Mind you, Reddit says it's only 1.

Loving the fact that child no. 2 is the spitting image of Line Rider.

I'm going to go with 2 slices.

And I wonder why it became "round" rather than just plate/serving?

They're savvy enough not to submit something that's entirely fabricated, but it's clearly part of their workflow, which they think is ok bc the university has basically said as much. So feedback takes longer, as you're really just coaching them on where the AI has failed them. It's not sustainable.

(In contrast, any Labour MPs who abhor what the current government is doing and can't stand it any more, probably ought to give Zack a call sooner rather than later.)

I get the sentiment here, but I'd have to disagree. The Greens are not just the Labour party without the baggage. We offer a different, and better option.

Or, to paraphrase your post: any Labour MP who thinks they were voted in to do [what Labour has done]...is not welcome in the Green Party.

Well exactly - that's partly what's perplexing me. They are holding back the tide in many areas, and yet I'm surprised to see this not translating into poll changes on a wider scale. Maybe it will with time.

This whole "small boats" issue is ridiculous! It is INSIGNIFICANT

36k people arrived in 2024 = 0.05% of UK population!

568k people died in the UK in 2024. We're not full!

If we paid ALL of them an average wage it would cost you £17 a year. Let them work & you pay nothing.

UK will be better off.

There's another story here - one that I don't personally know how to explain - is the apparent stagnation of the Lib Dems. I've not reviewed this systematically, but I get the impression that everyone else seems to be moving (either up or down) and yet the LDs appear basically at a standstill.

It's not even high-end bicycles. You can ride a £150, 40-year old steel boneshaker and you're still "elitist" if you're also actively campaigning for more active travel, pedestrian safety, etc.

Exactly. This is what Labour don't get, even if there might be a few things they're doing well. You cannot get people to support expansion in renewable energy, renters' rights, more housebuilding, etc etc if you're also pushing kneejerk, morally repugnant policy that demonises vulnerable people.
