Bummer. Does anyone know what happened with "Tommo"?

Eta: nice to see you!

Why he hasn't been done for fraudulence is beyond me.

Plus other people who may or may not be related possibly or possibly not by marriage or not marriage.

IDK think him slashing the dinghy is still under investigation - hopefully there will be charges arising from endangering the lifeboat man's life?

Really hope so.

In other news Badenoch seems to be hoping for a GE before the end if the year. But she wouldn't do a deal with Reform if push cane to shove. She would prefer a further GE.🤪

Maybe she wants to keep having endless GEs to beat the electorate into submission.

Thank you. Have been taking a mental health break from U.K. & US politics. Sipping my toe back in.

endangering the lives of rescue workers at sea is the sort of thing that probably carries a nice long jail sentence. So hopefully Tommo will be getting his collar felt sometime soon. He was considerate enough to film himself and provide evidence.

Hope they put him away for a nice long stretch.

2 elections in quick succession, how much is that going to cost?

Perhaps she wants the best of three.

Wouldn’t put it past her, for someone so educated she can be extremely thick.
i am off for a weeks holiday tomorrow will catch up with you all on my return.

Oh another who is glad to see Rafa back hope you are feeling a bit better💐

As someone pointed out, fuel prices are rising, it's December and she plans to run on cutting welfare?

Have a lovely time @dontcallmelen.

Can we stop having elections and new Prime Ministers and just start fixing stuff? preferably before my food bill and energy bill goes crazy and the Russians destroy us all.

Have a lovely holiday.

I'm putting that on my new year wist list.

Hope you have a lovely time on your holiday.

Tories target universal credit claimants in plan condemned as ‘fast track to poverty’

Proposals aim to push people into work, but charities say families are still paying price of austerity cuts and rise in cost of living

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/sep/23/tories-target-universal-credit-claimants-plan-condemned-fast-track-to-poverty

It could leave a person under 25 live on £7.50 a day

More "illegal immigrant racist fodder" as in "undocumented men" coming here and getting more money than those under 25 who are out of work when there's no work for them illogical nonsense.

Both Tories and Reform seem to be using EU countries as examples where their ideas work without recognising that those countries are a lot more generous and supportive.

And, whisper it, BREXIT!

That felt good.

Danny Tommo appears to have been arrested. This day is getting better.

Far too sensible!

Good to see you back.

Oooh, that would be good news

Yeah. That would fix everything.
