No good if you intend to vote in person after work and trains home are screwed up. Weekend voting would be much fairer to most workers.

Sorry, this puts my vote at risk. Voted Lib Dem most of my life but this policy stinks. Raise fuel duty, subsidise EV’s and public transport with the proceeds.

Apple & Google should be forced to make their devices only play via speaker after you click a ‘yes I want to be an annoying ***’ prompt. Or get them to recognise when on bus/train and prevent full stop (bluetooth beacon or list of known bus/train wifi networks)

For those of us who have anxiety when using the phone this is a MAJOR problem. If I sign up via a website then let me cancel via website. It is a barrier to cancellation and is costing me a small fortune.

I always reboot my Mac and close everything else before a Teams call, only fails 10% of time then.

1 is not the answer. I know local elections are coming up and lots of petrol heads may be voting but encouraging fossil fuel usage which is the cause of current mess is a vote loser with me. won’t stop shorthaes. When bus fares were capped at £2 I used the bus 3x the amount I do now.

Leicestershire (Leicester is Labour), thankfully my councillor is Lib Dem in Hinckley - some of the county is still sane. Reform leader in Leics is former Tory so can’t blame the previous administration.

Not all North American +1 numbers are the same. We charge 5ppm to US & Canada where I work but some premium and small Caribbean islands we just block as the wholesale cost is over £5 per minute.

I only use a wallet when voting or collecting adhd meds and need my provisional licence as ID (only have it for ID) My provisional license or official ID in Apple Wallet would make life easier. Physical Cards I struggle with and lose. But Gov plan is more complex, expensive and invasive.

Farage has now said very clearly he will remove judges he does not approve of and abolish UK citizens' human rights. No-one at the BBC, Sky or ITV - or inside the government - seems to think it is worth highlighting. This is exactly what sleepwalking towards autocracy looks like.

There were Trumps in the 1930s, 1940s, 1950s, and so on. But they were checked, balanced, blocked. And therein is the failure this time.

Farage is content with allowing people to be murdered and tortured. I'm not on that side and never will be.

Virginia Giuffre’s lawyer Sigrid McCawley reacts to the Maxwell transcripts, saying Maxwell “repeatedly and brazenly lied” to the government and is trying to “recreate history.” Full statement
I sat across the deposition table from Ghislaine Maxwell when she lied repeatedly – one question after the next.  We have witnessed that again with the release of Maxwell’s interview where this convicted felon repeatedly and brazenly lied on the record to the government.  Maxwell ruined countless young lives with impunity for too long.  Her effort to recreate history and distance herself from Epstein should not and will not be tolerated.  The documents don’t lie, the multiple witnesses that testified against her at trial didn’t lie – the only person lying is Maxwell.

At a guess, the Afghan refugees stuck in hotels waiting to have their acts of bravery for British soldiers honoured will have done immeasurably more for this country than the shits spray painting roundabouts with a can of wrong colour paint they probably stole from Halfords.

A regular reminder that global food production relies heavily on migrants. Without migrants a very large proportion of food around the world would simply not exist. The UK has found this out quite fast, and the USA is now starting to realise it. Immigrants make the country great.

because most of our media are Reform Party supporters. Reform are MAGA/Russian aligned wannabe facists who stay ‘just’ on the right side of our not strict enough electoral laws. Their few MPs often are very close to breaching hate laws.

Lots of flooding in Leicestershire river valleys over winter, Reform claimed to be able to fix it and they got the votes. Lots of ‘not racist but’ types of people in county. Us in Hinckley didn’t vote for them but are still are going to suffer their lack of experience.

I miss the cycling also (watched winter sports on Eurosport for decades as well) but not at £30 per month! Will catch what highlights I can find on Youtube instead.

Broadband market is very competitive with 100’s of ISPs on many networks, margins therefore are not as good as they used to be. ISPs who sell tv also are making up their profit on TV side of things where less competition. Sky also want to drop satellite for iptv so pricing people off satellite.

I just got a Sky News alert saying “Britain has 'lost control' of its borders.” I couldn’t believe it at first, but I checked and the country is now shaped like a Ninja Turtle eating a pizza.

This is not just a trans issue… A small number of ultra-wealthy Billionaires/Mega-Millionaires are using their immense wealth to target political legislation and legal cases for their own ideological/ political/ profit-making whims. They are a danger to democracy and human rights! 😖

I don’t know who needs to see this but… Autism is NOT a disease or mental health problem But, 70% of autistic ppl have a mental health condition Due to societal issues like: - being misunderstood - stigma & discrimination - lack of timely or appropriate support - bullying - loneliness - burnout

It’s not the tariffs. People in England don’t want to fly 8hours+ across the Atlantic Ocean (presume the US still calls it that?) to be disappeared for a couple of weeks at the border because we said something true about the Trump administration.
