaries, as they face heterogeneous requirements, a proliferation of regulatory agencies and “gold plating” of EU legislation by national authorities. Fourth, limitations on data storing and processing create high compliance costs and hinder the creation of large, integrated data sets for training AI models. This fragmentation puts EU companies at a disadvantage relative to the US, which relies on the private sector to build vast data sets, and China, which can leverage its central institutions for data aggregation. This problem is compounded by EU competition enforcement possibly inhibiting intra-industry cooperation. Finally, multiple different national rules in public procurement generate high ongoing costs for cloud providers. The net effect of this burden of regulation is that only larger companies – which are often non-EU based – have the financial capacity and incentive to bear the costs of complying. Young innovative tech companies may choose not to operate in the EU at all." More: commission.europa.eu/document/downl….

@PositivFuturist @GaiusBaltar18 Maybe that's where they want 90% of our attention to be?

@si_rubinstein Would inevitably end up being the Trussell Trust, the Rowntree Foundation, quangos etc

My ideal Lords reform, preserving oligarchic element while abolishing aristocracy& cronyism: right to sit should be tied to other jobs (as already with the bishops). FTSE 100 CEOs, Regius profs at Oxbridge, union chiefs, livery masters &c. should be ex officio Lords.

@eamonnives @TenThinkTank can you do this for crime too?

🚨 Today @tenthinktank publishes my favourite report of the year – where we take a look at the founders behind Britain’s fastest-growing companies. Our headline stat speaks for itself – of this year’s Top 100 companies, no fewer than 39% have a foreign-born founder… 🧶

@screwlabour We're so unserious

@FT Why that photo?

@Superspurs131 He should shove it where the sun don't shine

Ain’t no way this fucker is winning the league 🤣

@AlecStapp Should this show the medieval warm period?

Japan has been collecting data on the date of peak cherry tree blossom since 812 See if you can spot climate change...
