The Taliban will no longer allow Afghan women to see with both eyes.
They already required women to cover their entire bodies, leaving only their eyes visible underneath the burqa.
But now, even that is being restricted. Women are now only allowed to see with one eye!

I bought a Tesla because it was fast like a rocket ship. But now every time I drive it, I feel like a rolling billboard for a man dismantling our government and hurting people. So Tesla, you’re fired!
New ride coming soon.

Lots of focus today on the more eccentric ideas generated from public consultation @DHSCgovuk @wesstreeting so far....
So I spent 15 mins looking through suggestions already published...
Here are 15 ideas in no particular order worth pursuing further (in my view)...👇

Thanks for the support and helpful detective work.
For those interested in the technicalities (or in pockets and lockets), here's a quick summary of how this came to be:

Meteorologists at @NHC_Atlantic are trying to save lives before Milton hits. Heroes at @FEMA are helping Helene survivors rebuild. Government agencies are getting the word out. But the people who most need to read FEMA's "rumor response" page... are the ones who won't believe it.

Meryl Streep at the United Nations: A female cat has more freedoms than a woman in Afghanistan,
"A cat may go sit on her front stoop and feel the sun on her face," Streep said. "She may chase a squirrel into the park. A squirrel has more rights than a girl in Afghanistan."

The media in a frenzy about Sue Grays salary of £170k per year, for one of the most important jobs in the UK.
What about the CEO of British Gas, who last year took home £8.2 million, whilst all our bills rocketed? Where's the outrage there?

Emily Maitlis, "Populist parties can shape shift between the right and left.. It's not an ideology.. It's a means to achieve and retain power"
We saw this with the Conservative party in our recent election where Rishi Sunak would use words like 'surrender' if people chose to 'vote' for Keir Starmer
And we see this now in the US where a former president, Trump, trying to reelect himself as president, is telling lies about the current US vice president who is trying to be elected as president, saying that she doesn't support Christmas
Countries prosper only when politics shifts from personal enrichments towards public service

Bob Mortimer is trending. The comedy genius that is Bob Mortimer is a national treasure and should be celebrated every day. My favourite Bob moments is from taskmaster. When he had his mask on, I don't think @AlexHorne knew what to do or what to expect

As of today, this is how women must dress in Afghanistan, according to the Taliban's Supreme Leader.
The following rules are now in effect: The full face must be covered—no hands, nothing visible. The black veil was presented as a "recommendation" a year ago, now it is the law.

In 2021 I owed £61,586 on all my student loans. I am pleased to announce that 3 years later in 2024 I have managed to get that number down to...
£61,757.
Yes, after paying £300 out of my salary every month I now owe the @SLC_Repayment £200 more than I did 3 years ago.
