I watched that last night and my brain kept shouting "why do Americans accept this?" alternated with "Bless Aneurin Bevan for the NHS."

UK Local Government minister articulates his complete lack of understanding re the "4 day" working week. It's still 32 hours.
The BBC R5 interviewer also seems to not understand that a 4 day working week doesn't mean that everyone works the same 4 days.

So not just me that is entirely fed up of the media's obsession...

Keep walking him Blue Jays.

My thought too.

I was horrified to hear that O'Neill is 73. I lived in Leicester when he was manager and that could only have been a few months ago...

I'm hanging in there. In 2012 there was a sort of second chance closer to the time and we got tickets at a reasonable price but the stadium was only about 40% full. Paralympics tickets were so much cheaper so they sold.
I'm also cross as there's no obvious accessibility route to book.

Asked on R5 if the Reform MP was racist about adverts, a Tory squirmed and said they wouldn't have said it.
Why is it so difficult to condemn racism?

It just seems short sighted. These are a slimmed down Games that need to succeed. Why they didn't price like the Paralympics in 2012 to sell out and then a good case could be made for broadcast rights - "look we've sold out. There is demand."

Commonwealth Games tickets. Gymnastics qualifying. Prices start at £80 and seats will be assigned in 2026.
Are they having a laugh? There doesn't appear to be option to buy disabled seating other than wheelchair.
Disappointed.

It would be a great start for a natural wealth fund.

In Wales they managed to elect and swear in a member of the Senedd the same day.

Good stuff Bear.

Have you seen the news about Green defections to Your Party? They aren't fighting a full slate and are going to struggle to canvass those.

I'd quibble about placing Starmer's Labour on the Left but thoughtful analysis.

Here's the maths from 2011. It has been done. We can do it again in 2026.

Or you could sleep with a plant in your room. (Also not recommended by medical science)

Is it legal? In Scotland we have official flagpoles from which flags are flown on official occasions, no matter the colour of the council. Certainly nothing is allowed to be fixed to traffic 'furniture'.

"Zelensky's intolerance"? Who invaded who?

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿Seismic result. Labour loses in an area where they've dominated for a century. Reform sent packing.
Well done @plaidcymru.bsky.social Congratulations Lindsay. Best wishes on your election to the Senedd.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

These are the people who protest at the SNP preparing for independence but picking out sites for unwanted and unnecessary nuclear power plants is fine?

The UK invited him. The UK PM choose to meet him in Scotland.
It's the UK's expense and as usual Scotland pays.

I would like to start a campaign to bring back quiet carriages on trains. #Scotrail

🤞Really hoping that Plaid cut through.

Not mine. Spelled wrong.

As a teacher of the subject, it's something I've corrected many times. However, I have been known to trade under the title of 'Marshall Law' just to see if anyone notices. The one that bugs me is the incorrect spelling of marshal at sporting events. Thousands of hi vis jackets with my name on them.

I'm just surprised no one has hacked them.

Indeed. Consideration must be sufficient. It need not be adequate. If the parties are happy the consideration is valid.

Likewise.

Keep at it Zack. This is exactly the kind of toxicity that the SNP gets day in day out. Because it's doing good things for the people of Scotland. And the establishment can't countenance the possibility that someone might try to do the same in England.

They don't leave. They kick off but they stay.
