Aw look, Amazon has a Scottish Widows cosplay outfit for Halloween. I mean looking at at my pension is fairly scary.

Governments not allowed to Govern, spend a single penny on national infrastructure or basically do anything other than tinker around the edges all because of misplaced concerns about inflation, financial markets and central banks. Everything must be pushed to breaking point.

It’ll never happen, like everything the lengthy debates in both houses for weeks and months, committee hearings, further debates, studies, public consultations and white papers. By the time all that is done you’re 5 years into a Parliament so it doesn’t happen. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/cj...

Can never understand the use of double deckers buses on a guideway, articulated buses provide more capacity and better accessibility. or just put a tram down. We have a weirdly daft obsession with double decker buses.

Everything is falling apart and no promises are being delivered but let’s have a 658 agenda of which half is Governance matters. They wonder why people get fucked off that nothing actually gets done.

Do not buy, mine has been back twice for repair and Philips sent it back to me this time damaged. This time it’s going back for a refund.

I hadn’t done my hair yet so put the claws away girls. Not enough room to swing a hamster in that room let alone to elder homosexuals.

The alarm bell keeps ringing louder and louder but those in power keep pressing the snooze button. The financial markets don’t want anyone to wake up.

If the £49bn runway option is taken forward then noone can ever say HS2 is expensive again. That's over £12bn per kilometre for those obsessed with per kilometre comparisons 👀 youtube.com/shorts/T_Fp6...

If it was any other party that headline would have top billing all day.

Some quiet AI back peddling by Microsoft? No despite what you might read but I don’t think Copilot name is going to stick around.

You know there are thousands of actual PlayStation 1’s on eBay for a £5?

Honestly, I think people are pretty pissed off with their own personal economic circumstances atm, this increase defence spending line being peddled is going to wear very thin, very quickly.

Absolutely no way is Charlie 3 doing the Vulcan salute with those sausage fingers. Tough call for the “Sinn Fein Star Trek Fan” group.

Now that the kids are going back to school can I just put out there my pet hate? Kids playing outside after school in their school uniform. Make them get changed, the uniform will last longer, it makes sense because children are scruffy little fuckers.

We need to get "UK bond prices are affected by things other than UK government policy" posters in a big font for the press rooms in Parliament.
