Some technologists have argued that, over the past decade, machines have #evolved to attain intelligence, some enthusiasts even claiming mechanical sentience. Yeah, whatever.

But one thing is undeniable: since 2016, humans have #devolved, losing our humanity, empathy, comity, conscience, and intelligence.

Thanks, #AI and #SocialMedia.

John Swinney says #Scotland not invited to Cobra meeting on Iran war

It comes after #Starmer told business chiefs in #DowningStreet on Monday that it must be a “joint effort” to tackle the impact of the #war, saying the Government “can’t do it on its own”.

However, #devolved #governments have NOT been asked to take part in the meeting.

94% of NHS outsourced contracts expire in next parliament

In April Labour pledged to bring our rail services into public ownership as their current private contracts expire

Labour can do the same thing in the #OurNHS

Take 1 minute to send our letter to Labour’s health lead & demand he commit to bring outsourced #NHS services back into NHS when contracts expire

#Healthcare is #devolved matter, what happens in England affects your nation

From Philippa Whitford to Alister Jack. His reply? Basically he called her a liar.

#GenderRecognition is #Devolved, and the #ReformBill from #ScottishParliament was passed 86 - 39 including MSPs from all parties.
It does not change 2010 Equality Act.
