Isn't it always the way BSB, whether you lose a lot of weight or a smaller amount, you still see yourself as big
It's part of what makes it difficult to keep it off or to even start trying I suppose, and why there's an argument for these injections. I don't know, for me anyway I wanted to do it without needing injections of anything.

The investments announced were already in place, the event hasn’t brought anything in. The budget looks like it will see more money move out, in addition to which Vauxhall are considering whether to retain a manufacturing base in the UK. Titans of industry shouldn’t need to be offered anything - the UK should just have business conditions that make it THE place to invest in.

Labour would not have cancelled the Taylor Swift tour - her mother would, but why should she had had VVIP police escort when the police had assessed it as unnecessary? Starmer, Khan and Cooper‘s tickets would have been worthless so wouldn’t have needed to be declared. Did you not hear about that?

You’ve gone right off the deep end.

For a start “Coopers tickets” were both given to her husband and below the declaration amount. So weent declared because last I checked Good Morning Britain presenters don’t need to declare free tickets.

You really think we shouldn’t have spent £500k to bring in an estimated £1bn in GDP or, what?, asked Elton John and the King for a favour to try and bring in investment.

I think I’m going to stop replying to you on this topic, the election seems to have melted your brain.

Do you really believe that schmoozing a few executives at a dinner like this is really the deciding factor on them investing in the UK

I think it’s part of the process in the seventh largest economy on the planet, yeah.

You keep laundering the Tory record though.

Its just a bit of PR with an old building the King and a retired singer. Trying to make out its emblematic of crooked politicians on the take is pathetic.
I don’t think that was the “point” the posted tweet was trying to make, Quite the reverse in fact. Arguably it was the businessmen on the take.

I think a high calorie and high fat diet was normal for people who were involved in heavy manual labour work. Those jobs have gone, everyone is more sedentary now but the traditional diet has remained.

It really doesn’t take long to batch cook. Is it laziness and the desire for instant gratification plus lack of education?

Have to say, a £50 slow cooker and I'm making much healthier meals (not very fancy) but full of veg etc. Saving a fortune on lunches when at the office etc.

tbf what the ministers said was absolutely spot on so no surprise to see they've been rebuked by Starmer who has chosen to side with the billionaires over the workers
There won’t be jobs for workers if those kinds of billionaires pull investment, or worse, disinvest altogether.

The politician in question was a government minister, they need to be more diplomatic because it sends the wrong signals to business as a whole.

P&0 sacked a load of British workers and replaced them with foreign workers on slave pay

Get a timer plug as well if you haven’t. That way the cooking aspect can sort itself overnight and you come down to the week’s lunches in the morning.

I haven't tried that but have got a spare smart plug.

I just do it on home working days so it cooks while I work 😁

This Taylor Swift thing is a non story. Stoked by right wing journalists to get people like Malc wound up. Works a treat, doesn't it?

Like a puppet on a string isn’t he? No idea what he’s actually mad about but read he must be mad so mad he is. Starmer has broken so many brains.

let's concentrate on his record, which so far, is also shit.
Give him a chance. I can't deny I'm disappointed so far, but there's over four and a half years to go before the next election. The noise from the right-wing press doesn't help, but that's why they do it.

It’s their own fault for delaying the budget and having nothing to talk about really.

Interesting that inflation is now down to below target, with underlying raw materials actually deflating. The interest rate rises will be credited for addressing inflation but it is highly debatable what impact they've had if any, they have purely served to make most people worse off and reduce the amount of disposable income available to spend in the real economy.

Fuel the biggest impact I think
