Says it all really.

One group raised £100k+ for hospitals, one group burnt an ambulance.

Home Secretary Yvette Cooper says the true cost of the Rwanda scheme so far has been £700m.

She says the Tories had planned to spend £10 billion in total on the scheme, a number that had not been relayed to Parliament.

For those angry at the treatment of our justice system from 2010 to 2024, a word of comfort.

Not a single one of the 10 justice secretaries from that period is still an MP.

I'm generally quite forgiving of the compromises politicians need to make to win things but it does bother me when they give dignified and human resignation speeches having not shown those values in a campaign.

It's like the opponent who behaves like a twerp throughout a trial and comes up with a gracious smile and handshake after judgment. Don't trust!

@troyhunt This has been my experience with @ChatGPTapp lately. It seemed a lot better at avoid this sort of thing towards the end of last year but recently it's been bad.

Similarly it's lost a lot of its ability to remember to mimic tone and use default prompts.

@mcdermottkc_ Again!? It had only changed hands when I attended a few years ago.

Rumour was the buyers were very unhappy that the profitability fell short of their expectations.

*Now* the Conservative party is concerned by Russian intelligence ops interfering in our democracy.

I recall a time when they blocked reports by the security services warning about this very thing.

Chickens coming home to roost and all that.

So @RoryStewartUK asked if I could explain marginal rates in more detail. I've had a go here - I'd be grateful for comments and suggestions: https://t.co/9o8PGh6pDs

That's why, if we plot property values vs council tax, we see a tax that hits lower-value properties the most:

REPUBLICANS:

[Adam Bienkov @AdamBienkov]

So it turns out Rishi Sunak originally refused to go to the D-Day commemorations *at all* and only agreed to go for part of it, in a "compromise" with the French.

I just cancelled my Adobe licence after many years as a customer.

The new terms give Adobe "worldwide royalty-free licence to reproduce, display, distribute" or do whatever they want with any content I produce using their software.

This is beyond insane. No creator in their right mind can accept this .

You pay a huge monthly subscription and they want to own your content and your entire business as well.

Going to have to learn some new tools.

[Chris Smyth @Smyth_Chris]

Not sure that saying "I'd been planning to miss this D-Day event for weeks and no one thought it was a problem" is quite the riposte the PM seems to think it is

[Jon Sopel @jonsopel]

Terrible as this lapse of judgement by @RishiSunak is, perhaps the real story is that until a week ago the French government had not been expecting the PM to attend AT ALL. Can you imagine?

Beyond OSINT, I think the overarching issue is:

There’s an implicit assumption in most of journalism that the only way to find out what’s happening is to ask someone.

For years now it’s been possible to do better than that, but the industry has not fully taken this on board.
