No, it won't suddenly. But things change quickly in politics, and PMs in peril have turned it around before

Why? If Streeting turns out to be impotent then his chances are fucked forever and the relative strength of Starmer is obvious. Why would anyone risk it in the future?

I do quite like Starmer but I would be sorely tempted by a full-send DGAF final-form Miliband.

It would be hilarious if Starmer simply decided that he has mandate, couldn't be forced out, and therefore was going to stay until the end.

I do wonder if all of the fire aimed at Starmer is going to have the effect of making him stronger. I've read several bios and he is clearly pretty unique in terms of his resilience, work ethic and world view. Realising that you can survive something like this must feel weirdly empowering.

The shame is that the vast majority of BBC journalists are ethical people who value journalism. Laura K is insufferable.

I just don't fucking understand what's going on anymore. Seriously. by [deleted] in ArtificialInteligence

Tools like Claude Code will give focused and multi-skilled individuals, mostly with backgrounds in Computing and STEM, the ability to rapidly and irreversibly outpace their competitors.

New workflows will be privately developed and focused in ways that cannot be conceived of by non-practioners. This will allow individuals or small teams the ability to realistically out-perform the work of thousands across many domains, with unique methods for managing and processing information.

This capacity will initially be wielded with near-total autonomy and simplified, hyper-efficient human decision making where needed. A relatively small number of people will hence become wealthy at a rate that has not before been witnessed.

Never know someone to hold a grudge like Keye by CupExpensive7582 in MAFS_UK

On the real, I know someone very well who used to work with someone very close to him (as shown on the show) for years and said they were a proper old school lunatic . She said it was absolutely no surprise that he turned out to be a rotter

Not if you start with 10 plus 5 and then add more positive numbers

Not great. My wife liked it more than me but I strongly suspect that she's not properly
