a ban on landlords re-advertising properties to rent for a period of 6 months (government might bump back to 12 months) if they had been taken off the market to be sold

Whenever I make a bad decision, I sit down in front of the mirror, and tell myself β€œat least you didn't evict people from a property you were renting to them, then increase the rent on that property to make more money, whilst also trying to outlaw this behaviour as Homelessness Minister” x

nice to see reeves jump on the obvious landmine by defending her

"she did everything in accordance with the law"...a law being changed because it leads to homelessness

at what level do you think it's helpful to learn? do you think it's something all maths students should study, and if so, as a dedicated course or sprinkled throughout a more rounded education

If you're going to send me something written by an LLM then save us all time and resources and just send me your prompt instead. I'll value a text that says "Heartfelt condolence message with reference to a list of events" more, because this way I at least actually know what you were thinking

i think this is what capacitor/ionic offers but i know nothing about mobile. iirc they tend to do really badly in survey results too, so take with a pinch of salt

If your app contains multiple scroll containers, consider adding `overscroll-behavior: none` to your html/body to prevent "page bounce"

Create a larger, invisible hit area around the element, making it easier to click without layout shift!

How? Use a pseudo element with `position: absolute` + `inset: -{value}px`
