If you take one thing away from #AutumnStatement, let it be this, by @EdConwaySky: Even though this is a 'tax-cutting budget', tax burden overall is going UP, higher even than after the last budget, highest than the historical peak of 1948. The rest is smoke and mirrors. ~AA

Today's #HighCourt ruling was careful to stress that the UK is bound by its own domestic legislation and by #humanrights obligations under several international treaties and conventions, in addition to the ECHR (2/4)

Exactly what I described a few days ago. OpenAI may put another band-aid on this specific case, but the overall problem isn’t going away anytime soon.

Just checked my phone and I’ve got WhatsApps from December 2012 at least. Backups happen automatically without effort; it’s absurd to suggest they don’t exist unless lost wilfully. https://t.co/gRZlxnmEVN

People hit by a vehicle at 20mph are around five times LESS likely to be killed than at 30mph. Why is Rishi Sunak launching a war on pedestrians? #BBCLauraK

The demand for simple solutions in an age of complex problems seems almost universal.

This map of the West Midlands shows a congestion forecast for 2031 if we continue with current car usage trends. Any “plan for motorists” cannot overcome the basic fact that there is more demand than there is capacity. Helping people choose more efficient modes is essential.

Shame on you @Mark_J_Harper you’re normally way above this sort of low level nonsense. Sensible #Conservative councils have championed road safety for all road users & pedestrians for decades. Decent politicians bring people together not stage phoney wars. Grow up.
Too often the private car is vilified by Labour politicians and sneered at by the metropolitan bubble, when it has been one of the most powerful forces for personal freedom & economic growth. The @Conservatives are backing the motorists who keep our country moving 👇

The ‘war on the motorist’ is such bullshit. The real war is on the pedestrian and has been for years.

Full on corporate attack on government now Self interested lobbying - or a big own goal with business?
Energy giant E.ON joins criticism of government plans to water down green pledges… says it risks “condemning people to many more years of living in cold and draughty homes that are expensive to heat, in cities clogged with dirty air from fossil fuels”

sexual harrassment is not unique to surgery. We need to dig deeper to protect everyone from abuse at work in the NHS
