- A PM is only as good as his most trusted advisors. Sir Keir should have been a bit more street savvy but McSweeney was pulling the Mandelson strings and, if I were the PM, he (Morgan McSweeney) would be out of the door tomorrow. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...
- When I heard a report about this social media site for #AI bots on the radio this morning I immediately thought of @authorbnugent.bsky.social and his new #novel #TheSentientOnes - if you think Moltbook sounds interesting then you should definitely ready it! www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

The EU is a values-based system: rule of law, democracy and human rights, checks on power... Align wisely, UK. 🇬🇧 🇪🇺 www.politico.eu/article/keir...

- Andy Burnham advisors should take note that one of the reasons Labour is polling badly is because of the sinister attempt by mainstream media and their backers to undermine the government and Starmer. Burnham will get the same treatment. Naive to think otherwise. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
