their PR is dire, but 6 months after the election is not the time to write off a government. The Tories spent years salting the earth, and Labour have to do unpopular things first to try and recover by the next GE. Let's see how it looks in 2 years.

Many of the most vocal people here would rather have a purist labour party in opposition than a compromising party in government, so some of them, along with right-wing press, will jump at any chance to criticise them.

"Keir Starmer will launch a sweeping action plan to increase 20-fold the amount of AI computing power under public control by 2030 and deploy AI for everything from spotting potholes to freeing up teachers to teach."

Can anyone do something about this before it's too late??

One lesson climate change teaches us again and again is that bad things can happen ahead of schedule. Model predictions for climate impacts have tended to be optimistically biased. But now, unfortunately, the heating is accelerating, outpacing scientists’ expectations.
We must face the fact that no one is coming to save us, especially in disaster-prone places such as Los Angeles, where the risk of catastrophic wildfire has been clear for years. And so many of us face a real choice — to stay or to leave. I chose to leave.

Shutting down the web forum I've been running for not quite 10 years now.

Could've coped with increasing hosting costs, spambots and troll factory somehow.

But what killed it is vague, overbearing legal threats from the #UK, a country I left when it drunkenly stumbled out of the EU after too many pints of Ole Tory.

Many web forums are shutting down because of this. One of them explains here: lfgss.com/conversations/401475…

Of course it's all "for the children".

As a Queer man in the UK I'm more worried about Christian White Nationalists coming for me than Islam.

I've had death threats from such people before, never from an Muslim.

The PM is bending his knee to a Christian Nationalist (and as Trump claims to be a Christian, that's what we'll call him) not to Islam.

The daily hate isn't coming from Islam, it's coming from White People
