They are rare and talented people and richly deserve to earn the same as twenty nurses. I don't think!

In exchange for just £350k a year, plus bonuses. He worked his index finger to the bone using that mouse all day, bless him

Oh I can beat that. I just realised that a lovely chalet maid I worked with in France *32 years ago* was trying to hook up with me for *the whole six-month ski season* D'oh!

I wish I'd achieved more in my first 100 days. It took Liz Truss only half this time to wreck the economy, double everyone's mortgage and resign. By this point Boris Johnson had lied to The Queen, illegally prorogued Parliament and lost 15 votes in the Commons.

Never thought I'd be cheering for the Daily Mail, but here we are

The Daily Mail just won the right to say Douglas Barrowman has "cocktail-sausage fingers". And it won the right to say his actions ruined thousands of lives, led to two suicides, and that he lied about his ties to a likely fraudulent tax scheme. Thread.

Put up identical post on BlueSky(left) and TwiX (right) earlier today. Despite having 20x more followers on TwiX, the post actually got *more* engagement on Bluesky. TwiX is on its last legs. Great job, Elmo.

And the British public-school system is *yet again* to blame. Musk bought X because his ex-wife feared "the woke mind virus" and thought X was the cure. She is British Actress Tallulah Riley, the product of Berkhamsted School, Cheltenham Ladies and Haberdashers

Tories Are Lost Because Their Ideology Failed. Here's a terrific paragraph by @cjayanetti.bsky.social@bloomberg.comwww.bloomberg.com/opinion/arti...

The last 14 years have seen the total failure of virtually every element of Conservative ideology. That isn't idle polemic — the Tories lost because nothing works, and because nothing they did worked. “Small state” austerity left public services in a state of collapse. Proposed tax cuts threatened to blow up the economy under Liz Truss. Privatization crashed the probation service. Deregulation achieved few upsides and helped contribute to the Grenfell disaster. Culture wars alienated moderate voters. Targeting immigrants left public services understaffed and resulted in policy fiascos such as the Windrush scandal and the now-scrapped Rwanda deportation scheme. A hard line on law and order, without commensurate public spending, ended in overcrowded prisons and dysfunctional police. All this without even mentioning Brexit.
