🌹 New research from @LabourTogether reveals:
💥 Electoral reform would make the most positive impact of any democratic reform - say Labour's key target voters.
📊 Both 'Workington Man' and 'Stevenage Woman' see PR as *more* positive than devolution or Lords reform.

Mounting expedition to reach flavour-starved UK where millions survive only on boiled food. If I make it past the airport checkpoints, I hope to meet the brave African expatriates helping the country emerge from international isolation, and find inspiring local stories of hope.

The probe has also raised questions about the use of AI by the title.

As the IMH has just reported “Rising corporate profits account for almost half the increase in Europe’s inflation over the past two years”
In that case might we stop all the talk about wage-price spirals and instead talk about restoring fair pay? content.govdelivery.com/acco…

The hunt for five(wealthy) people in the Titanic sub is full of drama but this👇 raises questions about why it receives greater prominence than the sinking of a migrant boat in the Med with an estimated 750(poor) aboard, 81 confirmed dead so far.

So once more for the people at the back. This story is fake news. There was no child who wanted to identify as a cat. The article itself admits it. The "cat" element was introduced by one of the two students winding up their teacher.

If AI threatens humanity, it’s by accelerating existing trends of wealth and income inequality, lack of integrity in information, & exploiting natural resources. Think @GreatDismal’s jackpot, not Skynet. I agree with the simple statement to this degree.

Everyone should look at this chart from @jburnmurdoch before making US/UK comparisons on culture wars. We are less divided and more socially liberal - advances in gender equality, gay rights, tackling racism are seen as sources of pride right across the spectrum in the UK.
