I suspect this measure would have been more effective if they had enacted it BEFORE the govt trained people to use VPNs to watch porn.

Were some of the people agitating to leave the ECHR planning for this all along?

Adobe Acrobat is the worst. I was sent a link to a document by a public sector organisation and there are 4 separate sales pitches that are made to me by Adobe. Disgusting.

It's not called the Nobel Peace and Quiet prize where they just give it to Trump to make him shut the fuck up for a while

Thunderbird is probably less buggy than outlook, so there's that! Or at least it was last time used thunderbird several years ago ..

But some will disagree with his comments that there’s no need for a mandatory code of conduct for lobbyists before they can register. This is something the EU Parliament requires.
💷 And we would question whether the £7.5k maximum fine for breaches of lobbying transparency rules is really enough.

This is unsatisfactory interference in the domestic politics in another country. Trump appears to be giving a huge bailout to the country to prop up a Government that Trump or those around him like. Not for the sake of the country, but for the sake of ideological allies.

If you’re going to another country and telling people they’re going to suffer eternal damnation if they don’t adopt your beliefs and norms, that is not charity, no matter how you justify it with your religion

The more four app is pretty obnoxious with adverts. If you skip to where you had got up to in a previous session you are shown adverts. Then if you went too far and rewind a bit you're served another reel of adverts. It's a really unpleasant experience

This is the confidential settlement offer Barrowman/Mone made to the Government, offering to settle the litigation for £23m.

(We'd never normally see this, but for unfathomable reasons, Mone posted it on X.)

I don't see any introspection from Americans about how to prevent a future president abusing their power in the same way. Maybe people are reeling from the barrage and don't yet have time to analyse

Surely every insurance decision should be decided by an external impartial organisation, rather than the people who stand to gain a lot by denying cover...
