You don’t join an organisation like BASW in the expectation that everything about it aligns with your needs and interests. You join it to become more empowered, in your own career, and, if you want, in influencing the bigger picture... linkedin.com/posts/christia…
Interesting and not unwelcome in my view. The Greens are a party to watch… theguardian.com/politics/2025/…
Coventry City Council's £500k-a-year Palantir contract is indefensible and heinous While public services are cut, and people in Palestine suffer, Palantir profits. The same Labour Party who are enacting austerity here in our communities are funding genocide. #DropPalantirNow !
Coventry council’s decision to use US spy-tech firm Palantir’s AI in social work, Send and children’s services is ALARMING BEYOND BELIEF - here's why... linkedin.com/pulse/what-pri…
So what's this about? @shirleyayres & I have a new Podcast. Keep an eye out for the forthcoming launch. It's been a while in preparation, but promise its worth the wait!
Opinion: if you’re a newspaper funded by a political donor, maybe you should reveal that affiliation when you platform the views of a politician your investor funds? 🧐
Also chillingly superb in Steven Soderbergh’s The Limey bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
‘It’s embarrassing, destructive, and looks like shit: AI-generated art is the perfect aesthetic form for the far right.’ Great piece arguing why, even on an aesthetic level, freely available generative AI is the perfect vehicle for fascism. newsocialist.org.uk/transmissions/…
'Chalke stressed the “weapons” made by youngsters were shards of wood from broken doors....' That's ok then. They got the weapons AFTER they moved in. From substandard doors. In a facility that was 645% over budget. Nothing to see here, folks. The Rev has it under control

Very revealing moment on @JeremyVineOn5 today. Ann Widdecombe claimed people abuse disability benefits. I asked several times for her evidence - she said she’d “heard it from people” when she was a minister. My response? That right there is why our country is in a mess.
See, this is what AI is for. Doing stuff we can’t or which would take us an inordinately long time. Not automating functions best carried out by empathic, accountable humans. Not making ‘art’ & ‘entertainment’ built on the unrecognised labour of others etc bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Right-wingers want to hide the fact that #London is safer than many UK cities and its homicide rate of 1.4/100,000 residents is lower than many large UK and US cities, eg Manchester (1.6); Birmingham (1.7); NYC (5.1); LA (7.0); Houston (14.9); Chicago (18.3); Philadelphia (20.0).

That this mention is in the context of 'value for money', 'efficiency' and 'asset management' raises all sorts of questions regarding how SWE will interact with the public and registrants in future, including in respect of fitness to practise processes. Triage by AI?

🧵 Should ultrarich individuals and UK MPs be prohibited from making large political donations? Farage's Reform has now received at least £18,679,079 in donations, from 203 documented donations. 80% of their total donations (£14,915,919) come from just FOUR individuals.
Does this paper show that education colleges have less teaching awareness than non-education colleges? No. Not at all. Not in the slightest. As one of the few commenters to have actually read it, let me explain why - and why the reaction to it is so incriminating... 🧵
Sigh. Just as we were thinking the departure of Sanctuary Personnel had seen these awards released from the grip of the recruitment industry, here’s an international trade/lobbying body for recruitment agencies sponsoring adult social worker of the year. 🤦🏻♂️
