Farage can u-turn now, but when the call needed to be made he was 100% all in on doing Trump's bidding. He would have had UK servicemen and women following plans developed by pumped-up war criminals like Hegseth. That was the judgement Farage made before he saw the polling. That's what matters.
I don’t mean to sound harsh or cold, but I am, so that’s how it comes out
But I wouldn’t mind a summary of this pairs’ voting history to see how their “proud Brit” stacks up vs how gutted British embassies are now
We spent £10,000 fleeing Dubai.

The President of the USA is now openly threatening Iran with being the target of one of the greatest crimes in world history. Trump is saying he will destroy the basis of life for more than 90 million people.
He should be removed from office for this.
For Brits, it’s worth noting that there have already been rumblings about age-gating *Wikipedia*, because it has content that is “inappropriate” for minors. So it’s hardly hyperbolic to suggest there is a slippery slope. We just haven’t yet stepped fully on to it.
This was the point Starmer implied in his answer to Badenoch on this at last PMQs. My sense is that she & others have the idea (if so, an especially strange one for a Conservative) that NS oil is 'ours' and that, as such, UK consumers have first dibs on it at a price capped by the government.
This social media paranoia is why we need education about Social Media, not bans.
It all turned out to be a whole load of nothing, but it got parents, schools, and the police in a flap.

I am deeply unimpressed with the knee-jerk anti-govt and *anti-liberal* stance from the Lib Dems on this. They seem to have forgotten nuance. Australia has shown a straight ban doesn’t work. Defining what is/isn’t social media has been a shitshow. Homebound kids have been left isolated. FFS. 🧵
Soon: "survey results show most employees already use ai"
I like a lot of what they are doing. But it doesn’t seem to be making them very popular with voters
(Broadly speaking, Western European nations in the EU are the closest I’ve seen to what I would like)
After he sold Wordle to the New York Times, Josh Wardle felt lost. He found refuge in an unlikely place: the cryptic crossword.
Now he wants to teach the world how to solve them.
For @newyorker I spoke to Wardle about his new project, Parseword, out today: www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...
Which I nod along with until I ask “but where?”
The world has everything from far right to far left governments but I don’t see any that have managed better
Things are changing and we need to adapt but I am suspicious of easy answers from anyone
Mario and Luigi (RIP) sausages
Today is Mario Day (Mar10) so let us all take a moment to remember both Mario and his brother Luigi. They deserved better than this...
An hour apart. Perhaps we should stop treating the mindless weathervane spinning in the breeze as if it has a clear strategic direction we can ascertain.
A savage, magnificent, virtuosic and unlikely to be surpassed evisceration of "Mummy's Favourite".

Magnify dysfunction through automation and all you get is more dysfunction.
what is the actual point of having Ofcom?
Currently down to watching just twice a day. But still gives me the joys every time
Announcement on packed train to Bristol.
If have a vacant seat next to you, the good news is you are on public transport and people are allowed to sit next to you. Please remove any luggage from seats. We'll be going along the train with a ticket machine and charging full fair for luggage on seats.

I cannot express enough how the trauma of 1980 fa cup final remains with “some of us of a certain age”
So reading this had me punching the air
Red Tories, more extreme than Thatcher latest ...
Deeply weird article, this. An attack on the government for doing what the vast majority of people in the UK want it to do. Then I saw who wrote it and it all made sense!
feels like we're soon going to be seeing a lot more people who have gone all-in on AI grappling with "you're almost certainly going to end up liable for massive fuck-ups based on your work that incorporated GenAI, not the company who made the GenAI software that you used."
Meanwhile Mr Hodges has been silent today
Hmmmm
I was raised catholic, became an altar boy, liked priests I worked with. No problems
But anything good ascribed to religions seemed entirely unrelated to religion (see also: “British values”)
But bad stuff (in 80s ireland no divorce, no contraception, no abortion) was all religion
My Nan abandoned religion after she was savagely beaten by Nuns at her Catholic School, unable to deal with the hypocrisy and obvious contradictions.
She passed her atheism down through the family and most of us only saw the inside of churches for weddings and funerals. Clever marketing move, nuns.
Let me tell you something. Y’all are asking too many damn questions at every point of sale. I have to leave a comment, make a suggestion, donate to a charity, choose a method of payment three times and then multiple choice of ways to get a receipt.
Take the damn money and leave me alone.
