One of the main benefits of no longer being on Twitter is that you can go surprisingly lengthy periods, completely forgetting that 'pricks' like Dominic Cummings exist.

Never understood the attraction of faux alcoholic drinks.
It's like reverse vaping.
People vape because they don't want to smoke, but they're addicted to nicotine, whereas drinking non-alcoholic drinks is akin to smoking nicotine free fags, even though you're not an addict.

Thoughts and prayers with GB News, The Telegraph, The Mail, The Spectator, Nigel Farage, and Paul Marshall, etc, at this difficult time.

Why is the richest person in history so keen to pit the rest of us against each other?
Oh yes, it's to stop people questioning the current setup, which allows him to accumulate enormous wealth.

They need life bans and to scrub doper's performances from the record books.
Also, keep a proportion of appearance fees and prize money in abeyance until after the athlete has retired, and if they fail a test, they never see the money.
The rewards for doping far outweigh the punishment at present.

We were promised flying cars and jetpacks but have just ended up with crap advert algorithms that stalk you around the internet.

The polls show the combined Reform/Tory support in Scotland running at similar levels to just the Reform number on its own in the UK as a whole.
Maybe not exceptional, but still a significant outlier.

The slide into authoritarianism would be so much more tolerable if they displayed one iota of wit or humour.

Personally, I always insist on flying any flight I happen to be on myself.
Trusting the so-called expert pilots is a fast track to totalitarianism.
I spend a few minutes on Google, while on the toilet, doing my own research on how to fly that particular jumbo jet, and I'm good to go.

Rip off Britain.
Venture capitalists and private equity firms have been busily cornering the market in vet practices in recent years, and now it's time to earn their monopoly profits
People love their pets, so are willing to pay the eye watering fees they are now being charged.

Like Labour, the Tories will eventually learn that you can't out Farage Farage because aping his policies just allows him to adopt even more extreme positions and the people attracted to those sorts of policies stick with him, while moderate Tories/Labour voters drift away to the other parties.

You seem to have read far too much into my post and have come away with the wrong end of the stick.
My point was you can't blame a BBC error on government communications.

Sweet Bird of Truth @sweetbirdoftruth.bsky.social · Oct 4

How could they announce who'd been awarded the contract at the same time they announced their plan to introduce an ID scheme?
This government's communications have left a lot to be desired, but you can't blame them because some internet loons started a conspiracy, and the BBC chose to amplify it.

Good luck with still being Tory leader at the next election, Kemi, never mind winning it.
