Naturally 6M news asked Reform (what...5 MPs?) about the budget. Naturally Tice trashed it.
No idea what, the LDs (72 MPs) think.
I did see that the current Tory one didn't like it but literally no one cares what she thinks.

I felt like, worst case scenario, there would be a "cottage industry" for Human Made (like how vinyl is thriving) but I think there's probably a much better scenario now, the more people see the slop.
You’re going to see more and more of this, especially when the economic crash kicks in - despite the giant PR campaign and widespread use, there’s a growing understanding that generative AI has an air of shonkiness and poor quality about it.

The number one question for Reform voters needs to be "how do you hope to pay for more expensive and infinitely less available healthcare?" Because the NHS can't exist under these conditions. My guess is an older, less wealthy electorate also much more dependent on free healthcare.

How is Shabana Mahmood wanting to introduce a ‘Danish style’ system for refugees the top story this morning?!?

What I find pretty awful is you can sense that his first thought is something like "I will look weak next to this other old person who has a medical emergency, so I had better stand up straight and ignore it."
Which is pretty despicable.

That and the fact that there is a huge disparity of so much between international cities and smaller towns/countryside.
“London and New York, two of the west’s largest, richest, and most diverse cities are now run by Muslim men, both of them elected on the ticket of left wing, pro-LGBT, pro-multicultural parties…The victory is a reminder of the fundamental weakness of Trumpism, Faragism, and the politics of hate.”

A Reform UK councillor has defected to the Conservatives saying he became “uncomfortable” in Nigel Farage’s party.

I know nothing about Dr Who, but, for Londoners, the phrase "Going For Dinner With Billie Piper" is the absolute best way to remember the order of the vertical streets running east to west in Soho (Greek, Frith, Dean, Wardour, Berwick, Poland) and has saved many a late night out
