Still doesn't seem to be public what he did. And whatever it was might have had a profound and serious effect on one or a few individuals. But it is quite likely that the worst misconduct has been that of the PM, cabinet and tory MPs.

Anyone with even one brain cell will have been wondering if and when this would happen: Key bridge linking Crimea to Russia hit by huge explosion Images show burning train carriages and collapsed road sections on the Kerch bridge, a key supply route for Russian troops opened by Vladimir Putin...

What next for Liz Truss? Three possible scenarios for her premiership Aubrey Allegretti PM has clung on after a tumultuous start in No 10. We assess her chances of leading the Tories into the next election...

Just keeps flowing... And while talking abour Chris Bryant's views: Labour MP calls for Paul Dacre peerage to be delayed Chris Bryant questions timing while Daily Mail publisher faces legal action over alleged privacy breaches

Always remembering that switching off zones, then switching them back on three hours later, will pretty much always increase the unsmoothness! After all, every single thermostatically controlled device, which might usually click in for only a few percent of the time, will most likely cut in...

Does anyone think that Truss is, or could ever be, the right PM in the context of a war continuing with nuclear threats (whether they are real or just bluster)? I wonder if our government has even taken the first steps to distributing appropriate iodine-based tablets? Whereas it appears...

One of my friends got a colour TV in the very early days - when they didn't need a stand, they sat on the floor - and the cabinet was actually full, not just space. They needed a 13A fuse in their plugs. Something like this (and it was a Baird from RR): And almost nothing was broadcast in...

Few trash tories as well as tories: https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/business/ex-tory-party-chairman-lambasts-liz-truss-and-kwasi-kwarteng-over-unconservative-mini-budget-3870341 (It is the thought that saying these things doesn't come naturally to them. That makes them all the more potent.)

Their reasons for following are likely also very different. I suspect few follow Truss for any level of enjoyment, fun, relief, etc. The big question is whether the majority of her followers are in any way supporters, or simply the rest of us in anticipation of a super gigantische Dosis von...

I do remember the 1970s cuts. At school, we ran a very long extension cable from the headmaster's house, which was on the other side of a road, and in the next zone. When a cut was scheduled, the entire school went to the main hall and we watched a film. (It required a variable step-up...

And why we have allowed unswitched socket outlets, I've never understood. The idea of physically unplugging each night, or each usage, is poor. Plugs, especially in the days when many were held together by screws, and had screw terminals, often became loose. Simply flicking the switch is just...

Peak lopping is not the same as usage reduction. I keep seeing claims that three hour cuts will reduce absolute usage. Not just time shift it. Plus, if solar is producing, we actually want a demand peak, just earlier. (Probably either side of noon.) If wind is producing, we actually want a...

How much energy usage reduction will rolling three-hour electricity cuts actually achieve? I can see people ramping up room temperatures before the scheduled cuts (even if the heating itself is gas). And again when power is restored. And much of the rest its impact being displacement of usage...

Not just you and me: Liz Truss: No one voted for this. Rip up your plans or call a General Election. https://act.38degrees.org.uk/act/rip-it-up-or-let-us-vote Call an immediate general election to end the chaos of the current government https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/619781...

Confirmed incompetence of the highest order: Bank confirms pension funds almost collapsed amid market meltdown Official explains how promise to buy up to £65bn of government debt staved off destructive UK financial spiral

Our latest Red Wall poll finds Labour leading the Conservatives by 38%, a staggering twenty-three points more than in our previous poll two weeks ago, and the largest lead ever achieved by any party in our Red Wall polling. Altogether, the results of our poll (with changes from 19-20 September)...

I see people claiming to be working their way to the root cause of their thyroid issues. Truth is, the process of root cause analysis is all too often one of being persuaded to buy product after product in a never ending wild goose chase. It is sometimes suggested one form of thyroid disease...

Remember, at the bottom of the rabbit hole is an entire wonderland of craziness.

It's the serpent wot dun it.

Just saw that and scan read. Astonishingly awful. First, for the country. Second, and deservedly, for the tories.
