Funerals should just be car boot sales of all your stuff with a jacket potato and real ale stall, and everyone can wander round your stuff reminiscing about how weird you were, and wondering why you’ve so many sea-salt dispensers. The family can keep the money or donate it to charity.

Very true, though I know nothing about procurement, I understand that government spending is complex
Reform UK has uncovered the scandal of a “wasteful” £350m contract.
Small problem: it’s not a contract. Or £350m. Or a scandal.
But apart from that, spot on! 😬
The Bear explains how Reform got it completely wrong ⤵️

Guessed my tactical vote correctly, though I fear Reform uk will still do well 😭
This exactly. By voting Reform, you're trying to persuade panicking advisers that Reform's offer is popular and should be copied. You don't get better policies by rewarding the worst policies. Go out and vote, take your photo ID, and use this: stopreformuk.vote

A Norfolk aquarium firm and a Diss-based glassmaker were caught up in a bizarre US trade blunder –
- leaving a Pacific island facing a 29% tariff, despite having no trade with America at all.

fascinating thread, had no idea about this
Many people haven’t even heard that Finns fought an extremely bloody if brief civil war in 1918. The victorious Whites were originally dead set on eliminating the “Red bacillus” for good. Mass killings were common, and Finland was the first European country to introduce concentration camps.

He doesn't get it 🤯 they're fighting to save their country from an aggressor, it's really not that difficult.
Shocking & shameful from Trump. Is there not a single journalist in the White House with the courage to step up and point out Zelenskyy is the democratically elected leader of a sovereign country who is bravely standing against the illegal invasion of Ukraine by a murderous dictator?
