    Maybe she should take a leaf out her boss’s negotiating manual and threaten to withdraw an offer that de-escalated a previous dispute.
    That just about guarantees failure.

  2. @kibcol1049 It's "too close to call" but predicted 60% Left to 30% Far Right, so has been proved to be anti-democratic. Labour needs to fix this before a General Election or we risk losing our freedom to say "No!" to fascism, without violence. Reform are already planning to take Council pensions, to invest in their dodgy friends. I don't trust the Far Right with money. Electoral Reform needs urgent cross-party co-operation. Let the record show Farage thought so too, a couple of years ago.

    #NewLabour claimed to be the party of 'joined-up thinking'. #NewerLabour has never heard of it. Now it's whatever shiny bit of policy they think will catch the voters' eyes. They treat us like idiots. To be fair, we did vote them in with a huge majority, but only because there wasn't a viable alternative.

  4. @riggbeck @kibcol1049 Many years ago, on one of the first internet philosophy discussion groups, I said the West won WW2 but lost the peace. It didn’t go down too well. The reason I said that, is I observed how quickly the West swallowed Nazi maths, tech. and science, hook line and sinker. The future, might bring about the reverse results; the Neo-Nazis’ are winning the war, but will lose the peace. The simple reason being the ultras have got too greedy for wealth and power obtained by fuelling ecocide; the many will overthrow the few. The future of their children depends on it! #FascistEcocide #SublatingNeoNaziSTEM

    There is now a blood test for prostate.
    It's literally a tick on the bloods form, which any decent GP is happy to do on over 55s.

    The days of having a free anal are sadly over.

    I did however read (albeit a while ago) that the diff between operation and no operation has no material change on survivability.

  8. ​A baby sloth was born in Scotland for the first time, and he’s named after Sir David Attenborough. “Atty” was born at the Edinburgh Zoo, and was named in honor of Attenborough’s 100th birthday and because he famously told the BBC that if he could be any animal for a day, he’d be a sloth.

  9. 'Third-party capture' is where your vehicle is damaged or you're injured in a road accident that wasn't your fault. You are approached by the other person's insurer to settle with them before you've had time to seek advice. This is allowed - a quick payment might be all you want. Personal injury solicitors say the practice can mean injury victims are not getting everything they are entitled to. You don't have to settle the claim in this way and they may not be acting in your best interests.

  10. Lloyds have launched a £5,000 deposit mortgage. The lending giant is launching the new deal for homes worth up to £300,000. The five-year fixed deal will have an LTV of up to 98%, an interest rate of 5.89% and a borrowing term of up to 40 years.

  11. The most famous self-portrait of JMW Turner, which inspired his depiction on the £20 note, is not a self-portrait at all, according to the artist’s biographer. James Hamilton says the c.1799 painting, which was likely bundled up with hundreds of Turner’s works after he died, doesn’t match the English Romantic painter’s style, and is more likely by his contemporary John Opie.

  12. Xi Jinping told Donald Trump the “Taiwan question” was critical to US-China relations and could lead to “conflict” if badly managed as the two began their high-stakes summit in Beijing. The US president described a two-hour meeting this morning as “great”, while Xi called for their countries to be “partners, not rivals”.

  13. Wes Streeting has announced his predicted resignation. Allies of the health secretary claim he “has the numbers” to mount a formal leadership challenge against Keir Starmer but add that “things have shifted” since yesterday. Angela Rayner says she has been “cleared” after paying £40,000 to settle an HMRC investigation into her tax affairs, paving the way for a potential leadership bid.
