Sorry Boris, your Euroskeptic vision has failed in so many ways.
Shocking how long it takes to move away from old technology. COBOL is another example
The use of the floppy disk, which was still used in some government agencies in Japan, has now been scrapped.
The government in Wales has pledged to bring in legislation by 2026, giving it the power to ban members of the Welsh Parliament if they knowingly lie.
Ha! You are not wrong, but give it a few years and I can see AI being used in governments all over the world.
Researchers say they've used gravitational wave reserach statistics to solve an Antikythera mechanism mystery.
NASA scientists have spotted unusual shapes in the Earth's ionosphere, hundreds of miles above the Earth's surface.
Pope Francis announces his plans to transition the Vatican to 100% solar power to support climate change efforts.
The Japanese government is planning to connect major cities with automated zero-emissions logistics links that can quietly and efficiently shift millions of tons of cargo, while getting tens of thousands of trucks off the road.
I know this is a joke, but the reality is I, and many others, would probably prefer an AI to many politicians. At least you would know they are not lining their own nest and would make decisions based on facts and not opinions.
The only poll that matters is on the day. Make sure you go out and vote, don't assume it's a foregone conclusion.
I think Labour will win a landslide this year, but 2029 (or earlier) will give voters enough time to be frustrated that despite all the talk about change, nothing will in fact change. That plus war on the horizon (literally maybe) and it seems that a right wing government of some description will be in power next. That may be a reform/tory merger of some sort, or it could even be labour lurching even further to the right. Either way, I fear we are headed into dystopia.
How fucked are we?
We're really fucked
I'm in favour of a Land Value Tax, this means hoarding land becomes expensive. It also means grouse moores and golf courses become expensive (good things in my mind)
The house building companies already have vast amounts of land they own with planning permission in place. They restrict the amount of housing they build to artificially keep the prices high, if they build too many, the prices they could sell their houses for would drop, reducing profit. These are private companies and the government has little control over them. This is why every government for the last few generations has promised more houses and delivered nothing.
When we again weigh each sensitivity by the percent-area for the Earth, our global average ECS is 7.2 °C per doubling of CO2, much higher than the most recent IPCC estimates of 2.3 to 4.5 °C and consistent with some of the latest state-of-the-art models which suggest ca. 5.2 °C
2.3c means crop failures and food shortages globally. 5.2c means the end of our civilisation. 7.2c means the end of our species.
Scientists at the EU's Copernicus monitor say Russia's Sakha region is experiencing intense wildfires.
Makes me laugh that she thinks calling Tennant Rich is an insult when Sunnak is literally richer than the King
Withdrawing in Clacton but fighting in Bristol Central, as if we didn't already know what this Labour party stands for now.

Just hedging his chances, if he doesn't win he wins his £8k bet, if he wins then his nose is in the trough at Westminster. It's win/win for him (and lose/lose for the public)
Yes, thats what will save the Tories, a new leader.....
there are too many people
This is the root cause of most of our problems.
Climate change is just a symptom of overshoot.
Spain is leading the European pack on solar generation this June.
The space agency did consider alternatives to splashing the station.
A new survey of public opinion research reveals the overwhelming majority around the world support more ambitious efforts, and want to overcome geopolitical differences, to fight climate change.
Climate models suggest that a possible scheme to cool the western US by making clouds brighter could work under current conditions, but may have severe unintended consequences in a future scenario
The U.S. is falling behind China in the race for fully-autonomous robot soldiers, a defence expert has warned
A new report from The Information today details Apple’s efforts to automate more of the iPhone production process. The report...
BrewDog is a marketing company that just happens to sell (bad) beer.
It's astonishing they can be so bad at marketing
I'm surprised there hasn't been more of this. The extreme parties (both left and right) tend to attract the even more extreme to their banner.
The winners have to tread a careful path between placating their members and appealing to the general populace. I think this is one of the reasons why Labour will win, the centre ground is where the leaders of our country should be, people tend to want "normality" what ever that is.
I also think we should have PR instead of FPTP so the extremes at least get a voice in parliament rather than throwing bricks from the sidelines.
A number of tourists have died on the Greek islands with temperatures soaring over 100 degrees Fahrenheit.
A group of scientists have created a chip that can fit into smartphone and "see" through barriers using electromagnetic waves.
A new survey of adult citizens in 18 of the world's largest economies has revealed majority support for tax reforms and broader political and economic reform. (Not all questions were asked in China, as indicated when findings reference 17 G20 countries.)
As the last man standing, he was tasked with fixing-up all the AI-generated articles that once would've been composed by dozens of writers.
We have a traditional compact with voters. They might suspect that we are self-promoting posh boys and money-grabbing wotsits, in politics for no good reasons. But if we are bstards, at least we have been competent bstards, ritually elected to clean up after Labour’s habitually profligate compassion. The last few years have ruined that. Without competency, we are just b*stards.
This quote right here shows that what voters suspect, is in fact true.
As for "Labour’s habitually profligate compassion", oh no! Not compassion!
Just need to learn to lip read
100,000 people marched through London at the weekend at the Restore Nature Now March, and there was virtually no news coverage of it. Yet 2 people spray corn starch on a monument and it's front page news globally.
It's a dilemma.
Protest features 350 environmental groups demanding more robust action on UK wildlife loss
At Intersolar Europe, the Chinese manufacturer said the perovskite-silicon tandem module would cost 50% of a crystalline silicon module that costs $0.15 per W, meaning $0.075 per W.
