justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Not really! Are their shareholders maybe awash with cash they just don’t know what to do with? 😁 (Lucky them!) But why would the airlines be different, and why is all this happening now? All very odd. 100
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Is it more likely the ferries have decided to bring in this change off their own bat or that Border Force have decided to leave the airports alone and focus on the ferries? None of this seems to make sense! 100
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Possible, I guess, that the rules changed some time ago (a month? five years?), the ferries didn’t fully implement the required changes and the Home Office have only now realised? Otherwise it’s hard to square the two statements? 110
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Do we know why the Border Force want this? 300
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 29/09/2026If it isn’t Brexit do you know why this has come in? 120
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 15/09/2026Why would they risk splitting the party? They might do it if the Greens start banging on about promising to apply if they win/hold the balance of power, but otherwise…? 000
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Which wedding was this? The most recent one? 000
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Thanks for clarifying. That was my understanding and yet there seems to be an awful lot of it about at present! 010
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Is 24 hours of the media and others grouping together the state of Israel (sanctioned yesterday) with British Jews (not sanctioned yesterday) likely to make any British citizens safer going forward? 1140
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I hope you derive much more pleasure from the rest of the day than I fear either of us have got from this interaction. Enjoy! 100
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Should teachers also get the political blame for what’s happened in Scotland and Wales? 100
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 08/09/2026Who do you think deserves political credit for this? 110
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Thanks. Is this the sort of thing you were thinking of or did you have something else in mind? bsky.app/profile/er20... 101
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Surely you can’t give us cuppy-busters and then snatch it away? 0150
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 07/09/2026The Electoral Commission aren’t busy- why not get them to sort it out? 000
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 07/09/2026Is there anything in particular that makes you think Ireland will be ready to use its veto, eg public opinion or statements from politicians on Schengen, examples elsewhere from previous accessions? 100
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Doesn’t the nanny state understand the concept of morale? At least give the guy some sudokus as compensation. 000
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 03/09/2026Is it true at the tenth minute all the players will try to get an opponent sent-off for covering their mouths? 010
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 25/08/2026Is Lockhart in the same book where the hero spends most of his time in the girls’ toilets? 010
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 25/08/2026How? Did the government which took office 5 days into Q3 manage to turn the economy around in 85 days? Did the previous govt suddenly achieve it after 10 years of stagnation, only to be booted out less than a week into their miracle? 000
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 13/08/2026Doesn’t this growth justify Labour keeping us out of the Customs Union, Single Market and EU? 000
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 04/08/2026Isn’t this in conflict with the IHRA’s anti-semitism definition? 000
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 14/07/2026Why bother with the second half at all? What about just having a big sing-song? 1411
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 07/07/2026Do you have a view of the consequences of this deal? 000
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 02/07/2026Won’t we have more drugs? ie NICE will increase the threshold £/Life Year (or similar) below which they are willing to approve stuff. The new stuff will presumably be less cost-effective than what’s getting funded currently but it will still have some effect? 000
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 02/07/2026Yes, that seems likely otherwise we’d have decided to do it already ourselves. 020
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 02/07/2026That £45bn is getting us £45bn of drugs- what’s the impact of the drugs? It’s presumably stuff at the marginal of clinical effectiveness (because we aren’t prioritising it now), but it must have some impact? 220
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 02/07/2026We are getting some drugs out of this and avoiding some tariffs as well, so is it worth it overall? Would be nice for the govt to give us some numbers! 210
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 01/07/2026Thank you. It is curious that eg Ed Miliband would apparently not be protected here (or Zelenskyy!) but Netanyahu and Ben Gvir would. 010
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 30/06/2026Are you familiar with the IHRA definition? (I’m not taking a position on its relationship to your post- I’m just asking.) 100
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 29/06/2026And haven’t those earning around the personal allowance gone from paying no income tax at all, to 20% of their annual pay increase? 000
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Wimbledon title transferred to the runner-up? 000
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 19/06/2026Have you seen the meme “don't cling to a mistake just because you spent a lot of time making it”? #eurocrisis Are there just maybe some good things about the Euro in your experience? 100
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 18/06/2026Maybe we should just wait until we’re strong enough to rejoin, as per Tony Blair? 000
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 13/06/2026And I’d heard that when he goes to Rupert Murdoch’s garden parties, he only does it to put arsenic in the vol-au-vents: please can you confirm? 000
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 12/06/2026What’s Starmer doing about the media? 031
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 09/06/2026All the people who want the trains nationalised but also foreigners and trans people to be persecuted, don’t *they* deserve some representation? 000
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 09/06/2026Are they going to do anything about the press? 100
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 08/06/2026Can we deduce anything from this about the success (or otherwise) of the Online Safety Act? 000
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Is this mainly due to the benefit cuts voted through last year and the income tax thresholds not being increased for inflation? 000
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Thanks. Though that’s just secondary and we aren’t sure what’s happened with primary? Is that correct? 000
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Thanks. So the 6,500 is just secondary and for 2024/25 there was an increase of about 0.6%? What’s happened in primary? 110
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Does that mean there are more teachers this year than there were last year? 110
justaskingqs.bsky.social @justaskingqs.bsky.social · 05/06/2026Is the 500,000 about right, ie the 6,500 would be an increase over five years of about 1.3%, or about 0.3% per year? 100
