Anyone even vaguely acquainted with safeguarding issues will know this is a disaster.

generative AI is an affront to human dignity, crushes creativity and art, destroys the environment, and upholds tyranny. using generative AI for trends, or cutting past doable tasks in order to avoid thinking, is not only stupid but sinful.

Morgan McSweeney and his downfall reveal what the Starmer project always was.

A project defined by kneeling before wealth, seeking power for its own sake, ridding Labour of any principle or morality.

It is an irredeemably corrupt project which was always doomed.

if you're taking a few references to satanism, rather than the millions of references to the rich and powerful, to be the most important thing in the epstein files, you’re on the side of the systems and institutions which will continue to perpetuate suffering and abuse until they are converted.

evangelicals keep posting threads about epstein & satanism and actually it's just the capitalist system that relies on forcing us to abuse and predate on each other, and so allows for microcosms of cruelty and evil where human selfishness can be unfettered at the expense of the most vulnerable.

Times report: Allies of Rayner said they believed that Wes Streeting, the health secretary, would be β€œruined” by the mass disclosure of all communications with Mandelson in coming months. Streeting and Mandelson were close allies for years.

In these dark days of February, a little something to look forward to.

perhaps he should have grappled with his β€œconscious” when he decided to appoint the close friend of a notorious paedophile on the merit that he was able to destroy jeremy corbyn…

There might be a case to say the Premier League just make things up as they go along...

Everton Β£19.5m breach - 10 points

Leicester City Β£20.8m breach - 6 points

Nottingham Forest Β£34.5m breach - 4 points

Admittedly I’m in a unique context in an academic environment and a city wherein the two anglo-catholic parishes are very traditional liturgically, both affirm women’s ordination and welcome queer people. So i’m quite comfortable using certain terms in that context.

it’s going to get even worse when they come third (maximum) in gorton and denton.

Yes I am aware. I’m not sure of any other way to make the distinction clear, however.

idk, i tend not to identify myself as protestant, as an anglo-catholic. i’m much more likely to call myself Catholic, and i always refer to Roman Catholics specifically so as not to cause confusion. obviously a relatively minor issue.

Palestine Action protesters not guilty of defence firm burglary The group are cleared of aggravated burglary over the alleged raid at an Elbit Systems warehouse.

Pleased to see the jury make this decision.

We need to have eyes wide open this is exactly why the Government wants to abolish juries.

People protesting against a genocide are not the criminals here - it's the politicians who continue to provide cover.

Is Mandelson's real sin that he gave confidential information to Epstein? Or that he got caught doing what so many do? Why do Ministers sell access to business people for huge 'donations'?

Karin Smyth blusters, obfuscates, deflects and distracts when asked why Peter Mandelson isn't having his peerage stripped.

Its really difficult to do, apparently.

I'm old enough to remember when Keir Starmer promised to abolish the entire House of Lords. How's that going?

The time Mick Lynch called the Lab candidate in Islington North "a private health profiteer" & Mandelson told him thats a nasty & disgraceful thing to say & a complete untruth

The host then interjects "he's an entrepreneur who's made money in private healthcare"

Mick: "Exactly"

the epstein scandal is also proof that you physically cannot have that much money and be a good person. a system which concentrates so much wealth and power in the hands of the few is built on predation & abuse. capitalism relies on our base instinct to hurt one another for our own advantage.

once again, not a modicum of moral consistency or integrity from the so-called β€˜Christian right’, whose politics were always about self-service, deceit, and the worship of power, rather than truth, justice, and discipleship.

let me get this straight: we have absolute proof that every powerful politician and businessman of the last 30 years has been prolifically abusing children, and not a word from the β€œprotect our children” brigade? the threat was never immigrants, or muslims, or trans people. it was our ruling class.

This is so disingenuous.

They are disappearing your people NOW.

GTFO with your fake toughness and inaction.

Those words aren’t saving anyone in Maine right now, grandma.
