So the post office boss that was only put in place in 2022 and was recently sacked has some sort of story in The Times today, it's paywalled so I haven't read past the first paragraph but his claims are... (1) He was asked to stall on the compensation payments to help the Tories and... (2) When she sacked him, Kemi Badenoch supposedly said "Well someone has to carry the can"

I had it with ascot the other day but it turned out to be some sort of necktie, it was all I had and after about 30 mins I just chucked it in

I don't see how it can be cheating but I don't see the point either. The game wont let you put a non-word in so if your guess wasn't a word, it wouldn't count as a guess anyway

Wordle 974 3/6* Close to a 2

its a classic Tories losing 6-8% of their vote to Reform territory. UKIP always had quite a reasonable showing but never enough to trouble the Tories, this time it may well do, especially in the new expanded seat

and in addition to that, It has a chunk of Telford being chucked into it. If it was previously The Wrekin, it'll still be The Wrekin as the constituency remains, just with added bits and no lost areas

Side note: I just assumed I would be in Liverpool Riverside at the next election but the boundary changes have changed that, I’m now going to be in Liverpool Wavertree, so my MP will change from one nutty Union stooge (Kim Johnson) to another, Paula Barker. I'd advise people to check which constituency they will actually be in if they intend to vote tactically, you may have your tactics completely wrong. In my case I live in pin a red rosette on a donkey territory so all that changes is the donkey but it may make a big difference for others. It also makes me wonder if the big MRP polling companies have switched the boundaries in their polling yet.

I can see Scouse girls going mad for them when they eventually hit TKMaxx

Triple captained him this week obviously

No, they’re the Greens. Some of their policy document, in fact most of it, reminded me of the set of insane policies you’d see enacted in student unions in the 80s. Well meaning but batshit crazy Just a couple of examples… (and I’ve read nowhere near all of it.) Mothers will be allowed time off EVERY hour fully paid to attend to their children. Now ignoring the blatant sexism (as there are plenty of kids with a male as the primary care giver) I just wonder how that will work for say a female train driver or bus driver (and plenty of other jobs) Workers should have a written contract within three months of starting work for a company and that contract will state how much time the company has to give before they can change the contract. What??? That’s miles WORSE than current employment law They just don’t seem anchored in reality I also now live in one of the safest Labour seats in the country in an area where the Labour Party are mired in corruption

So today's common sense... PA Media via Yahoo Yes, we have a government of morons

Agreed but I'm faced with a party I hate and will never vote for (Tories), a party I distrust but do not cross my red lines (LibDems - EU/PR) and a party I've voted for most of the time but do cross my two policy red lines (Labour) It’s a tough choice. Also I'm particularly wary of the size of majority Labour will get which I think is also very dangerous. Its really a three turd choice

Not sure I believe this. The reason Labour didn’t immediately suspend the Rochdale candidate was at the behest of Jewish Groups, the reasoning being that they didn’t want George Galloway being given a platform in parliament Thats the spin that appears to put about this weekend. Not sure why they are bothering at this late stage either, the story is gone.

Throw enough turgid noodling shit against the wall and some of it will stick. Deadheads are just plain odd, how many live albums can you possibly want? The Dead will always be a mystery to me tbh

Nope, he has 30 days to deposit the money regardless of any appeal (same in the Jean E Carrol case) if he doesn’t he'll accrue interest and be at risk of property siezures. Those two cases fines are estimated to be about 20% of his net total worth. He may be worth $2bil or so but an awful lot of that is tied up in property. Sure, he'll appeal but he won’t be able to access that money in the meantime and if he can’t raise it the bailiffs go in

Had to Mooney, saw the hair and knew why I’d never heard of them

It shits all over his chances of being re-elected

Hate to be the one but if it wasn't Corbyn, it would have been either Yvette Cooper or Andy Burnham (Most likely Cooper)

You absolutely will have heard it

Here's something I haven't seen mentioned anywhere today. Kingswood will not be a constituency at the next election. 45% of it will be in the new North East Somerset and Hanham constituency Does the North East Somerset seat seem a familiar name? It should do, Its Jacob Rees-Moggs seat, yes his seat is getting substantially more urban when it becomes North East Somerset and Hanham DId no journalist see fit to ask him about this when he was talking shite this morning?

Neil Young primer. Then take it from there (Double CD / Triple Album). You should be able to find a used CD for sale in UK for under a tenner inc postage on Discogs

Because it was Pull McCarthorse's

I'm just not really a fan of the live album concept, it's very rare I'll buy one

Probably would have died sooner if he'd stayed away
