The manipulation of social media seems to have driven many people quite mad.

Loved this since I heard it in school in the 70’s. Sublime.

Well played, Merriam-Webster!
Well played.

There’s a current Mumsnet thread about Mayor Khan - the original poster was clearly trying to stir up hatred about him but the responses are heart warming about the differences that he has made. I hope that Mayor Khan can take time to read the thread.

The maintenance of it should also be outsourced to the lowest bidder.
It’s what she would have wanted.

Being accountable to an international court means our Government has to answer to them if it tries to undermine your human rights. Be very suspicious of any UK politician who wants to remove that check on their powers.

Share this and speak up for your freedoms.

We flounced out of the EU on the say-so of politicians who lied to us. And what a total shitshow that’s turned out to be. The polar opposite of what they promised. Now the call to flounce out of the ECHR. By the same people. Telling the same lies. Has the country been kicked in the head by a horse?

"We're going to create superintelligence" How about making outlook search work first. How about that

If the government wants economic growth it must bring essential industries into public ownership Successive governments clobber households and small businesses by hiking interest rates to manage inflation, but don’t inconvenience corporations.

England nationalized rail passenger services lease carriages from rolling stock companies (ROSCOs).

87% of rolling stock controlled by 3 Luxembourg companies.

Paid £1.282bn dividends in last 3 yrs. Not taxed in UK.

Privatization has hollowed out the UK - Taxes lost, it is all about exploitation.

Russell Jones's Week Moment: The Only Way is Norway The UK is now the second most miserable country in the world. It's time we learnt some lessons on building a happier society from our Nordic neighbours, says Russell Jones

@zackpolanski.bsky.social doubt you'll notice, or have time, but I liked your article in today's Guardian, and thought this idea might be of interest. Hope you (or your team) can see it. Contact me for a free version if you can't.

A chicken is a noble beast,
The cow is much forlorner;
Standing in the pouring rain,
With a leg at every corner.

If the government wants economic growth it must bring essential industries into public ownership Successive governments clobber households and small businesses by hiking interest rates to manage inflation, but don’t inconvenience corporations.

London Heathrow airport owned by private/state investors from Australia, China, France, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Spain.

Similar to steel, auto, ports, shipbuilding, care homes, hospitals, GP surgeries, veterinary services.

Dividends not taxed in the UK. Govts have fewer economic levers.

Having a digital ID will help those on low incomes | Letter Letter: Sandra Coleman says many people don’t have passports or driving licences, which can make it impossible to access online government services for pensions and benefits

This is true in my job. I deal with poorer UK citizens who require photo ID but cannot afford a passport or driving licence.
They can (with support) apply for a Voter Authority Certificate but that is only supposed to be for elections. #digitalID

A life magnificently lived.

This is very sad for all of the decent officers and staff. Perhaps it’s time for the Met to be disbanded - similar to the RUC - it’s never gonna change.

BBC appear to be disregarding it and are saying that only a few hundred were deported under Dublin prior to Brexit. I’m sure that I’ve seen different stats to that?

Some good news.

London is meeting legal limits for toxic NO2 pollution for the first time – almost 200 years earlier than predicted – following the Mayor’s "world leading air pollution policies," City Hall announces.

The Ultra Low Emissions Zone - and similar policies - really do work.
