Because we have FPTP and this will further split the left vote and let Reform / Tories in.

Our number one priority should be to kill FPTP and make it so we don't have governments only a minority of the voters wanted.

We know a Corbyn Labour party scares people to vote against Labour. He has a ceiling. There is a lot of country that subscribes to his views, but not enough to do more than strip those votes from Lab/Lib/SNP/Green/Plaid.

Reform are worse than Tories and I fear if they ever get power, they do a Trump. Damage the country and be hard to remove.

They just got a motivation.

Yes plan law makers needs to have a clue on what they are making laws about. Teenagers looking for porn are going to learn.

We should be matching tariffs.

A lot of the problem is the way electricity is priced, based on the most expensive unit, gas.

It's hard in Europe as everything is constrained by pre-existing buildings. There just isn't the space to expand many roads without knocking stuff down that has been there hundreds of years. In the cities and towns, it's buildings, in the country it is stone walls.

Though I would also road tax the bloody things extra.

Politicians can nothing, the roads are as wide as they can be already, being the hundreds of years of history. Better off just pedestrianizing them.

They will have higher running costs for their social statement. Hopefully that causes a correction. Especially as fuel costs vs electricity costs get worse.

But who is going to buy one? Be a nightmare in many European cities and towns, just too big for places built for horse and carriage. They just drink fuel, so are expensive to run. Plus, everyone will think/know you are a knob head.

Single standard, but multiple implementations.

Fair enough. Far too many MPs did vote for Truss, even if a majority didn't. Plus, they did vote for Boris.

Private health companies often use the same facilities and stuff as public health. It ends up basically paying to jump the queue. Also the private health companies take the low risk, glamorous stuff and leave the complex, high risk, unglamorous stuff to public health.

Tory MPs backed Rishi not Truss. It was the membership that backed batshit.

Boris, both MPs and membership backed. Which right in terms of election winning, but terrible for the country. Though I still hold more votes in the general election where anti-Corybn than pro-Boris.

Classic podcast on why printers are terrible. Planet Money with none other that digital freedom fighter and SciFi author, Cory Doctorow.

Being that post war Britain has defined itself as Britain's greatest hour was defeating the Nazis, this isn't a wise thing to say.

This is a weak point of the British Far Right. They can't wrap themselves up in the Union Jack and claim to honour Churchill, while actually being Nazis. It's a weakness of us those opposed to the far right need to be pointing to a lot more.

Solution for butter at least : https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news/butter-carbon-bill-gates-batavia-illinois/

This could be great, but "proprietary". Gates is still the same Gates. If you want to save all the land and CO2 this could, release the IP free to all. Flood the market with cheap indistinguishable synobutter, real butter can't compete with. Milk, cheese and yogurt next please.

One of the Russian's proxy groups?

The north wasn't set to join up the Northern cities. Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, New Castle all needs better connection. Going by rail East/West is terrible. Birmingham to London wasn't even going to be much faster.
