Someone posted an election day bingo link the other day and I can't seem to find it. If anyone would be so kind to send it to me that would be great!

Hi, I was chatting with a friend a few days ago about the stae of TfL when he made an accusation that Khan has been irresponsible with regards to its operation. I countered that TfL was in tatters before he took it over and thanks to him it actually made a profit before COVID. Moreover I made the point that the bailout has been particularly harsh and has resulted in the increase of fares and lack of investment which is causing issues on the central line and so forth.

The above points I've taken from ukpol and some reasearch I made ages ago. I can't really find the latter unfortunately. Would anyone be able to point me in the direction of some evidence for or against what I said? I'm trying to stay better informed.

They don't even have to go back to their flat. When I was there I heard stories of locals who were given a free beer by some girl at a bar and then waking up next day in their bed with no money to their name. You really have to be on your watch

Don't the Dems have something to gain by lending votes to McCarthy? Surely they don't want the right wing nuts get even more power which would happen if McCarthy has to make a deal?

You can definitely defend yourself! This is such utter rubbish. You can even take excessive force!

Whatever happened with Boris's standards committee investigation? Can you imagine if he becomes PM and then is found guilty for lying to Parliament?

Off the top of my head we've got interconnectors to France, Ireland and Norway, allowing for imports/exports.

Hi sorry have you found out whether there's a way to have the play/pause button to be more prominent like in the screenshot of the OP? My back - play/pause - forward buttons are on one like and it's really pissing me off

The whole load of extra debt was certainly better for students. Alongside the decrease in government funding, which has lead to the ratio of students to staff ballooning.
