Morning ! First read to day --- Mr Crace

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/20 ... t-know-whySo this part of Greater Manchester was going to have to do with someone who had lived there a while ago. Someone who had left his job at the University of Kent and retreated to London to be a media gobshite for GB News. Step forward, Matt Goodwin.
The first reaction from most journalists was that Reform must be having a laugh. In a constituency where nearly half the population identify as coming from an ethnic minority, Nige had decided to stand arguably the most openly racist adjacent candidate they could find.

' Goodwin still tries to pretend he attended Donald Trump’s inauguration last year. He flew to Washington to watch it on TV. Living the far-right dream."

Re: Wednesday 28th Jan 2026
I'd encourage you to feast your eyes on this:
https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... curity.pdf
It's from this article yesterday from Monbiot:
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfr ... l-security
To cut a long story short the Labour government tried to brush a National Security Assessment on biodiversity and ecosystem collapse under the carpet because it's grim reading and makes them look bad, then when forced to publish it as a result of an FOI request have released the bare minimum they could get away with. Unfortunately for them even what they have begrudgingly let us see paints a horrific picture, and it's being painted by our own security services, not some tree hugging hippies.
Honestly, give it a read. Then think about what's going on in the world now before the worst of that shit happens.
Starmer can trot the globe fluffing the big boys as much as he likes but when the environmental shit really hits the fan and we end up with millions of displaced, starving people what's this little island going to do on its own? Become self sufficient? As our Joint Intelligence Committee points out in the assessment to do so we'd have to stop rearing livestock and become an island of veggies. So even if we put up a wall around our coast to keep the starving multitudes out we'd still end up in a worse situation than during wartime rationing. And this isn't in a hundred years time, they're talking within the next 3 decades.
So it's no wonder we have those who couldn't give a fuck about trying to solve the situation now throwing their weight about because they're already looking to control the aftermath. That's always been their agenda. They couldn't care less if people get flooded out of their homes or lose their livelihoods or die of heat exhaustion. They're entirely indifferent to the extinction of countless species of fauna and flora. For them what's important is adapting to the diseased, half dead shithole of a world they've created and fighting over the scraps that remain. It's a fucked up approach but you can't deny its cynical pragmatism.
When you walk along a beach and look up at a cliff at the stratification you wonder how long that band of...say mudstone took to lay down in an estuary millions of years ago. Modern humans have been around for what? 200 thousand years? In a band of mudstone our entire history would be about a centimetre in height.

Re: Wednesday 28th Jan 2026
Maybe someone should ask Liz why not a single AI company has made a cent of profit while hoovering up massive amounts of government subsidies, tax breaks and private investment.
Then maybe ask her if she would use, maybe an AI legal advisor, that could generate a 'hallucination' that gave her the entirely wrong legal advice.
Would she fuck. She'd use a human professional like the rest of us.
Yet apparently it's all good to use this shit in public services from benefits to pensions.
We're having this shit forced on us because silicon valley companies need to keep their share prices high to sustain the bubble and along comes a gormless British government with about as much knowledge of computer science as...Liz Kendall.
For fucks sake.
