Whilst tonight is all to play for, we must not forget those moments that unite us. Back in 2023 things could have looked quite a lot different for both clubs. We now have an independent regulator to boot. @IronTrust @WeAreTheFSA @FairGameUK

In response to Simon Dudley's (@reformparty_uk) recent comments on Grenfell:

[Faisal Islam @faisalislam]

As a Manc, not enough people listening to @robfordmancs who has been anticipating the Green surge for sometime and pointing to some quite striking potential results in London in May…

strikes me that the polls got the by election completely wrong underestimating the Greens (although the predictive betting markets had it spot on - interesting)… that the frame of this by election was almost entirely wrong, this was never ripe territory for Reform… the big cities of the North are quite different to the towns, North West quite different to N East, bar Newcastle (theories?), and that is not just about ethnicity, plenty of left white working class in this city preferring Green to Reform.

but seems odd to reduce the Green victory to a story about one community when it’s clearly something quite structural and quite an obvious mirror image of what happened to the Conservatives on the right due to ukip/ reform now happening to Labour on the left, partly the inevitable and predictable result of a strategy that banks its urban liberal base and seeks to appeal to voters in Reform facing seats.

The consequences are pretty seismic… even for a majority Government. eg can imagine the Greens saying and offering a multitude of things the Labour base actually wants to hear on eg Brexit now, in the same way Ukip did on the opposite side, and having all sorts of impacts on Labour’s internal dynamics and ability to drive through tougher parts of its agenda.

Already Labour backbench voices want a strong statement of intent from the Chancellor at the Spring Statement on Tuesday, but that we have been told is going to be a policy free event (though we anticipate a more substantive strategic economic policy push in the middle of next month).

Interesting times.

amazon's internal A.I. coding assistant decided the engineers' existing code was inadequate so the bot deleted it to start from scratch

that resulted in taking down a part of AWS for 13 hours and was not the first time it had happened

incredible

@carolecadwalla Don’t forget former Deputy PM Nick Clegg. Who has recently left Meta to write a book on AI

Tonight’s #newsnight was another example of @vicderbyshire being the best political interviewer and broadcaster in the uk. Considering the current landscape, I would say it’s essential viewing as to how it can be done.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe is entitled to his views even if many disagree with them. What he is not entitled to do is embarrass #MUFC. What Ratcliffe is not entitled to do is make Carrick’s job more difficult by potentially upsetting some players, more than half from overseas... 1/2

@hzeffman I think it’s probably best for all to not continue to look at current international relations as traditional politics.

Netflix’s $83B WBD bid rides a record $59B bridge loan from Wells Fargo, BNP, HSBC. It shifts to $25B in bonds + $20B loans post-close.

Leverage jumps, rating pressure rises. Netflix promises a two-year path back to investment-grade levels as banks bet big on “Project Noble.”

@RJCity1 You’re so great and this was a hell of a run and some very funny moments. All power to you going forward and I hope you can continue to flex your creative muscles in other places in the company

With all the exit tax rumours (whoever briefed them is a fool), some people are claiming that billionaire wealth is immobile so we don't need to worry about capital flight.

I thought I'd do some quick research into the UK's wealthiest people, and how mobile their assets are...

This woman is running her own social experiment. She's in the south calling various churches and asking if they could feed a starving baby. Here's a list of churches that said yes/no. The few that said yes include black churches, a Buddhist temple, and an Islamic center.
