Any chance she might get rid of the dozy tapers eg 100k?

All true.

Reckon could add a ppt to UK GDP if we just stopped the sodding incessant ROADWORKS

Mr "Covid will blow over". How ge has a platform is astonishing.

Do you think the triple lock should continue, Bryn?

Today i couldn't get copilot to compare two trivial spreadsheets because one was formatted as .xlsm. It's so much work half the time that it's quicker to just do it yourself

If Labour extends the freezing of tax thresholds on income another two years, tgey are absolutely toast come the next election

cartoon for the guardian by Stephen Collins - script as follows: [Scene is a darkened LOFT. Amongst the boxes and junk are FOUR KNACKERED OLD FANS - three tower fans and one circular, with cracked grey plastic and buttons missing. One fan, TOWER FAN 1, is a bit taller than the others, and is addressing them] 1 TOWER FAN 1: Right lads, get ready. 2 TOWER FAN 1: This is our time. 3 TOWER FAN 1: The time when we remember who we are, and why we’re here. 4 TOWER FAN 1: We are the four crap fans in a British person’s loft, and we are here to make absolutely no difference whatsoever. 5 TOWER FAN 1: I know what you’re thinking, lads: 6 TOWER FAN 1: Surely this will be the year they finally replace us? 7 TOWER FAN 1: Our plastic’s gone all brown... I haven’t oscillated since 2018... 8 TOWER FAN 1: Dave here sounds like a spitfire and blows like a sad cat’s sigh… TOWER FAN 2: Cheers mate 9 TOWER FAN 1: But no. These people are British, and every year, they forget the sun exists. By the time they remember, new fans will cost *four million pounds* on Amazon. 10 TOWER FAN 1: So we’ll be back down there... shovelling thick air across the moaning faces of a species that cannot comprehend the concept of air conditioning, or even just closing the curtains when it’s hot out... 11 TOWER FAN 1: ...while they incessantly bang on about normally hot countries which this country is now temporarily a bit hotter than. 12 [The loft hatch opens and a person comes up the ladder] PERSON: APPARENTLY IT’S HOTTER THAN GREECE, LISA

Can we do more in UK to support working parents? Tax system really not helping.

Damn, i missed national Sandstorm by Darude day yesterday in Finland (lots of radio stations, stores and other institutions played the song at 9.15 to celebrate its 25th birthday)

Gas down, Cardiff down. Not bad #coyr

Great result, still in our hands COYR

How businesses are supposed to plan anything is beyond me.

1 [Nurse talking to camera] This is usually our busiest time of year at the centre 2 [Show a sign outside a medical institution reading:] Centre for Adults Who Still Can’t Get Their Heads Round Daylight Savings 3 NURSE: We have a spike in admissions when BST starts 4 CONFUSED PATIENT BEING LAID DOWN BY NURSES: Is it forward or back? NURSE: Lie down love 5 We often see the same patients ever year PATIENT: So it’s like… time travel? DOCTOR: No 6 Every year we try to explain BST to them in a fun and memorable way [The patients are sat around a fun show, with people dressed in bunny suits jumping around a giant clock] BUNNY: And now I *spring forward*... 7 [Bunny springs forward one hour on clock] 8 PATIENT WATCHING SHOW: I don’t get it 9 The hardest patients are the Summer Time refusers 10 PATIENT [sat strapped to a chair as a doctor talks to him through a screen, through a tannoy] PATIENT: But why is it better? DOCTOR [talking through microphone]: Because it complicates things. 11 PATIENT: How is that good? DOCTOR: It makes you more tired. 12 DOCTOR [to assistant]: Fetch the cattle prod

I hate the clocks changing because it makes me feel stupid

Yes, Severence 2 is reallg disappointing. Started well but has become very snoozy

Hi Howie, I like your content! I abandoned twitter, too nasty.

Two reasons why people might feel this way. 1) while prices currently less than wages, over last few years not the case and overall high level of prices doesn't feel caught up. 2) Effsctive tax rates higher (eg frozen allowances) so net not rising as fast as headline rate

It's been a long time since Private Eye's satire has made me audibly wince, but this is so to the point if it were a knife people would demand it be banned.

Lack of striker is telling.

It has its uses, but it is only a tool.

Good luck Torsten, rooting for you

Happy New Year y'all
