I’d love to read the original screenplay. I know he’s credited with ‘saving,’ it - but I’d like some sense of what he saved it from.

There’s plenty to discuss about how Starmer has gone about his time as Prime Minister. There are plenty of stories worth writing.

I thought it was actual Lego from the thumb, and wondered how that could possibly be cheaper than traditional methods!
Looks great in principle, though. Love the idea of sending them a CAD file and getting a kit and instruction book back.
