Annaliese Dodds went on TV yesterday and the only point she kind of made was that it's rude of Rishi to put up corporation taxes because he might be able to lower them again before an election and that's not fair lol

"Fishing expedition" is judicial speak for "You got nothing! Get that weak-rear end poo poo out of my courtroom!"

I've honestly lost track of the cesspit of backstabbing claim and counter-claim. You'd think Starmer with his legal background would have spent the past year smoothing stuff over and putting these cases to bed rather than leaving them to fester like this.

No charisma, no presence, no ideas, no ability to read the mood of the electorate, just nothing. Of course, she attended the same school as Michael Gove (Robert Gordon College in Aberdeen), love that meritocracy.

She's giving a speech on the economy right now. I'm sure it'll be suitably vacuous and inadequate.

The Irony being that the other fee paying schools in Aberdeen hold Robert Jordan's in contempt, and the University doubly so regarding the jumped up technical college.

Fucks same, I'm trying to buy a $30 3D printed case for an analogue to HDMI converter from the US, but the company that makes them stopped shipping to the UK as HMRC haven't processed their application for a VAT ID and won't respond to queries about it either. Anyone know a decent UK company that'll do a smallish 3D print job without charging a ridiculous amount please?

Love this section of her Wiki page that paints her as a highly principled individual "During the 2019 general election campaign, she argued in support of Labour's plans to increase corporation tax, because she believes "those with the broadest shoulders" should contribute more."
