Did you know that a Farage Reform govt intends to scrap the NHS? The private health care system he wants to introduce would cost you £10,000s, like the US, where getting ill can bankrupt you. #ReformUK #Labour #GreenParty #Newcastle #SAFC� #NUFC

I had to do a double-take at a local village scarecrow festival, thinking Trump had come to visit. Then I realised this strawman was standing too upright, and was too slim to be the real thing...

I was at Release Layer System in London today, investigating the tech used on the new AGV Pista GP R3. This eliminates the rotation that can be so harmful in an oblique impact, and really could save many, many lives. It's already being used on some cycle helmets...

Frustrating that comments are turned off on this post from @london.gov.uk, as I wanted to add that Powered Two Wheeler thefts are also down (across the UK) since the high of 2022. Crime is of course still a major problem (as it always has and always will be)...

And so it begins... The right will surely jump on this for political gain (forgetting its own attrocities), and I do question why the BBC feels the statements of Reform come before those of our prime minister. Or why they get two bites.

Well, that Express headline was always going to raise a few eyebrows!😳 Starmer is responsible for embracing polygamy to appease Muslims, and so he's increasing their benefits?? That's the implication. After all, this "started in April", right? Wrong! 🧵1/25

DWP increases benefits for husbands with 2 or more wives - Started in April

Samuel L. Jackson sits outdoors wearing a light gray suit jacket and blue shirt, looking directly at the camera with a calm, serious expression. The background shows blurred greenery and park benches. White caption text across the image reads, “Life is like a box of motherfuckers,” parodying the famous Forrest Gump quote for comedic effect.
