Finally seen at 6am….8hr wait. All ok, which is the main thing. The inside of A&E was like something from a….well don’t know what really.

Go on then Nige. Tell us what you’re going to do that the last lot didn’t, IN DETAIL….otherwise stfu.

Interest piece on R4 this evening from ex-chair of Uk cartographic society. Basically Google are just providing the product they’re asked for to the US. Maps to Japanese audience shows Sea of Japan but to Korean audience shows Eastern Sea. That’s its due to the request of the orange clown..well..

I’ve been in meetings in the UK where just that sort of thing has been discussed. Choice between male and female applicants for a position. Senior management saying openly, “trouble with women is they go getting pregnant”. It still happens. That’s why we need to keep DEI legislation.

There's a lot of folks out there that would agree whole heartedly.. They don't realise it's the way to keep the working class down..all those state educated kids not getting into top uni's, if you're not in the old boys club you don't get the job...but yeah, keep believing its everyone else..

Don't think it's quite as bleak as it seems .... from the BBC article "The BBC understands the UK government has begun consultations with business over the benefits of the PEM plan that could help cut red tape and improve trade. No final decision has been made yet."

Oh and my cat, sadly no longer with us...

Bsky and Threads interaction is quite different it seems. On Threads, short post about my cat being very ill and lots of likes/comments. Over here, same post…one like. 5x the followers over here though..!?!

That’s not a mental image I needed today…..

Almost comparable to flat earthers….but they genuinely believe the earth is flat, whereas this lot believe it’s a good way to get money and influence.

At least it’s only 4 years….

That's my point, it would be even worse.

They don't have a mandate to do that, regardless of the benefits and would be pretty popular across the electorate. Can you image what the headlines across the right wing press would be...constant hounding would obliterate anything positive. 2 term plan....ground work now, get a mandate in term 2

Why would she even bother asking that question? Everyone in the chamber knows it’s wrong. Any muppet that does believe it, is unlikely to be watching anyway. Just just made an arse of herself. Ffs, grow up.

MPs haven’t really been able to justify second jobs for a long time. Even 15 years ago they were on £60k+ plus the usual benefits. Would banning second jobs bring a different class of MP? Would Rees-Mogg/Johnson/Farage have bothered becoming MPs if they could only earn £90k?

I really just don’t get while Clacton voted for him. That’s a failing on my part…but surely they recognise now that it always been just another grift for him. Surely he couldn’t get elected? Or am I just that naive?

Dorries would be an upgrade to MTG….

That’s the point…the whole point. Create chaos, keep everyone else off balance and distracted while he gets on with his own agenda.
