I'm gonna ask here in the UK politics thread because gently caress you that's why.

Why does twitter load in Firefox but not Chrome? I've consistently got the very helpful "Something went wrong" error message on every single tweet in the past week or so on Chrome, but it's completely fine in Firefox. I'm logged out of twitter in both (incidentally I can't log in to twitter on Chrome because "Something went wrong")

Speaking of naan bread. I recommend trying to make it. It's super easy. Yoghurt, self rising flour, salt, ghee, oil or butter to brush with after if you like.

You can just mix it all, form the dough into flat shapes and then cook it in a pan.

My naan recipe involves 90 minutes of waiting which makes it a faff in my opinion. Are you telling me I just mix it and bake?

Post ur nan recips

• 250g plain flour
• 15ml white caster sugar
• 8g dry yeast
• 5ml salt
• 45g greek yoghurt
• 25g olive oil
• 180ml water lukewarm
• 30g unsalted butter melted
• 30g garlic puree
• 30g fresh coriander chopped

1. Whisk together the flour, sugar, yeast, salt
2. Separately, whisk together the yogurt, oil, and water
3. Combine and mix with a fork
4. Knead into a soft, slightly sticky dough
5. Place ball of dough in floured bowl
6. Flour top of ball and cover bowl with damp cloth
7. Leave in warm location for 90m
8. Remove to floured surface and divide into 6
9. Roll out each piece and place in hot skillet
10. When browned on bottom, flip over until browned
11. Remove from pan and brush with garlic butter mixture
12. Sprinkle with chopped coriander

The Budget will contain an £800m package of technology reforms aimed at freeing up NHS and police time, the Treasury has announced.

Chancellor Jeremy Hunt said ahead of the 6 March announcement that there was "too much waste in the system".

As part of the reforms, AI will be used to cut NHS scan times by a third and the police will deploy drones to incidents such as traffic collisions.

How is AI going to do an x-ray

How is a drone going to redirect traffic

Edit: Oh also


quote:

Other key measures in the £800m investment include:

£170m to save up to 55,000 hours a year of administrative time in the justice system through digitising jury bundles and new software to streamline parole decisions

£165m to cut last year's local authority overspend of £670m on children's social care places across England by making 200 additional child social care places available, reducing the reliance on costly emergency places for children

£34m to reduce fraud by a wider AI usage across government agencies - a move expected to save $100m

The Economist has an article on the UK election.

https://www.economist.com/leaders/2024/02/28/how-to-build-a-british-voter

The chart (about the Labour > Conservative cross-over age) was already posted yesterday but the article it came from has lots of choice content.

First, some quotes about the difficulty that the Tories are facing, starting with that nugget:

quote:

Class was once the engine of British politics; increasingly it is your date of birth. At the last election, the age at which voters became more likely to support the Conservatives than Labour was 45. Our data show that at the next one this crossover age will be almost 70.

quote:

In 1997, the year Sir Tony won his first landslide victory, 27% of 18- to 24-year-olds voted Tory; our data suggest that the share of this cohort backing the Conservatives is now just 8%.

quote:

Our model confirms that the tide is going out on the Tories everywhere. The probability that a voter would choose the Tories if the election were held tomorrow has dropped for 96% of British adults since 2019.

quote:

the type of person who has swung most violently against the Conservatives is an older white man with a mortgage living in the north-west of England.

[...]

that year, according to our model, such a man had an 81% chance of voting Conservative. The probability now is just 18%.

quote:

In the 1960s around an eighth of British voters switched their choice between elections. By the early 1980s the figure was closer to a fifth. Next time, our data suggest, the share of voters who intend to change parties will reach two-fifths.

and now some additional lols:

quote:

Things can change between now and the election. Sir Keir might screw up

quote:

Sir Keir does not inspire any great enthusiasm.

and some lol-worthy sensible centrist takes that only the Economist can manage

quote:

Sir Keir must be careful not to pander to his base at the cost of alienating swing voters.

, including this absolutely dire phrase:

quote:

If people are locked into parties, politicians compete within their party over who wins the backing of their own side’s radical true believers. The marketplace for centrist voters does not function; the incentives to govern well are blunted.

I don't understand this. If you're a failed asylum seeker (I.e. Asylum rejected) don't you just get deported? Why does the government need to sweeten the deal?

Paying successful asylum seekers to leave would be the logical (but horribly BNPish) option
