A fairer voting system can't wait until after the next general election. We need electoral reform now.

WE NEED FAIR VOTING BEFORE THE NEXT ELECTION

ELLIE CHOWNS
MP FOR NORTH HEREFORDSHIRE

"The PM cannot acknowledge the unfairness of a system capable of handing power to a government with a minority of the vote share, and then say the answer is to let that happen exactly once more before he fixes it.

Burnham must act with urgency to immediately jumpstart the National Commission, guarantee timely progress, and ensure its recommendations are delivered in time for a fairer voting system to be in place at the next general election."

Yes, #Gymkhana may be a snooty restaurant but if I was designing a range of India inspired ready meals for Waitrose, I’d probably avoid a word that, in Britain, conjures up images of ponies…..

A shelf in Waitrose, filled with ready meals and a display for those ready meals for a range called “Gymkhana”.

Wrong turn (1/3)

Page 1 of comic. A village of alien denizens on a planet with a massive black hole in place of a sun. Narrative text reads: We were a peaceful folk. Every day, we’d rise and sing to our sun. Until one day…

Page 2. Narrative reads: “It sang back.” A neon blue green comet flies out from the black hole, impossibly. The aliens stare up at the sky.

Here's a glimpse of what Reform would bring in, eh. Labour have already done MUCH Worse. Labour have segregated trans people. They have removed healthcare from trans kids. They have actively covered up the deaths of trans kids. We are living in the world you are worried about thanks to Labour.

Both being on sale, I upgraded my Football Manager 24 to FM26 (50% off 💃) and Civilisation 5 to Civ 6. (90% off). Both games look like shit and require hours of learning just to do the usual basics, both have added layers of shiny graphics that add nothing and hide everything I want to do. Why ?

I've read this post three times and not one of these sentences makes any sense at all #England #WorldCup #BBCSport #PaulRobinson

Post on the BBC Sport website:

Text reads

'Ghana need to utilise Semenyo'
England v Ghana (21:00 BST)

Paul Robinson
Former England goalkeeper on BBC Radio 5 Live

Antoine Semenyo is in the team that haven't scored more than one goal in any goal since October and he will be England's main threat for England. We know the quality he has got. He is a really quality player and is an offensive weapon that they has got and they need to utilise him.

This advert for a Home care agency in Southend caught my eye - the woman in the bottom left picture has three arms and probably can get herself up 😂 - seriously though, helping someone up” like this would almost certainly cause a face plant. Reposted as I mangled the original

An advert for a home company, it shows a woman being helped up from a chair dangerously but, probably more pertinently, she *has three arms*
