Lovely, I was in Barbados for 7 days, 31 degrees (bit too hot for me) and a swimming pool which I has exclusive use of because me and my sister were the only people staying in the 4 apartment complex. It's nice to be home though.

I didn't fancy it, not sure why as I love her stuff usually but didn't appeal.

A useful reminder that everything isn’t quite as doom and gloom as some politicians and parts of the media might have you believe.

So, around two thirds of the government’s Manifesto pledges have either already been achieved or are on the way to being achieved.

Stand to be corrected but I didn't think this Government ever announced charges for tribunals. The Guardian ran one of its many articles based on unnamed sources saying it was happening then another unnamed sources article saying it wasn't, can't be a u-turn if it was never officially announced.

Blair is not involved at all, you've fallen for fake news.

Exactly, this is the message we need to get across, Government struggles because they assume most people are capable of critical thinking, sadly they aren't, they need a Government for Dummies manual to get the message across.

My sister objects because she thinks it's a slippery slope, don't think she's clocked that it's digital, she has two Alexa's in her house listening to her every word!

As ever people don't bother to actually read the Government announcements, they do zero critical thinking but leap to an objection. My Boots Advantage card has more information about me and my lifestyle than this digital ID and it's on my phone in Google wallet.

You mean he'll be asked questions in the HoC, and presumably give the same answers given to these questions yesterday, isn't that just democracy in action?

A pretty comprehensive rebuttal of media accusations against Labour and Starmer.

Will it get as much coverage as the false accusations?

www.theguardian.com/politics/liv...

No 10 says claims it concealed evidence or withdrew witnesses to stop China spy trial are ‘categorically untrue’ – UK politics live

PM’s spokesperson says it is ‘entirely false’ government played role in getting CPS to drop China spying case

Really? It's just an app and for the many people who can't afford/don't have a driving licence or a passport it'll be a god send. What is your objection, preferably a sensible one.

Let's make sure everyone knows about the activities that senior Reform members have gotten up to.

These are not people we can trust to run out country.

Make sure people never forget!

This didn’t really hit BlueSky. But really when busy people leading the peace process have to tweet to stop the lies of the unpatriotic Brits this country should hang its head in shame.
