Should billionaires and corporations be banned from buying political parties in the UK?

Like if yes.
RP if it's HELL YES.

Word of the day is β€˜forswunk’ (13th century): exhausted by work.

I like to add β€˜foreswunk’, exhausted before you even begin.

Word of the morning is β€˜williwaw’ (19th century): a sudden violent squall or a toppling gust of wind.

Goes well with β€˜thunderplump’: a sudden downpour that soaks you to the skin in seconds.

As extreme weather batters the UK and the hottest year we’ve lived through (yet!) stories begin to run

It’s increasingly baffling that our news is filled with daily business and stock market updates, but rarely about the impact of that wealth extraction on people and those profits on our planet

Gary Neville on commentary:

β€œThey have been so good defensively Liverpool, they haven't put a foot wrong. At this moment in time, they are looking like a real authority in this Premier League title race.”

Just taking a moment to think about how normal it is now for women to have a job that is talking, writing, or presenting on football.

It was inconceivable not that long ago. There is much progress still to make, but I'm proud of all of them πŸ’ͺ⚽️

Hi @hunterw.bsky.social love your labels. I follow some great UK based journalists but they have not been labelled. Can we recommend names?

Or you could just blindly accept CCHQs contextless "Men In Black" memory wipe where they pretend they didn't just suffer their worst election result in modern history, didn't bankrupt the country and didn't oversee the biggest collapse in living standards since the 1940s.

EITHER OR.

You wanted starter packs to be searchable. Our engineers are busy keeping us online, so in the meantime, an independent developer built a new searchable library of starter packs. This is the beauty of building in the open πŸ¦‹

Is he OK? Because that makes absolutely no sense whatsoever or am I being dumb in not being able to follow his argument? In honesty, it reads like that guy you avoid in the pub who is always nipping off to the loo and when he comes back he is wiping his nose.

The great scone/scone debate is now going on on #gbbo For the record it’s scone. I hope that clears it up.

Netflix - please stop minimising the end credits of movies to suggest something else. Let viewers enjoy the soundtrack and see the cast and crew that worked on the film. We'll exit it ourselves when ready to.

UK jobcentres not fit for purpose, says Liz Kendall ahead of major reforms The work and pensions secretary is to overhaul benefits system, pushing young people into work or education

We could all be injured, made redundant, or leave work for reasons beyond our control.

Help to get back on your feet must be first class and help you back into the best job possible.

That matters for individuals and for productivity & sustainable growth.

Dijon-style trams could finally rid UK cities of the traffic jam Louise Haigh, the transport secretary, is looking to France for inspiration as she heads to Leeds to unveil her strategy to get Britain moving

Aside from being unable to fight the urge to quote β€œit’s a bed of nails”, this is good. Integrated urban transport please
