Happy International Women's Day everyone. (November 19th)

Usually listen to political podcasts at the gym. For my daughter I have "Silly Stories for Kids" subscribed for which a new episode has popped up.

Might be a better listen and make more sense at the moment. #PimPimIsLessCrazy

My ankle was constantly sore - been hammering the gym and running to lose timber.

I found the solution - just booked and paid in advance for a physio session next week.

Instant relief this morning. Moving perfectly and without discomfort. FFS.

Must have been tempting to delay the release for the Christmas market. The perfect gift for the older relatives. You know, give them the hint to start clearing their crap out.

General feeling amongst freelancer friends is there not much work about across various industries.

Is this AI or is it just a flat economy with companies hesitant to spend with war and insanity in the global economy?

Wait - it's about to rain. Was that it? Was that summer again?

If you have to keep a spreadsheet to keep a track of enemies you have a much more interesting life than mine.

Mainly just the bloke at the gym that sits on the machine I want on his phone. And that bloke changes by the hour and is sometimes me.

'I fiddled the meter for a mate - and the shop burnt down' A BBC investigation speaks to electricians and families setting up illegal meter bypasses to steal power.

You know those cautionary tale news articles that try to warn you off something but instead just provide people with ideas...

Preferred it when they just called us Sassenach tbf

Who will the London youth stab now?

2026 is going to deliver it's Windows ME.

Been a while since we had one we all universally hated so much we've had to wipe it from our memories.

"Friends" is a beloved American sitcom that aired from 1994 to 2004, following six young adults—Rachel, Ross, Monica, Chandler, Joey, and Phoebe—living in New York City. The show explores their friendships, romances, careers, and personal growth over ten seasons.

Family commitments so couldn't go but go West!

Annnndd this is why I resigned my membership. If you keep getting told you're on the wrong path and keep doubling down and then get shown what everyone is telling you is true... Then carry on, is there any hope for the Labour leadership team?

Humanity? Not much. That we're all led by hopeless war mongering fools?!

Her family asked the kids if they wanted a "dippy egg". Then served. fried eggs.

They refused to accept this term only refers to soft boiled eggs (with non optional soldiers).

Am I wrong to cut all ties? I'm not am I?

Everyone should have to learn basic economics. Supply and Demand and what a monopoly is. A population that understands those two simple theories would be better qualified to vote / make better consumer choices etc

It's too much to ask for *the* big one though. Right?

When are the blue bins emptied? Workers are going to put their backs out.

If you live in the Gorton and Denton constituency and spoke to a Reform party member on your doorstep or in the streets then I'd like to speak to you for an article. My DMs are open.

Screenshot of BBC news "Chris Mason: Green Party win will prompt soul searching for Labour and questions for Starmer"

No questions for Reform then Chris Mason? 😂

Nothing on alienating a large section of the voters or poor candidate selection or...

Going to make finding a good plumber in Manchester harder.

Selfish.

FPTP has definitely made many potential voters fear taking the plunge on Green (and even for the right wing parties).

Greens winning this by-election will show everyone that it's more ok to vote with your heart (and perhaps others will too).

Worth remembering Greens are complete minnows in UK

Interesting to see what the BBC Editorial excuses on why they'll continue to pump Reform at every opportunity and not give Greens and progressives airtime.

"Because polls / voteshare / seats in parliament/ whatever excuse".

Great to see a viable Green choice now.

We always felt like the last democracy in Europe to actually have a political party to represent those concerned about the environment. At least one where your vote was probably wasted or worse helping Tories.

Would have really hammered Greens chances in a GE in many contested seats if progressive voters were shown that there's a danger to not just holding your nose.

I think that's the best possible outcome.

All those that took the plunge to vote Green didn't get stung letting Reform in via FTTP.

Reform didn't win.

Labour will hopefully, finally, get the message something needs to change.

Interested to hear, what with photo ID now being required, how he thinks fraud has even been committed?!

Nothing is ever enough for these people is it? They'll have us all barcoded.

A Member of Parliament resigned. So it's an election for a particular seat outside of a general election.

The UK media get very, very excited about them.

Start with improving the comms. Tell people what you are actually doing.
Listen to them when they raise concerns.
And definitely listen to your own members who quit telling them to stop chasing the Reform votes.
