Neoliberals want to cut social security, silent on subsidies to banks. Since 2006, Bank of England has paid interest on central bank reserve deposits to commercial banks. The EU & the Swiss stopped similar practice in 2023. UK still paying, £100bn in last 3 yrs. There are better uses of £100bn.

There are 315 'Data Centres' queued up to be added to the UK grid. They will use 73GW of electricity. The current average use for the ENTIRE UK is 24GW. They will use 3x more electricity than everyone in the UK combined. And YOU will be paying their heavily subsidised bills.

Worst we’ve known’: UK turns to imports as drought and heat hit vegetable crops. Food insecurity and higher prices would follow. Poor hit the hardest. Despite warnings, no plan for water shortages. Need reservoirs, water storage, better water management. Companies can't do national planning.

Huh. I recall nt long ago a newly elected MP questioned the boozing in parliament & triggered a spectacular multi-week meltdown by the nation's most sensible Sensibles chin stroking & pontificating abt why the corridors of Westminster overflowing with booze ws nt only good bt virtually a natural law
“Participants described alcohol as being available throughout the working day, frequently provided for free, and often intertwined with career advancement.”

Twenty-four MPs, 58 Westminster staff and 108 constituency office personnel shared their experiences and views. One MP, describing how readily available alcohol was at Westminster, said: “Going to a meeting at noon and alcohol’s available. Of course, I’m not used to that in my old job.”

The free alcohol at events on the parliamentary estate, which organisations arrange to help them lobby MPs, emerged as a particular issue.

Another MP said: “Where else in a work environment would you go, unless it was the works Christmas do, and there was free alcohol there for you? It just wouldn’t happen in real life.”

A third said: “You can start drinking here from 12 o’clock onwards and go around and consume large amounts of alcohol, and it’s relatively freely available.”

My entire life I’ve never called it the FIFA World Cup. I’ve always called it the World Cup. Fans don’t give a shit about FIFA. If national teams showed up for a World Cup tournament not held by FIFA we would all watch it. World Cup is the brand. FIFA is nothing.

Memories of a happier time when puppy Maia liked to wade on the beach before her best pal did his ACL in. Lycan loved the water. Maia preferred chasing him on the beach. She was the boss even though she was the puppy. One day when the heartache has eased I'll find another malamute to boss me around.

Went to see the Odyssey tho' I wasn't sure about it (not for the racist reasons). I thoroughly enjoyed it. There's some amazing performances throughout, the legend of the Odyssey was by & large followed well. There's a couple of nitpicky things that I noticed but not enough to care about, Recommend

Bees are disappearing, and our food supply is beginning to collapse. Plants and animals are vanishing, and life is becoming a desert plain. But if humans were to disappear, nature would slowly heal. Rivers would flow more cleanly, forests would grow again, and wildlife would reclaim the Earth.

Jess Phillips is asked why, as the minister for violence against women & girls, she voted against an amendment to exclude sexual offenders from early release. "Because there is a prisons crisis" Got to free the rapists to make room for people who oppose genocide, I guess.

I don't understand why it's not confirmed whether or not Mitch McConell is alive or dead. Does he have constituents? Don't they have the right to know whether they are still being at least officially represented? Is a dead person still being paid a salary? Why is it in anyone's interest to hide it
