@hate_nostalgia I have a soup maker and a food processor, so veg into food processor for chopping and then everything into the soup maker, next to no actual prep required by me and can then freeze portions of it for even less prep when reheating. Otherwise literally just add veg to pot noodle

@jemgilbert But also apparently not binding enough to do things it says in the 2024 manifesto in this parliament instead of the next ...

Privatisation has failed so comprehensively that the government is having to create a competitor to the National Grid. Just nationalise the energy system, build out renewables at scale, and explain this is what you mean by ending Thatcherism.

1. Most (not all) money paid out in pensions returns to the economy in spending, so it's not lost or wasted, it doesn't disappear. 2. Means-testing is expensive. I worked (years ago) in means-tested benefits - more was paid out in employing staff than in paying benefits. (2/n)

@RichieMitch99 @Arbeitologist @myles_premium_ And frankly it's pretty dismissive to just be like "London is for the rich" when 13% of the population of the UK are in London and they certainly aren't all rich, not by a long shot. Londoners deserve action against awful rent rates too

@RichieMitch99 @Arbeitologist @myles_premium_ So you can see from the second link that I posted that average room rent is: Birmingham £612 Manchester £680 Durham £648 York £744 Leeds £572 Liverpool £556 Belfast £600 Glasgow £676 So backing my point that £500 not easy to get and it's not a simple way to bring down costs

@jsharryb1 @myles_premium_ @Arbeitologist It's also assuming that all people are working near where their parents live. A lot of people with low salaries are those who moved to entry level type roles, especially in cities away from their parent(s), and so can't just stay at home.

@RichieMitch99 @Arbeitologist @myles_premium_ Average room in London is £995 m.spareroom.co.uk/statistics/lon… And just generally, average room rent is above £500, so obviously some places are below that but it's not as simple as just getting a room in a house share to bring costs down. m.spareroom.co.uk/content/info-l…

@NoJusticeMTG Turnout was mostly under 50% and no ward had anyone elected on an absolute majority, most in the range 38 - 43%, and no evidence that these people specifically voted for Reform. But also, suppose they did? How awful to revel in children losing out because of adults' choices

@alwaysasubject @yorksranter @Alex_Niven Yeah it's always kegs in East Yorkshire too, I think it's a north west vs north east dialect divide? And then there's a whole thing about whether it means underwear or trousers

So why would so many straight people refuse to date bisexuals? When we asked people to tell us in their own words, many gave vague or nondescript answers like "just don't" or "my preference", as well as generic expressions of discomfort Among more specific answers, the most

@MalcolmDeDodd @maxshanly I think if you want compulsory voting then the only way it can be democratically fair is to have a "none of the above" option with real consequences and either some kind of requirement for employers to facilitate their employees voting, or a complete public holiday

@PierreMondriet @bencsmoke Right? Surely you make a law that says no donations over x amount unless made by a certified trade union from their political fund. And if you worry about unions becoming vehicles for laundering donations, cap the amounts a union can donate based on their membership

@osmarks1 @h4imlor @guidedbyangelzz If it's cross country they regularly cancel the seat reservations or are so overcrowded on certain routes' sections that people can't actually get to their seat reservations to ask. They also cancel frequently and don't have any good system for reserving on the next train running

@bencsmoke Baffling isn't it? His most recent singles are Hind's Hall and Hind's Hall 2, both of which literally have Free Palestine in the lyrics. I don't think he's had a set in the last 2 years where he hasn't done Hind's Hall.

@realWarlund @splitmaude Vendors pay for ticket refunds to fans when a show is cancelled. Behind the scenes there will be a legal agreement between vendor/venue/artist. Sheeran likely has a clause that means that cost ultimately falls on the venues if they're responsible for the cancellation of shows
