My Lenovo Smart Clock is dying. No good for bedside with all the flicking. Anything similar on the market which supports Google Assistant these days?

Hate it when Royal Mail are used for a parcel. The tracking assumes that the postman will deliver in the morning, but most times it is not him. It also has it down as still in Nottingham, but history suggests that it's probably in Newark on a van.

This is one of the problems I have when YouGov ask the question. I believe there is an immigration problem, but mainly around the way the government keep trying to stop it, instead of being honest about it and letting more people in.
Next is open-ending.
Shown here from @ipsosintheuk.bsky.social, immigration also tops the list even when asking open-ends.
We ran our own version of this and found that responses show that mentions of immigration reflect salience rather than a fixed attitude: people raise it for different reasons.

Thought the plan was to smash the smuggling gangs not emulate them.
The Sun has been told Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will on Monday propose confiscating jewellery, watches, necklaces from asylum seekers to meet asylum costs
This reflects the most controversial aspect of the Danish scheme - the Jewellery Law. The toughest Labour MPs thought this was OTT

It will also mean people's refugee status will be reviewed every 2 and half years. If this policy was in place now, that would mean the Home Office having at least another 67k decisions to process over the next year (the number of initial decision grants made between April 2023 and March 2024)
Shabana Mahmood has vowed to end Britain’s “golden ticket” for asylum seekers by forcing people arriving illegally to wait 20 years before they can apply for permanent settlement
Shabana Mahmood: ‘Illegal migration is tearing Britain apart’
The home secretary is planning to introduce a 20-year wait for permanent stay to end a ‘golden ticket’ for asylum seekers

Thanks to months of pitch rolling, the Labour government has now effectively told anyone paying attention that income tax rises are necessary, but they’re not going to do them because they’re politically weak. Let’s see how that plays!

That road runner video is ai, stop sharing it, the movements are floaty and it goes way too fast at the end. Plus road runners run with their heads down not up. Stop letting ai slop poison the internet.

Nothing stopping the paper reporting about licencing applications, they just won't be subsidised for hiding it in the classifieds.

Anyone else trying the Prime Vision for the match. Helps see how far up the field Raya is, along with realtime stats like how high the header was, or the speed of the run in to the box.

I get that there has to be a plan B when the source isn't available, but it's rather fortunate for them that today has been more expensive than the last few days.

I know they are just sponsors, but when I see football stats on Sky Sports with the words "Copilot by Microsoft" next to them, my first thoughts are "have they just made them up?"

Paying holiday makers who came by coach to Cleethorpes seems to be the latest "migrant hotel" outrage. Something needs to be done about how social media is driving these.
