@ArchRose90 Yet they remain because to them democracy is a play for the audience while the real power remains locked in the wings. As seen first in the eastern part of Germany post-45 it is a hallowed tradition of the hard left and Starmer in particular has been well trained
Sir Keir Starmer is set to ban under-16s from 10 major social media platforms, including X, but not Bluesky, the Left-wing app. https://t.co/TIqZk7QbZr
This week the most advanced AI model on the planet got switched off by a foreign government. British researchers were studying it. British companies were testing it. British hospitals were piloting it. Not any more.
This isn't an AI story. It's the story of every industry we used to lead.
Britain has some of the best AI talent in the world. DeepMind was built here. Our AI Safety Institute writes the rules other countries follow. We have the researchers, the universities, the standards.
What we don't have is the power stations to run the data centres, the planning system to build them, or the industrial base to make the chips. So the work happens here and the value lands somewhere else. We invent. Others build. Others decide. Then we read about it on Saturday morning.
Same story as the kit our soldiers don't have. Same story as the factories we used to.
I spent nine months in government making this argument inside the room. I'll make it louder from outside.
@PeteBritish Jonathan Miller also nicely demonstrates the hubris of the intellectual elite here, and the use of "nonseme" language so belowed by the Marxists.
Lammy told off JD Vance for calling for ‘righteous anger’ over Henry Nowak’s death, yet he himself used the exact same phrase about George Floyd.
As usual, he has no coherent response. It’s just anti-white hypocrisy.
Keir Starmer: JD Vance was wrong to speak about Henry Nowak from a different country
Trevor Phillips: Isn't that hypocritical, considering Keir Starmer spoke about George Floyd in a different country
David Lammy: Keir was in opposition at the time, JD Vance is in Government
Really... that's what you're going with? 🤦
@PeteBritish@HarryTheOwl101 Perhaps the inevitable result of the Macpherson report meeting the harsh reality of per-capita crime statistics is...that thing we don't have
The media are lying about water shortages in the Kent area.
Parliament’s investigation was concluded before the late Spring sunshine, and called out these failings. None were related to the warm sun this week.
South East Water failed to properly monitor emerging threats and identify critical risks, making the Pembury Water Treatment Works shutdown foreseeable and preventable.
• The company had long-standing weaknesses in maintaining its assets, including poor process control, monitoring, and operational management at key sites.
• South East Water did not invest enough in infrastructure to remove single points of failure, improve resilience, or prepare for climate change and population growth.
• The company was poorly prepared for major incidents and responded slowly, with insufficient alternative water supplies and inconsistent customer support.
• South East Water lacked an effective crisis communication strategy and provided poor, inconsistent, and sometimes inaccurate information to customers and authorities.
• The company failed to provide adequate support for vulnerable customers, including hospitals, care homes, schools, and households, causing significant hardship.
• South East Water repeatedly failed to learn from similar incidents since 2018 and did not properly implement lessons or fix root causes.
• The company showed a culture of avoiding responsibility through groupthink, blaming external factors, and lack of transparency.
• South East Water breached legal and regulatory duties under the Water Industry Act 1991 and its licence conditions, resulting in a proposed £22.46 million fine by Ofwat.
