I listen to quite a few podcast regularly. Might have to make room for another one. Gonna have to raise my listening speed from x1.25 to x1.5!

Spent today clearing out my old paperwork and files.

Finally chucked out my old chequebooks and stubs. End of an era.

Been watching The Greens on #bbcqt & seeing the positive reaction to Zack telling like it is by any chance? Some might say their policies don’t add up, but that hasn’t done Reform polling any harm.
Who’d have thought that telling the truth could be so refreshing?

Deafening applause as Zack Polanski tells Zia Yusuf that people's concern over immigration is because he spends all his time spreading misinformation and fear.

Former Head of Comms for the IEA, Annabel Denham, says the super rich will leave if we have a wealth tax.

Yes, the very same IEA that brought us Liz Truss’ disastrous mini budget. 🤦🏽‍♂️

Green Party leader Zack Polanski explains that their taxable assets can’t leave. #bbcqt

Audience member rips apart Zia Yusuf's obsession with immigration, all the problems are due to austerity.

He challenges Yusuf to speak about other issues.

Yusuf lasts less than 2 seconds, all he and Reform have is, "Immigrants bad!"

Exactly how some responded to polls in the US showing support for Trump; assumed the polls were wrong or too small a sample. Look how that worked out. Ignore support for Reform at your peril. Best to face it head on!

In an attempt to show Gary Neville how wrong he was to suggest that middle aged white men are putting flags up to make a point, some middle aged white men have put flags up outside his hotel to make a point.

Pritzker: "He wants to militarize major cities because he wants us to get used to the idea of troops on the streets. I believe he's gonna post people outside of polling places and if he needs to in order to control those elections, he'll assume control of the ballot boxes & count the votes himself"

Mike Johnson: "If you're a young, pregnant American citizen women who shows up in an ER and you get treated and they pay the hospital less for treating you than some illegal rabble rouser who came in from some South American country to do us harm, that is wrong."

Kemi Badenoch blames those crossing borders for our problems. It’s a lie aimed to distract.

The real issue is a system protecting the super-rich while nurses & carers can’t make ends meet. Tax wealth fairly, fund public services properly. This is how we give Britain hope again.

Kemi Badenoch’s speach is a doozy

“15 years ago, Polish workers came here to find opportunity. Now, Poland is growing twice as fast as we are!”

What happened in those 15 years, Kemi? Oh, yes, the Tory Party & Brexit!

Reuters photographer Jonathan Ernst noticed that Bondi flipped open a file during the Senate hearing and he zoomed in.

Inside were her crib notes for attacking the senators.

In other words, under oath Bondi was purely a performance.

Guys, who did your graphics? Crimes against mathematics.

You have the jump from 70k to 80k the same size as the jump from 80k to 85k.

Do better.

BlueSky hive mind - I’d always thought it was

‘Pretty please’

as in asking really, really nicely.

But, reading Kristin Hannah ‘Home Front’ turns out it’s actually

‘Pretty pleas’

as in a few pleas that are pretty!

Which is correct?

Here's an even older plastic bag that we found during a recent beach clean. According to the very helpful folk at the M&S Archive, this particular bag was in use in their food halls c.1973 – 1976. It even had the remains of a 50 year old tin inside, hence the discolouration.
