Incredibly Ford has now rehired more than 300 veteran human engineers after it says AI failed to deliver the same level of expertise.

Credit to them for admitting it.

Cost to rewire UK electricity network could hit £90bn in 2030s.

A cue for more price rises.

Energy companies profiteer, neglect investment.

23% average profit margin in energy sector. 38% in the grid sector, up to 58% in gas extraction.

Nationalise.

A lot of people would have you believe that handing over parts of the NHS to private providers is our only option

But…

* Only the NHS takes care of patients at A&E
* Only the NHS trains our doctors and nurses
* Only the NHS looks after all patients

[Jonathan Pie @JonathanPieNews]

Yes we need change. We need fewer self-serving career politicians. So that rules you out, you two-faced snake oil selling cunt.

Chris Mason also doesn't mention that 'British billionaire' Harborne lives in Thailand under a Thai name, and he doesn't bother to mention that Farage actually owned Reform UK at the time he received the gift.

Mason is a disgrace to journalism, and a handmaiden to fascism.

[lan Byrne MP @IanByrneMP]

Today I asked the Government why taxpayers are subsidising poverty pay.

The DWP says 1.2 million people are working full-time but still rely on Universal Credit because their wages are too low.

I asked whether large employers will be required to report how many of their workers need Universal Credit.

Work should pay enough to live on. No one working full time should go hungry.

MAJOR BREAKING: Thomas Massie will be giving a Notice of Intent to bring forth a Privileged Resolution to release of ALL names of U.S. Representatives who have used tax dollars to settle sexual misconduct claims.

I support this. Do you?

If true that @andyburnham not taking media questions after speech today then good move. Speeches matter and when important should speak for themselves. A problem with Keir S communications was that he would make a speech, then take Qs and the broadcast journalists in particular would make it more about them and their “take” than him. If and when he becomes PM Burnham will be answerable to Parliament, not the showbiz style media coverage of politics. The blah factory will go into overdrive today with journalists interviewing each other about how they ought to be allowed to ask Qs. The speech itself is more important than anything they say before during or after. Setting the agenda vital from the off.

Thanks to everyone who's already watched this on X or on YouTube. We're experimenting with longer versions of our explainers and it's great to see they're proving helpful.

Madness. Putting solar panels over car parks, as is required in France, makes every kind of sense. It generates clean power, provides shade to the cars, and protects countryside from solar farms. But the Government has inexplicably rejected it.

You’re daily reminder Nigel Farage wants to

- leave the ECHR

- repeal the Equality Act

- Strip back workers rights

- Lift restrictions on exploitative zero-hours contracts

- repeal the Renters’ Rights Act which abolishes “no fault evictions”

PLEASE DON’T FALL FOR IT

NEW: Boris Johnson failed to declare to parliament a gift of private jet flights from the same cryptobillionaire, Christopher Harborne who gave £5m to Nigel Farage, leaked documents reveal.

It’s fascinating that giving to charities is considered noble and praiseworthy but creating a society that doesn't require charity is considered socialist and bad.

[Joni Askola @joni_askola]

The catastrophic reality of Brexit has exposed the entire project as a historical scam pushed by charlatans and traitors, on behalf of Moscow.

It has directly undermined European security and weakened the West to the absolute delight of Moscow, Beijing, and Washington DC.

The separation of the United Kingdom from the European continent has made both entities far more vulnerable to external threats. At a time when global stability requires absolute cohesion, this decision introduced needless fragmentation.

The geopolitical rewards of this blunder flow straight to Washington DC, Beijing, and Moscow. Russia and China look at a fractured Europe and see a continent that is much easier to manipulate, exploit, and destabilize because one of its strongest powers is isolated from its neighbors. The US sees the same, especially under Trump.

Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage will forever carry this betrayal as their core legacy. The United Kingdom must eventually rejoin the European Union to reclaim its economic sanity and strategic defense, a move that is becoming increasingly obvious to everyone

MIKE JOHNSON: “If we lose the midterms, the Dems will turn every committee of Congress into an investigative body. They will go after the president's family, the cabinet, his donors, and friends.”

This is actually the best case I’ve heard for voting Democrat.

🚨NEW: The government has announced that, from April 2027, interest on cash in Stocks and Shares ISAs will be taxed at 22%, and under-65s will only be able to put up to £12,000 a year in a cash Isa, down from £20,000

[We Own It @We_OwnIt]

Calum Miller MP says of his constituents - "They're angry that one third of their bills go towards Thames Water's ballooning debt and to paying vulture funds like Elliot Associates instead of maintaining and replacing ageing infrastructure"

It's time for our water supply to serve the households that pay for it, not US hedge funds.

@CalumMillerLD has signed our open letter urging this government to reject the Thames Water creditors, and bring the utility into Special Administration.

Is your MP one of the 108 MPs standing up for a water system which works for people, not profit?
