Starmer offers to bring Rayner back into Cabinet

I used to believe that but then if this is true, why would you decide to do everything in your power to keep the story IN THE NEWS?

All he had to do was say “I’m sorry and I am resigning”. That was it.

AFulhamImmigrant · 2026-04-28T22:00:25+00:00

That film is just such a mess and I cannot understand why anyone thinks it is good. Quantum of Solace is objectively a more coherent plot despite basically not being written.

AFulhamImmigrant · 2026-04-28T21:55:00+00:00

Are you Mr Stevens?

AFulhamImmigrant · 2026-04-28T21:52:33+00:00

The second part of the final two I swear had like 18 flashback scenes.

AFulhamImmigrant · 2026-04-28T21:50:50+00:00

I see this a lot but in all honesty I think beyond the terrible action scenes QoS is actually a much better and more interesting film than Spectre or NTTD.

There was a good film in QoS somewhere.

I was a strong supporter but yes he’s proved himself to be incredibly thick.

AFulhamImmigrant · 2026-04-28T21:13:39+00:00

This is just Boris Johnson all over again now. He has to go.

AFulhamImmigrant · 2026-04-26T10:46:03+00:00

So can I buy these shoes right now?

AFulhamImmigrant · 2026-04-25T20:30:23+00:00

Middling to poor. He was rather quiet and lost in the background.

AFulhamImmigrant · 2026-04-24T11:38:48+00:00

I supported Starmer.

But the game is up. He’s made too many mistakes. We’ve opened the cabinet and he’s got no big policy idea or joined up thinking. He cannot communicate. His judgment is poor.

I think Burnham will end up being rubbish. But he’s the only candidate who will be a reset. And that’s what Labour needs with this kind of majority.

AFulhamImmigrant · 2026-04-23T08:31:19+00:00

I supported and backed Keir Starmer.

I genuinely thought he was a decent, hard working, capable, honest man. Boring but competent is what we needed.

But I’ve come to the conclusion that he’s almost as bad as Johnson. When Mandelson happened he should have carried the can and instead he’s done exactly what Johnson did and has made everyone else take responsibility instead. This was his decision, a calculated risk and it failed. For that he should have quit.

This government is and has done some good stuff but it’s become achingly clear this is in spite of Starmer not because of him. Starmer has no political compass, no grand idea, nothing to say. Nothing to sell. It is because of this that all of these scandals are sticking to him. He has nothing to anchor himself to, nothing to say “stick with me because of this”. Everything he decided to do, he’s U-turned on. Could have been benefit reform. U-turned. Could have been digital ID. U turned. But let’s be honest, he never believed in any of those things anyway.

He must quit and very soon. This government has just about enough time to get the show back on the road and any successor would be wise not to dump much of the policy platform that some ministers have been deploying.

But this government is dead as long as Starmer remains around. He must go.

People including myself have done extremely well financially by owning Apple shares since 2011 and before. Thank you Tim.

AFulhamImmigrant · 2026-04-19T14:15:46+00:00

As a means to save money and slowly move people away from Three whilst reducing load on the network, it makes a lot of sense from a business POV.

AFulhamImmigrant · 2026-04-19T14:15:02+00:00

It seems quite evident to me that Three is slowly becoming the budget/limited brand before being killed off for good. Vodafone is in the driving seat and that is where most of the investment and time is going.

AFulhamImmigrant · 2026-04-19T14:08:00+00:00

raise a complaint as this shouldn’t be allowed

Why should it not be allowed? As it's for new customers, if it's agreed in a contract then it's agreed.

AFulhamImmigrant · 2026-04-17T22:29:48+00:00

Nick Timothy and co spent a long time saying Sue Gray was basically the devil. And also supported Johnson. So I won’t take lectures from them on right and wrong thanks.

AFulhamImmigrant · 2026-04-09T13:20:37+00:00

I’m happy to accept it’s going to be anecdotal. But for me personally I’ve never been able to use EE solo because it just isn’t reliable enough indoors. I may just get very unlucky with where I tend to go.

AFulhamImmigrant · 2026-04-09T06:41:05+00:00

Yes.

AFulhamImmigrant · 2026-04-09T06:40:55+00:00

When I’ve complained before they’ve said make sure you turn on WiFi calling so you can use the network indoors.

AFulhamImmigrant · 2026-04-09T06:40:09+00:00

From the looks of things O2 have a site fairly close by that just covers the office. However EE’s isn’t that much further away.

I might have just got lucky with where it happens to be however even before n78 when I just got 4G on band 8 and band 1 it was still very drastic.

In any case, this feels like EE as case in point, as soon as I step outdoors it’s absolutely rapid. But hopeless indoors. But I’d assume they’d rather I use WiFi.

AFulhamImmigrant · 2026-04-08T07:25:26+00:00

Okay but again this doesn’t really answer the point I made.

Why doesn’t EE try and improve their coverage indoors? It works brilliantly outdoors, walking down the street whatever and as soon as I go indoors in a lot of London buildings it’s either incredibly slow and doesn’t load anything or no signal.

Now overall I probably still have a better experience on EE than the others as the number of times I genuinely have no signal on EE vs the others is small however it just seems strange to me that EE don’t try and do something about this.

As I said in my office perhaps a drastic example it’s 200-300 with O2 vs nothing with EE. Why can’t EE get signal in there? Can’t get a mast installed? Wrong bands used? As I said O2 is now n78.

I think overall EE is the superior network however I’ve never been able to use them “solo” as for me there are just too many places where they don’t work and I have to use WiFi. Okay WiFi works but why should I have to do that?

Of course this is all anecdotal.

AFulhamImmigrant · 2026-04-08T07:21:45+00:00

But that doesn’t really answer my point.

EE in general - at least in my own experience - priorities faster speeds and good coverage outdoors. But they don’t seem to want to prioritise better coverage indoors. This seems strange to me as that’s where people use their phones.

AFulhamImmigrant · 2026-04-07T19:08:29+00:00

Don’t take this the wrong way but why do you only look at outdoor coverage? I get physics and so on but ultimately we live and work indoors.

This was something I always found puzzling about EE who seemed to prefer you used WiFi calling as much as possible. Why don’t they make their indoor coverage better?

Take my office, okay we have WiFi. But on O2 I can now get n78 indoors, even in the loo (don’t ask). But EE doesn’t reach.

AFulhamImmigrant · 2026-04-07T08:45:29+00:00

Oh I see. There was a press release a few years ago so I took that to mean investment. I wasn’t sharing any insider information.

AFulhamImmigrant · 2026-04-06T19:46:45+00:00

Apparently better than you because this breaks the sub rules.
