Well, they've certainly given it a hell of a good go with gamblegate (if that's what it's known as).

D Day has got to be Sunak's "bigoted woman" moment right? An absolutely extraordinary own goal of monumental proportions. That image of Cameron with three actual current world leaders is quite something. There's four more weeks but surely, surely it can't get worse than this?!

Labour were polling ...

Just seen this on Reddit, the government's view on why National Service would be a very bad idea from just three days ago.

I think part of the reason its been called now is because of the recent announcement that inflation has fallen to 2.3%, which was the higher end of where they wanted it to be anyway.

Was it though? It was still a lower drop than expected. Is it not more the fact that continuously extremely high ...

I had a "new" Big Mac the other day and found it to be slightly worse than it previously was. Not much worse, but a bit. I possibly wouldn't have noticed had I not specifically gone to try what they've been advertising so much.

I expect he was referring to the vastly superior user experience it offers.

And of course, there's no booking fees if you buy ...

The closure of ticket offices is causing a furore near me at the moment. Where I live, all ticket offices on my local trainline, with the exception of Liverpool Lime Street, and St Helens Central, are going to be closed, and stations are going to be staffed 2 hours a day, except on Sundays. While ...

Went to Berlin recently and used the Lime e-scooters to get around some of it. They were *fun* although I guess we’re not allowed them everywhere here because all the boomers will complain. Seen they do them in specific locations although I didn’t see any when I was in London a few weeks back ...

It feels like every schoolchild in London knows that it's pretty easy to break the lock on a Lime bike by just pushing it front wheel forward with a bit of force. I'm constantly hearing the "tick tick tick" of one going past my window all day every day now. Didn't notice this sound till a few ...
