Almost… yeast is also an ingredient.

‘People’ must be very unhappy with the increase per household, afforded by the NZ-UK FTA… and the AU & JP deals aren’t that much better, if people are sniffy at ~£50-£100 per annum benefits from Betty’s deals — or whoever it was who secured them.

given that the savings conferred by the removal of VAT, are worth three times the amount of the increase per household, arising from the FTA with the Kiwis. I bet #SemiBadenough and the unfortunate Mel Stride still have a whine, though. 😏

You've been murdered. Who do you want on the case.

I guess there is one advantage to this warm weather… it certainly helps the bread rise. As for the CO2 emissions constrained in the second image ⬇️… sorry that's my bad. 😬

A gold dunny.

Hmm… here's some of the UKG data on that demand:

Eh…what…pardon? If Harry Kane is/was the captain of the England team playing Argentina, shouldn't he know the reason why England failed to achieve the things he highlighted. It was up to him, to chivvy up his team mates. FFS! 🤦‍♂️

I wish journalists would do their jobs properly. Why tf didn't this one, reporting for LBC News, ask the herbert to whom she was speaking, what he meant by: "The establishment is stitching him up…". Were anybody to ask people like him, to define 'the establishment'… they wouldn't have a clue. 🙄

After being cattle-trucked by Microsoft, which gave me less than a month's notice of its intention no longer to support my 2013 Macbook for Office 365 (after 13 July); I am unable to rationalise my order today (06 July), for a new laptop, with an *express delivery*,scheduled for 21-28 July 2026. 🤔

Well that was an interesting encounter, yesterday. The little #NotMyCat ⬇️ has been visiting us everyday since Oct 2023 & has shown signs of stress bcs of repeatedly over-grooming/biting various parts of himself. Twice, I've reported the case to RSPCA since 2024, but despite two visits to the owners…

This is my lingering memory of that herbert

While I can understand the reluctance of the media to hold its 'boy' to account, for the life of me, I cannot understand why tf the Ethics & Integrity Commission isn't all over that odious motherfucker like a rash. Has it been decommissioned or something?

Finally, 'Turk town' getting into the headlines.

If you want to know the answer, you need to check with @news.sky.com, because it provides "The full story, first"… and that's official - even if the lastest story about RefUK is now 27 days old. Btw, good luck finding any such story on its website… it doesn't provide a search function.

Good to see that Business & Trade Secretary Peter Kyle celebrated the benefits of the NZ-UK FTA. Some benefits to UK less obvious from pure trade data, but at least some savings have been made UK consumers by tariff reduction/removal. The full report is at: www.mfat.govt.nz/assets/Trade... #Brexit

Why tf did Anna Botting on @news.sky.com refer to this as a 'fantastic selfie'? 1. The main picture was taken by a photographer which clearly shows Burnham taking a photo on a mobile phone, but 2. How the hell does Botting know how that cell-phone image came out? …1/

This is a long-winded way to write "I can't muster 80 supporters to mount a challenge in any leadership contest."

It continues to be fucking weird that @news.sky.com claims to provide "The full story, first", yet the most recent mention of the travails of RefUK is from 26 days ago as of the time of writing this. "The full story, first"… yeah, OK. 🙄

Do these comics not employ any hacks with even a modicum of economic acuity… especially given the recent discourse about how the MOD will be funded? I guess the UKG could always encourage more FDI to cover the £18bn (or whatever it is) shortage, for which other ministries are being squeezed. 🙄

What little credibilty Farage had, has been completely eroded by his demand for a recount in the Makerfield by-election.

At least this time, the 🍊shit-gibbon wasn't claiming that cadavers were walking around, unlike a few months ago.

Meh! UK population is like the proverbial 'pigs in shit'… just look at all those benefits. Really well worth getting rid of so many safeguards (regulations) to enjoy such prosperity. /s

I just heard Mark Stone of @news.sky.com report from Washington, that Republicans are being told to tell the Septics that they should all feel so much better off, as a result of the 'deal' (MOU) that's been signed. I could have sworn the 🍊 shit-gibbon said the US hardly used Gulf energy commodities

When all those herberts start crowing about "we must slash welfare spend to fund defence", this Gov/ONS document illustrates why that's not so easy to do and why department ministers can be resistant to having their budgets cut. Of 13 dep'ts, where should the cuts be made? #Defence #Welfare

Nothing like 'Change' or 'Transparency' under Starmer. /s

That's all correct, but Labour hamstrung itself in its 2024 manifesto, by pledging not to raise personal taxes and other red lines that put the kibosh on growth. I wrote about this yesterday, prompted by Tobias Ellwood's remarks on @news.sky.com bsky.app/profile/squi...

By way of an addendum, I compared the Treasury TES for the MOD against GDP for the fiscal periods 2002-2025, to see how the different governments budgeted. The glaring observation is the amount by which Conservatives cut defence spending, given NATO commitments Anything to say Tobias Ellwood?

• If support for UA is ignored, (i.e. period 2010-2021/22 outturn) the Defence budget declined significantly, judging by the slope of the trendline falling to y=0.708x from y=1.3653x. It was a bit rich of Ellwood to reel off a list of shortcomings, without acknowledging the role the Tories played.

As @buchanan101.bsky.social pointed out, I should have written stabbed and killed or murdered.
