Oh man, I haven’t heard that one before. Bona fide quality conspiracy theory 👍

No one even mentioned Zionism or Israel…
It’s more that it’s a tactical choice to avoid polarising people. There’s nothing material to gain by attending the protests, and much to lose in terms of pissing off the far right more and destabilising a precarious situation.
The shit-stirrers like Farage would immediately whip up some bullshit that Labour MPs attending anti-fascist protests is “proof” that the government are choosing to politically punish the far right protesters. The last thing Starmer wants is a resurgence of disorder.
Even though being anti-fascist is an obvious virtue, I presume it’s to avoid the appearance of prosecuting the rioters for political reasons. Starmer wants to make it purely about the lawbreaking rather than their political aims.
Second Mihon. It’s an all-in-one downloader and reader, and supports reading offline.
That’s not denial, it’s looking at the evidence.
It’s not used as a healthcare metric. This is just debunking reports that a healthcare policy was directly causing an “explosion” in suicides.
We’ll see what he tells parliament, but IMO it’s reasonable for him to follow the science, get more trials done ASAP and approve the medicine if the evidence shows. As long as these kids get appropriate care in the meantime without delay.
Approving medicine counter to scientific advice sets a bad precedent, may cause more issues, and might attract lawsuits from terfs etc.
AI is going to become more convincing by reading articles like this and learning what not to say (e.g. hockey match)
Government should only be afraid of losing the next election - they should never be afraid of their life or family’s life for doing their job.
Politicians need to balance opinions from different groups of people, so even the best politicians can never please everyone all of the time. Taking choices you disagree with does not mean they should be afraid for their lives.
As much as I disagree with many choices of politicians, they should never be threatened in any way.
My son is on a 5 year waiting list… maybe we should holiday in Ukraine this year 🤔
This is getting boring; there’s been so many articles about this over the last few weeks.
Starmer’s and Reeves’ statements about this do not totally contradict. They’ve both said they want to invest, but they’ve decided that they won’t staple themselves to the £28bn figure due to the Tories fucking shit up in the economy. I can’t say I necessarily agree with this, but that’s what has happened.
Measures like Google Family Link already exist if parents choose to use them.
I don’t think legislation restricting what young people can do online would necessarily help. It’s illegal for kids to take drugs and drink alcohol yet it still happens. Whatever measures are put in place, there’s usually a way around.
They intentionally removed this feature years ago. It was possible to reenable via a dconf setting for a while but I believe that was also eventually removed.
So annoying.
Where are you getting your figures from?
I’m on the fence about all this. In a utopia, a ceasefire would be ideal of course, but Israel aren’t going to listen to suggestions like that, especially when they believe that a ceasefire would be a risk for them in terms of allowing Hamas to regroup. Whether that is a real risk I don’t know, but either way I can’t see a ceasefire happening in the immediate future until Israel have completed their objectives, regardless of what pressure comes from the UK.
The “humanitarian pauses” do make sense to me, as it would save lives whilst allowing Israel to keep their tactical advantage over Hamas.
But it seems Israel won’t even do the bare minimum of a pause in bombing civilians, so what chance do we have of a ceasefire?
I understand the principled side of standing up for a ceasefire even if it seems unlikely, but the government’s (and Keir’s) POV does also make a kind of sense, to save Palestinian lives in a way that Israel is more likely to agree to.
The difference between Braverman and a pantomime villain is that she actually has the power to make this stuff happen. It remains to be seen if these are just empty words, but it’s definitely worth reporting that a government minister intends to start putting people in prison for being destitute.
Awful. Being autistic she may well have meant it at face value without it being an insult, and not understood what she did wrong as she just stated a fact. Then being dragged out while she had an autistic meltdown :(
Even if she did mean it as an insult and wasn’t autistic, there’d be still no need to drag her out and arrest her. She’s a kid. Educate her, sure, but there was no need to escalate it.
No, they clearly aren’t trying to appear racist, or even directly court their votes. They just don’t want to actively feed into the idiotic theories that stoke tensions.
