Apparently, MS Teams now imposes an AI participant in meetings. Not only is it intrusive, it's also frequently wrong. My wife has coined the term "AI-splaining"!

Trump's right - Starmer isn't an alcoholic war monger. And...?

Did you watch Dirty Business? I can't believe how much water companies have got away with. They're putting profit before public health - it’s a scandal & the Government MUST take action! Sick of sewage? Add your name to the petition today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitio… via @38degrees

Trump is once again trying to flood Britain with chlorinated chicken. Absolutely disgusting. I just signed the petition calling on all major supermarkets to rule out stocking the stuff. Sign here if you agree! 38d.gs/jkj1

Millions of toxic plastic beads from Southern Water have washed up on Camber Sands beach, threatening dolphins, seals, seabirds, and our beaches. Sign the petition to make sure water companies pay for the cleanup of spills like this, not their customers: 38d.gs/water_mess_eaoi_tw

🚨 Nigel Farage’s Reform UK Party opened the floodgates to dark money in our politics by becoming the first UK party to accept untraceable crypto donations. Sign the petition to stop shady crypto donations flooding our politics: 38d.gs/-f-i

Please sign the Liberal Democrats' 'Fix Britain's Trade' petition. They want to turbocharge our economy by forming a Customs Union with the EU, tearing down the trade barriers and red tape holding us back. Add your name here: libdems.org.uk/trade

Robbie Gibb said if he doesn't get his way, he'll blow the BBC up. It's ridiculous that a man like that has a spot on the BBC's board. Our public broadcaster MUST be independent. Agree? Sign to get Gibb sacked: 38d.gs/mpsn

Some barely sentient trumpette on BBC Newsnight this evening claimed that a US-UK trade deal would be facilitated by the UK giving platform to right wing conspiracy theorists ("free speach" to her!). FFS! The "special relationship" is over!

Just watched "A complete unknown". I recommend it. Took me back to the 60s when young people on both sides of the Atlantic agreed "we can do better!". Did we? Is anyone deeply saddened by the spectacle in the White House yesterday? #ImpeachTrumpNOW

Trump had Starmer read out the Royal letter; when he signs executive orders, someone tells him which one he's signing. Can Trump actually read? Perhaps explains why his speeches are so rambling...he can't read notes or an autocue #ImpeachTrumpNOW
