It is so bloody disappointing.

Mainly a lurker as I'm nowhere near as well-informed as you lovely lot (but credit these threads for improving understanding and countering the media and mainly hateful threads elsewhere). Just wanted to wish @DuncinToffee good luck this weekend, we're off to do the same and I'll be lost 😥

Is that the PIP one? I reported it when it was fairly new and nothing came if it. So much bullshit from the OP.

Yes. It is vile.

Good luck to you too.

I have just taken DD for a supermarket shop and come back in torrential rain. She is packing now, feeling excited and stressed.

Thanks for the new thread. Good luck with DD @DuncinToffee! I remember that stage well. I was very jealous of DS1's brand new uni room, with its own ensuite - so different from my own when I went!

No new cat tax, but a photo of beautiful San Sebastian, where we've been for the last 4 days. (Sadly home now).

Very relevant and putting it all into context

Nigel Farage, who claims to be an anti-cancel culture warrior for "free speech", has just banned a series of critical news organisations from reporting on his party conference

Here's Blanket - DS made a tent for her while I was away.

I'm also disappointed by the free stuff but the media will make it look bad no matter what.

Sorry to say agree with most of this - what a bloody mess

With the best glasses donor money can buy, surely Starmer can see that this week has been a total disaster

Don't delete your account Pandora and try not to respond to those whose pleasure comes from your despair and anger. Infantile but they walk among us. And even vote, sadly. Good luck to all new students too. Grandson off tomorrow as well.

Agree @efacsen.

@newnamethanks I won't. I have calmed down now!

Saw this photo of Farage on the Guardian site. Could they have chosen a more unflattering one?🤣🤣🤣

Literally 👓

It's all about the optics isn't it?

My previous response was in reply to this comment.

Forgot to paste it 🤦‍♀️

Pandora sorry you've had troubles. I read the OP of the pip post and exited the thread asap.

Thanks for the new thread @DuncinToffee Not able to upload pics for some reason so.just checking in.

Breaking news on the BBC

Sir Keir Starmer, Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner and Chancellor Rachel Reeves will not accept any further donations for clothing after a row over donations, a Downing Street source has said.

Hopefully some better news - at last - it seems to have taken forever to even start to get a grip on this

Starmer, Rayner, Reeves will no longer accept donations for clothes – reports
Some breaking news at the moment that Labour have announced Keir Starmer, Angela Rayner and Rachel Reeves will not accept any further donations for clothing.
More details soon …

x-post sorry

I interrupted mine busily occupying DS's bed.

Matt Green 😅

It is disappointing. I really hope they find their feet and quit making own goals for all our sakes.

🤣🤣🥰

Had to do a double take there 😂

Really. It shows a lack of real nous. Something both cheap minded about it because they could afford the majority of these things. I do not think a Labour PM should be wearing donor funded glasses. If he wants to have glasses of that ilk he should pay for them. It is the donor thing that annoys me really.

My silken under crackers are donor funded… ridiculous
