Lmao at David Campbell, City of Bradford MDC Biodiversity Officer’s comment, stealing her thunder right at the top:
The Planning and Infrastructure Bill very much sits in the space Attenborough was aiming at when he said “We have a finite environment—the planet. Anyone who thinks that you can have infinite growth in a finite environment is either a madman or an economist.”
The reason Attenborough et al are screening it for these politicians is because they’re doing things wrong.
is labouring under about £20bn of debt and is running out of cash.
Claw back the money from investor dividends and management bonuses then.
Aaron Banks (now currently a Reform politican, thankfully he didn’t win a seat) and Cambridge Analytica wrangled the vote with illegal campaign spending and manipulation through targeted Facebook advertising (you can tell whatever lies you like if you only tell them to people who don’t question) in 2016. Then they assisted Trump in his 2016 election. Then Cambridge Analytica was disbanded, but the same people were in the background in the 2019 UK election, and again in the 2024 US election. It’s all the same backers, employing the same tactics both sides of the pond - like how they accused Jeremy Corbyn of antisemitism, then shortly afterwards tried to pull the same stunt on Bernie Sanders.
Butbutbut the tankies told me that Foundations of Geopolitics was written by a crackpot and it didn’t hold any weight with Putin and the Russian government??
The article author has clearly never been to Bristol, either. “Picturesque streets” my arse.
The equive now would be
More soost it working for Brexit.
I find this vague and confusing.
Starmer didn’t even visit the constituency in the run up. However Labour’s biggest issue here is that the previous MP was sacked after he got into a fight while drunk one night and was convicted of assault, which was the whole reason there was a byelection. So it was kind of a coin flip on whether anything they could have tried would have made the situation better, and it easily could have backfired.
Nah that’s just Russia spreading its tenticles. Years ago Putin implemented a law that said 50% of all oligarch’s wealth would be directed by the Kremlin - it was still their money, they get to keep the profits, but Putin dictates how it’s spent. If they didn’t comply they would likely fall out of a window. Nowadays we have Russian oligarchs investing in all sorts of political activities all over the world, but everyone just acts like it’s an individual acting of their own accord and not foreign state interference.
The UK had US nukes at Lakenheath for decades up until 2007. Frankly, I think we’ve been a lot more vulnerable to Russia since they stopped - if anything removing the nukes coincides with Russia’s increased aggression.
I haven’t seen a thing about multiple accusers? The information I’ve read suggests it’s one accuser, with multiple events in the 2000’s and one recent accusation of rape in the 2020’s. In particular, the police statement said “The victim is being supported and given access to any specialist help or support she needs.”, which directly implies only one accuser.
and the police are confident enough in the case to have advanced to the arrest phase.
That doesn’t mean much of anything.
For all we know he could have been stitched up.
Norris, 65, was elected as the MP for North East Somerset and Hanham in 2024, defeating the Conservative MP Jacob Rees-Mogg.
I wonder who will be lining up to try to win the seat after Norris is gone? Because he’s probably not going to be able to hold his seat, whether or not the charges stick.
Edit: In another article they mention that he also has a master’s degree in social work. More and more I’m leaning towards this being a potential stitch up. However, we don’t know what information the police have, none of that is public.

The problem is AI is more of a sales term than anything else. If a politician is talking about buying AI, they’re most likely being duped into paying more than they should be for the technology - the terms you listed wouldn’t sell for as much. Meanwhile, that same politician is talking about cutting public spending elsewhere, on things people actually need.
The UK can be a leader in snake oil all by itself!
Is it just me, or does that photo look like both Trump and Boris at the same time??
FYI for anyone it concerns, clicking “Disagree to all” on the cookie screen of that website definitely still accepts the “legitimate interest” crap.
Such a bullshit article using Trump in the headline when talking about what a gay Republican Senator said. Trump has famously disowned his mentor/lawyer when he got AIDS and it became apparent that he was gay. Graham might have his nose painted by Trump’s ass, but Trump doesn’t look his way.
Datacentres are indeed shooting up all over the place at an astonishing rate. I know, I’m involved in them. However I don’t think they need such protection from the government - the companies building them already have enough money (and the datacentres themselves make a ton of money) that they don’t really need handouts.
This is disengenuous when the other side of the argument is “we dictate the terms of your work”. Working isn’t slavery, it’s voluntary, and has to be agreed by both parties. It isn’t “give us what we want or the city suffers”, it’s “give us a fair deal or we stop working”.
In this kind of negotiation nothing “works” until the negotiations are concluded.
