With the rapid rise of AI, this can't all be pinned on the Labour Government.
While it is horrible for the people who have lost their jobs, it should help with lowering inflation, such is the arseholistic nature of supply and demand economics.

That left-wing BBC which constantly invites rabid communist Nigel Farage onto every show they possibly can. 🤦

Graham Stuart is the reason I can't vote Conservative. 14 years they were in office and decimated public services, yet he's quick to blame Labour for the issues with prisons.
He's not sorry for fucking us all over, he's just sorry we voted him out. His ilk is a stain on the party. #BBCQT

Catching up on Question Time #BBCQT and Tim Stanley wanting someone sacked from the prison services for the mistaken release of prisoners.
Not sure creating a new vacancy which won't be filled will solve the problem. All prisons should be government run, with good pay and security.

I look at the polls for voter intention and wonder what the Lib Dems plan to do?
They don't offer revolutionary hope like the Greens (or if you're racist, Reform), while they're not quite the establishment like Labour and the Tories.
I feel like they need to start being more revolutionary.

History of the Tories:
Sold off the energy industry
Sold off the water industry
Sold off the rail industry
Sold off the Royal Mail.
They sell things to fund their budget, but it devastates future governments.
How else can we raise money if profit from here goes to individuals? Through taxation 😞

The Tories "Look at how broken everything is under Labour, definitely nothing to do with us critically underfunding everything for 14 years."
The Tories should be absolutely ashamed of themselves for attacking the current government given how long they were in power for and caused the problems.

Anyone who honestly thinks that Britain is socialist and that's why the country is failing needs to go back to school and learn politics.
Capitalism is destroying this country, there are plenty of good business owners, but PEFs are tearing us apart to maximise profits.

I'm definitely looking to move away from O2 as a result of the increased price rise, luckily my contract ends in January, but I don't see why there should be any mid-contract prices.
Give me a fixed price so I know how much it'll be over 2-3 years, even if it's slightly more now.

Hardly a surprise to see Will Still being sacked by Southampton. I looked him up and actually, his record as a manager is pretty awful.

I really wish fast food companies would prioritise people who actually go to their establishments, because as a result of the Uber Eats, Just Eat and Deliveroo deliveries, fast food has become slow food.

I don't want to be one of those doom merchants for Portsmouth, but good god we're awful.
The problem we've got is in January, the likes of Southampton, Sheffield United and Norwich will have more spending power to get themselves out of trouble.
We will need to spend to improve our squad.

Caught up on #PMQs yesterday and Kemi Badenoch annoyed me when she spoke about Labour wanting to tax more.
What else are they supposed to do when the Tories sold off the energy companies, the water companies and the railways?
And the final kicker is they've made the idea of borrowing more toxic.

Feeling a little bit more political than usual this morning, so apologies for the upcoming rants.

For the second year in a row, I've not seen any #GBBO, and even the year before that I only watched about three episodes.
I'd like to see them mix up the format a bit and maybe have a league instead, then we can get to know everyone and it gives all contestants a chance to show off their skills.

It might be premature and I'm biased being a Portsmouth fan, but surely Will Still has to be under a lot of pressure at Southampton.
They lost their best players, but they also spent £50m on players. I could understand not being in the top 6, but to be hovering outside the relegation zone is bad.

Thoughts go out to Sheffield Wednesday fans today.
You don't deserve to be going through what you're going through, but hopefully something positive can come out of this.
I hope you get an owner who will take you to where you deserve to be, back in the Premier League.

The last time I had a photo with a Portsmouth football player, he went on to play in the Champions League, which he's currently doing.
So I expect big things from Callum Lang.

Has anyone noticed the difference in attitude when different groups are taxed more?
When most of us are taxed more, we're told to give up luxuries in order to afford it.
When the rich are asked to pay more tax, the media protects them and doesn't ask them to sell some company shares to pay it.

The right wing don't just play on your fears, they make your fears.
They tell you the people with different skin colour aren't to be trusted.
As a result, society becomes hostile towards them, they don't integrate and form their own communities. The right wing then point it out as evidence.
