    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    There's a really weird thing is this country where a large percentage of the population seem to hate the idea that things improve for anyone else.

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    This is pretty meaningless as it's not observational data and there's no data for alternative environments. At the end of the day pretty much every study that has been conducted has shown an increase in productivity when WFH. That's before you even consider other benefits. Reminds me of a job...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    smart moves. was listening to the radio earlier and they were talking about how Labour like to make a big statement early in the first day or two but that didn't really tie with how Starmer operated in the campaign. Appointments like this will get attention without being anything so out there it...

    Anyone watching Question Time? Reform’s Ben Habib having a bit of a disaster. Just shouting made up rubbish and getting laughed at.

    Which are the two seats that haven't declared? Have they lost the ballot papers or something?

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Its perfectly possible to understand how vote share works but also to be interested in the underlying numbers. Plenty of people suggesting this is a 'bigger' win than Blair yet Labour are nearly 4m votes down on that election despite winning roughly the same number of seats. The numbers do...

    Just looking at the list of Conservative MPs and they're not exactly overflowing with options for the next leader. Do they go down the Braverman / Badenoch batshit crazy route, IMO an absolute gift to Labour; an old hand with the danger they're linked in voters minds to the shitshow we've just...

    IMO that's more that the system is in place but its not being operated correctly. Which comes back in large part to austerity. We have a huge backlog and the longer people are here without their case being heard the more chance of them working illegally or just disappearing. Not sure its an...

    You can get section 4 funding if you've been refused asylum but you have to be destitute to qualify and one of the conditions is that you are taking all reasonable steps to exit the country asap.

    Trump is my favourite comedian of the year already

    How much longer can this go on? When he first got in given his age I thought they may replace him part way through the term or at least in the run up to an election but he's gone downhill rapidly and they've just ploughed ahead. Truly bizarre, they must be able to see how much damage this is...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    My last job was working from home and it was pretty shocking to me how many people in my area are around in the day and clearly not working, and not just those that are retired. And they definately weren't people who were working from home as they were never working! Remember looking up some...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Labour could have put up some more inspiring people on BBC. So far it's been Mandleson and Streeting so far. People will be wondering if its too late to change their vote!

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    think the numbers will probably be more interesting to dig into than the seats in the coming days some suggestion that the labour vote is pretty static and its just a case of people not turning out to vote for the Conservatives or switching to Reform
