Ooh! Tickets booked for Colchester in March, and while I was there i noticed Mark Steele, Michael Spicer in Oct & Nov, and Milton Jones in April. I have splurged and got tickets for the lot. Looking forward to all of it!!

Erm, I actually read Kane and Abel, and it most definitely is not "a modern retelling of the biblical story and the first murder." It's the story of 2 men from wildly different backgrounds and how their lives interwine. I don't recall any murders.

Was just thinking that he ought to be made to watch it.

Sloppy language leads to sloppy thinking, which leads to sloppy policies.

So where does he think Ireland is in those terms?

The thread is about care in the UK, but I expect you have similar issues.

What are the figures excluding pensions? These really need to be excluded. And benefits for the working vs benefits for the non working. So that ppl can see how much employers are being subsidised by the benefits system.

John Healey has hit out at Reform UK during his speech at Labour Party conference. The Chancellor claimed Nigel Farage wants people to think "he's a man of the people, but said that "when it comes to the economy, he's Liz Truss with a bitcoin account".

Tks. Though I disagree on your view of Marcus.

Friend of a friend said the same about immigration from India. No clue that most europeans are white, and most non europeans likely to migrate here are not. I wonder if Remainers should have explained this to the racists back in 2016 when they didnt understand the right reasons for voting Remain!!

Elsi is not saying that Tommy is from WW2, but was used in both wars. Which is correct, though particularly in WW1.

Husband checked and says rapeseed can be ok, if coldpressed. Heat is bad. Early rapeseed oil had some acid stuff in but mostly doesnt now. But a colleague has said she tries to avoid for her kid. But US likely to have lower food standards than europe just generally I from what I hear.

Flippin eck!! £28 a kilo (for comparison purposes!!) for Hunter gatherer and other no seed oils. Tracklement have sunflower seed mayo at £15 a kilo. Is sunflower better than rapeseed? Or is all seed oil bad? Next thing to google.

He'd have to accept his mates messed up big time though in presenting it to him.

Not just Apple, my Samsung doesn't either. You can get very cheap adapters though. My headphones live attached to my phone as I like audio books & podcasts and my husband doesn't want to hear them. I do go through a lot of headphones as a result of leaving them in though.

Being from the UK I'd not heard this before, so checked and it is well covered in the US press. Isn't this something that should be part of the Dems campaigning? An audit trail and destination of the money that left Venezuala? Otherwise isn't that what leaders of other countries get locked up for?

Well that solves the "What to buy my brother for Christmas" question!!

Just looked at our jar of Stokes mayo, expecting that to be sunflower, and it is 75% rapeseed, 5% ev olive oil. I will now have to google alternatives.

Why would anyone want to convince him?

How would he see it? None of bis cronies are lokely to tell him. And he wouldn't believe it anyway.

With difficulty I imagine. I am from the UK, where employers are used to providing paid holidays, sick pay and decent working conditions for their staff. My company sends out emails to managers about staff cooloff breaks in hot weather, and reminders on hydration. All part of Health & Safety.

£98k i think - someone posted a snip. Some claim full whack.

And the UK is prosecuting him. We have even charged someone armed with a knife protesting his arrest, and at least one(!) of the fellow thugs who blocked Dover port (hitting a policeman with a bottle) that put Tommo in the headlines.

Saw the longer clip. She says BoE is left leaning "so called independent". I think she blamed them for not supporting her budget, and she couldn't make them.

Ok, found the longer clip. After her initial "yes" to his query, Nick did then challenge, and she clarified she meant "in its current form". But v daft of her not to realise her words would be taken literally.

How much are they supposed to bring? You know how heavy it is, and how do you keep it chilled all day? This is not office staff with a/c and a fridge.

Would that be normal, to say protests are peaceful if the protesters are openly carrying weapons?

How, in this day and age, can hotel staff not know the law on assistance dogs? Don't hotels do staff training? Also taxis, but I suspect they know & just think they can get away with it.

It would in that there would be more money in the economy, so you would have an indirect benefit.

Just taxing it properly would suit me.

Sloppy language leads to sloppy thinking, which leads to sloppy understanding of what is happening.

But it's not what she said, even when given the opportunity to rephrase.

He repeated her words back in a "sorry, what?" tone of voice. And she did not take the opportunity to revise them. She did apparently clarify later.

Not a payment, an allowance she can claim against expenses related to being an ex PM. Full fact have the details.

OK, not an exact challenge, more of a repeating as though he can't believe she just said that though. That's how I took it anyway. A distinct opportunity for her to check what she said. But not exactly a challenge.

KathrynH @kt8online.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

He did, it's in the clip.

It’s because “legitimate concerns” are about *immigrants* rather than immigration. It’s why they don’t give a hoot about numbers on a graph while they can still see brown faces on the high street 😕

That is a very relevant point. Thanks, I may repeat it!
