Soon after installation battery drain was, & still is, an issue on both devices. Having to use Low Power Mode with ‘Reduced Motion’ on. This itself is causing bugs, especially in safari.

Numerous hard restarts later & battery life is better but at a cost.

Come on Apple get a stable release out.

On a Christmas communication my granddad wrote to my grandmother, a love note in many respects, when he was stationed in Cairo during WWII she subsequently wrote a recipe for mock almond icing on the back of it.

Broccoli and Brussels Sprouts are doing well.

Fortnightly feed of chicken manure and regularly watering… hopeful for some home grown winter veg.

Installed iOS 26.0.1 on a iPad 11 inch 4th Gen and an iPhone 11 Pro.

Those features enabled to run do so well on both devices, responsive and fluid.

Still getting use to menu changes and some apps need updating to display aspect correctly, moving from landscape to portrait.

@LBC James, a murderer conflated innocent British Jewish people with the actions of a state 2500 miles away.

It is therefore reasonable to assume the actions of protesters also comes to the same conflation.

And what infrastructure!? The UK once lead the world in telecommunication switch manufacturing, not any more. The UK sold the IP to foreign companies.

The UK will not produce anything, own anything, get anything.

Of that £150bn the Government will be preening themselves over 80% of that plus profit will be flowing back out to the US.

You wouldn’t have the head of Nvidia here if the company wasn’t going to be given exclusive rights to supply the chipset and AI modules.

Frank Mangione died July this year. A trumpeter and flugelhorn player he came to prominence in the 1960s playing in Art Blakey’s band.

But Frank Mangione will forever be associated with one of my favourite childhood films, R.I.P.

On this day in 1973, Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks released their only album as a duo, 'Buckingham Nicks.' It never saw a proper reissue despite their later Fleetwood Mac fame until this year.

Nigel Farage is an over entitled wine loving posh boy twat.

Anyone who thinks he is one of the people needs their head examined.

Angela, as the creator of the trust, will have been told by the lawyers writing the trust to transfer the property into that there is an age restriction and implications.

You can’t dumb it down any simpler than that… and if it could be dumbed down further then she needs to go back to school.

Again, when Angela set up the trust she would have been told in essence the trust does not take effect until her son turns 18 including all of the tax implications that holds.

It is not a difficult concept to grasp.

If she can’t she should not be in a position of making laws for the rest of us.

It doesn’t have to, just the knowledge that until her son turns 18 she is legal responsible. That isn’t a difficult concept to grasp in her position.

The question is, as the legal owner of the property, as she would have known as she was the one who set up the trust, why alarm bells didn’t ring.

No, it is incumbent on Angela to understand how the Trust would likely impact any other purchase.

Do you think HMRC would give you or me a break if we pleaded ignorance doing a self assessment tax return. It is our responsibility to understand the law.

As part of setting up a trust it is Angela’s responsibility to ensure that she is up to date with legislation and any changes.

This situation would have been raised when she went through the process, I know that as I have looked into it previously.

I’m not saying she did.

I am saying that the process of going through setting up a trust raises the predicament she is now in so I wonder how plausible it is that alarm bells didn’t ring.

Whilst I have sympathy for Angela Rayner I would add one point.

To put a property in trust is arduous, it requires the need for expert advice, a lawyer an accountant and dealing with HMRC. It is a long detailed process.

With that in mind how did Angela get it so wrong.

Maybe not so happy… looks like the vehicle has had an electrical module removed. A tow truck job.

Hopefully one happy owner of a stolen Porsche on route to pick up their pride and joy.

Parked up outside, criminals stick out like a sore thumb to me.

Police on site waiting for owner to arrive.

I’ve done my civic duty.

Those with high end cars… if all you have to rely on for security of your vehicle is the manufacturers immobiliser then you are asking for trouble.

For the sake of a few hundred pounds a get a bloody sequence immobiliser fitted.
