“Labour has said there will be no rises in income tax or National Insurance if it wins the general election - but some spending cuts have not been ruled out”
…The UK has be ransacked, looted & vandalised by the tories for the last 14 years
“Under Ofcom rules, Conservative MPs Jacob Rees-Mogg and Esther McVey, as well as former Tory deputy chairman-turned Reform MP Lee Anderson, are unable to continue in their presenting roles while they seek re-election”
“Rishi Sunak blocked veterans using their IDs at polling stations over fears it could “open the floodgates” to more students voting, a cabinet minister has revealed
Veterans minister Johnny Mercer complained he had tried “for months without success” to convince Downing Street to let veterans use their IDs to vote”
…If sunak wants to know about vote rigging all he has to do is to call trump
"Bottom line is that Trump didn’t know much and doesn’t even know how to learn more, and you can’t be good at the job without knowing much. That, even more than his disregard for the rule of law, made him a very dangerous president for four years, and given that there’s no evidence he’s learned anything it would make him a very dangerous president again."
“Lib Dems ‘on course to topple leading Tories’ in general election
(…) the results put them on course to challenge the chancellor Jeremy Hunt and the housing and communities secretary Michael Gove in Surrey, and the justice secretary Alex Chalk in Cheltenham”
…Don’t stop there
There’s much good work to be done removing rees-mogg, braverman & sunak.
“A Tory MP has begged local members in his constituency for help after he was caught short without voter ID ahead of local elections

“Tory council splashed £54,000 on Mayoral chauffeur in same month it declared bankruptcy
Thurrock Council, which has hiked bills for local taxpayers after running into financial trouble, faces questions about its use of money over the lucrative chauffeur contract”
…I guess they think if rich! sunak & cameron can private jet around then a chauffeur is quite in order
'On another discussion board, Tesla Motors Club, a Cybertruck owner wrote a review so critical of Tesla’s supposedly highest-tech vehicle that the user was barred from the Cybertruck Owners’ Forum.'
Quite true. And his description ‘A sign of a healthy political system, we are often told, is one where most people get on with their lives and leave politics to the professionals.’ Amuses.
Professional only in that many of them make a living out of it. Not competent. Not bound by some principles or ethics.
My University's Outlook email service just delivered me the same message twice, with the same Message-Id:, but with DIFFERENT CONTENT because of its garbage safelinks. This is madness. #it#incompetence#msft#email#OutsourcingResponsibility
It gets even more incompetent. A replacement flight is on for 6.0 in the morning (still won’t get us back to the hospital shift for partner).
All in a queue. I thought I had better ask. Only half knew about the replacement. No alarms from the hotel. All eligible for flights, Aer Lingus screwed up at least two possible comms routes.
Hey guys, remember the (thankfully departing) "VP-CIO" (maybe demoted?) at my University, who created a user nightmare by outsourcing almost all of our IT? Most recently, he bought into a (second!!!!) scheme from Microsoft that adulterates incoming email in the body of the message, to flag potential phishing.
Now I get this:

Update: it turns out that the new anti-phishing system (which also includes a quarantine system for suspicious emails) is currently quarantining messages from our LMS. #highered#incompetence#cio
