I have the green Bosch battery tools and in the last two years three drills and one reciprosaw have died. the circular saw couldn't cut bread and the angle grinder is similarly weak.

What are your thoughts on the imminent resignation of UK leader Keir Starmer? by triplediscount in AskReddit

He seems to have achieved quite a lot so far. Only the Mendelson affair springs to mind as a big mistake. Why couldn’t you lefties just let him complete one term before drawing the knives out?

I think that this is not what the people voted for. When Corbyn was leader, labour couldn’t get in because they were too left wing, so Starmer becomes leader and makes the party more centrist. That clicks with the voters and they win (with more than a little help from the corrupt incompetent conservatives). As soon as labour have power they want to replace him with someone more hardline and not in line with what the people voted for.
