Labour power by FUD
*Labour conference rule changes
could stop members debating issues like Brexit.*
Starmer is determined not to allow the Labour Party to be in any way
a vehicle to focus public opinion on major public issues. Only the small
questions Starmer will tolerate are going to be in order.
Starmer has already assured that advocates of bigger changes can't run for MP
or even local offices
in the Labour Party.

AI's response-time fix for budget's performance
AI pattern recognizers are effective at getting a good chance of recognizing
many significant phenomena.
Fraudulent welfare claims
is one of them.
But humans accused of any sort of wrongdoing deserve a real investigation.
It is inherently unjust to punish someone because a program reported perse's actions "resemble crime."
We must keep in mind that the UK's welfare system is designed to be cruel; it reduces
unemployed
and disabled
people to a point where they
can't actually get by, and imposes impossible requirements. Whatever system
of enforcement
of those requirements the state happens to use is a means
to a horrible end.

Underwriting coal
*Big European insurers "underwrite 30% of US coal despite net zero pledges".*
Does that conflict with their pledges? How could we know?
Formulating emission reduction plans in terms
of "net zero" makes it easy to fudge such things, so let's
not give them that loophole.

Senator Feinstein
Senator Feinstein, a "centrist" (somewhat right-wing) Democrat,
has died.
Her death, as such, is regrettable; no human being deserves to die.
However, her departure from the Senate is good for America and the
world, because it will enable California's Governor Newsom to replace
her soon with a progressive Democrat.
