- Comment on ‘We have to bring the benefits bill down’: Healey signals return to welfare reform 3 days ago:
Creating jobs and helping people onto them is the solution, but actually doing that is very difficult. It’s a complicated and multi-faceted issue that needs a real strategy to solve, and I haven’t seen much signalling that is really being worked on.
What we have seen too many times in the past though is a few ineffective token programs being put out as an excuse to gut welfare provisions, leaving people high and dry.
- Comment on Reform given record-breaking £72m by two crypto billionaires 2 weeks ago:
Sole of the Reform supporters I’ve come across see it as a sign of success. They see more donations to “their team” as positive regardless of where the money comes from or what strings are attached to it.

- Comment on Emergency Alert About Wildfires 1 month ago:
They only brought in a ban on disposal BBQs today after dithering about it for ages.
A reluctance to do anything practical but they are very trigger happy in abusing an emergency alert system.

- Comment on British public more likely to prefer Count Binface wins Clacton by-election than Nigel Farage 2 months ago:
The last election Clayton had a 58% turnout. So there might be some potential Binface supporters who didn’t vote last time.
I don’t think Clacton is likely to flip, but there is an outside chance.
- Comment on Virgin Media fined after hanging up on customers trying to cancel contracts 2 months ago:
For a bit of added context to compare against the £29 million fine, Virgin Media reported a profit last year of £3.9 billion.

I’m sure this will end well.
Although if it’s trained on transcripts of 111 calls it’s just going to send everyone to A&E anyway.

If there was intelligent life on Mars in past there would presumably be lasting signs that we could discover.
Who knows what signs we might find in ice cores from the Martian South Pole.

Quite a different result from what the polls were predicting.

Well that’s something I thought I would never see.
- Comment on Why this school will ditch a shirt, tie and blazer from its uniform 7 months ago:
I didnt realise how rich some of my friends were until I went to their house. The uniform made us all equals in the classroom
Uniforms have never done that in my experience, because there are plenty of wealth signifiers outside of uniforms kids will still notice (pencil cases, bags, PE trainers, mobile phones etc), and even the uniforms themselves are not worn equally. The rich kids have clean uniforms that get regular replaced each term, the poor ones had dirty and ill fitting hand-me-downs.
