@MerrynSW @Angela68060318 SERCO has catering contract which they then subcontract to the lowest bidder & SERCO pocket the difference between what they tendered from taxpayers cash to what they pay the companies they gave the contracts to. Hence no nutritional value in the meals supplied - microwaved muck.

We had a tow bar fitted to our @Tesla Model Y by a reputable company but apparently the car needs a software update to tow. Tesla are refusing to enable "Trailer Mode" because they didn't fit the tow bar.

I've spent 2 decades studying dynamics of societal crisis & collapse. It’s now clear that Liz Truss is leading Britain into a convergence of crises that is likely to culminate in an unprecedented social and economic collapse 🧵/1 https://t.co/VuUALqzN9B @BylineTimes

The reason I'm retweeting UK photos and videos of today's protest across 50 towns and cities is that, as of now, NONE of UK's mainstream media is reporting the scale of the national UK protests.

NEW

OBR confirms on record my story from 9 days ago that it prepared a draft forecast for new Chancellor waiting for him on first day at Treasury 6th September, and that an offer for a legally compliant forecast to accompany the mini-budget was rejected.

Mass mortalities washing up on beaches, lobsters and crabs dying in pots, lobster and crab eggs dissolving. Fair to say it’s been a concerning year along the Northeast coast. TODAY universities release their research findings, a thread 🧵1/8

[Robert Peston @Peston]

The Truss and Kwarteng excuse for refusing to allow the @OBR_UK to mark its mini budget homework - as expressed by @griffitha - is that their growth plan was only half formed: it would have been wrong they say to ask the fiscal watchdog to give a verdict on how high and…

I am going to try to explain why the Bank of England has gone into the market to buy up to £65bn of UK government bonds with maturities of 20 years or more, including £1bn today. It all stems from a dramatic collapse in the price of these government bonds, called gilts, a...

If you’re a Tory MP elected in or before 2015 your head must be spinning today. In the last seven years you’ve had to argue for compassionate conservatism, austerity, getting rid of green crap, net zero, tackling burning injustices, cutting Universal Credit, industrial strategy…

One might call this a felonious hit-and-run, but police call it "inexperience."

"Officers said the teenage driver wasn't reckless, but inexperienced. He wasn't cited because a vehicle-code infraction wasn't committed in an officer's presence, authorities said. "

Today I saw a driver using his phone whilst huffing NO2 from a balloon. I feel, quite frankly, disturbed and upset by this. I did not know what to do, and don't think I got enough phone evidence to report.

[Niall Paterson @skynewsniall]

I am feeling very uneasy about people being arrested for shouting at *Prince Andrew*

[Douglas Mcfarlane @DougMcfarlane59]

I'm considering get a helmet cam for my truck, the sheer number of people I see when I look down typing away on their phone.
Even saw one lady ordering shit of Amazon as she drifted across the A1M.
Roads around Blackburn were flooded (see earlier tweet) even the motorway was

In this heat don't forget to leave a bowl of piss out for Bear Grylls

[Ceri Bradshaw 🖤🧠 @ceribrad]

@Tim_Burgess I used to play outside in 40C when I was a kid. No suncream, lobster red was a sign of strength, when we collapsed with heat, mum would beat us with a broom until we got back up. If I complained, dad would stab me. Didn’t do me any harm. I’m a prick, but it didn’t do me any harm.

Boris Johnson insists he didn’t knowingly break any rules, and in hindsight regrets not being present when the rules were made at Boris Johnson’s house by Boris Johnson.

Tory MP Tom Hunt: “I’ve often felt that offshore processing is the only way to truly tackle this issue”

Jo Coburn: “This is offshore processing to stay in Rwanda not here”

Tom Hunt: “To stay in a safe European country, Rwanda”

These identikit Tory stooges are fascinating. Plummy chaps in good suits, utterly committed to their stoogery, stooging like there’s no tomorrow
