Because our media won’t let it go. They are baying for blood and will continue their attempt to hound him out of post, whereupon, if they were to be successful, they would then focus with the same intensity on removing his successor.
Very excited about this census
As an old bird who thinks she really can’t be as old as she is, I agree. However there is also something great about the freedom age gives to not give a f¥ck. And we often have less to lose
Yay well done Greens
I think its hilarious how us mature types act so similarly. Greg has your number
Me too. I was a big Redhead fan. My mother had Today (and R4 in general) on every day so I was indoctrinated from an early age. And I also got to listen to Hitchhiker’s Guide… 💚
I haven’t listened to Today since they lost Mishal and Martha. I don’t know whose decisions those were but they didn’t work for me. Who listens to it now?
On another note Reform has a terrible track record for picking their people. A coercive abuser this time!
I’m invested in this now
Another altruistic crypto billionaire donates to Reform to help rebuild public services….
As if.
This is pure corruption.
Buying power and influence, in a bid to loosen regulation and make more money. For themselves.
They couldn’t give a shit about the country.

I used to be very wary of teenage males until my wee boy grew into one. He and his friends were delightful and I now approach hoodied lads with more love in my heart. Having said that, there are many things I wouldnt want to overhear. I was bombarded by teen girls on a bus recently. My ears 😱
I would think so but he does have a Y chromosome
No bleedin’ way
BlackRock said it was “incredibly excited” to “partner with GMPF to accelerate the availability of private capital for these essential assets”.
Okay but I’m *not* excited to accelerate the availability of essential public assets to private capital.

Oh blimey you‘ve hit the nail on the head and made me even more worried 😱
"About a third of children are now growing up in poverty."
Michael Marmot, the UK’s leading expert on health equity, urges Prime Minister Keir Starmer to take bold action to tackle child poverty in this interview with The BMJ

Tehran is terrific. I started watching before recent events and finished series 3 since the Israeli/US attacks. Life imitating art….
Yes thats the parallel here. Very scary
I imagine so. But they were bright, articulate people who were effectively brain washed Into believing nonsense. Seeing an ex PM standing up there spouting crap just validates their viewpoints. And they won’t be alone. I also have US friends who are appalled and I hope the pendulum will swing back
2 years ago we met up with distant US cousins of my OH in central London. They were well off & it quickly became clear they were MAGA. It quickly became clear to them that I didn’t agree with their views on Islam/the NHS. I found it terrifying that the (some?) US middle class were so radicalised
But the MAGA lot will listen as it fits their world view. Confirmation bias. It does need to be challenge. I have to say I choked when she said all people want to do is buy a house and a car. Her flipping budget stuffed our economy. And what is her new look about? MAGA Barbie Truss? Just grim
That bit rather stands out
I wrote about the findings from the inquiry about the impact of the pandemic on the NHS, and the mistakes of the first year.
I hope it makes you angry - it should make us all angry.

Screenshot of a Times article covering McMurdock’s past.
Reform UK said I was 'bullying' when I pointed out their colleague was jailed for beating up his former partner.
Now, they're trying to sneak him back into their party. So I'll say it again:
James McMurdock was jailed for beating up his former partner.

I‘m a pet owner and it costs. I’ve chosen to have a pet and can afford our independent vets luckily. Think about what has happened to dentistry and now pets. We really cannot afford for the NHS to go this way. Look at the USA health horrors. Examine what politicians say about the NHS before you vote
The Chinese are at the forefront of renewables and reducing CO2 emissions. We have to look at what they are doing right
We've got to solve the cause; that's the crazy link between the wholesale price of gas setting the price of our electricity.
And we’d better find out exactly how much given pressure on our domestic bills and the grid.
