Hey! @HiveHomeUK - another 'tech' company with no search function on its website and impossible to contact: useuless FAQs, disabled enquiry forms and access only to a chat bot which can't help either. Fault with our receiver - not controlling the boiler.

'Divide and Rule'.
What if the 1% are deliberately manufacturing deeply polarised societies?
What if the differences between, for example, the "woke and anti-woke", Leavers and Remainers, migrants and non-migrants are deliberately exaggerated, or entirely manufactured?

Isn't every decent person on earth sick to fucking death of divisive politicians like Robert Jenrick, Donald Trump & Boris Johnson (to name but a few) shamelessly telling easily disprovable barefaced lies? Well done @krishgm. Why don't more journalists just simply call them out?

As the standfirst says: “Figures show ability to work from home differs across age, *job type* and education”. Which really means job type. Is this in any way a surprise? Some jobs require presence, some don’t. theguardian.com/business/202…

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

Lesson for Starmer and Reeves from Trump is if Britons feel worse off in 2029 then Labour is toast.

Weird narrative from some that a modest increase in employers NI will mean workers should expect lower headline pay rises.
Did corporate Britain ever hand out bumper pay rises when corporation tax was cut?

On News at 10, @BBCNews has just reported that the government will announce an increase in the minimum wage “in the budget”. What has that got to do with fiscal policy?

One thing @UKLabour should do is go back to having an autumn spending review and the accompanying debate and then follow it with a spring budget. The Tories conflated them on purpose.

After over 12 years of rhetoric about ‘Hardworking Families’, we’re now told by the media that there is no accepted or acceptable definition of ‘Working People’. Or is it just me who’s missing the point?

Here we go… the big developers’ lobbying has borne fruit already. Why drop a policy which is popular, as well as necessary? theguardian.com/environment/…

R4 Today doing its best to amplify the Trump v @UKLabour non-story. Why do they keep running with these manufactured scandals? Not much about Musk’s lottery bribe that actually is against US electoral law.

"Water companies raise bonuses to £9.1m despite record sewage discharges."
Yes you read that right. £3.3 million of that is @stwater while @thameswater has double its executive bonuses to £1.3 million. We've being had.

It would be a real shame if this tweet by Elon Musk (in 2022) saying that Trump is too old to be president went viral.
You know what to do.

So, the trains that are designed to cut journey times are to have the most comfort. Sounds a bit counterintuitive to me. theguardian.com/uk-news/2024…
