I thought shared parental leave was a legal minimum? For the uninitiated, that’s where some or all the maternity leave can be given to the paternal parent, meaning there isn’t an inequality.

If they are campaigning for more for both parents, I’m not sure I am on the same page. I can see how this would make me unpopular though.

Having lived in a 20 zone, I can say this is pretty much pointless without enforcement - which sadly isn’t going to happen. Perhaps in a few decades attitudes will shift.

Tried to steamroll through new economic policy that was plain stupid, which the bank of England had to intervene on to stop peoples pensions going broke. This resulted in a huge spike in interest rates that thousands of people are still affected by today. There is much more to it, but thats the short story. Fuck this woman, she should be in prison not flogging books.

She left the stage because of a banner saying she crashed the economy.

She left number 10…because she crashed the economy.

Get fucked Truss.

Took me awhile to adjust as I was used to the .cum UI, but it really is great.

Wasn’t there an allegation awhile ago for this guy being a nonce?

I don’t expect to reach retirement age as it will keep increasing. If I do make it that far, I expect having to work so long to get there that I will be pretty much a husk of a human.

That isn’t to say I’m not paying into one, but I probably am in the ‘not adequately saving’ group because I want to enjoy the time I have now as best I can.

The future is terrifying and causes a lot of anxiety…

Edit: also wasn’t the state pension supposed to cover a basic retirement!? Fuck.

I hate her so much. Looking forward to watching her eat a severed dick on I’m a celebrity to try and stay relevant.

Interestingly, Labour have less of the vote (proportionaly) than when Corbyn was at the helm.

Possibly, I think it might actually involve a lot of volunteers.

Top hat wanker! Truss lost too, this is amazing.

Rise and shine.

Reform only on 4 instead of ~17 from the exit poll and the greens got 4 seats instead of 2! Happy days.

I would be a bit worried about proportional representation for parties like reform as they seem to have come second in a larger number of constituencies.

This is as late as I can stand. I’ll check back in the morning for the final scores. If it was anything resembling a closer election I might have stayed up. I’m hoping the exit poll has over estimated the tories and reform, with a few extra opposition parties.

We’ve had a shit time, but you can always turn things around.

That’s a fair take, and yes it was Mandelson.

I’m watching the BBC program, currently just discussing the exit poll before any official results.

Exit poll shows conservatives losing 241 seats, Labour landslide predicted with 410 seats. Not a huge surprise, but a welcome start.

I did find it entertaining that the labour guest in the show is congratulating Kier Starmer and Co. On a job well done, when really this is almost entirely caused by Tory self destruction.

Wow. He’s got my vote!

There are too many stupid people who believe everything he says. More milkshakes please.

Pro Tip: Don’t be a cunt. Perhaps my wording was ambiguous, I am aware of the reason for the protest and the content of the article, my point is that the politicians have not commented on the reasons and deflected the topic to the protest itself.
