Also, memory is made from little ferrite doughnuts and it took decades to work out how to make them small enough to fit a trillion on a chip the size of a fingernail.

A shame Emily Thornberry was left out, though.

A few I hadn’t heard of before, most if not all seem to be very well qualified which is a welcome change.

When car manufacturers test a new model on the road but don’t want to reveal the styling, they cover the prototype in a bold pattern.

Soon after Blair’s government took office in 1997, Gordon Brown announced independence for Bank of England. Will Starmer’s government have a headline grabbing policy lined up for first week?

Urgh. Ghastly leader of a party only slightly less irrelevant than Reform Ltd.

If you watch the BBC then based on coverage Reform came third above the Lib Dem’s and who are the Greens. The unacceptable bias of the BBC as a public service broadcaster must be addressed as a priority along with media being owned by non tax paying non doms living abroad.

BBC News & current affairs have become more interested in entertainment than even coverage of actual news.

Spare a thought for poor little Rishi Rich who carelessly promised to serve full term as MP if he retained his seat. No California until 2029 unless he breaks his word. He wouldn’t so that though, would he?

Perhaps Truss would have done better if she’d been allowed to borrow more money to give to rich people.

I agree. I liked Corbyn’s policies, thought his presentation was terrible. Policies were allowed to be presented as far left, even by his allies. Someone suggested they be presented as ‘Scandinavian Policies’. His policies were actually popular with electorate.

I’ve been & voter for 49 years and I’ve never been this optimistic about an election. Not because of the government we’re getting, but because of the government we’re getting rid of. #GTTO

I struggle to find the enthusiasm for a Labour government but I can think of dozens of reasons to celebrate the tories demise.
