@muppet_media @TorstenBell Maybe, though automation often results in a net increase in jobs (albeit different ones). I think the offshoring of manufacturing and increased competition from China (China joined the WTO in 2000) was probably a bigger factor.

@muppet_media @TorstenBell A significant chunk of it was the rapid decline of the manufacturing sector

@parko75 @MartinSLewis Not sure they're readily available outside of Sheffield, but I'm sure you can buy in bulk online.

@Samfr I often wonder the extent to which fear of violent retribution shaped the response of key Republican figures towards Trump in the years since the Capitol insurrection. I'm concerned about how the threat of mob violence is becoming a serious factor in political decision making.

@ThePowerTest @Samfr @ayeshahazarika I'm surprised you haven't done an episode on education and skills yet! Other than the excellent ep. on Higher Education.

@SandraDunn1955 @edwinhayward Andrea was never Secretary of State, she was Skills Minister.

@Samfr Any chance this is a manoeuvre by Boris to find himself a safer seat? Maybe Nadine's?

@Timothy03154506 @BritainElects There's often a swing away from incumbent councillors, as residents get frustrated with local issues like potholes or bin collections or what have you. Local elections are a poor way of determining GE voting intention, not least as turnout is so low.

@PaulWaddington3 @afneil He did, actually. Here is Churchill visiting FDR at the Whitehouse in his air raid siren suit, 1941.

@steviebsmullet @ennuini @ARadDocDates @TomiLahren That USPS worker is a paid actor, and a bad one at that. If there's some nationwide conspiracy which involves the entire postal system don't you think there would be a few more whistleblowers, with you know... actual evidence?

@BruceSnyder_RBX @realDonaldTrump This is going to be difficult, the average Trump supporter can't count above 20

[Alex Shepherd @AlexShep98]

@ThatLegitATrain @HKrassenstein @realDonaldTrump These numbers are months out of date. I find it hilarious that the creator of this misinformation included a link to the source at the bottom which disproves it 😅

@sauce_opossum "Two bullets hit each other before they could reach anyone, resulting in everyone being safe in the end". Well not exactly, those bullets are from the Battle of Gallipoli where over 100,000 died...

@dracoyant @BrokenGamezHDR_ @IdichaUrunda @Neil_Druckmann Even if Joel was a good person, its an apocalypse. Good people die. Get over it.

@theresecoffey @paulwaugh Yes you're quite right Therese. Poor kids should just shower in cold water. It also makes a fantastic meal replacement. 🙄

@britainelects @OpiniumResearch Something... Something... 20 points ahead. Did I do it right?
