Labour revives failed Tory workfare – forcing young people into subsidised jobs that help big business, not workers.

This isn’t support, it’s exploitation.

This is a beautifully-written and timely piece.

"Britain’s persecution of trans people is not a reflection of an informed public demanding action. It is a reflection of a political and media establishment desperate to avoid scrutiny, eager to misdirect public anger, and entirely comfortable punching down when it suits them."

Last week the Safety Not Surveillance coalition hit the streets of London.

We sent the message that so-called 'crime-predicting' tech must be BANNED!

Because we have the right to be presumed innocent, not predicted guilty.

This tech fuels racism, enables unchecked police power and threatens all our rights. Ban it!

Open Rights Group

Join the fight against crime-predicting tech

Why is this important? The police say AI will make us safer. The truth? It automates injustice and racism. Predictive policing tools don’t predict crime — they predict policing. Built on flawed police data, they target the same communities that have always been over-policed: Black and racialised people, low-income neighbourhoods, and migrants. This leads to: • Over-policing • Unjust stop and searches • Harassment, handcuffing, and use of force against targeted people We all deserve safety, not surveillance.

After ChatGPT was introduced to Parliament, MPs suddenly started using phrasing that was previously only common in the US.

They literally don't bother thinking about the words coming out of their mouths *in real time*.

Full story from NYT:

#UKPolitics #FuckAI

And it's very likely that AI has been caught smuggling cultural practices into places they don't belong.  In the British Parliament, for instance, transcripts show that MPs have suddenly started opening their speeches with the phrase "I rise to speak".  On a single day this June, it happened 26 times.  "I rise to speak in support of the amendment."  "I rise to speak against Clause 10."  Which would be fine, if not for the fact tat this is not someting British parliamentarians said very much previously.  Among *American* lawmakers, however, beginning a speech this way is standard practice.  AIs are not always so sensitive to these cultural differences.

Keir Starmer's planning to make former First Minister Vaughan Gething a Lord according to The Times.

Mr Gething was FM for 4 months.

His time as leader was overshadowed by a controversial £200k donation to his leadership campaign.

He stepped down after 4 ministers resigned.
