That Starmer fella...

Increasing 20x in 6 years isn’t really that ambitious for fairly new tech. You’ll get 20x for free just by keeping up (or even falling behind).
And ‘multibillion’ over that timeframe could signal nothing more than renewing any agreements they currently have. Seems like an announcement of intent rather than any actual commitment

It's a bit of spin for the Sundays to divert attention from the cluster fuck that the bond markets are for Keith and Rach. The ginger spinner is way of out of his depth and had thin Pat voicing words of support for the very person another set of spin has him to replace.
AI is the current buzzy shite salad for all high ranking incompetents out there.

This, at least, is uncontroversial

Rach from complaints had better revise that CV (again)...

the ginger spinner

Why is this necessary?

He knows it irritates people and he likes being irritating, I can relate, I also like being a bit of a prick.

I think the ginger part here is descriptive almost rhyming patter rather than derogatory, the daft little nicknames are the irritating part.

Or part of the irritation at least.

I'm sure that shovel faced cunt has been called worse. He's from the deep south of Ireland.

Mis gendering.. tut tut

He him if you please

this is the problem, they could fix the climate crisis, bring about world peace & end hunger yet our press wouldn't give it a mention, instead focusing on some trivial not really a problem "problem" that gains clicks.

Which is why the number one goal should have been to regulate the media and reduce the influence of their owners.
However, Starmer was off writing opinion pieces for the Mail and doffing his cap for Murdoch's endorsement before the election, so that was never going to happen.

We're not going to do austerity but...

I don't even know who is being talked about half the time.

May as well say skibbidy for the sense being made

I don't block anyone on here but that dude went on my block list long ago. He's quite reasonable on the watch thread but in here it's like sitting in front of a shit covered fan. Just non stop flecks.

non stop flecks

Great band name.

But what genre? 🤔

I was assuming it was Angela Rayner to start but the male and Irish part confused me.

"A government spokesperson said: “This story is categorically untrue. The government is working with Natural England to review options on species reintroduction, including beavers.”

The press are inaccurately reporting about the government on a daily basis across all news outlets.

It's crazy.

I really want Starmer and Reeves to succeed. They're a mile better than that which we have all experienced over the past 14 wasted years. Market turbulence aside, my impression is that Labour are simply overwhelmed by the legacy and practical implications of Tory asset stripping. Hive mind, assure me I'm wrong.

Completely agree with this sentiment.
The press are also completely hostile overblowing many things and being completely silent on any successes.

24h news is killing politics. Social media has just accelerated it. It’s very sad and will ultimately destroy civilisation as we know it. Ho hum.

Nah - AI will get there first.
