There is a smell about this latest party affair. Johnson has obviously managed to muster some support from cabinet members and a few others. But much of it appears a reluctant sort of support. When they are contrasting providing tepid support against outright condemnation. Every single one of...

Running a Party Political Broadcast today, of all days? God, it stank. And, as always, talked about “the” NHS as if there is just one.

"I regret..." Not half as much as the rest of us.

I think it is very difficult for an individual to put their hand up and say what they saw. Remember many years ago, there was an issue about close protection officers in a car which was being driven over the speed limit. Should they intervene? And do so at the time, or raise it later? If they do...

There are many streaming devices - some of which include speakers - which can drive many HDMI devices such as monitors.

Do anything you like - lie, party, hand out contracts to your mates. Except vote to support your constituents: The Conservative party has removed the whip from Anne Marie Morris, a Devon MP, after she rebelled to back a Labour move in parliament to cut VAT on energy bills.

Over a year of hard work has paid off today. The High Court has ruled that the Government’s operation of a fast-track VIP lane for awarding lucrative PPE contracts to those with political connections was unlawful. In a challenge brought by Good Law Project and EveryDoctor to the behind closed...

Of course. But if I am chatting on a forum and the messages are individually a few hundred bytes, but are served up with possibly megabytes of advertising, who should pay for that extra load on the server-to-user leg?

On the basis that a huge proportion of the actual bytes handled by the internet are advertising, shouldn't it be those advertising who pay most? With money going towards the infrastructure (implementing and running it) rather than some of mega-commercial companies who exploit it.

Imagine being ill these days without the net! I became ill on Sunday and by Monday morning, when I had GP call back, I knew the likely diagnosis, the obvious treatment, and implications. The appointment therefore kept to the necessary - brief discussion and listing symptoms, confirmation and...

Independent is saying staff were told to clean up their phones to remove things like references to parties. If so, that is getting ever more serious - conspiring to pervert the course of justice at the minimum.

That is quite a cost. Plus perhaps £500 for the kit. And heated sufficiently to attract cats. Who pays for that electricity? There are quite a number of places where near-neighbours have good connections but they themselves have appalling speeds. (As was the case for us until fibre to the...

There is much of this county where Vodafone is unavailable. Partner moved from them when we moved down here because signal was so poor, so often. And many locations have very poor broadband over telephone wire.

I wonder how many of the 24% don't want him to go in order to enhance Labour (or other non-tory) prospects for the next GE? Should Boris Johnson resign over BYOB partygate? All adults Should 66% Should not 24%

The Met are under more pressure... Before Christmas, we wrote to the Metropolitan Police asking them to explain or reverse their refusal to investigate the unlawful parties alleged to have taken place at No 10 Downing Street in December 2020. We’ve now received the Met’s response, which...

I always found the commercial approach to internet somewhat bizarre. Where I used to live, we had a choice of NTL (now Virgin) or BT. But loads of places couldn't get either. And that pattern occurs again and again. You might have thought it would make more sense for someone to attempt to...

I think 'twas me: https://www.gridwatch.templar.co.uk/ One nuclear has closed - hence cannot achieve the 6.8 or so it had been at for some time.

Urgent question of the day: ONE URGENT QUESTION TODAY… @AngelaRayner -asking the Prime Minister if he will make a statement on reports of an event held in the Downing Street Garden on 20 May 2020

The other strand of that is the need for broadband to be physically available to all. Which does seem to have improved somewhat, but we are still not there. If we have commercial implementation of broadband, we need to apply measures to achieve, as nearly as possible, 100% coverage.

LK manages this: Tory MP Michael Fabricant appeared to defend the gathering, tweeting that meeting outdoors "would not have increased the risk of contagion" and the people invited "had worked incredibly hard on all our behalves". But Labour deputy leader Angela Rayner said: "Boris Johnson has...
