Frankly I prefer exploring the vast joys that await me by using discover channels on my music player, introducing me to real human musical creativity rather than derivative rip off job killing slop from AI. Sorry not sorry.

I’ve never tried doing this but could you collect some rainwater and try that? ‘Theoretically’ it should be ‘pure’?

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%. 

Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

Brexit is the most absurd hill for Labour to die on, and yet there's no doubt that they're dying, as recent poll numbers prove.

It is stark staring mad that their approach to Brexit continues to be "slightly improve the lifeboats on the Titanic".

It just won’t happen. Our government is captured by the money men.

And yet they’ll bend over and take it for Donald cos they’re all his ……

Hope to be surprised and see some backbone to defend the USA from this vile authoritarian takeover, but I don’t see a backbone, only self-enrichment and fear and survival, prostrating a once great country on the altar of crime

How likely is Rachel Reeves going to pull the plug on this against millions of consumers to protect the corporations on the hook for this if the court rules for it to go ahead?

Yeah but Reform voters can’t necessarily be relied upon for sound judgment in any sphere…

Regulators warn firms over car finance compensation claims Consumers caught up in the motor finance scandal could lose money by being misled through poor practices should redress scheme be introduced

Do not sign up for car finance redress with claims firms, warn regulators bit.ly/41l2kad if Supreme Court rules in favour of consumers on Friday @TheFCA will introduce a free redress scheme within six weeks. The claims firms are parasites that will take your money

Likely we have to remember that most people are not switched onto the politics hows and whys of us getting to the bad state we’re in, so they can’t pinpoint the turning point. Maybe it started with Thatcher but equally the banking crash is enormous ushering in the nasty Osborne cuts ideology.

Public ownership is the only way to save the water industry Public ownership is the only viable alternative but is opposed by the government

Govt's £100bn price for nationalising England water is bogus

£100bn calculated by OFWAT: Value at privatisation X annual rate of inflation + investment; repeated each year. The answer does not represent any value.

On this basis a car bought for £10k in 1989 would have £50k value.

Utter nonsense

No issues. Had the age verify day of the switch - chose face scan option as YOTI is anonymous - and that was that. Can’t pretend I look as young as my brain thinks it is!

Nasty. Divisive. Wrong politics. No good comes of this ( other than hopefully their political destruction )

Jonathan Reynolds, "Our biggest trading relationship is with the EU, but on an individual country basis it is the US"

So our trade with the EU is bigger than our trade with the US, which begs the question why Labour is keeping barriers to trade with the EU, which in turns keeps our economy poorer

Sure, pardon her. Nothing says how guilty you are in doing so… He is in so deep in this scandal. I hope it buries him after all the lies, hate and division he’s wrought.

We’ve had quite enough of right wing types telling us to cut our already shredded cloth even smaller. Go f yourselves! A poor and unhappy country isn’t a productive successful one. Shame on them dragging us down and wanting to drag us further. And shame on those who would vote for this madness.

They sure seem keen to nail the lid on the coffin of their likely one term in office. Where’s the hope? The decency? The realising this country is so so much more than a small bunch of fascists that will never ideologically vote for you anyway. Insane.

It is despicably irresponsible and frankly should get them some kind of legal action against their incitement to terrorism or something. It’s truly disgusting how the ‘right’ constantly try to divide us. Shame on them and a plague on their houses!

Extraordinary how much of the media is essentially trying to incite rioting now. Not just legitimise or normalise but actively encourage. It is, of course, unlikely to kick off anywhere near them.

Insane isn’t it. Almost every other search result links to a Wiki post. If this ends up with Wikipedia being blocked, the UK Government is complicit in information control and very much not to be trusted, and, won’t get a second term in power - something they’re already doing so much to become true

So sad, after all the Jewish people went through under Nazi rule, so, so many murdered, and never again we said. Sadly there are bad people in every nation. We have to turn this world around again, with positive answers, because the evil, the far right & authoritarians are winning the argument 🤦🏻‍♂️

Says a lot about powers behind the journalists, trying to engineer right wing politics to their ends. As it ever was. But I’ll take a strong Conservative Party over far right reform, despite wishing annihilation of the Tories at the last election, Labour aren’t winning again way they’re going
