He's only wanting that so someone else can pay for roads, services, schools and whatever else he can offload. Quite a smart move for a 3 y/o. TX should order the 2 y/o's who'll grant it to have free eyesight tests and glasses and monitor their bank accounts for undeclared pocket money.

I agree. These polls show how twisted our media has become. They're just fielding the narrative that Labour = crap, Reform = golden goose. There really must be an inquiry into how Reform are getting as much news cover as they are. There has to be money involved or IOU's issued. It's not normal.

This time next year will be the point I start criticising if there is absolutely no sign of improvement. We've heard of some plans already on their way but obviously all things need time. The Tories had 14 years to destroy the UK so where are the media reporting that in the mainstream? Idiots.

I think I get it. They need total acceptance within a large margin because when we go in this time, it needs to be seen that we will never leave again. It needs to be clear what the EU does, how it applies laws, how it supports things and all the things politicians have failed to explain.

Our family were good friends of Derek Dalton, the Rotherham United mega fan. The iron lung he used was an amazing solution to a huge problem. I think people forget that Polio is still out there. It's not been irradicated like smallpox. Hopefully they'll not do something dumb and stop the vaccine.

I can't find anything that shows if this figure is an anomaly compared to youth suicide in general. We need to focus on mental health in general. I can understand the concerns, and there are valid ones but a blanket ban for all isn't the answer.

I just hope the military keep their promise to defend the constitution. This was reiterated before main campaigning kicked off after someone asked at a press conference. "Against all enemies, foreign and domestic" and "obey the orders of the President", what if the President is "the enemy"?

Give him time. I'm all for not letting him forget these things but considering the mess they've inherited he can't work miracles overnight. When we're 18 months into this first term there needs to be signs of good things happening. I'm not worried yet.

Nobody will get punished. They've not been punished for anything they've done so far. OFWAT is useless and has been allowed to be useless by the Tories. I wonder if something similar has been happening with energy companies? There needs to be a complete review of utilities.

Most of us have had an idea that they were doing something creative. If you look back at the way profits shot up and payouts increased, there was no way they were hitting investment targets. We've seen the results of their "investment" in the last few years. Prison time for some should follow.

It's a bit concerning. It needs talking about in the MSN on a regular basis. Just by doing that it would make it harder for some things to happen especially if it's done in a calm way. They'd want to sensationalise it though and wind people up.

Petition: Create a public consultation on freedom of speech and disinformation
We believe that lies, fraud, and media toxicity threaten our way of life. We think new mechanisms are needed to preserve confidence. How else can people know what to trust?
I know itβs a parliamentary petition, but apparently they get press coverage if they go viral π
And this one is very meta, itβs about the coordinated disinformation poisoning our politics!
Letβs get it to 100k at a rate thatβs hard to ignore?

We used to have spare drivers and buses that were ready to go in case anything broke. They saw it as dead money. Most of the drivers at my depot hated dropping a bus and it did hit the morale a bit.
