I buy a videogame console I am stuck with their stores. I buy a car I am stuck with their system. I buy a TV I am stuck with their OS.

What are you doing to change that? Apply the DMA everywhere otherwise this just seems a personal pet peeve against apple.

Keir Starmer is stronger than people think

Something has shifted.

For weeks, parts of the media have spoken as if Keir Starmer was already halfway out of the door and Andy Burnham was already measuring the curtains in Downing Street.

But politics is not theatre alone.

It is pressure.
It is judgement.
It is government.
It is whether you can hold the room when everyone else is testing the walls.

And this week, Starmer did something important.

He made clear that he is not going anywhere.

Not through an anonymous briefing.
Not through an ally.
Not through a whisper to the lobby.

He said it directly to his Cabinet.

If there is a challenge, he will fight it.

And that matters.

Because Keir Starmer is a fighter.

He did not become leader of the Labour Party by luck.

He understands the Labour organisation, the party machinery, the MPs, the members, the unions, the pressure points and the discipline needed to hold it together.

And most importantly, he is not a commentator watching from the sidelines.

He is the Prime Minister.

Because leadership is not only about being popular in a media cycle.

It is about stamina.

Burnham may be a serious politician. I do not dismiss him.

But the more he is scrutinised, the more obvious it becomes that being a good communicator is not the same as being ready to run the country.

Fiscal rules matter.
Markets matter.
Cabinet discipline matters.
Party unity matters.
Delivery matters.

Starmer is not perfect.

But he is serious.

And after fourteen years of Conservative chaos, seriousness is not a weakness.

It may be exactly what Britain needs.

I may be wrong, but that is how I see it. What do you think?

We finally got to see Apple’s crack product marketing team in their VW minibus 😭

Best moment of WWDC26

The next generation of Apple Intelligence powers an entirely new Siri: making the apps and experiences you rely on across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro more personal and helpful than ever.

🚨OH MY GOD: Trump didn’t just walk out of the interview with Kristen Welker, he THREW the microphone on the floor and STEPPED ON IT!

What a thin-skinned, insecure man-child.

One of the worst traits in politics is using tragedy to further your own agenda.

Those praising Farage this morning should bear that in mind.

[Kevin Schofield @KevinASchofield]

Henry Nowak's father outside court yesterday: "We do not want Henry's murder to be used to create further hatred, division or tension."

[Socialist Opera Singer @OperaSocialist]

Farage is sick.

He's just made an "emergency address" where he exploited the tragic death of a young person, Henry Nowak, to push his hate fuelled agenda and try to deflect from the very serious allegations of bribery and misconduct levelled against him.

Farage is scum.

[TRUTH🕊️ @HonestHalo]

Why is it so rare to hear people say they’re proud of Keir Starmer?
The UK economy is showing clear signs of stabilisation under Labour, yet praise remains quiet.
Is it classic British cynicism? Or are we simply not used to a Prime Minister who focuses on the day job instead of chasing headlines?🇬🇧

[ClareT with Ukraine heart and soul 💪 @ClareTa97789912]

The great strength of Keir is that he is neither impressed nor obsessed with the idea of having more money than anyone could ever need.
Don’t be foolish enough to say glasses.
This is why the big money, I include Tony Blair, wants him out of office and why we need him to stay.

[Erdmute Wendlinger @wendlingere49]

Keir Starmer prosecuted Murdoch, & took the press to Court,jailing some & closing the News of the World.What the press have done to Keir Starmer is bitter revenge .They set out to destroy him from day 1, starting with specs & suits.The same press who ignores Farge's 5 million

[Uncle Louis 🍁🔰 @Tomatoninja2000]

@joysulz Being president is just an awful job overall. Like you are working 18 hours a day, 7 days a week, and everyone fucking hates you, you will ever get privacy ever again. You have to be crazy to want to be president tbh.

[Ian Mason 🌙🇮🇲☀️ @REALIANMASON]

@Conservatives How many of your MPs are also enjoying a bank holiday?

[Mister Majestik @MrMajestikness]

So, If I've understood correctly, a Prime Minister doing a cracking job, must resign, because he's not brilliant at telling people what a cracking job he's doing? Let it sink in, just how much bullshit the UK media is feeding the public. Dog shit. #starmermuststay

[Rhi @Rhigallimore]

Do you people just think money falls from the sky or something?

[TheMightyZ @TheMightyZ2]

If a young girl is "old enough" to be a victim of sexual assault, then the young boy who sexually assaulted her is old enough to be sent to prison. Stop with this "he's so young this will ruin his life" mess.

[Canonfire @Canonfire_]

Steve Jobs, one of the great builders of our time, called the computer "a bicycle for the mind" back in 1980.

The bicycle doesn't move on its own. You still pedal. It just turns your effort into something far greater than your legs alone. This is the core (misunderstood) value proposition of AI art.

They say that AI creates instead of the artist, but a tool simply amplifies imagination behind it. The creativity stays ours, but its reach becomes limitless.

🚨 NEW: A Government review has found employers must adapt to the "bedroom generation" of unemployed 16-24 year olds by offering more flexibility

It says they're "not snowflakes or faking it" and their anxiety and depression is linked to growing up on social media
