Survived Twitter but just…. 🇪🇺. Slightly grumpy northerner. Hated the last government and hoping for a brighter future. Still finding my feet here. Formerly northofwhat…….

I will not be getting on a plane without a human pilot. I can’t speak for others, but I suspect there might be some of the same mind.

Good. However, she wasn’t the only one. What about the rest?

Not sure whether this applies now, but there was an English lit and English lang A level. I’m assuming they don’t have to recite the works of Jane Austen……. The language A level was difficult and really not that relevant to most people.

They seem to not realise that the ECHR protects us all. It doesn’t matter about your skin colour, religion etc, beliefs.

I too have left. It feels a bit odd and I do miss some aspects, but the bits I liked did not outweigh the bits I didn’t.

No. One look at some of the comments on social media and it’s evident.

This is Reform UK treasurer Nick Candy, appointed by Nigel Farrage. Nick Candy boasted to a FT journalist in 2010 "I don't pay tax!" (From his home in Monaco) He and his brother developed property in London through an offshore company to avoid tax. Patriotic? Anti-Establishment? It's a con.

I’m amazed that these people don’t take advice from their agent/PR people. Say absolutely nothing, or issue a statement via your agent. Whatever you do, don’t shoot your mouth off. Especially if that is what has thrown you into the hole in the first place.

Money is at the root of this. They must be paying him well. However, the US and UK approach religion in vastly different ways, so not sure how this will land. I suspect he is eyeing an attempt to raise his profile in US (as well as improving his bank balance).

Completely agree. If palliative care is improved, then people will have a real choice. I’m in favour of the Bill, but appreciate that there are many who are not. I witnessed the long death of my mum. That experience shaped my stance.

Reading about a couple of his ideas. Reducing hormones in meat and harmful additives/colourants in foods etc seems a good idea. The rest is bat***.

Not really. Many people had connections who hadn’t migrated over here, due to invite system. It’s nice to see this space take off.

There is talk that the terms and conditions are changing of Xitter. Apparently Musk can use our data. Not sure what for. I think it’s possibly time to depart there.

It adds a piquancy to the dish, which is hard to define. A good dash of Worcestershire Sauce (Lee & Perrins) can elevate a dish.

Yes. I was on a speed awareness course and one person (a solicitor) kept saying they shouldn’t be there and the law was wrong. Course took twice as long due to them yakking on. I was speeding, I was caught. My fault. Should add I was on a motorway…. Not a village….

Yes, couldn’t get on earlier. I think it’s the mass exodus because of block button.

Found you. If the block button thing goes ahead, I will be mainly on here and protect my tweets on there. However, I will probably give other place a miss.

As soon as I get that vague kaleidoscope around the outside of the eye, I take two paracetamol. It does t always work, but sometimes it helps to ward off a bigger problem. Hope you are better soon.

It’s ridiculous. Just for a like on social media. Not only do they encourage other idiots to try it, but they put pressure on stretched services.

My only hope is that he has decided to sideline the destructive right wing of the party. I think they are too powerful. However, hopefully a more measured time is here, until the election. 🤞. Then let’s get them out.

A large part of the reason the UK is in the mess it finds itself is that there is far more media scrutiny of the plans in a speech by the leader of the opposition than there ever is for the plans enacted by the actual governing party over the past 13 years.

For some reason he seems to be above censure. He can do what he likes, when he likes and with whom he likes. 🤷🏻‍♀️.
