David Hallett @hallett.social · 14/07/2026£10bn is £10,000 million which is £10,000,000,000 "Billion" is starting to sound like nothing. It's the new million. IMO the headline would have more impact if it read... "Johnson government wasted £10,000,000,000 bn on PPE, Covid inquiry finds" 100
David Hallett @hallett.social · 14/07/2026IMO just pay for it from the Treasury purse like Health and Defence, and detach it from households/individuals completely. BUT it also needs to revert back to "inform, educate, entertain". 100
Reposted by David HallettDr Sarah Hewitt @s2hewitt.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Paying for the BBC should be compulsory for all households, preferably through taxation. It's a state service which includes radio. Even people without a TV generally listen to the radio. 121

David Hallett @hallett.social · 09/07/2026I always felt the same about this... I vote for my local candidate, and expect them to represent me and have a voice in parliament. The party they represent see it as voting for their party. If they win, they push the party agenda. My vote is hijacked for the party, and my voice with it. 000

Red Nose Day, Children In Need, The London Marathon, Glastonbury, Wilmbledon, and many more. These are VERY BIG businesses and dedicating the BBC to promoting these commercial activities is wrong. 100

David Hallett @hallett.social · 08/07/2026Can't help but wonder why someone can resign only to stand again? Is there any context in which this makes sense, other than to stage a performance? If the resigning MP nullifies their own right to stand again this wouldn't happen at all. 000
David Hallett @hallett.social · 08/07/2026Fair, but does switching party legitimise the byelection? Indeed, should switching party actually trigger a byelection? Curious why the rules aren't shored up to protect the electorate and the public purse from performance politics. 100
