He is probably right if everything goes as planned on his Etch-A-Sketch.

Back in the 90s I recall thinking an inexpensive tape drive for backup would be really useful - a use once but keep long term thing. Then DVD storage came out with 10x the capacity I'd imagined - now outdated.
It seems that any 'permanent' storage system is only good when you have a reader for it.

Remembr 2FA has no real effect on confidence/phising scams. Ideally never follow a link to login but if you do (e.g paying using paypal) then never authenticate with 2FA.
Only put in the 2FA code if you are 100% certain you are at the correct website.

That's all amazing but that's not my point. There will be negative effects and you need to invistigate those just as much, if not more so.
I don't trust any chart of just headline 'upsides', Brexit was full of those.

Sounds like the Brexit plan, even has the same level of detail.

So there's been no changes in Scotland for 300 years? I beg to differ. I feel you may be picking and choosing the negative things from the Union and totally ignoring anything else.

PR sounds great but have you seen our parliament? The government vote for something and every other party votes against it. Surely you recall the last cooalition?
PR in the UK would fall apart in a month or we get a dodgy back-hand referendum on human rights.

It's a shame she can't just say that Trump's tweets have no meaning - he makes them up on the bog in the morning and contradicts them with his MacDonalds in the evening.

90% of government is mundane governing - you only get to spend 10% on what policies you want.
Labour do understand this and it's why Greens or Reform can't win - the coutnry would grind to a halt if they tried to do half of what they claim.

Dick wants to pump it out of the North Sea so we have out own supply but then we know exactly what would happen - they'd sell it all off on the cheap for a quick buck and we'd have nothing to show for it except pollution.

FT comments section this morning - saying what everyone else is thinking, right?

I saw this picture again yesterday and it fit Tory PMQs perfectly.

Quite apt given some of Badenoch's questions in UK PMQs today.

That would be a game changer - a range that is double the distance you'd ever need without a break. That means you can druve somewhere and back on a single charge - any further and you'd have to stop anyway.

Yeah, it obviously hurt her that she sticks to the script despite the answers as she tries to accuse Starmer of the same thing.

Ah yes but if you think you own the world you can play with it how you like.

Is this bad? It seems bad.

Some people like Starmer, some people don't. Most people have no opinion either way of him but probably wish there were fewer stories in the newspapers.

Sounds very cheap so long as nothing happens. If all goes well, oil and gas flow and nobody has to pay out.

I think we will weather short term Iran but if it spreads we'll be a bit stuffed. Still, Labour have a £30bn leeway!

Makes me want to rejoin Twitter and rage at this post.
But no, I've grown up - 99% of people reading it will already agree with him and the other 1% are brighter than that.

Sounds like my Turkish neighbours' view of their 'home' country. Nice place to live but ruined by corruption.

I think it has the most chance of any of them but it all depends on very delicate steps.
I believe Iran was a very different place in the 70s and there should be enough people who remember it. It seems unlikely but there is that seed which could start change fast enough for it to take.

Farage did one of his interviews showing that he wilfully misunderstands.
He said that if the regime in Iran is broken and the country recovers then people who fled to other countries would return.
He knows why asylum seekers are here and what/who the cause is.

It doesn't matter what Starmer is doing, the press will say it's wrong. No matter what happens, it won't be perfect and any of the faults will be blamed on Starmer with "we told you so". Nobody will mention all the things he got right, just one or two that could have been better.

Every day I think Trump must have some idea of what he's doing and then he just reads out the average Twitter-bot take on world events.
Is this why invaded Iran - because of something he read on Twitter?

Decades of subsidies in the EU has made China invest heavily is solar panel production to the point where they have excess capacity and now what is very expensive to set up is almost a money printing monopoly for China.
Outsourcing may be easier but doesn't reap the huge rewards.

Even if voting isn't digital, voter registration should be. There's no reason these days that you should have to go to a specific polling station.

My water rates have just gone up 9.55%
So much for 2% inflation.
