Labour's problems are bigger than Keir Starmer
I think Keir Starmer would see the AI-pocalypse as a welcome distraction.
In the darkest corners of the internet, one can still find a dwindling minority of deluded fools still backing Starmer.
I'm no fan of Cole but he's spot on with this

A single disparaging comment from Trump to the press was all it took for Starmer to start backtracking on the Chagos deal – there's your "fanboy" right there.
More embarrassing cope from Freedland, how anyone can take him seriously is beyond me.
Freedland is a deluded crank, how anyone can take him seriously is beyond me. A single disparaging comment from Trump to the press was all it took for Starmer to start backing off on the Chagos deal – how's that for a simpering "fanboy"?
Good doggy
Let him be. He's doing an excellent job destroying the Labour Party. As the old saying goes, never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.
Andy Burnham is the candidate for people who think the government should ease off the accelerator when it comes to stuff like austerity and NHS privatisation... not stop it, just slightly ease off...
Supported the invasion of Iraq, supported NHS privatisation, a member of Labour Friends of Israel... when will you people ever learn.
Yesterday’s announcement that there will be no new US tariffs on Europe is positive.
At the same time, the EU will continue to stand up for its interests and will defend itself, its member states, its citizens and its companies, against any form of coercion.

This week made one thing urgent: the need for a stronger and more autonomous Europe.
While cooler heads have prevailed, our position on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Denmark and Greenland has not budged.

A global map illustrating anomalies and extremes in surface air temperature for 2025, compared to the reference period 1991-2020. The map uses a color scale from blue to red, where blue indicates cooler than average temperatures and red indicates warmer than average temperatures, with darker shades representing more extreme deviations. The map highlights significant warming across most regions, especially in the northern hemisphere, with some areas showing near average or slightly cooler temperatures. The image is provided by the Climate Change Service, with logos of the European Commission and Copernicus at the bottom.
This year, we will present a new European Framework for climate resilience and risk management.
