Liz Truss waiting patiently by her phone for Reform to ring, not realising it's actually a penguin biscuit

Still disappointed by this. The graph shows *changes* in polling share compared to the general election. The actual vote shares from the same poll are 29% Labour, 26% Reform, 24% Green 🤨
Labour have blown it. This is it. Time to take on Reform.
Manchesters first Green MP is coming. Join us to help get them elected on Saturday.

PS - The fact that the media was informed of the NEC decision before I was tells you everything you need to know about the way the Labour Party is being run these days.
You would think that over 30 years of service would count for something but sadly not. 🤷🏻♂️

The idea that licensing police officers will put people off joining the profession is laughable. Anyone who doesn't want to go through a standardised national licensing process (just like doctors, solicitors & some accounts do...) to become a police officer, probably shouldn't be a police officer...

Thought I would try ChatGPT again with some finicky but still very basic maths.
AI is going to kill us all not by becoming incompetence but by breaking literally everything. Why are people investing billions in this shit 😭

Today's announcement is the opposite of what it says it is. It's the formal cancellation of the high speed line across the Pennines.
What's left - additional TRU scope - is a good idea but should be delivered as a business as usual enhancement in 2027, not some far off fanfaron.

- cancelled electrification of the Midland Main Line
- cancelled West Yorkshire mass transit
- cancelled the trans-Pennine high speed line
- cancelled HS2 north of Birmingham (previous government hadn't actually done that formally)

I was 20 when HS2 was announced. Great to know i’ll probably be in my late 60s when the Birmingham-Manchester section starts work let alone finishes. Seems like a country doing things the right way!

Trying to contain my ever growing bloodlust for multimillionaire CEOs of services that plainly should be in public control and not making profit
