Christ that's depressing. Not sure I agree with that tbh, doesn't feel right to me. Others may feel differently.

So sad. No idea what I could have done, but if I had known before, I would have somehow tried to reach out to her. Maybe just having another friend, or someone to talk to might have somehow helped.

Obviously she will have had family and friends, but maybe she needed many more positive voices around her in her life.

I find it so sad and she was so young. A tragic loss.

Basically Thatcher

Werid thing is I am going to need a few months before I become fighting fit again so I might as well start testing out home advantage on Elo and Glicko-2 and posts the results for all to see.

I have the correct settings

All the other stuff will be up to date hopefully by next weekend.

Got a busy few weeks ahead of myself when I get back.

I'm sure everyone is wishing you the speediest of speedy recoveries

Maybe a chess comeback afterwards?

Forgot he enjoyed chess simulations.

'things go up, things go down'.

I reckon he's Hans Niemann and he had a bit of a mishap in his latest match.

Groomed is a good explanation

I agree with you

Same here, that is fucked up

how would this even work? If and when Truss is forced out don't they need another leadership election?

If they force her out this quickly it shows they can’t be trusted to choose the next prime minister and an immediate general election should be called.

I'm not an expert in tory party bylaws but surely it would be she resigns and the someone would need to be a caretaker until they can have a leadership election.

The current tory party rules mean they have to have an election to choose a new full time leader.

I seem to remember Boris remained as a caretaker until a new leader was found?

Not quite. He refused to leave until a successor was appointed.

But Starmer has no policies.

No better than the Tories.

Some good stuff there. Missing a real easy poster quote for Health and Education I think, even if the stated policies there are pretty good. Need something nice and soundbitey.

Where have you got these from?

He’s got a point about the Tombliboos. Clearly living off benefits in a council house.

He’ll be getting cancelled if he’s not careful.

fucking embarrassing, GE needed

The anti growth coalition seems to contain a lot of tories, can't see this nonsense ending well for Truss.

So who can tell me what happens if the cap on energy price's (wholesale ) is above the actual?
Let it ride or reduce it in line?

 

[skybluetony176]

That’s not fair. It’s not like she’s the deputy PM.

Wait… what? She is!

Spawning out kids like rabbits yet simultaneously avoiding any bedroom tax.

Don’t get me started on Makka Pakka. A stoner with permanent rings around his eyes and benefits cheat to boot. He could run okay when his walking frame rolled off down a hill.

Further to this unless I'm hugely mistaken the wholesale price is currently trading almost identically to this time last year.
So what about those projections?
What really happened?
Is it just the expectations of reduced consumption?
Or does just the suggestion from the various gov't's of intervention restore sanity on trader's behaviour.

He doesn't fancy another shot at being PM then
