Occasionally posting up to 300 characters in the hope that some of them make sense. Hope springs eternal in the human breast, apparently.
To be fair, it’s the Labour Party which should be hammering a workers’ rights message home to undeline how they’re different from RefUK in a good way, rather than bashing migrants in an attempt to look like a tamer version of RefUK.

Enough with the outrage theatre.
If Reform stands for ordinary working people, why did all their MPs vote against the Workers’ Rights Bill?
You can’t wedge immigration into that one. It’s just the record.

Lichenomphalia umbellifera on an algae-covered stick. This species of mushroom is a basidiolichen lichen. Fungal hyphae integrate with algal cells, using the food produced by the algae through photosynthesis.

Been working from home since 2009
Managed to feed and house my 2 children while reimbursing a divorce debt of roughly €60k with my lack of productivity - no way I could have done that with the local jobs in my area
But hey thank you Nigel for your insights 👍

BREAKING: Nigel Farage calls for an end to working from home and the focus on work-life balance
"People aren't more productive working from home - it's a load of nonsense”
Whatever you do JUST DON’T VOTE REFORM!

Is this the torture video? 2009 "The American citizen is a former business partner of Sheikh Issa, and claims he, too, was tortured in the UAE after the pair fell out. Nabulsi said the first tape was shot by his brother on the orders of Sheikh Issa, who liked to view them later for his own pleasure"

At a time when we’re discovering that it’s super easy for lunar landers to tip over when landing on the moon’s uneven surface, Musk is proposing to use a 52m tall Starship as a lander. That’s just one reason I’m not holding my breath.

Here's why the private Athena lunar lander toppled over on the moon
Several issues conspired to bring Athena down, including tough lighting conditions near the moon's south pole.

Sounds legit. I know I regularly email people I hardly know to plan visits to their private islands. Doesn’t everyone?

I try not to be cynical, but in a country where an obvious fraud like Farage is being touted as the next PM, it’s hard to be trusting.

Of course, it might be that Farage’s wife wasn’t productive while working at home. Knowing what a massive grifter Farage is, maybe her “job” was just a fiction, a way of putting money into the family coffers without any actual work being done.
I don’t know if this was the case, but it’d be on brand

Reform UK approached Bangor University to ask whether Sarah Pochin (Reform MP) could come to debate. They said no, and this is the response they get
Reform would behave exactly as Donald Trump. Don't agree with them, and they will penalise, threaten, defund, and cancel you. They are proto fascists.
