Dull, disappointing, not nearly as effective an administrator as I’d expected, and utterly misled on immigration. But compared with the previous half dozen MPs… I would take him any day.

If you are paying for Microsoft 365 and don't want all the AI, CoPilot and Cloud shite then enter chat with them and tell them you want the basic version. It isn't available directly from the web site - you have to go and hassle them and it is £50 a year cheaper. You are paying the extra £50 for AI

I thought Starmer would be dull but effective administrator, a safe pair of hands, and GOKs the country needed that after the previous years. I didn’t expect him to chase Reform policies and refuse to stand up for the most vulnerable in society.

What a great question! As it happens, scientists only documented sharks making noise for the first time *LAST YEAR*!
Time to rewrite the textbooks.
