This. They don't stand for, or give a shit about anything. Only bring in charge. First it was this way within Labour and now the country.
Labour suspended their own MPs for wanting to end the child benefit cap.
They only lifted the cap when the Green polled higher than them in a couple of polls and showed Labour would lose many of their seats.

With all this talk about Lost Odyssey, I feel like it's worth pointing out that MistWalkers latest Fantasian. Feels a lot like a spiritual bed fellow. Especially in the story telling stakes.

Proof you can have all the money in the world and still be an absolute fucking loser.
Musk has apparently manipulated Grok so much that it says he's a better athlete than LeBron James and a funnier comedian than Jerry Seinfeld.
Imagine being so insecure you need to program an LLM to boost you like that.

Royal mail are the absolute fucking worst. This is what privatisation does. It takes what was a reliable service and turns it into the worst possible version of it. They can't even deliver a fucking parcel. Or they do but to the wrong address. Absolute joke. Fuming.
