It was such a weird PMQs. I don’t know why they decided to bang on about this. I doubt it has real cut through, it just teed Starmer up to look good and in control.
I really think with a more capable LOTO Starmer would be gone already.

That, is incredible. I love the fact they’re named now. Top work.

I feel the need to rebalance your replies. I think it’s a really good article that raises some really interesting and valid points.
I still feel a profound loss of Twitter.
I also must know what you got renamed on the tube map?

It’s also not that hard to make some of this very achievable. One of the biggest barriers I saw for mature students wasn’t money, it was lack of ability to plan caused by timetabling and room availability. Made it difficult for childcare, work. All sorts. Measuring unis on consistent…

I’m confused. Aren’t a big chunk of the constraints fiscal? But here he’s talking tax rises which the current government have ruled out?

I logged back on there to see what was going on and learnt they were all in a fever pitch about a horrific murder that I had seen nowhere else, with accompanying footage obviously. Using it to justify both racism and cars. It’s worrying anyone of note is still using X.

This isn’t new. When I did clinical advising in control over a decade ago we booked with Addison Lee if the patient was safe to travel and needed transport. The average 999 call out back then cost £170 and the taxi was like £20.

This is fortuitously timed. I’m nearing the end of a rewatch and Senator Vinick effectively came out as an atheist in the press. The whole show has humongous “Hot take I had before Stephen Bush explained why it was electorally insane” ™️ energy.

Superb thread. I’d add a permeating mindset of “no building” that comes from our stagnant planning system and leads to this acceptability of nothing changing. It’s most frustrating that it’s pervaded all political parties. Radical reform is needed but someone nicked that word.

Monzo has 14 pre made funds you can pick from.
My rule of thumb is if I need/could need those savings in the next 6 months they stay in savings. If they can sit longer into an investment.
My savings get 4%. Investments 16% in the last 3 months.

…and how to prevent it happening again. I’m fairly certain on shifting to a consent first based model, because that would also stop a mass data scrape.
Weirdly it ends up sounding like dynamic pricing. Cost of a substack £10/month. Cost for a data scrape £100?
Dunno. Think it’s interesting.

Ok, but isn’t that like Joseph Swan hating lightbulbs instead of hating Thomas Edison?
You have a right to be angry and to seek retribution, but I don’t think it’d reasonably be as much as you’d hope for because you don’t licence your work differently depending on what it’s used for?

True. I also don’t know how we prevent or solve for that either. We weren’t ready for mass data scraping (see my proposed shift from presumed consent for technology use to required consent).
