When 'Mr Atlantic', David Lammy, is telling you that Trump is bad and we need to rethink our nation's strategy, perhaps No 10 should listen?
Right now, they are not.

Watching this government deal with crisis like Trump is like watching the then Tory government deal with COVID19.

The #DUP #TUV and loyalist activist 
continue to waste massive sums of taxpayers money arguing that Ireland’s national language shouldn’t be on signage in Ireland; meanwhile there’s insufficient housing, agricultural pollution affecting much of our AONB and water bodies, prices are about to rise exponentially because of Trump tariffs, a UK ETA for visitors to six countries of Northern Ireland that will cost tourism and hospitality a lot in discontinued bookings, and a likely rise in unemployment as the effect of tariffs impact around the world.
But two languages on a signboard……. Pass the smelling salts.

Open Rights GroupWrite to your MP: Allow physical proof of immigration statusWhat's the problem?

These could be physical cards or stamps or stickers in their passports. The Home Office planned to replace these physical documents with e-Visas by the end of December 2024. These plans failed and now millions of people are having to use expired documents to prove their right to be in the UK.

The Data Bill strips back your right to human review of automated decisions that have life-changing impacts.
It flips the script, forcing you to prove a mistake has been made when AI gets it wrong – the scales of justice further imbalanced.

38 DegreesAI says NO: Tell Keir Starmer that people, not machines should oversee life-changing decisionsClause 80 of the Government’s Data (Use and Access) Bill could strip away your right to decide whether people or machines make decisions that impact our lives.
Big Tech and Whitehall are eager to cut costs by using AI algorithms to make crucial decisions about you. Soon, computers—not people—could determine the outcome of your benefit claims, job applications, or mortgage approvals.

Even the limitation on automated decision-making using 'special category data' could be sidestepped by relying on the loophole of 'authorised by law' in the UK Data Bill.

Automated decisions could be made in policing "on the basis of their socioeconomic status, regional or postcode data, inferred emotions, or even regional accents."
The UK Data Bill puts marginalised groups at risk of opaque and unfair automated decisions that replicate inherent biases in the data.

The UK Data Use and Access Bill strips away your right to not be subjected to life-changing decisions made solely by AI, apart from where special category data is used.
But, as the letter says, "there are many contexts in which non-special category personal data acts as a proxy for protected characteristics."
