If Sunak wants to base his fightback on the prospect of a hung parliament, he should do so. But he's going to be met by presenters telling him he's over 20 points behind in the polls. He will look an absolute tool. But then that's never stopped him before.

“That Sunak has put his name to this bollocks is utterly demeaning. He really is a totally empty vessel.” huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/rishi-su…

Just an absolutely incredible amount of bullshit being talked about the results today. Astonishing quantities, on an industrial scale.

If you are worried about

Benefit Fraud £0.5bn but not Government Corruption £219bn.

Immigration £2bn but not Tax Havens £150bn.

Junior Doctors pay rises £1.3bn but not Bankers tax cuts £7.3bn.

You‘re buying their lies.

Deirdre Heenan I agree entirely. She is a crank.

Braverman perfectly identifies what she's part of through her insults. 'A rabble of maniacs'. It's called projection.

Clickbait. Boosting bullshit. Reward for extremism. It made Farage. It is making her. Minority voices given way too much airtime. Have they looked at viewing figures recently? If the smaller progressive parties got the same attention as the right wing extremists this would be a…

Westminster bubble “journalists” (aka the courtiers, narcissists, shy fascists and stone-cold psychopaths who tell us what matters in UK politics) will always care more about the Tories than any other party because Tory ideology is from where they derive their power & status.

Either way, he's not made decisions that support a rich information ecosystem.

Hayloft Books/Robertson/Donnachaidh 🇪🇺 💚 EuropeanPowell wendymoody #FBPE 💙 @[email protected] Meanwhile, though, a real threat is AI. What happens when you can no longer distinguish between authentic posts and ones generated by large language models? I think we're on the cusp of that now. Essentially, it becomes ever harder to actually connect with authentic humans.

Rumours yesterday:

“The Muslims stayed at home, didn’t vote for Khan”
“It’s on a knife edge with Hall”

Reality today:

Khan = gets elected with a bigger amount of votes than last time.
Hall = gets fewer votes than the previous Tory candidate in 2021.

If you're a plasterer doing a bit of cash in hand, you're a criminal tax evader. If you're a near billionaire with ten properties including a £20m flat, you're a non-dom. Simples.

I've been trying to track someone down who I know lives locally. I know has an X account. Searches revealed nothing relevant.

Yesterday met him in the flesh—he even mentioned he was on X! Yet my search results simply omitted him, even though we follow each other!
