Twitter, I’m losing followers hand over fist. Still just about hanging on in here - please help me find my old followers - if they’re still here - if you can, by RTing.

Amazing reporting from Tom Witherow: he tracked down the person who started the rumours that started these riots. She's a mother of three in her fifties who lives in a £1.5m house in Cheshire: thetimes.com/uk/crime/artic…

There’s a lot of effort coming from some quarters on here in trying to claim Starmer called a large group – or those aghast at the tragic events in Southport – “far-right thugs” or similar. There’s a reason these claims aren’t accompanied by links: it didn’t happen. 🧵

BREAKING/ Amazing news that finally a government has responded fairly to the 25% real terms pay decrease inflicted on junior doctors over the last 14 years. @wesstreeting said he would make this a priority - and he did. A man of his word as health secretary - how wonderful 🩺

LLM model size competition is intensifying… backwards! My bet is that we'll see models that "think" very well and reliably that are very very small. There is most likely a setting even of GPT-2 parameters for which most people will consider GPT-2 "smart". The reason current…

GPT-4o Mini, announced today, is very impressive for how cheap it is being offered 👀 With a MMLU score of 82% (reported by TechCrunch), it surpasses the quality of other smaller models including Gemini 1.5 Flash (79%) and Claude 3 Haiku (75%). What is particularly exciting is…

USA media dishes brutal truth about Brexit Britain “Every decision taken by Tory (and @LibDems) governments was a political decision—it did not need to happen that way. Austerity was never the hard logic of dutiful caretakers; it was a political calculation to rescue rich…

Jeremy Corbyn says during a meeting with the Parliamentary Labour Party Committee he was confronted and asked to give assurances that as Labour leader - and potentially prime minister - he would automatically support any military action Israel undertakes👇

Those asking if ‘The Thick of It’ is writing this election may want to note that today’s Tory immigration plan -shunt it off to an independent body to decide, so ministers can avoid talking specifics in interviews- is the main plot of 2009’s special ‘The Rise of the Nutters.’

I remain flabbergasted at the Tories’ gall in continuing to claim black is white, up is down, etc, including the ludicrous claim that they are good stewards of our economy, which has allegedly “outperformed” other major economies. Read this BRUTAL extract from today’s WSJ: 🧵

This could be one of the defining images of the 2024 campaign ..

It's like a Hogarth - "the public listen attentively to the prouncements of his majesty's minister" (via @EtanSmallman)

Angela Rayner & I both grew up in poverty on council estates. We both left school without any qualifications. We both worked hard against almost insurmountable odds to get where we are today & we both now hold a truth twisting, law breaking government to account. No wonder…

That is the result of our decision to leave the EU.' 'Jacob Rees-Smug said it will add cost to business.' Caller Daniel says the new border checks will cost his company another £100,000 a year, telling @mrjamesob he'd 'love' someone to give him 'a single benefit' of Brexit.

It’s almost as if he didn’t understand what he was voting for …..

These checks are an unnecessary act of self harm that will increase prices in an era of inflation.  Brexit is an opportunity for deregulation not becoming a mini protectionist EU. telegraph.co.uk/business/2024/…

Class act. This is the guy of whom Truss said she couldn’t decide if he was friend or foe. Despite all the abuse thrown by the Brextremists he remains a friend of 🇬🇧 and is signalling (probably to the next Government) a commitment to getting back to strong and positive relations

Long live the Entente Cordiale, Vive l’amitié franco-britannique !

Very sorry to hear Peter Higgs has died. I was fortunate enough to meet him several times, and beyond being a famous physicist - I think to his embarrassment at times - he was always charming and modest. And of course his name will be remembered as long as we do physics in the…

If the Pope said this in England, The Times would badge him an extremist, the Tories would demand his arrest and the Charity Commission would announce an investigation into the Catholic Church.
