It’s British politics’ midlife crisis again. Hurt your own base. Get negged by Reform voters. And repeat.

The Labour Party know this, have a stonking majority and PR has been voted for by congress. If the next election is held on FPTP the result is all on them.

Congratulations, Andrew Wakefield! You did it, you fraudulent quack!

It’s far right.

That’ll teach them to use mechanical buses. Back to the good old horse-drawn sort, I say!

WHAT DO YOU MEAN I'M NOT A BEAR I HAVE ALL THE KOALIFICATIONS

Happy Australia Day! We retain sovereignty but appreciate Australia for their support and defense against illegal fishing etc. Have a beer on us today!

Met office forecast for Oxford for the coming days.

A poor forecast app. The Met Office, who are the only people running a high resolution forecast for the UK do not show this weather.

This was true when they were introduced. In 2018 the NAO caught up and made the government account in the national debt for future write-offs (www.ons.gov.uk/economy/gove...). We consequently have the perfect shitstorm that crushes graduates, underfunds universities, and costs the government now.

The ECB digital Euro is supposed to do this, right?

Drink Crankshaft by Bent Spoke Brewery. Best bloody beer ever. Taproom in Canberra is an awesome pub, but the beer is outstanding wherever you buy it.

The article is very critical of the home office yet concludes “It is a diffuse, externalised system fit for a hyperconnected yet unequal world.” Did the author mean “unfit”?

Telling isn't it that all the "protect our girls" people are still on X despite what Grok is doing.

Watch your step, London. It’s icy out there. The council should do more gritting. #Dadthoughts

They’re required to publish annual accounts which you can usually just pull off their website.

Forecast accuracy also drops off quite quickly as you look into the future. The Met Office don’t even show daily forecasts more than a week out, because they basically aren’t reliable.

If your app is showing daily forecasts beyond that, the provider is more interested in show than substance.

Met Office Forecast for Lambeth for the end of next week. Shows very little precipitation forecast.

Not at all what the Met Office is showing. Different forecasts really are of different quality. Only the Met Office runs a high resolution model over the UK. The Met Office app really is more reliable.

Nice to see the Met Office supporting cycling, whatever the weather.

Try being Canberran!

As far as I can tell, the Conservative party's position is that there should be no censorship of content on platforms like twitter but that the same content can be grounds for deportation/denaturalisation

Me too. Particularly the vet who surprised a cow, which included the memorable line “that end of the animal incapable of facial expression”.

Happy Hogswatch to all who celebrate. Ho! Ho! Ho!

Kensington and Chelsea: the only good cyclist is a dead cyclist😡

Coventry is stunning inside. The use of stained glass and light is an act of genius. Also the quotations of medieval cathedral architecture are clever. They even have modern misericords.
