Strange. Works for me running Ubuntu on two different laptops. 🤷

Then when it updated it deleted all my toolbars whyyyyyy.

Deleted your toolbars? Maybe raise a bug about that in the Firefox bug tracker.

If you mean tabs then there's a setting to keep tabs are a restart. Makes restarting less of an issue. I have about 60 tabs open at any one time and haven't lost one in years over multiple restarts and upgrades.

Agree with that. And sadly those parties play to their extremes to win those majorities. And double sadness is that their extremes are a majority anti EU (when put together) 😔.

Yes because sadly like the Tories, Labour are just chasing power and votes and don't want to upset a majority in their voter base. Otherwise they'd have policies like the Greens and Lib Dems.

The primary internal opposition to a full-blown youth mobility scheme is coming from Starmer’s top interior minister Yvette Cooper.

Wut 😒... Yvette Cooper? The fuck?

I wonder what Zelensky must feel about seeing both the UK and US jump into defence of Israel so readily yet basically tell his countrymen to die so that they can provide a buffer zone from Moscow. I guess the only thing worse than being Ukrainian is being Palestinian.

Tories means the members of the party.

What is your view on the Tory MPs given this definition?

The Tories elected truss as their leader. And that was the last time Tories elected a leader for their party?

Because I thought Sunak fit that bill 🤷.

Wasn't Truss selected by the members and not the MPs? Hence the collosal fuck up that as her premiership?

As far as I remember the Tories selected Cameron, and he won two elections, May and she won one election, Boris and he won one election, Truss and she crashed the economy but didn't win or lose an election, Sunak but he lost an election. Their method of selection changed a little but it's been that way for many many years.

The Tories last elected leader, everyone.

Rishi Sunak or Boris Johnson depending on your definitions.

Nothing I would disagree with. Sound thinking and a well written piece. However, this needs to be published in the Telegraph, Daily Mail, Mirror, and the Sun rather than the guardian for it to do any good and change attitudes. Next the guardian will be telling us that champagne tastes nice 😊.

Saw this guy and the cat Bob during their rise to fame. Pre book, pre film. Utter cunt. Very aggressive with people and literally told my friend she couldn't look at the cat without a donation.

What a waste of an opportunity he was given.

Sir Keir Starmer has defended accepting accommodation from Labour donor Lord Waheed Alli during the general election, saying it was important his son had a peaceful place to study.

The prime minister told the BBC he had promised his 16-year-old son that he would be able to get to school and do his exams without being disturbed.

He declared Lord Alli had donated several weeks' accommodation, which is recorded as being worth more than £20,000, in the register of MPs' interests.

Sir Keir told BBC Radio 5 Live: "I had promised him faithfully that I would give him an environment in which he could calmly get on, his one chance to do his GCSEs, and therefore we relocated somewhere else - a gift which we then allocated a sum of money to."

I mean.... if you've got friends in high places then why wouldn't you gift £20k (pretty close to a year's salary for some) so that their son can revise? What's wrong with the library? Or their school?

How many winter fuel allowances would that cover? 😂

Sounds like a three way mexican stand off between the US, the UK, and the EU. First one to adopt the rules weakens their competitive advantage.
