What... I mean... where does this extremely obvious bias come from? The extremity of it seems 'fairly' recent? That suggests someone or a group of specific people with power pulling levers harder. Is there anything coming from insiders? (Or ex-insiders?) Answer my questions immediately, Anil!

Unconscious fear? And, unfortunately, stupidity - the kind of defensive stupidity that belongs to those who feel entitled (for whatever reason).

Oh please do come over to London, where it is humid and raining but not quite warm enough to break it with lightning. And I left my washing on the line. But: no Tory govt, so: swings and roundabouts.

Don't forget, even Starmer sorted Corbyn's leadership bid. He fucked it up himself. I like Corbyn as a local MP, I think he's great, but he sucoed as a leader so the right wing of the party conspired to get rid of him, just as his fans had conspired against the right. That's politics for you.

Being realistic for a second, Corbyn's big problem in the party was not that he was left wing, it was that he was a *terrible* team leader. He wasn't a team leader at all. Plus, nasty hits who were also left wing terrorised MP's in the party who were not left wing. I was at those meetings.

That is my name. Listen, I no longer work in the career I had. I made a choice. I now work as a carer. Do not tell me anything about choices and how difficult they are.

There are appalling papers in the UK. You get folk attempting to justify working for them and personally, well here's my take: There are other jobs. Leave. You have to make your choices and own them.

I love these plants. I first saw them in the cracks between steps up to old house front doors. Gorgeous little clumps of early summer. Now they're like the purple weed, but still lovely with it.

There's something wrong with the modelling of the game, in that you don't have to guess the last one. There should be some kind of multiple choice for each set, in case it's the last one!

Ahhhhh. The curse of it being American. Had 3 of the things, obviously, but had to get some help for the 4th in 'that set'. I am a cheating whorebag!

McDonald’s is ditching its drive-through AI ordering system after too many customers wound up with totally incorrect orders like a handful of butter, hundreds of chicken nuggets, and ice cream loaded with bacon

Well the country has become 300% more green (don't quote me on the maths, my head hurts) so that's probably to be expected!

I got the first 2 before I went back to bed with painkillers this morning, so haven't attempted the last 2.i shall re-investigate. It seemed incomprehensible earlier.

(That s why we could interbreed). It always, amazes me when people say humans like Neanderthals 'died out'. No they didn't, they were fucked (or more likely raped) out. As we're all the others. They are in us, and we are them.

Neanderthals were humans. The differences in human species are in the semantics: Genus = homo Homo humanus - has been mooted as a broad term covering all human species Homo Neandethalis, Homo Erectus, etc - all different historical, er, hominids, after Erectus are 'Homo' so part of the same family.

It disgusted me that in the 2 way debates, Starmer did not support immigration by pointing at Sunak's own parents/grandparents. It was an easy win, and a positive signal, that he did not take.

Absolutely right. Unfortunately, the right to be able to drive in to other human beings at speed seems to be important to too many people. For me, it's the parking. Parked cars reduce roads to single lane corridors, then drivers complain about cyclists. Words fail me!

I think what has actually happened is: classic white rock bands are boring as old shite, compared to the positive and/or angry energy coming from musicians who were previously ignored or marginalised by the music press. And fucking Coldplay headlined, so I don't know what he's complaining about!

I disagree. The Roses were making a unique sound which was at tes rather lovely. Their second album was 'alright'. Oasis were always basically a pub rock band,, and they ushered in an era of unremarkable, tedious pub rock bands like themselves.

I saw them when they did 'pay to play' on a Sunday night at The Boardwalk in Manc (I was behind the bar). They were unremarkable then, and remained so. I always liked Supersonic, but that was an aberration.

I agree entirely tbh. My answer came from my having observed the swaggering wanker over many years. I don't actually care what other folk think, my opinion is he's a classic ego driven tosser who doesn't give a toss about anybody save himself. In other guises he is Johnson, Farage, Mogg, even. Bleg.

I want to know the demographic breakdown. I get the feeling most kids* in the 'my own kids' generation voted Green (they're 18 & 20), so it might not only be the Palestinian genocide that lost them vote (and seats) but the climate crisis. *those that didn't, probably didn't vote at all (wild guess).

He's a prick who is fuelled only by his ego. Jeremy Corbyn is a great local MP, who always has been. The locals love him.

I am horrified that I'm going to miss everything but I seem to have a 6imch screw being driven in to the front right of my skull and so I've got Nick Robinson et al burbling quietly on the radio, the eyemask is going on and hopefully unconsciousness will be be arriving shortly. Happy times by 4am!

I'm just trying to work out what the hell parliament will be like with up to *13* of those Reform fucks in the HOC, alongside the Tories. Including that bottom feeder Farage. I mean, what will it do to the Tories?
