Gosh who could have predicted this.

Quite galling for IDS to comment seeing as when he was in govt control of our nuclear power stations was being sold to 🇨🇳 companies.

Some things just need to be under national control. (Not confident seeing as we are still not ending 💧privatisation)

A point not made enough: the UK runs a trade goods deficit with the US so shouldn’t be paying any tariffs at all based on the White House formula (10% is not a “win”).

Four years ago I took these photos of deserted Soho.

Which also serve as an artist's impression of what the new residents trying to close all the decades-old nightlife venues down would like it to be like permanently.

Do you have any idea how difficult it has just been to explain, to my colleagues who didn't grow up in the UK, why Penelope Keith is trending with JFK?!

Obviously I am glad that she is home.

But if you think it was unacceptable for a white woman from Wales to be chained up and treated like this, why is it acceptable for anyone to be treated like this?

Seriously lacking aspect of the conversation.

While I am pleased to see the minimum wage (I am not calling it the "National Living Wage" when it is clearly not) has increased...

...this means that everyone working full time will start repaying student loans from Plan 5 immediately.

Something needs to be adjusted...!

Honestly I don't know why anyone goes to Tesco any more. This feels so over-the-top. Weighing your trolley to check for shoplifting? Just f*ck off - scan them at the checkout for me like before if you're so worried?

All of this instead of just employing more people.
