@mrjamesob.bsky.social you asked what has changed in our society... Well the post below includes a screengrab from google ai search which gives a clue, and I have attached a screengrab from a consultant neuropathologist on twitter that addresses the same issue. This too: www.c19.life/brain

@mrjamesob.bsky.social You will have to learn more about the UK energy market and its implications for Scottish independence. The lady you just described as 'incredibly well informed' unfortunately isn't about Scottish energy. Here's an introduction for you www.these-islands.co.uk/publications...

A Crooked Power Play
The SNP’s energy bills pledge is fraudulent and undeliverable.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social ask your callers how Scotland will meet the EU 3% deficit rule to enable them to join. The figures in the chart are from the Scottish Govt. Ask what spending they would cut or what taxes they would increase. Feelings are one thing, practicalities are another.

Now I want to know the names of all the people that @channel4news.bsky.social bleeped out of their coverage of the Farage Scandal last night. They seem to be people who have given donations by illegal means even though they are not permitted donors under electoral law. @mrjamesob.bsky.social

@mrjamesob.bsky.social context re Richmond Park deer. "Royal Parks said the attack comes amid a surge in social media videos and pictures showing visitors feeding deer." (per BBC) Idiots visiting the Park are teaching deer that humans are a food source. No surprise a man picnicking was attacked.

@mrjamesob.bsky.social re the Red Arrows - it's the other way round. They fly whatever is the current 2-seat training aircraft used for advanced pilot training. Previously it was the Folland Gnat, now it is the BAe Hawk. They won't have a plane because the RAF won't have a 2-seater trainer.

4/ It would have huge well-being outcomes, which in themselves will improve society. We drink 2 L of water and breathe in 11,000 L of air every day. We wouldn't want our children to drink dirty water, so why would we let them breathe dirty air indoors?".

If a vacancy were to occur in Parliament, for example, if an MP resigns, then the convention is that the Chief Whip of the party whose MP held the seat will move the writ for a by-election *within 3 months* of the vacancy occurring. Just musing out loud…

@mrjamesob.bsky.social you asked what is Labour’s equivalent of the 1922… An MP has to deliver the names of 20% of the PLP who will nominate that MP to stand for Leader to the Labour Party General Secretary (currently Hollie Ridley) who will then report that fact to the NEC, and the contest begins.

Plenty had a suspicion the printers was taking the hit for Reform so they could dodge a massive fine. If it holds up the forensic evidence proves intent to commit fraud and evade electoral law. Oopsies someone may be going to jail.
