We made a mistake so your mortgages went up, we fixed our mistake. None of these were inline with our beliefs but they were what was needed.

Like, I know they won't, but there are easy ways to be in the media and leading without the bollocks

If you are Tory leader you should be banging on about 'Energy bills went up we helped you with them, Putin started a war we cut your taxes, COVID came we brought in furlough, hospitality was on it knees we bought you dinner, what have this lot done to help you?' style cost of living attacks.

The Johnson government seemed more like Leisure Suit Larry enthusiasts

Our new corgi pup Tulip learns about Tractors on the farm. Kinda looks like she is running for congress.

And some have to pay for the right to use that delivery profile they borrowed so earn even less

I think it typifies Osborne and Cameron's jobs miracle. More jobs sure. But more bad jobs. Reintroducing chattel and fraud. Just unnecessary.

I have never, ever elected to watch a podcast on youtube

I think it's weird to remove it at the same time as the women's game is introduced. International play would be a big attraction there. Who wouldn't want to manage the lionesses?

1934? Were you playing on an abacus?

I think, having followed them for about a year, it no longer knows what it is a critique of above and beyond Lin Manuel Miranda. It kind of sprays spoof of online culture around and gets enough engagement to make it to off Broadway

Bizarre episode of the FT podcast Political Fix today. Like... I get you are happy the Tory party isn't dead but y'know 'I'll leave X treaty and promise some whackadoodle tax cuts based on whackadoodle spending cuts throw up the Vs let's go chaps' is not a phoenix style conference comeback.

I am flabbergasted the new FM26 won't have international management in it. Not that I do so but others okay this way. I don't get why you take it out of the match engine is the same and it's all UI changes.

K Pop Demon Hunters. Frozen with more implied threeways. Tbf it's brilliant. No notes.

Elliott Anderson is going to win us the World Cup and then there will be some weird stuff with Djed and Trump.

The Wales shield crest is so county council coded. It looks like it's stuck on the modern Adidas kit with wonder web by Bellamy's mum.

This Alzheimer's Society team is too small. England is going to absolutely dominate them.

That England has had its three worst harvests on record inside the past five years really should be being treated as a much bigger cause for concern than is currently the case. www.businessgreen.com/news/4520171...

'This is what farming with climate change looks like': England endures second worst harvest on record

New analysis confirms three of the five worst harvests on record have occurred in the past five years on the back of extreme heat, drought, and rainfall

Beautiful design

Think they need to couple this with stopping clubs having ridiculously early last entry times. Otherwise it just goes to certain establishments

We will get rid of stamp duty! And save half of that saving to pay off the deficit! Or something

Wants to experience western values in Dubai? Sounds like someone is not integrating

Do people think he means what he says? No.

Can he tread the line to keep the right side of acceptable language? No

Is he a good orator? No

Does he have the stink on him from the last 14 years? Yes

Does he have any policy? No

Does he look good in pictures? No

Does he have nice radio voice? No

Bob Ozemprick is such a prickly charisma void. The membership would have to be nuts to choose him over Cleverly. There is no artistry to how he mobilises hate, it's blunt and charmless and inauthentic and would get eaten alive by Farage.

He has no redeeming features as a candidate.
