The vocal ‘scrap the triple lock’ brigade are always very quiet about the other side of the benefits bill.It is only a phone call awayNew rules, which come into force this week, will allow benefits claimants aged 25 and over to receive PIP awards for four years after an initial assessment, and then a further six years after a review. Under the current system, claimants face reviews as often as every nine months.This news depresses me enough to claim PIP.

Not generally impressed by this stuff but Farage's dismal slander needs to be faced down.

Cancer jab can eradicate entire tumours in patients, trial shows
Jab brought ‘unprecedentedly strong responses’ in patients whose disease had become resistant to chemotherapy and immunotherapy
https://www.theguardian.com/science/2026/may/30/cancer-jab-can-eradicate-entire-tumours-in-patients-trial-shows
...In the trial, 102 patients with head and neck cancer, the world’s sixth most common cancer, were given the jab. Tumours shrank or disappeared completely in 43 patients, including 28 whose tumours shrank significantly and 15 who saw them eradicated entirely.
Researchers said the injection had also shown similar results in patients with lung cancer. Amivantamab, developed by Johnson & Johnson, is now being evaluated in about 60 clinical trials, primarily for lung cancer, but also for colorectal, brain and gastric cancers.
The smart jab targets cancer in three ways. It blocks both EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor), a protein that helps tumours grow, and MET, a pathway that cancer cells often use to escape treatment. It also helps activate the immune system to attack the tumour...

Right now the IMF are forecasting the UK fiscal position to improve from around the middle of the G7 pack to having the smallest deficit as a % of GDP in the next few years. We are the only major economy expected to significantly reduce our deficit in the years ahead.Not necessarily.No, they promise to do a lot more of it.We must stop being in hock only to the bond markets.Someone tell the fucking idiot that the electorate keeps voting for governments who spend far more than they raise in taxation, so we did vote to be in hock to the bond markets.
No one voted for the bond markets.

And the Greens promise more of the same.
Were they to crash the economy, requiring an IMF rescue, we might be forced to retrench like Greece...

Couldn’t it just be because she’s a Tory?The Kemi-hate is strong with this one.FINALLY...Kemi brags about being an Engineer!Kemi is a software engineer and systems analyst not a lawyer or PPE or Humanities graduate so I suppose she wants some more practical people like herWill they have to provide certification for cleverness, whatever that is as she palpapbly can't according to US sourcesWhat is capital C Conservatism? People have very different ideas about that.Kemi is lowering standards, ferfuxake, what a terrible idea.'Future Tory candidate selection, she said, would focus on the five C’s – cleverness, charisma, communication skills, conviction and Conservatism.
Builders as Tory MPs? I mean no wonder she keeps on getting mullered in elections.

“I will not allow people who do not share our beliefs to use the Conservative Party as a vehicle to further their personal ambitions,” she added.'
Thesedays around half the people who might be interested in Conservatism are more excited by Reform - never mind if they are conservative or Conservative.
Will she have yo evidence she has any charisma, she has none.
Will they only communicate on Twitter like her?
Will they have the conviction to deny saying she wanted to go to war with US v Iran when she definitely did, or will you need a conviction for web hacking?

She makes Truss look like Theresa
The word has connertations of the Golden Industrai era, a Golden technology age, hands dirty in oil.
But NO
"Kemi is a software engineer and systems analyst "
That is plain English (at the very low level of work experience she had is)...
"I'm sorry your Computer is not working please turn it off at the plg, count to 30 and see if it works, if it doesn't ring the IT Call Centre back and me or one of my 200 colleagues sat in this old warehouse will tell you to do the same again"
As is the misogyny.

France is producing 107% of its energy needs just with nuclear, as well as a further 8.84GW from hydro.You're referring to France's electricity needs, which will be a fraction of its energy needs.
