Scammers just tried an ‘Account Takeover’ on my EE number. After some setup verbals they caused a text to be sent from EE including a code to ‘authorise a sim change’. I got the code but wouldn’t repeat it when asked and at that point the scam fails. Let’s be careful out there!

As a 71yr old I completely support the Road Safety Strategy with compulsory sight tests for 70 yrs. In my 31yrs Police service there were many times I found drivers who failed the 20m test at 10m or under. Lowering the drink drive limit is also long overdue.

Shocking this: The diary of Sapper Storey has been taken from the Pegasus Museum on June 6th this year. This unique document was a recent addition. to the museum. Fortunately the family still have the original documents, but are distressed that it has been taken. @BattlefieldBen @WW2TV @WeHaveWaysPod @ww2headquarters facebook.com/story.php?story

William Tell on Netflix, set in 1307, and Tell uses the phrase ‘Milk of human kindness’, first coined, as we all know, by Shakespeare 300yrs later in Macbeth. Not looking for historical accuracy but adjacent to it would be nice!

The PM whipping his MPs to keep kids in poverty is why he deserves the name; Sir Kid Starver!

Newsnight analyse why Rishi Sunak left the D-Day commemorations early, and it's not pretty Nicholas Watt, "D-Day 1984 Margaret Thatcher was there. 1994 John Major was there. 2004 Tony Blair was there. This afternoon Rishi Sunak was there but then he wasn't there" "We have the world leaders at D-Day with Macron, Scholz and Biden - we don't have Rishi Sunak" "And who is meeting Zelenskyy? That would be Keir Starmer" "Why was Rishi Sunak not there? Paul Brand confirmed that Rishi Sunak came back to do an interview with him to say that he wasn't a liar" Kirsty Wark, "The Prime Minister Rishi Sunak came back from the D-Day commemeration to do an interview to try and clear his name" Tim Montgomerie, "I don't understand it.. If he came back for a political interview, from the D Day commemorations, that is indefensible" "I rang all of the contacts I could in Downing Street and I got no response. I don't think they know how to defend what happened" "It's extraordinary that the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Rishi Sunak, it's political malpractice of the highest order" Kirsty Wark, "It's not Prime Ministerial, is it?" Tim Montgomerie, "It's not dignified"

I had a spare couple of hours so watched The Good The Bad and The Ugly for the thousandth time. In the scene where Tuco meets his brother Pablo there’s a statue in the room wearing a Superman T-shirt. Am I just wrong or is this an undiscovered ‘Easter Egg’?

This is such a powerful video
 So simple So much sense The Tories know this too But they also know that it’s the millionaires & billionaires who donate to them that keep them in power 
and the sad truth is, that’s who they really work for.
