It is a shame that Blue Labour are driving anti-intellectual policy.

Morgan McSweeney. A strategy based entirely on appealing to knuckle draggers.

Cameron...um, no.

Yes but £10 is not much for those who aren't eligible.

This is what Badenoch's party cancelled. 10 sites, many of which would now be operating, and no energy crisis.

Good luck. My impression is that prescription beyond the defined categories is deprecated.

You can get it for £80 if you look around. Still expensive when you can get the flu vaccination for £10.

The eligibility has changed this year:

- adults aged 75 years and over
- residents in a care home for older adults
- individuals aged 6 months and over who are immunosuppressed, as defined in tables 3 and 4 of the COVID-19 chapter of the Green Book

More bollocks from Badenoch. Labour's plans for a fleet of new reactors was cancelled when Cameron and Clegg came to power. Cameron later commissioned China and France to build a couple of enormously expensive nuclear power plants in the UK - key strategic assets, foreign built and managed.

She is trying to make herself out to be a hacker, when she is not. Like entering a house through an open window rather than bypassing a security system and picking the locks. Both equally illegal but one is skilled and one is not.

She didn't "hack" her account. She did enter it illegally by guessing her password.

I think somebody else wrote that for her, trying to whitewash her 'there is no such thing as society' statement.

This is more bullshit from Badenoch pretending to be a leet hax0r. She logged into Harman's website by guessing the password.

One of my ex-pals got into Royal Holloway to study computer science in the same era as Badenoch. He's as thick as a brick and required much private tuition to scrape in with similar grades. He never learnt to program, has no interest in IT and got a 1st. Now a rentier who has never had a proper job.

Every few months I blow the dust off my laser printer and it prints without fail.

Where I live, it would be a two hour round trip to go to a shop to print a colour document, but I would still rather do that than have an inkjet printer in my house.

Russ Holmes @rholmes.bsky.social · 1d

Inkjets are a waste of space. I have a flatbed scanner and black and white laser. Never fails.

So she arrived in the UK from Nigeria age 16 (1996) and lived with a friend of her mother. Mediocre 'A' levels from 6th form college but got into University of Sussex - I guess in 1998, so would have had no tuition fees and probably a maintenance grant. Talk about taking the piss.
