@MerrynSW Successful policy. Labour wants fewer people to be privately educated, it has had a downer on private education for decades. It is achieving that goal - and doesn't care about the consequences!

[Steve Burrows @2of]

As one who despises both Blair's and Starmer's govt's for the huge damage they've done to the UK, I want to recognise and praise @alanmilburn1958 for the frank content of your "Young people and work: interim report". You've exposed real harm caused by socialist dogma. Thank you.

[Steve Burrows @2of]

A @UKLabour minister, and ex-minister, doing something useful. 👏 The problem is not our young, it's the government, unions, employment regs & taxes. Just as business leaders have been saying for years: greedy politicians have directly caused these harms.

Shocked and disgusted by this. Whilst I think we all recognise that social media can negatively impact our children, control of this is the responsibility of parents.
Abdication to the "Nanny State" has already broken UK society and should be reversed.

Reality is that headline is the Net Increase, 'cos over 800,000 came to the UK last year, while 642,000 gave up and left - and who can blame them?

Six decades of mad, bad policy across both Conservative and Labour gov'ts disadvantaging UK-born youngsters. It needs fixing.

[Steve Burrows @2of]

Hey @10DowningStreet, relaxing sanctions on Russian oil 'cos you're not prepared to defend UK interests by helping force Iran to respect "Freedom of Navigation" is immoral, unethical and intrinsically corrupt appeasement. Typical of you; soft on evil, turn a blind eye. 🙈🤬

[Steve Burrows @2of]

@PaulCli68311802 @BBC Probably not, but the BBC has become a woke propaganda engine, "progressively" disenfranchising an increasing proportion of the population (and contributing to the destabilising and divisive de-normalisation of British society). Unless it changes audiences will fall further.

[Steve Burrows @2of]

Hard times for the @BBC. My advice for Matt Brittin; "De-woke or go broke".

Huge opportunity to fix Auntie, but will need to be very unpopular with staff.

Got to laugh at this Labour leadership farce. Reality is that @Keir_Starmer, worst PM the UK has had in my lifetime, is the best that Labour has to offer. The only way that the UK moves forward is by ditching corrupt self-serving @UKLabour forever.

@Mark1957 🤣

[Steve Burrows @2of]

@r0ck3t23 Some truth in this.... but do humans have the brains to cope with the opportunity jobs of the future?

Personally, I'm dubious!

[Steve Burrows @2of]

@bt_uk @bt_uk Regrettably, as a rural dweller, I am quite often out of mobile / SMS reception. Are you able to implement a _proper_ 2FA mechanism such as Google et. al. Authenticator rolling codes - this mechanism is used by many inc. UK Gov't HMRC to authenticate users!

[Steve Burrows @2of]

Hey @bt_uk can you please report this scammer account to @X - more likely to take it down if you complain to them!

[Steve Burrows @2of]

@bt_uk Well done. Now can you please sort out the "how to turn off 2FA in My BT" issue I raised with you yesterday?

Ta!

[Steve Burrows @2of]

@bt_uk Tried that via BT website.. but it only permits me to change / update the mobile number used for 2FA texts, it does not permit me to turn off 2FA. And I'm not going to try to solve this over the 'phone 'cos I'm very hard of hearing, I expect, rightly, web services to work!

[Steve Burrows @2of]

@bt_uk you have forced 2-factor authentication on to my My_BT account without my consent. Your website says it is optional and I can switch it off, but there does not appear to be a facility to do so. How do I turn this unwanted 2FA off?

I am disgusted that Father Ted is being used as a fig leaf to cover RTE's disgraceful antisemitism.

[Steve Burrows @2of]

@mullan_stu49394 Fractured US alliance and generational recession are both products of Starmer-led policies, so I guess some in Labour have come to see the light!

Unfortunately Starmer is likely the best that Labour has, so any replacement would be even more damaging.
