The UK is spending £369m refurbishing Buckingham Palace for King Charles, who has £22bn and gets £500m more a year.

He can pay for his own renovations, £369m is more than England spends on building Social Housing in an entire year for the whole country.

Reform UK is sabotaging LGBT+communities across Britain: defunding Pride festivals, cutting community group funding & banning Pride flags

Now the Reform UK council in Essex is banning libraries from promoting LGBT+ events

Reform UK is a threat to LGBTs

There’s a link between the spread of Nigel Farage’s evidence-free rabble-rousing and Michael Grade’s calamitous time at OfCom. https://t.co/xcBIBOfDPJ

@Nigel_Farage Are you getting desperate, lad?

Maybe keep your crypto millions for something else. 😂

[Sir Escanor (𝘏𝘰𝘱𝘪𝘶𝘮 𝘚𝘭𝘢𝘺𝘦𝘳) @EscanorReloaded]

CEOs are quietly realizing the AI replacement plan has a problem.
Two problems, actually.

One: the token costs for running AI agents are now exceeding what they were paying the employees they fired.

Two: when the tokens run out, the AI stops. Just stops. No continuity. No workaround. Just a spinning wheel where your workforce used to be.

You fired humans to save money and bought a subscription that bills you into a corner.

The employees you let go knew what to do when things broke.
The AI just invoices you for the outage.

And then there’s the permission problem nobody wants to talk about.

To do its job, the AI agent needs access. Full access. Your systems, your patents, your contracts, your future plans. Everything you spent years building, handed over to a process that has no loyalty, no discretion, and no skin in the game.

You didn’t hire a replacement.
You gave a stranger with no soul the keys to everything you own.

Enjoy.

By the time he was announced as Reform UK's candidate against Andy Burnham in the #Makerfield by-election, Robert Kenyon's previous Reform UK X account had been mysteriously suspended. We found the archive. 419 tweets. Here's what they reveal. 🧵 1/12 https://t.co/iQxjul1TBs

[HOPE not hate @hopenothate]

EXCLUSIVE: Reform UK’s Makerfield by-election candidate, Rob Kenyon, had a SECOND deleted social media account, and the archived posts are damning.

This guy is a stone cold liability.

Perfect for Reform UK, I guess.

No wonder he’s had his online presence surgically scrubbed.

And now posting via the US App Store.

Totally normal behaviour. 😬

James O’Brien just nicknamed ‘Farrage’ as The Count of Dodgy Crypto.

Deleted tweet no doubt supposed to be a DM from the government’s newest appointment.

BBC was so focussed on hounding Green councillors who said "maybe killing palestinian kids is bad" they forgot to warn people about Reform candidates who said "Nigerans should be melted down and used to fill potholes" and "the holocaust didn't happen.

[Gavin Barwell @GavinBarwell]

You're going to hear a lot about how Reform is now a national party.

It's not true, as John Curtice sets out here. They're doing very well in areas that voted strongly for Brexit and not very well at all in areas that voted strongly Remain @Prosper_UK_

It's not every day you get threated with lawsuits by a Home Office employee. But @ShabanaMahmood's special advisor really didn't want us to publish this story linking her to an explosive vote-rigging trial.

In Croydon, 2 long serving Labour councillors, (both black) were deselected & Keir Starmer's NIECE selected to stand.

It's Labour’s 2nd safest cllr seat in Croydon. This is grim.

Great work by @InsideCroydon on this piece. Please read the full article.
