The depressing thing is the scenes from Cueta will long be a talking point for Jenrick, Farage, and the rest of the far right in the UK/Europe - despite what is a desperate and horrific incident being dealt with, on the face of it, relatively swiftly. Suspect that fact will be largely ignored.
Sunder Katwala (sundersays)Robert Jenrick (7pm) tweeting about "30,000 military age men rampaging through Spanish territory" long after the return rate was over 90%
"79% hung" and not in a good way.
Election Maps UKIf replicated in a General Election, this poll would see Labour fall just 18 seats short of an overall majority.
The fact they want to do a lot of the hard graft on this by 2028 shows a level of ambition which has been severely lacking on anything for two years, for devolution and decentralisation, well, for decades

It really takes something to, in one column, agree that Climate Change is real then lambast the transition to renewables with zero policies of your own besides 'expand North Sea oil and gas'. Badenoch remains the most vibes-based party leader in my lifetime.
Anthony PainterThis oped from Badenoch leaves every sense she would try to extinguish a wildfire with petrol. Oh, but that's fine because Claire Coutinho is a mathematician.
Even by the standards of AI implementation, this is an *insane* decision. They either don't know how much Google Earth is used as a tool for a whole myriad of commercial, legal cases or they simply no longer care.
Eliot HigginsGoogle Earth, a tool often used as a source of satellite imagery to verify photos and videos, has added a feature that allows you to alter satellite imagery with AI, for reasons. blog.google/products-and...

This whole farce has been a wonderful exercise in just how far blind, idiotic hubris will take you.

Fifa World Cup: Uefa to boycott tournament if Gianni Infantino's investment plans go throughUefa's 55 member associations vote to boycott the World Cup if Fifa proceeds with its plan to sell stakes in its competitions.www.bbc.co.ukThomas I-GThe cynical side of me says UEFA will talk in extremely harsh terms but will then begrudgingly go along with it if they get favourable terms; but if they do decide to cut ties, then the World Cup is suddenly a hollow tournament.
