NEW COLUMN: Is the rise of the robots a race to the robot-tom? In which I examine the increasing prevalence of humanoids in our online feeds, and robots in our real world communities. What is the end game? And can the #IsleOfWight be humanity's salvation?!

So anyway, I've kissed #BillyCasper and held a real life kestrel already and we haven't even had the screening of #Kes yet! #TopNight at @quayarts!
This is why they have us fighting each other - to justify military spending. We are collateral. Democracy is a scam to appease the masses; the real power is in the hands of private (military) companies.

Today Iโm announcing a major investment in our nuclear deterrent, supporting 22,000 apprenticeships.
Keeping this country safe is the first responsibility of any government - but security isnโt just about what we build, itโs about who builds it.
The submarines produced in Barrow protect us all, the jobs and apprenticeships they create change lives.
This is Britain - reindustrialised.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The funding was originally announced in the Defence Investment Plan under former PM Keir Starmer earlier in 2026, with the work on the DIP having started a year prior, before Burnham was even an MP.
