in this new era of #globalTradeWar and tariffs, maybe we don't need extra #airport capacity at all, as there will be no extra #business trips to accommodate? Also, transatlantic tourism is going down, as people don't want to spend their holidays in detention centres.

So what you're (correctly) saying, is we need Woke Kids?
But you don't want to say that in case The Rapist in the White House hears, and it spoils our chances of a Trade Deal
Ask yourself why very few men want the hassle of being a teacher?
In fact, ask yourself why Teaching is in crisis right now, and realise it's much more complex than "more male teachers as role models"
You've got Youth Clubs, you've got Art and Culture, look at Femi Koleoso and Ezra Collective, you should be investing in that sort of thing instead of lecture us about 'more male teachers', as if it's our fault.

Reynolds urges MP 'not to invent problems that don't exist’,
when asked about Online Safety Act being part of US deal
Bobby Dean (Lib Dem) says when US rightwingers talk about freedom of
speech, they mean they want US tech companies to continue to be free to
impose harmful content on children. He asks Reynolds to rule out the Online
Safety Act being part of UK/US economic deal.
Reynolds urges MPs “not to invent problems that don’t exist”. He says the
talks with the US are focused on “goods and services in the main”.](https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/114/274/291/754/942/714/original/a9684c2776d6d82b.png "thago 131885]

Israeli embassy accuses Sadiq Khan of citing ‘Hamas propaganda’
Propaganda - even if it was true it is the Israeli government who are on the losing side. Except with Starmer and much of the English establishment
No one can admire the brutal and horrific violence that Hamas (may they rot in hell) instigated. That does not excuse brutality, war crimes, murder and attempts to (killing journalists, medics and rescuers) by Israel
If only we could trust you.....but we think you can't stand up to Bullies and will fold instantly.

Our Prime Minister is like "thanks for the beating, please may I have another?"

It flips the script, forcing you to prove a mistake has been made when AI gets it wrong – the scales of justice further imbalanced.

38 DegreesAI says NO: Tell Keir Starmer that people, not machines should oversee life-changing decisionsClause 80 of the Government’s Data (Use and Access) Bill could strip away your right to decide whether people or machines make decisions that impact our lives.
Big Tech and Whitehall are eager to cut costs by using AI algorithms to make crucial decisions about you. Soon, computers—not people—could determine the outcome of your benefit claims, job applications, or mortgage approvals.

Even the limitation on automated decision-making using 'special category data' could be sidestepped by relying on the loophole of 'authorised by law' in the UK Data Bill.
The letter warns that "police will be able to conduct ADM without limitation and to conduct ADM involving sensitive data with very few limitations."
