I would count something being sat at customs for 3 months and counting as broken, and this isn't the first time.

ordering things from the US. pre-paid customs charges so should be no issue there. package arrives in the UK within 48 hours of ordering but then just sits in a customs warehouse forever and a day. our systems really are broken, not like this is a one off.

I mean if her concern was a nice payday and a stable long term career in politics she would have just shut up and be blindly re-elected in the next 10 or so election in Cov South!

This is something that could be interesting. There were murmurs from within the party that some felt Starmer should have taken a firmer line on those rebelling on the welfare bill, including removing the whip. There's potential that becomes a riskier option in the future. May be a small...

Certain sections of the press certainly seem to have had a call on the bat phone. It will always amaze me how panicked some people get about the left given the left has repeatedly shown itself to be unable to unite as a collective.

Seems to be enough to have some people rattled.

That's a hell of a conclusion to draw about a party that was announced less than 12 hours ago. Also implies that other politicians aren't self serving. Good luck with that :ROFLMAO:

Would be interesting if Polanski wins and does make some sort of agreement with this new party. Seen reports that attribute a surge in green party membership to his leadership bid. Wonder how worried Labour are about the unions. It seems Unite are very much behind this new party, at least the...

That's the thing, you get scare stories saying the DWP spend 279bn but 124bn of that is pensions! We spend another 32bn on adult social care, which sits outside the DWP payments, and over 50% of that is on pensioners. The only other 2 areas of DWP payments that are large enough to have any...

1.8m people get attendance allowance, 1.4m get carers allowance, PIP is 3.5m. Its interesting to look at the changes, number of pension claims increasing, pension credit increasing dramatically, huge increases in bereavement support payments (basically the old widows pension), PIP increasing as...

Suspect they won't get far, for a number of reasons. Firstly there's very few people in politics who aren't self serving so I doubt many others will make the jump, although Zack Polanski has already extending the olive branch so if he wins the Greens leadership election that could be...

We could be very thin on the ground going into the second week. Incredibly tough game coming up for Raducanu, Norrie's is a good match up he should probably win but could go either way. Only really Kartal you'd expect to win.

If its as easy as that why not just pop along and get one?

From what I've seen of chatGPT, grok etc I am not looking to have them perform medical procedures on me anytime soon!

Could not agree more with this. Visiting Scandinavian countries, or increasing other countries we would have in recent history deemed 'below' us such as in Eastern Europe, is like visiting a different planet. We're getting left behind and the gap is rapidly getting bigger. At the same time...

Was expecting the documentary on Channel 4 tonight to be a tough watch but fucking hell. Could never have imagined anything as horrific as this, struggling to get through it tbh but turning off feels like an insult to those who have gone through this horrific suffering. Some images that are...

She was on fire today, and a great win for Norrie as well. Not so much Boulter, never got going at all.

Given what they cover there can't really be anything can there. Sounds like an easy answer to avoid public sight of the minutes leading to questions they have no answer for.

There's other figures in here if you want to have a dig https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/annual-savings-statistics-2024/commentary-for-annual-savings-statistics-september-2024

The mega-bucks people have got accountants to shove their money in places like the Caymans, changing ISA rules will have a negligible impact on them. Bet a fair chunk of the money in ISA comes from people inheriting.
