In an alternate world where Ed Miliband had bit his sandwich slightly differently we'd be living in a glorious European zero carbon utopia.

Ugh. How often vape fans come out with their akcually it isn't smoking.

Crap is exactly the right word with Corbyn.
Defend his actual views all you like. He was right on a lot of things.
But he just wasn't very good as a leader. He never wanted to be leader. And it showed

I doubt it will make a difference to them at all. The GOP were already going all out using every trick in the book to find loop holes and completely ignore the spirit of the law.

What of the argument you frequently see that a big problem with the Dems is they have spent decades behaving like everything is normal and healthy whilst the Republicans are playing a very different game and undermining the system at every turn?

Somehow I suspect she didn't pay that much for it given she's had it since 92

Local election form came.
I have to vote for 3 people.
Curious to see the Tories have just nominated 1....
What should I read into that?

The moment where the glorious renewable powered Ed future started?

Dirty at least does some description. Dirty fries - it's fries with lots of stuff on it.
Cheeky fries... Is what. Fries with a bum on the packet?

Who'd have thought you'd be getting london journalists in Ashy before they reopened the Northumberland line

Fingers crossed for a suitably Australian response.

Even assuming an anti trans viewpoint, quite an amazing jump from "changed his clothes somewhere he shouldn't have been allowed to" (as bigots would put it. Of course she should have been allowed) to "predator"

Smoking ban for people born after 2008 in the UK agreed The

Unexpected great news.
Now do twitter.

How very British of them.

This is our moment, we're on the cusp of a BIG win for pedestrians in England We know pavement parking is not only an irritation for many, but outrightly dangerous to wheelchair users, visually impaired people and parents walking their children to school. Write to your MP toda...

One of the downsides of living in Wales is I can't get involved in this @livingstreets.bsky.social campaign to address pavement parking. But for those of you in England, perhaps take a look? act.livingstreets.org.uk/page/189938/...

Sunderland-Villa....
50 mins in: Well, they are a European team. We just aren't at that level yet. Anything gained here would have been a bonus.
Full time: ...well that was a terrible defeat. To be so close to winning. One little mistake... and then to lose.

IMO its been quite clear for a while now that the 'smart' move for the Lib Dems is to take advantage of the Tories going insane to become the sensible pro-European liberal conservative party.
With the rise of the Greens this seems even more the smart move for the LDs.

Even ignoring the morality of needing to help Ukraine and just looking at it from a pure brutal real politic perspective. Money to Ukraine has to rank as the best value defence spending for a long time. For so comparatively little the Russian threat is being neutered. Plus all the live research.

Thats what I've been thinking too.
They're crying out for budget increases for fancy new equipment...
When surely what Ukraine has shown is with the same budget we can have a far more capable force by shifting what we spend it on?

Not sure if house or Waterstones...

This doesn't even make sense. Tonnes of beaches are dog free. Loads of non-muslim people whinge about dogs on beaches :/

I consider it a positive sign when the ads I'm getting are completely irrelevant to me.

I think I'm missing part of the story here. Bradford is bad?

It is a thing that is getting some noticed that whilst minimum wage is increasing quite well (though still being minimum remains at a not very good level) , "decent" wages are staying quite flat

I'm sure you feel very proud of yourself.

Undo the enclosure of the Internet.

Isn't the story that the ballroom is the front but the project is really about the data centre beneath?

(possible conspiracy theory. No idea how true)

I mean when it comes down to it the two foreign countries to have conquered England in the past thousand years are the French and the Dutch so....

Meant not so much with regards the cornish (my only negative there is Cornwall is so damn far) and rather more other historic causes of mining communities.

That's like someone in the 1930s being asked for their opinion on Hitler going "He makes lovely paintings and his takes on fashion really are bringing something special to the world. The world needs more leaders unashamed to wear shorts"
