Love working with Oracle APEX. Dislike the office and the world of corporate office culture. Former geologist now concerned about climate change, the state of politics and the lack of connection between the two. Knit/frog as therapy.
🚨 WATCH: Labour MP Charlotte Nichols reveals she was raped as an MP as she opposes the jury trial reforms
"I waited 1,088 days to go to court. We've been told [by the Government] that if we have concerns about this Bill, it's because we've not been raped"
Mind game:
Wondering what would happen if Starmer retorted: 'Oh, the war's already won? Excellent news. In that case I assume you will no longer need to use UK bases for US attacks, so I've suspended our approval. Glad to have been of assistance.'
It doesn’t matter whether the rate of global warming is increasing. It’ll never cease to amaze me that people don’t care that it’s happening at all. It should be the most alarming thing ever.
“For all we know, we could be in the middle of Keir Starmer’s finest hour”.
Starmer’s critics say he is imperiling the UK’s special relationship with the US...
But is it Donald Trump who's doing the damage?
And zero foresight
In any serious society Nigel Farage would've been arrested for inciting racial hatred years ago. But no, we have wEStErN dEmOCrAcY.
Keir Starmer has written to all Labour MPs attacking the Green Party for embracing "divisive" and "sectarian" politics
I'm picking up concern among Labour MPs about how this letter will come across to people who have voted/are tempted to vote Green, as it could risk further alienating these voters
Farage is claiming there was "cheating" in the election but is also saying he's not going to appeal the result.... Which would be an insane thing to admit if he actually believed there was voter fraud, right? It's almost as if he knows there wasn't and Reform lost fair and square.
Student loans are very unfair so an “adjustment” will be necessary to invest in the 25 - 35 group
Backbenchers should note the falling 30 year gilts and the cost of borrowing falling
Maybe they should stop winging and attacking and get out there and inform the public of Labour success #r4today
Nick Robinson: I'll ask you a question and at the same time I tell you what the answer should be. If you don't state my required answer I'll interrupt to ask you again, and again. Thereby getting my message across 3 times while you still haven't been given time to answer. Try listening Nick.
There are always more AI questions.

All this tactical voting malarkey in Gorton and Denton means only one thing : we need PR
Can all we agree that, regardless of political allegiance, an electoral system in which Labour, the Tories, Reform, the LibDems, the Greens, Restore Britain and Your Party are all scrabbling for votes is one in which FPTP will deliver absurdly unrepresentative results?
PR now!
Our federal government killed a disabled genocide survivor and is covering up for a child rapist. And that is just today’s news. It is just unconscionable to be treating this as normal or acceptable in any way.

England is a cup of tea.
France, a wheel of ripened brie.
Greece, a short, squat olive tree.

Most people in England & Wales are not Christian, and it’s axiomatic to a free society that religious beliefs - or the lack of them - are irrelevant to civic participation. Britain is a pluralist, not a Christian, society; and this is one more reason to fight Reform UK.
Farage adrift in the ocean? Long may it last.
Remember when they told Lineker to stick to football?
Okay, this is quite outstanding from Bedford Council.
Reform’s by-election candidate Matt Goodwin received a salary of up to €10,000 a month from a far-right pressure group based in Hungary 👀

Our Labour government has announced more help for disabled people.
First, £723m funding is made available for the Disabled Facilities Grant next (financial) year to help older & disabled people adapt their homes so they can live safely and independently.
Second, an above inflation increase...

The leaders of both Reform UK Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire led councils have said Nigel Farage’s call to scrap working from home is not going to happen.
It’s a huge slap down of another unworkable Farage nonsense policy by his own council leaders.
News, #R4Today?
No shit Sherlock. About time
I'm sorry I love this clip. What the hell is he talking about
Our public services aren’t for a secretive profit-hungry US tech firm. Sign the petition to tell the Government to scrap all contracts with secretive US tech firm Palantir. you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/st...
Smell of aftershave eh, so it could have been Martha then? #theArchers
Apart from the difference in art (the kids stuff radiates joy a life and the ai stuff is just dead on arrival) the kids experience something while doing it. That experience is communicated in the art too. Art isn’t just the end result.
