@Ankaman616 Turns out it was not a good idea to take off the oy CB with any pace. Mainoo, Amad and Mbuemo have been excellent, the rest of the team...

@IKEAUKSupport I ordered some bookshelves for delivery to a click and collect locker. The estimate delivery is yesterday and the status is 'packing' and has been since Monday. When should I expect this order?

@DanNeidle As ever with ChatGPT - difficult to be confident of the facts but I found this chat really helpful to work through the issues. Helped me think of council tax as a wealth tax!

Wealth tax. No country has introduced a tax like this. Actual real life wealth taxes either raise little or hit the middle class more than the mega-wealthy.

A few people have asked me what I think of this list. Some of the items are realistic. Some (including the big ticket items) are not. Some are too vague to assess.

The problem is an exploitative, extractive economic system rigged against most people and our planet. The solution is not further cuts - we need to tax extreme wealth instead. 10 alternative proposals to disability benefit cuts from Labour MPs last week, totalling up to £120bn:

@14_Blank_Spaces @StatisticUrban The post was about London being a nice place to live, well Richmond in London certainly is!

London genuinely might be the nicest major city in the western world.

New York City has fallen. My advice: flee while you still can. The city of New York will soon become unrecognizable and trash filled like London and Paris. Very sad. They still have a chance to stop him in November, but seeing how brainwashed New Yorkers are I have no hope.

@maxrconrad Hi Max. Looking at the map for Kentish Town station, the ticket machines are located just inside the Kentish Town Road entrance to the station. You can see this map on the station page here ➡️ nationalrail.co.uk/stations/kenti…

@nationalrailenq hi, your website says Kentish Town has a ticket machine but it does not - not sure how one is supposed to buy a ticket here!

@Gomez_Lopez10 @nationalrailenq @Monica123q Hey @Monica123q how much for a return from Kentish Town to Reigate? 😆

Anyone over 6ft should be required to stand at the back at gigs. You guys get enough privileges in life let us short people have this one thing.

@fenifur That's pretty macabre-looking. I read about the cordyceps fungus that 'mind controls' insects and makes them climb and expel it's spores. It looks like that might have happened but I'm no biologist so it's just a guess. Have you read 'Entangled Life' I thought it was 🤯

@shitbritishpics I just drove past the Circus Tavern and it had a big poster advertising 'a night with Katie Hopkins'

This is false?
Margaret Thatcher's net approval rating three months after winning the 1979 election was +2 with Ipsos.
She had the same approval rating in March, two months before the election.
Starmer is a) much more unpopular b) has suffered a calamitous fall in ratings.

@SarahJayneKeny1 @MarkUrban01 I actually think the freebies thing is news. But as you say there is a lot of real news out there which is more important - I'd be really interested to read/hear more about the legality/morality of the exploding devices in Lebanon for e.g.

It's a choice. Run or instigate a whole lot of unimportant process stories about the new government on the one hand, or deal with what it can do, is doing or failing to do to retrieve this country from the doldrums on the other

@MarkUrban01 I guess 'story' is always relative. Accepting this, the story is not 'Sue Gray earns more than PM' (it's not even true factoring in benefits in kind). Seems the story is McSweeney hates Sue Gray, so they should be honest in the framing of the story, not transcribe their source's
English
@maxrconrad I would say that it *is* a story, but it's a question of prominence and whether, given the competitive nature of the lobby, it now inspires other pol corrs to go after similar stories, drawing them away from other stuff
