This is exactly it.
Even if he did know and is just throwing Robbins under the bus, the public don't care, it's Westminster bubble drama to most.
That's why Johnson got undone by partying when the plebs couldn't.
Not any of his other stuff.
Who the f** knows what proroguing parliament means?

When Angela Rayner underpaid £40,000 in stamp duty, Richard Tice said it was "morally completely indefensible” and she should resign if she had “any moral decency”.

Now we learn he set up four shell companies that let him avoid paying £100,000 he owed in tax and to then transfer the cash to Reform

Tonight an old friend from work invited me out in Manchester and I saw a German drum machine, programmed synth guy playing bass and singing.

Followed by an Australian synth guitar punk band.
Amazing night.

AI has all but shut down the routes to proving yourself via grunt work in so many industries. All the best juniors I trained came in via that way. They didn’t have the social connections or money to position themselves for the success they proved more than capable of, AI is gutting social mobility

Previous "industrial revolutions", printing,mining,car assembly all promised retraining and new knowledge jobs.
How many miners/auto workers etc got retrained and ended up being managers or accountants.
The compound issue with AI is that it removes more knowledge work.
Are we all to become CEOs?

Perhaps she's doing like the Met office app does with temperature for wind chill factor.
That 11% "feels" like 72%.
I'm sure I can't imagine what metric she uses to x6 it...

Well of course I've seen reports of dying children on the news, but that can hardly rank against the barbarity of taxing wealthy billionaires!

Second only to crafting the perfect witty reply to a post only to find when you hit the reply button they've deleted the original. Cruelly denying you your fifteen minutes of viral fame.

I used to work with that person in a software company.
Would angrily proclaim he had hit an insurmountable problem....... Only to proudly announce two hours later that he had... surmounted it.
Not realising this just made us doubt his ability to assess problems...
