Pretty sure the extent of Steve Clarke's managerial prowess is giving it a "MON THEN" before they leave the dressing room

Welcome to the YooKay, where good deeds are rewarded with prison time because the government didn't grant permission.

I hate what this country has become with every fibre of my being.

🇬🇧 GUY CLEANED UP LONDON - GETS UP TO 2 YEARS IN PRISON

Environmental lawyer facing up to 2 years in prison for clearing rubbish from an East London river.

The group hired a digger for £1,000 and filled over 200 bags of rubbish, including packaging, needles, domestic appliances and even weapons. Shortly after the clean-up, Paul received a letter from the Environment Agency (EA) notifying him he was under investigation for operating without a licence.

The offence carries a maximum punishment of two years in prison, and he could also lose his job as an environmental lawyer. Despite this, Paul, who lives on a houseboat on the river, has pledged to press on, urging the EA to collaborate with him rather than pursue legal action.

How would you save the United Kingdom?

[AM @RandoomTask]

@HistoryBro1 It's fine. Not great, not the end of the world, but certainly wasn't helped by some of the Restore core artificially inflating the hype by throwing around numbers like 20%.

The lessons Restore can learn from Makerfield should be far more valuable than an extra 5-10% on paper.

[AM @RandoomTask]

@Kingbingo_ It's a little disingenuous to claim victory over the Greens and Lib Dems without acknowledging the circumstance in which they were beaten.

Many Green and Lib Dem votes will have consolidated under Burnham given the implications up stream.

[AM @RandoomTask]

@Sargon_of_Akkad This 'speak and it shall come true' larp is infantile and does nothing but provide ammunition to the opposition.

Restore should never have stood in Makerfield given the circumstance, but even so it serves as a stark reality check as to where the party stands in the real world.

[AM @RandoomTask]

@orm0nde Restore won't go anywhere without Reform having a stint in government.

The average voter is completely ignorant to politics outside of Westminster and so until Reform expose themselves for what they really are under the spotlight, they will continue to garner support.

[AM @RandoomTask]

It feels like deliberate provocation at this point.

NEW: UK’s Labour government is reportedly considering plans to abolish mandatory life sentences for murder.

Why the hell did a child that young have unfettered access to Youtube in the first place?

The support for this ban comes exclusively from wine mums who can't be bothered to parent their children.

[Jess Brown-Fuller MP @JessBrownFuller]

Some tricky conversations this evening about the impending social media ban.
‘I don’t even know who this government guy is’
‘Keir Starmer’
‘Keir Starmer, what does that mean’

[AM @RandoomTask]

Spot the difference.

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

We are banning social media access for under 16s.

These days kids must find their feet in a world where technology intrudes into every area of their life.

I just can’t let that go on anymore. So we’re giving children their childhoods back.

[AM @RandoomTask]

Simply can't be allowed to go through.

The private information of an entire nation being stored by companies all with flakey digital security will result in a fraud crisis that will last a century, not to mention the total erasure of online privacy.

Pure authoritarianism.

[Politics UK @PolitlcsUK]

🚨 NEW: Under-16s in the UK will be banned from the following 10 social media apps

TikTok
YouTube
Snapchat
Instagram
X
Reddit
Facebook
Twitch
Kick
Threads

I can understand why the political class are scrambling to embed the infrastructure for a totalitarian state as quickly as they can.

They know that if the people ever regain power, the retribution will be on a scale yet unseen in human history.

all peaceful and legal of course

Xbox is still a circus full of grade A clowns.

We all know how this goes:
- GamePass price hike
- New tier with ads at the same price as Essential was before the increase
- "It's a cheaper alternative"

It's a level of depravity even Nintendo wouldn't sink to.

[Matthew Ball @ballmatthew]

This is not correct:
• In the interview, I am asked about a comment I made before being hired at XBOX, then state that I was only 10 days into the role, and that I am not stating the company's plans or beliefs
• What I do say is that ads should be used to offer more affordable alternatives alongside today's ad-free experiences, in the hopes more could play as a result. Similar to how Netflix and Disney+ have ad-tiers with all the same content, but at half the price or so
• At no point do I even mention in-game ads

(I personally believe interrupting the gameplay experience would be bad)

[AM @RandoomTask]

@itsmindwar @313Greengiant @ballmatthew You're incredibly naive if you genuinely believe that.

What will happen in reality is that there will be a price hike across all current GamePass tiers, but at the same time they'll introduce a new tier called "Essential + Ads" at the pre hike price point of Essential.

[AM @RandoomTask]

Yeah yeah Agenda 2030 we get it.

Why even bother pretending you're doing this for anything other than to create an authoritarian hellscape?

[Home Office @ukhomeoffice]

Crime is evolving and so must the way we respond.

A new national centre for PoliceAI will responsibly develop and roll out AI tools to all forces, helping officers work faster to fight crime.

This will free up 6 million hours a year, putting officers back on the frontline.

[AM @RandoomTask]

I can't fathom why people think console exclusivity is something to cheer on. It's purely negative for the customers.

If players saw some kind of kickback like reduced prices as profits increased, then it would be understandable but that doesn't, and will never, happen.

Didn't exactly take a wizard to guess that one correctly.

You can guarantee that the minute the victim is declared stable, the nudge unit will be sent in to intimidate everyone involved to protect the establishment and its client groups.

Eventually someone will be sharp enough to record the encounter and expose their evil.

Give it 12-18 months and they'll be changing the national voting system to electronic, and we all know what happens then.

[Liz Kendall @leicesterliz]

Those who use social media to incite violence and disorder are breaking the law.
Next week we will lay in Parliament an update to the Online Safety Act requiring services to take quicker action to remove illegal content circulating during times of crisis.

[AM @RandoomTask]

@charlieINTEL Series X is good for another decade.

Bring back Xbox Live at a reasonable price for people who don't want Game Pass, start making good games with the plethora of IP owned by Xbox and sell them at a reasonable price.

It's really not difficult.

[AM @RandoomTask]

Genuinely, what is the point of the house of commons anymore?

It's become the political equivalent of a wrestling ring. Two sides engage in a manufactured exchange before disappearing backstage to have a pint together.

The difference being that this is funded by the tax payer.
