There is nothing worst than being still jet lagged, waking up at 3 am while sunrise not being until 8.25 am.

I am not done for the northern hemisphere.

I wonder now what’s the point of paying for Amazon Prime when you get your items delivered after 3 days anyway.

I was surprised to find out that in France I cannot find moving boxes 📦 53x53x42 cm which of standard size in UK.
In France 60x40x40 cm is more common instead.

Why such differences? Do British people pack more squared items whereas French more rectangular ones?

What does it mean closer links with the EU if then the UK red-lines won’t be dropped?

It’s again asking for a unicorn 🦄 and looking only about trade and not about people benefits! You cannot have one w/o the other.

This year I didn’t travel as much as usual, so now I am back to silver frequent flyer status.

No more lounge access which was the real perk.

Given these defections, the Reform Party should rename itself the Reconservative Party. Or Retories for short.

The photo she is using is the one used for her driving licence renewal, so how it cannot be complaint? Broken Britain 🇬🇧
My sister is applying for the UK ETA: she is facing the same problems with the photo I add - too big, too small, too close, not too close, shoulders, no smile - I think the system is done to discourage people applying for it. 😇

'We have historically high welfare spending.' No we don't.

'We have a historically high proportion of working-age people not actually working.' No we don't.

'The number of Britons emigrating is skyrocketing.' No it isn't.

You’re asking for politicians to be honest rather than dancing cynically to the tunes of the far right and the MSM… not happening.

How has the Guardian covered this issue over the last 10 years? Honestly reported the impact on GDP? correctly identified root causes etc?

This morning, albeit it was 6 C outside, I finally did a small DIY project: putting the insulation film on my windows. I don’t know if my apartment will be warmer now, but if I could save a few hundred euros on my gas bill it will be worth it and cheaper than the long due double glazing windows.!

Whether it is migrants, disabled individuals, trans and non-binary individuals, you cannot deny that Labour is basing their policies on the frothing at the mouth right wing trolls which populate X and elsewhere. They definitely aren't basing them on reality. 3/

Here's the thing, it is the same attitude this government has with regards to marginalised and vulnerable groups in general". The rhetoric and policies follow the right wing trolls because they are aligned with the right wing trolls. They see it as a way to gain votes, and wow is that failing. 2/
