I would be interesting to know exactly how much the average voter thinks pensions should be.. but tied with exactly how much workers are willing to pay. Cuts to other types of welfare aren't going to make it cost neutral after all

Proper ridiculous this.. though perhaps it aligns with a point of view that is unwilling to defend, therefore sees no utility in funding it... Not one I'd want to vote for.

This week the most advanced AI model on the planet got switched off by a foreign government. British researchers were studying it. British companies were testing it. British hospitals were piloting it. Not any more. This isn't an AI story. It's the story of every industry we used to lead. Britain has some of the best AI talent in the world. DeepMind was built here. Our AI Safety Institute writes the rules other countries follow. We have the researchers, the universities, the standards. What we don't have is the power stations to run the data centres, the planning system to build them, or the industrial base to make the chips. So the work happens here and the value lands somewhere else. We invent. Others build. Others decide. Then we read about it on Saturday morning. Same story as the kit our soldiers don't have. Same story as the factories we used to. I spent nine months in government making this argument inside the room. I'll make it louder from outside.

Racism on a platform where racists feel emboldened. And governments are powerless to do anything apart from meekly ask social media companies to ‘take action’.

Traitor scum...

Got excited for a second only to realise that it blocks most things related to biology.. which as a scientist with a bio background, makes it pretty useless 🙄 Guess I'll wait until it's able to differentiate between benign requests and people who want to be bioterrorists..

Reckon the actual result would be higher for Stay Out/Leave; having to ditch the Pound Sterling as our currency is a hard no.

National traitor.

I spoke to dozens of Labour voters in Makerfield today. ONE said that Burnham wasn’t a factor in their decision. Even multiple Reform voters said they liked him. Maybe talk to these people @Keir_Starmer? Leave the bunker?

I would move to another zoo

Honestly... Fair enough. They'd probably do more harm than good, and they certainly wouldn't like what the people of Makerfield, Wigan have to say about Keir Starmer. Too big a pill to swallow for people intent on putting fingers in ears to avoid confronting reality..

Britons are more likely to see Andy Burnham as competent, likeable and decisive than they did of Keir Starmer before he became prime minister Andy Burnham Competent: 43% Likeable: 41% Decisive: 39% Trustworthy: 27% Keir Starmer, June 2024 Competent: 38% Likeable: 31% Decisive: 26% Trustworthy: 27%

After the Manchester 10k, campaigning in the hills of Hindley was a tough ask! And my opponents are getting a little more desperate in what they are throwing at me. But I won’t be deflected and am sticking to the game plan! 💪🏻

Aims to preserve the character of Soho by destroying its character. Right. x.com/lewis_goodall/status/2…
