“As I prepare to take my leave of our shared home place, I find comfort in an old Greek proverb: ‘A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they know they will never sit’,” Seamus Mallon's autobiography ended.

Sir Paul Marshall, the owner of GB News, has apparently committed the unforgivable sin, says @Psephizo premierchristianity.com/opin…

Do we need to choose between saving the planet and saving people? What is the current impact of C of E approaches? @WalkerMarcus psephizo.com/life-ministry/s…

The most important revelation of the Gaza war—indisputable proof that Hamas & PIJ systematically posed as journalists—continues to be ignored by the mainstream media. Because it puts into question every report that ever came out of Gaza. It means the IDF was right all along.

The former President of the ICJ just destroyed the “Israel is committing genocide” lie. Joan Donoghue (who presided over the South Africa v. Israel case) on Hardtalk: “It didn’t decide that the claim of genocide was plausible… The shorthand that often appears… isn’t what the court decided.” The Court only said Palestinians have plausible rights to be protected from genocide. It made no finding that Israel was plausibly committing genocide. Watch her say it herself. The media and activists have been misrepresenting this and lying for 18 months.

A Green councillor called Hamas founders "martyrs". The Lib Dems made him cabinet member for children and families. Birmingham deserves answers.

This is the woman David Lammy wants to choose our judges. She says merit alone should NOT determine judicial appointments. “Merit is crucial but so is a focus on diversity."

You have noticed it. ChatGPT feels dumber than it used to. Your prompts that worked six months ago produce worse results now. The writing sounds flatter. The ideas sound safer. The internet itself feels like it is shrinking. Every article reads the same. Every email sounds the same. Every answer sounds like it was written by the same voice. You thought it was you. It is not you. Researchers at Oxford and Cambridge published a paper in Nature proving what is happening. They call it Model Collapse. Here is the mechanism in one sentence. AI trained on AI-generated data gets dumber every generation until it forgets what real human data looked like. The internet is filling with AI-generated content. Blog posts. Articles. Reviews. Comments. Social media. AI companies scrape the internet to train the next generation of models. Which means the next generation of AI is being trained on the output of the current generation. Each cycle loses information. Not randomly. It loses the rarest, most unusual, most creative parts first. The researchers call these the "tails of the distribution." The weird ideas. The unexpected perspectives. The things that made the internet feel human. Those disappear first. What remains is the average. The safe. The expected. The bland. Then the next generation trains on that. And loses more. And the next generation trains on that. And loses more. The researchers proved this is not a slow decline. Major degradation happens within just a few iterations. Even when some of the original human data is preserved. They tested it on large language models. On image generators. On statistical models. The pattern was the same every time. The output converges toward a narrow, flattened version of reality that looks nothing like the original data. The lead researcher put it plainly. "Large language models are like fire. A useful tool. But one that pollutes the environment." The pollution is invisible. You cannot see which sentence on the internet was written by a human and which was written by AI. Neither can the AI that is about to train on it. And once the tails are gone, they do not come back. The damage is irreversible. This is not a prediction anymore. It is a diagnosis. The internet you grew up on was built by humans writing things no algorithm would have written. Strange, personal, imperfect, alive. That internet is being diluted. One generation of AI at a time. And the models trained on what remains are learning a smaller and smaller version of the world. Model Collapse is not a technical problem. It is a cultural one. The thing that made the internet worth reading is the thing that disappears first.

Why is it okay for David Lammy to express ‘righteous anger’ over George Floyd but not for JD Vance to express ‘righteous anger’ over Henry Nowak?, asks Brendan O’Neill buff.ly/zCwJjZc

Brilliant from @KemiBadenoch who only gets more impressive 🔥

Palestinian students in UNRWA schools: "With Allah's help we will return and those Jews, who are dogs, we will smash their heads. I want to be a jihadist, and to kill Jews for Allah and become a martyr. Be honest: does anyone believe peace can be made with these people?

Suicidal empathy is watching a migrant from Sudan try and behead another man and then ask: “what do you mean, alien cultures?”

Just checking what your policy would be if Iran fired missiles at Britain? Should we show restraint too? @YvetteCooperMP

Mosab Hassan Yousef, son of Hamas founder, triggered absolute hysteria among pro-Palestinian students at Oxford — simply by telling the truth about his father’s terrorist organization.

Not the best start for a multicultural society, I'm afraid

Iranian man warns that Sharia law starts with unity between the left and Islam. Pay attention to what he’s saying. The same alliance between the left and Muslims that is taking place now in the West happened decades ago in Iran. That’s how Iran became an Islamic theocracy.

If he'd been here illegally, the Government would simply have looked incompetent at its primary duty to protect her citizens; that he was on a visa makes the Government look treasonous, aiding and abetting enemies to the King’s Peace.

This redefinition of safeguarding is a terrible overreach. Every priest deals, most weeks, with people want things from the Church. And will weaponise their claim to be vulnerable in order to target the clergy to get what they want. When everything is safeguarding, nothing is.

“Virgin female prisoners should be raped before execution so that they do not go to heaven.” -Ayatollah Khomeini (founding leader of the Islamic regime in Iran). I will never wrap my head around the fact that this is what Western leftists decided to side with.

"Go be Jewish somewhere else." Every time I think Irish antisemitism has sunk as low as it possibly could, something new comes along.

"What caused Israel to attack Iran?" a Beirut-based reporter was asked just now on BBC Radio's Today. The answer was all about Netanyahu's politicking over the Iran deal and pressure from the Israeli public, with only a passing vague reference to Hezbollah's continued attacks on Israel. No mention of the nearly daily killing of IDF soldiers in Lebanon, nor the missile attack on Israel's north which breached Trump's ceasefire terms and precipitated Israel's attack on Beirut. Other media this morning are also presenting Israel falsely as the aggressor rather than defending itself against Iran which has been using Hezbollah to attack Israel. The usual truly wicked media distortion that's fuelled murderous hatred against Israel and the Jewish people. @HonestReporting
