Of all the retail banking apps I've used in the UK, #hsbc has by far the worst, clunkiest interface. Sort of hilarious that that's the bank to replace a bunch of financial advisors with #AI. Then again, most FAs from retail banks are pretty useless.

#meta hooked young kids? Big surprise. Where's the enquiry into Meta hooking moms and pops and grannies on racial hatred?

It’s all over. World Cup over , Wimbledon over. Nothing to distract you but the terrifying reality of your own thoughts now. Never mind, it’ll be autumn soon where everything dies.

So... What do we think Infantino will order against #England? Penalty, red card, both? We'll find out next week! #bbcfootball #fifaworldcup

The absolute worst thing about the #fifaworldcup is the endless number of twitter and Facebook engagement accounts from the US making bonkers comments on "soccer" as if they know anything about the sport.

So, there is a precedent for vetoing an MP's resignation Viscount Chelsea (Henry Cadogan) applied for the Chiltern Hundreds in 1842 The Chancellor (Goulburn) refused because, get this, Cadogan wanted to resign to obstruct an investigation for bribery h/t @fascinatorfun.bsky.social and @gazhay.com
Screenshot from the linked article, with the following text highlighted

"The noble Lord had stated, that it was unusual to refuse the Chiltern Hundreds, except on account of mental incapacity, or where proceedings were pending for the expulsion of the applicants from their seats. In this case, however, the House had decided that compromises had been entered into, which had the effect of obstructing the investigation of bribery; "

Can't sit back.... goals are coming. And second half at high altitude will be harder, no doubt.

This match has gone from one sided, to boring, to a goal against the run of play, to disallowed goal, to a penalty scored by the man himself. Kinda happy that I stayed up. #bbcfootball #fifaworldcup

For over 15 years, the O2 has been my tube stop. Seen all sorts of fans exiting the O2. Tennis fans, comedy fans, Taylor Swift fans, U2 fans... I saw the largest group of mindless dumbfucks today. Apparently there was some #WWE wrestling stage thing. Half of them didn't even appear drunk!

Starmer has been the most honourable and decent politician in the UK for many years. I don't see how these machinations to remove him two years after a landslide reflect well on Streeting, Burnham, or any of the conspirators. If Labour is being genuine, this is a massive victory for Farage and Elon.

So daughter got a #macbook air 13". Having seen the airs of old, I have no idea why this thing exists. It's not envelope thin anymore... It's very similar to a 14" pro with a worse screen.

So today's the day I switch to my new #UK #passport .. It's so blue, it's black. And while my previous one had amazing UK things on every page, the new one is just four landscapes repeated. At least it's better than my daughters which had geometric shapes and nothing else!

It'd be absolutely hilarious and complete the #Labour circus if #Reform or the #greens were to win the seat vacated by Josh Simons. Probably the first and last time I'll ever root for a Reform idiot.

Ah bless... Streeting just committed career suicide, right? #Labour #UK

How did we get from Thatcher, Blair, Brown, even Cameron to Truss and a scenario where Streeting is considered a potential candidate to be PM of the #UK?

ashic @ashic.bsky.social · 12/05/2026
It's quite clear that Russia isn't just backing #Reform but has also been sowing the notion that #Starmer is incompetent, terrible, sunk, etc. The goal is to clearly have a Lizz Truss like figure on the #Labour side to ensure the party's destruction. The useful idiots are playing into that plan.

I'm in awe of #ProjectHailMary... I knew it'd be good, but it's one of the best movies ever IMHO. Outstanding. Superlative. Once in a while, there has to be a story that ends with everything going right. Somehow.

Let me get this straight: 1. #tfl offers drivers an optional 4 day work week with the same total hours (fairly standard for a 4 day work week). 2. #RMT strikes because they want a 4 day work week doing the same hours each day as in a 5 day work week. That's not how a 4 day work week works!

#Hungary is probably the beginning of the end of the fascist round in the West. #Trump will fall too. Maybe even #Putin. Le Pen never happened. #Netanyahu will eventually go. #Farage will likely be chasing something after it's over.
