This is a thing in the UK where moving a single penny into a higher tax bracket (Β£100k) will completely remove qualification for 30hrs per week free childcare for pre-school children and tax free childcare for all children up to Β£2000 per year per child.

Spring forward 30 mins is what I say. Then it’s a nice compromise between the two. India is like this.

Atari 400 β€˜touchpad’ keyboard. Touchpad is in quotes on this description. Arrow keys are two above, two below. Top two are up/down, bottom two are left/right. You need to press down hard on the control key and press down hard on the arrow key to move the cursor.

At least those keys register and make signals…

No one will know what was said, but he’s dealing with a man who just started a major war because he didn’t like how the negotiations were going.

These polls are based on people’s likelihood of voting, and young people are more likely to stay at home than vote. Reform only have major support from the over 50s

They didn’t nearly win - it was a trouncing. But the headline suggests it was close and influenced by a few foreign born voters.

It’s notable that the Green Party aren’t beating Labour on green issues but on social issues

Rejected. But it was Corbyn that was rejected, not his domestic policies. Polanski is a completely different kind of leader.

I can’t imagine him standing up in Parliament asking the government to let the Russians help in the Novichok investigations.
