Some numbers released. Highest Boxing Day footfall for 10 years. And I know why.
Minimum Wage up for 3m people. Wages up for many. Interest rates down. Mortgages down.
Thanks to a strong and stable economy. AKA Rachel Reeves.

I'll strip civil servants of their pensions, but I'm keeping my £73,000 EU pension, despite my attendance record being the 4th worst out of 751 MEPs.

Oh god yes, it's the pretending Labour has backed down that really pisses me off, we had a classic a few weeks ago about Swift bricks. The Guardian reported the policy had been ditched then when it wasn't claimed it was due to pressure from 'noises off'.

Yet another reason why they don't want televised press conferences. Much harder to simply make shit up when everyone can see what was said.

If we are revoking citizenship for those people who dislike/hate this country the Telegraph would lose most of it's opinion writers and half the British right would be on a plane out of here.....

The idea we fire Frank strikes me as magical thinking
We have GOT to give someone a chance.
I wanted Ange kept on. We didn't do that. Ok. Didn't agree
If we sack Frank, we are saying our club is unmanageable. It's absurd

Christmas doesn’t end on 25 December. 🎄
In the Church of England, the Christmas season spans 12 days, taking us up to ‘Twelfth Night’. This period is called ‘Christmastide’. It is followed by the feast of the Epiphany on 6 January.

Imagine the PM hiding because he had to answer a question about possible foreign influence/money being channeled illegally into his property. You can’t. Because it’s not what a PM or a potential PM would ever do. Whichever Party.
That’s why Farage will never be PM.

This morning, I spoke with President Zelenskyy about ongoing efforts to secure a just and lasting peace.
As Ukrainians face another winter of Russian aggression, I reaffirmed Canada’s commitment to Ukraine, and the need to maintain pressure on Russia to negotiate.

I find it ridiculous but i am increasingly buying into the 'ad-free' surcharge on streaming channels because it's not that much and don't want my programmes interrupted with ads about my funeral, fgs!
A few quid a month?
I'll take that - all things considered

Well, I know a lot of people have been scathing about The War Between The Land And The Sea on the BBC, but I thought it was rather good with a real - are homo sapiens really that bad? kick towards the end

If the populist right want to make the King their next target I'd invite them to go for it . They'd only be one winner with the wider public and it won't be the right.
Sad and predictable but also interesting and revealing to see the angry reaction from the populist right to the King's Speech. They're reading it as a call for tolerance of diversity, approval for multi-faith, multi-cultural UK, and supportive of Ukraine. Which I think it was & intentionally so. 1/3
