Then that's what needs to change. I thought we had got away from that.

It's a typical Tory principle, that those who are most successful get the most money. They did it with schools too. But it's unfortunate for the patients / students who live in the other areas, it's not like they have a choice.

Or cheese and pineapple, if they found any in the woods.

Needs to be challenged.

Blame the women, as always.

I thought we had protected characteristics in this country. That should be grounds enough.

Lyon’s? 1952 called and asked for its brand name back!

We can delete the word β€˜possibly’.

They should be able to access the better systems. The NHS trusts are not competing with each other.

We don’t have our own technology capabilities? If we ever did, we probably outsourced them years ago.

I’d be interested to know what other companies were under consideration and whether Palantir’s technology was so far ahead of the competition.

Section 28 is back, but this time, instead of reinforcing the closet door, this is much more proactively attacking the child's identity and experience of society

School is now worse for these kids than it was 'back in our day'

A Labour govt harms kids b/ it's afraid of Reform. Get out of the way

@goodlawproject.org should be on it.

This reminds me of the first episode of Derry Girls, where the English kid was the only boy in an all-girls school and had no toilet he could use. So ridiculous it had to be comedy. But now it’s not?

There is a consultation further down this thread which we can respond to. And we should.

Thank you! Will do.

This cannot stand. It’s a human rights violation. But somebody would have to take it to court.

There will be ice skating on the main road between Rush and Lusk.

Blackwell’s. Or here in Ireland, Kenny’s.

If he could take them for granted, the opinion polls wouldn’t look the way they do.

What does he mean? Have the buildings suddenly sprouted pagodas or pyramids or something?

Seems over dramatic.

I used it a couple of times and it told me lies.

Isn’t he already out? He never sat in the Lords, did he?

Of course! And maybe the mysterious Charlotte wotsername who was recommended by Boris Johnson.

12.02.2026 18:21 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Right. Then can we consider Lebedev?

Yes! Politicians need to lead public opinion, not follow it. Let’s have the Vision Thing. Let’s have β€˜I have a dream’, show us a better world.

I’d like to draft a syllabus for this course. Everything I’ve had to learn but was never taught…

So promote a professional diplomat, not a failed politician with a well known dodgy history. This is Washington DC, not Celebrity Love Island. Oh. Wait…

12.02.2026 13:39 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

What did I say about the diplomatic service not being a celebrity game show?
