Starmer is playing the wrong game. As Captain Kirk said to Spock, "not chess, Mr Spock, poker".

First thing I'd do to flush out the patriots is to announce that the UK will no longer recognise dual passport holders.

I'm in Spain for Semana Santa. Its all impressive stuff with processions every day in every town.

The church is like football - great stadia, vocal crowds, dodgy managers and lets you down more often than not.

We had a back boiler for 30+years and it worked well, but the end came several years ago and we got a combi as a replacement.

In summer, the back boiler was on for an hour in the morning and one in the evening. This was for hot water. The hot water came through to the taps in maybe 10 seconds.

An offer of 4.5% is good. They don't do themselves any favours by just being greedy. Then of course they want the Uber rich to pay taxes when they fleece the passengers.
Train drivers who are members of ASLEF have voted to go on strike on the Elizabeth line in London. Drivers will walk out on 27th February, 1st March, 8th March and 10th March from 00:01 to 23:59.

Parents / bill payer can regulate what children and others users on their internet connection can access by using parental controls. This is what children are used to at school. Such stuff should be the default on domestic internet and the bill payer should request access to porn or terrorism sites.

Stepping back from the two big stories of the moment, pretty much all of the platforms where the Southport killer indulged his passions for violence, genocide & murder are owned & controlled by men who were in the prime seats at Donald Trump’s inauguration yesterday.

And they all *hate* regulation…

If I owned a house worth £2m and my kids lived with me, they'd have to sell it to pay the IHT and move elsewhere. What's the difference with #farmers paying #IHT ?

The government could raise billions by modifying stamp duty so that there's a 10% tax on the price of property sales. The market would adjust and the government would have enough money to build the houses needed + whole lot more. A bonus is that Daily Fail would meltdown. What's not to like?

@allotmentcat.bsky.social super cats.

Can you help? I've not followed you just yet, but I've added you to my list called allotments. Did you get a notification that you've been added to a list? Thanks.
