Jacobus Lentz has a lot to answer for. Never heard of him? He’s the only reason some of you object to Digital ID, the FT as usual cut through the drama to say why it should happen.

You know how sometimes you need a kick to empty the bins and take the rubbish out, hopefully the Conservatives will get on with it now and kick the rest out.
"If you've had enough of politicians, if you don't trust Westminster, join us."
What a revolting, cynical statement for a man who was an MP of the party that ruled for 14 years until five minutes ago - and David Cameron's speech writer before that.
What contempt for voters. ~AA

You can’t win with the public on “targeted” immigration because everyone has different priorities. Some want doctors, some want cheap food packers, so it comes down to what people think they see around them. #immigration #starmer

Amazing stuff #Adolescence binge watch it now and get emotional.
If #adolesence doesn’t win every single Emmy this year, then I truly don’t understand anything about great cinema. The acting is without hyperbole the best I have ever seen, the writing was topical and real, and the directing unique and masterful. #netflix #movies #tv #emmys #acting #directing

Simple electoral fact, most voters pay more, a few voters pay less, hence electoral suicide.

Kemi Badenoch at #PMQs: "We had a budget in March this year and tractors were not blockading the streets of Whitehall afterwards."
Here are the tractors blockading the streets of Whitehall in March this year. They were protesting - you really couldn't make this up - Badenoch's trade policies. 😂

Bluesky is like a very early Twitter, still full of promise but not there yet. Trouble is how soon does it reach later Twitter and past its best?
