@GilR @SpencerKlavan But it has worked for 99.9% of us, so there's that

@andrew10612 @BertDalziel I have two cows - small cows at that - and when just one of them, usually Plum, starts pelting at me full tilt...it takes a lot of guts to hold up my hand to her and tell her firmly, "No! stop it Plummy!" rather than RUUUNNNNNN!!!!!

@stuey_beef If no-one is willing to tackle the actual triple-lock, the least we can do is claw some of that back through income tax before it bankrupts us entirely

[Feeling 'elfish @feeling_elfish]

@stuey_beef Instead of thinking up a new tax break for pensioners, why not tackle the reason this is happening in the first place: 1) The personal allowance has declined significantly in real terms, and 2) the triple lock means the state pension has increased significantly in real terms

@nycexpatmom Actual disabled people are harmed by this bullshit. I struggle with leaving on time - One minute I've everything I need and the next I've randomly put something down somewhere and have to look for it all over again. Am I late? No, because I compensate for my crappy foibles

@London_W4 Because the actual workers are already at work long before rush hour?

@PolitlcsUK @spectator What a fantastic idea, I can really see this improving women's career prospects. When the interview is a close call between two candidates, one male and one a worker who menstruates....who to choose??

[Feeling 'elfish @feeling_elfish]

@nottheoljc @utdBrett Ah yes, that is a fair point. In South Africa we didn't call those sweets on sticks lollies, so I had actually entirely forgotten that's where the lolly part of ice lolly comes from...

“There’s still 21 pubs left and a small builders merchants in Dunstable that needs closing”

Unless they intend to enforcing cooling on kitchens, factory lines and the outside, this will simply turn into the ‘public sector workers go home at 30c’ law.

@antibearthesis Because it was listed at 536x a sensible valuation, so it can fall 99.8% before hitting fair value

@VintageMrHobbes @TerribleMaps And a follow up question - in our house some things were kept 'for smart' and only used when guests came. But if guests have to pad around your cocktail party in their stocking feet...for whom are you keeping the new floors smart?

[Feeling 'elfish @feeling_elfish]

@VintageMrHobbes @TerribleMaps I have a question....coming from South Africa which does not have this problem at all....what happens if I arrive at someone's house....in sandals???
* There are two reasons South Africa does not have this problem 1) Shoes on if you wants, and 2) barefoot is cool too

@fxxfy UK looking to ban social media for under 16's. Cue a lot of debate in our household on the difference between social media, Streaming TV, gaming, other corners of the internet where you can chat to people... Lines are very blurry. But X is a talkspace, and I like that

[No Context Brits @NoContextBrits]

They never stood a chance.

[soph @sphwbb]

won't be taking any prime minister seriously until they lay out a plan to make england better for people born post-1990. it's tiresome being expected to foot the bill for literally everyone else and getting increasingly little back for it

[Feeling 'elfish @feeling_elfish]

@LucyGoBag Oh ours is fundamentally resetting the relationship alright. Just not in a good way

[Feeling 'elfish @feeling_elfish]

@TrattenRabbit Kick it and see if it squeals

@RanTeeThree Your digital ID not working today? Bad luck, but that means no job/house/hospital for you today...maybe try again tomorrow? Its probably just a mistake.
Or not
