Question from the new Rishi Sunak maths syllabus: if 13 years of Tory government knocks 20% off your real income and 40% off your pension, puts £500 a month on your mortgage and lands you with a £2000 gas bill, should you vote Tory at the next general election?

Please watch this movie trailer through to the very end so that you can experience the greatest title reveal of all time. Watching this in a theater made me lose my mind.

The whole Suella Braverman thing is mortifying but tofu is such a hack reference. Chronologically, the evil Guardian foods go quiche, lentils, hummus, yogurt THEN tofu, then lattes, avocados, kale and quinoa and now we're years deep into jackfruit, kimchi and natural wine.

I have been thinking. Maybe the collapse of Truss's voodoo budget is even more important than people realise? "But it is huge!", you cry, "biggest story since the fall of Boris!" Yup - I think it may be bigger than that. Way bigger. Here is what I am thinking... 1/

Honest Government Ad | UK

The UK Government has made an ad about the spiralling cost of living crisis, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative.

A light, quick, cheap solution so good, it should be copied the world over: The fietsvlonder (bike platform) temporarily swaps one car parking space for 10 bikes. If deemed a success, the curb is permanently adjusted and it is moved to the next location. fastcompany.com/90780018/dut…
