There's no money for HS2. Govt had to break an election promise and raise NI. They had to cut winter fuel allowance. Yet they've managed to shake the magic money tree to find a few billion quid for an ID card system to accomplish an objective it is incapable of accomplishing.

We already have ‘right to work’ checks for employment. This won’t change that. ‘Illegal’ working isn’t done through the kinds of employers who do this. This won’t help that at all.

I applied to vacate a 1st hearing in a case for a defendant who is out of the country and who told the police he would be out of the country when they gave him the hearing date. It's been a week and a half since I submitted the application - hearing is tomorrow. Still no decision. Happens every time

Throughout the world, there are many different ways to settle disagreements and disputes. For obvious reasons, not everything ends up in front of a judge. Legal action happens when two parties cannot settle their differences. If you want to settle a dispute by Sharia principles, feel free. /1

Drug company: we can't over charge for medicine in the UK. This needs to change or we won't make obscene profits. Me: and my tiny 🎻 trying not to 🤣 www.independent.co.uk/news/busines...

Still the summit of Reddit.

The “Ed Davey is obsessed with Farage” takes are weird. A) The media is obsessed with Farage B) If the next election looks anything like the polling, it will basically be a progressive/populist bloc election. Labour won’t be Davey’s enemy. They’ll be his path to govern.

Sir Sadiq Khan the first London mayor to win a historic third term, was included in the 2018 Times 100 list of most influential people in the world and is currently living rent free in the presidents head being number 13 on the presidents ‘list of things I hate’ address at the UN assembly.

Why do news shows bother getting these idiots on? Channel 4 News has a woman on who is using a bizarre filter and who seems to think that fact checking trump's lies is laughable. Just stop broadcasting interviews with idiots who think the truth is unimportant.

Just as an aside on this: I understand Antifa isn’t an organisation and it seems like Stupid Trump. But I feel the next step will be for the regime to define who or what is Antifa. The parameters are specifically vague so anyone Trump doesn’t like can be branded a terrorist.

Throughout my life some things have been much cheaper than I anticipated (washing machines), others much costlier (curtains!), but finding out that one week of respite care in a Suffolk care home is £1,950 has blown my mind in a way that hard drugs could not.

It's really cold but I can't bring myself to put the heating on yet.

Nigel Farage claim: "We are not the world's food bank, it is not for us to provide welfare to people coming in from all over the world" Reality: The average migrant on the Skilled Worker visa had a net fiscal impact of +£16,300 in 2022/23. In contrast, the average UK-born adult had about +£800

Reform look increasingly like 1980s BNP all Farage needs to do is say that, "we should send 'em back where they come from" and the look will be complete.

Asked by Newsweek whether she thought Tommy Robinson had been "unfairly demonised", Liz Truss says: “Yes, I do.” A Conservative Party serious about ever regaining power would have slung her out long ago. www.newsweek.com/liz-truss-br...

This, it seems, is what the BBC had in mind when it drew up plans in March to alter “story selection” to win over Reform voters.

Wasn't Badenoch touting this guy as her hero like, last month?

If you throw in attacks on dual citizenship and this proposal ends up affecting the friends and family of a much wider range of voters than Farage seems to assume including Reform supporters

Why is buying a car so hard? My gf knows what she wants but Mercedes don't have one. They can get her one, but can't guarantee the price or the finance or the colour, or anything else about it until it arrives. All the car makers we've been to are the same. It really shouldn't be this difficult.

I've been trying to understand why this isn't generating as much fury as it should, and i think it's because there is a fundamental belief among many americans that the military can pretty much do whatever (which isn't entirely inaccurate.) that said, what the actual fuck.

This is one of those cases where you should probably moan about your boss down the pub rather than tarnish your reputation publicly. I don't know this lad but I can't imagine it will stand him in good stead when he looks for future employment elsewhere. www.lawgazette.co.uk/news/junior-...

I've just seen that Farage wants Brits to renounce other citizenships. I can't help but think this is because the German's refused his application for German nationality after Brexit and he's still in a mood about it.

I can't believe these two are still at it all these years later.

Is working while at uni supposed to be a new thing now? I did it in the 90s. My brother did it in the 80s. The student in the story is working about 12.5 hours a week. I did 20. Feels like nothing changed. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Lindsey Halligan is a 2013 law grad, an insurance lawyer, who acted as Trump's personal lawyer for several years and is now tasked with bringing the Smithsonian into ideological compliance. In the context of the Trump Administration this makes her well qualified to be US Attorney.

I’m old enough to remember when barristers were attached for being “fat cats”

Even the best of the best can't be good at everything.

Sunday's MIRROR: The jail VIP #TomorrowsPapersToday

This is nonsense. At the point I quit X, it had become unusable. I only had to be on it a minute to see bigotry of one kind or another. And anyone who thinks they will change hearts and minds with reasoned debate online is more deluded than liz truss.

The Lib Dems are right. I know for a fact that a lot of Russian interference isn’t publicised. The Government needs to start calling it out every time it happens so that the public understands we’re at war,

“I saw more paintings than any human being has ever saw, and statues, but they treated us great.” Trump added that he ate “whatever the hell they served us”. US president reminisces about his UK visit on Air Force One.

Also got a Dyson fan once, easily 3x the price of the second most expensive option I had. Crap build quality, and didn't do what it said on the tin. Went to return it and the lass I spoke to said more than 3/4 of the ones sold had been returned. Shoddiest, most expensive rip-off brand ever.

Outrageous behaviour by Meta but they've never hidden that they have the right to do this because users agree to it when they accept the T&Cs. I no longer post photos of myself or my kids online because of these terms.

The Online Safety Act was never going to address the real issues. See also hate speech.

I think he means Brexit was worth it even though it made OTHER people poorer. Twat.

Stephen Yaxley-Lennon being deported twice in 24 hours - first from Colombia, then from Panama - because he’s deemed a national security threat, just a week after he led a march calling for migrants to be deported, is the kind of schadenfreude we can all savour.

After promising to root out waste and ensure taxpayers' money is spent on "things that matter", Andrea Jenkyns wants to spend £147,000 on answering her emails. Somebody call DOGE!

In fairness, it's £7k to cover the time for someone to read Andreas emails and £140k for someone to explain them to her through the medium of potato printing

Is celebs cooking the new celebs writing kids books? Last time I saw Saturday Kitchen they had a once famous singer on to cook. Today it looks like Bre Larson will be showing us how to make "Italian Sliders", whatever they are.

Russia Today was thrown out of the UK because the level of misinformation it peddled was a danger to UK democracy. However, it never called for the overthrow of the UK government. This loathsome creature and his cesspit platform should face an immediate ban.

This feels like the biggest problem facing every labour government... they just can't stop fighting each other when right now they should be fighting Yaxley-Lennon, fromage, et al.

Also, prosecutor of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell

Better still, just email this to me... the company has my email address and this letter is going straight in the shredder.

Just a reminder 150k fascists marched through central London on Saturday. But in the UK there were 194,000 parkrunners plus 33,000 junior parkrunners, and 29,000 volunteers in total #parkrun

Written by a doctor at St Thomas' Hospital, London after the Tommy Robinson march on 13/9.

It melts my head that X is still used for official Government communications, and, catching up on today's news and the fact we have a foreign billionaire inciting violence on our streets, it's clearer than ever that this should end. I raised this in Parliament last week 👇

Could you send a PS please? Ask the government to come off Twitter and use any other social media to get public messages across. The government should not be putting money in Musk's pocket when he is trying to undermine the rule of law in this country. You might ask the Tories to move as well.

Ed Davey is right. Musk’s abuse of social media ownership to destabilise our democracy should now be treated as a serious national security threat, resulting in appropriate countermeasures. I have little faith that Starmer will rise to the challenge, however.
