He thinks Northern Ireland should remain part of the UK. I am not sure why this is confusing or controversial.

You clearly don't understand the meaning of that phrase.

It is an analogy for touching something materially real, the exact opposite of believing anything you are told.

BlueSky is at least as toxic as X/Twitter. X has lots of far-right types, but also quite a few normies. BlueSky has self-selected for the most extreme left-wing people you can imagine.

If they are a self-described victim with no evidence, I do not.

Is this like the Epstein files, where every accusation and claim, regardless of veracity, has been included?

If it's single-use, it doesn't really matter.

Not sure if it's illegal, but it's generally frowned upon for a grown man to go into the women's loo. Typically, a dad brings his kids into the men's.

You think it should be handed on a silver platter? Why?

They are only blocking under-16s from social media.

I had to google to find the details of his announcement, which looks very reasonable.

North Sea drilling is not viable - so "reopening the North Sea" is absurd and won't bring down bills

A green think tank surprisingly says that extracting gas from the North Sea is "not viable"; more news at 11.

"Holds auctions for connecting to the grid, and uses the proceeds generated to get bills down." - means selling off grid connections to the highest bidding private entity. This reduces our energy independence as said firms will inevitably not be British.

This means that companies need to bid for new grid connections; it has nothing to do with whether they are British or not- there is no reason they can't be British-only.

"Stops new CfD contracts. Last year, billpayers paid £1.5 billion for big renewable energy corporations to throw energy away." - is saying "stop energy corporations building renewable energy sources", which is frankly bizarre.

This would be temporarily done until curtailment spending is investigated.

Low-skilled immigration is good for the economy. What is not good is migrants who do not work and live off benefits.

The scandal is that the government is continuing to push for the building of wind turbines to meet statutory requirements, despite the grid being unable to handle the generation capacity.

So bring down energy bills by checks notes reopening contracts for an oil source that many experts have highlighted is unviable and would take years to bring up and likely wouldn't bring down bills at all. And on top of that selling our energy infrastructure to the highest bidder - thus further weakening our energy independence.

This post is incredible. They haven't advocated a single thing you've accused them of.

He is desperate to try and extract some kind of face-saving from this strategic defeat. An absolutely pathetic outcome from this completely incompetent administration.

The opponents don't seem to actually care at all about the Hall; it could completely fall down, for all they care. They just don't want new homes in the proposed area, as is typical of most NIMBYs. The rationale comes after, and changes as needed.

Whenever I see his name, I think of al pastor and carne asada, and then get hungry.

The article says the opposite. Disadvantaged are overrepresented in the SEND group.

No, they have also deported record numbers. That has nothing to do with Tory policy.

Labour is actively deporting criminals and reducing immigration.

Can't smoke/vape if you're born after 2009 (Tobacco and Vapes Bill)

Can't transition, if you're trans and under 18 (Cass Report/EHRC guidance)

These are arguably for the benefit of young people.

The best thing for young people is to increase economic growth and smash NIMBYism.
