Green Party say they plan to ensure everyone has a minimum wage of £31,000pa. I run a business. I don’t earn that. I employ 2 people. They don’t earn that. The business I run doesn’t take in enough to pay that. I’d need to charge customers way more to afford that 🤷‍♂️. Or go bust.

What is going on in your life if you're purchasing alcohol on Amazon?

Steven Barrett@SBarrettBar

If you purchase alcohol on Amazon, they now demand ID on delivery Regardless of age This is pathetic. It does nothing to prevent any evil It is simply oppressive control. We must end it.

I walked out of a pub that was making people queue yesterday, and told the barman why. I’m definitely entering my grumpy old man era but it felt so good.

I'm reading about the history of the Oxbridge tutorial system and apparently they're meant to be as small as 1-3 students per tutor? I'm currently running something ostensibly called "tutorials" with 50 students per section.

Good luck continuing to wage your war against Iran without your German bases. Well nigh impossible. US troops aren’t in Germany to protect Germans. They’ve been there to project US power. Bye bye.

Nick Sortor@nicksortor

🚨 JUST IN: President Trump says the US will be withdrawing "A LOT" more troops from Germany than the 5,000 announced yesterday FINALLY. Bring our troops home! We don't need NATO — NATO needs US! "We're going to cut WAY down and we're cutting a lot further than 5,000" 🇺🇸
