>It's Clacton, farage chose it for a reason. It's full of retirees and Brexit voters

I used to live in that constituency. The 'great' thing about the first past the post system is you get a MP representative of that constituency. I dont like it, but Farage increased the votes he received.

However, it can be a shrinking island. People laughing at him and Count Binface, may put some of the floating voters across the country off him.

>The UK has no constitutional method to remove a PM. I not sure this is correct, a vote of confidence in Parliament. Will bring down the government. Hence the PM.

The power of having a parliamentary system. Combined with the power of 77,462 residents of Makerfield.

Love the UK - we can be brutal if MPs want a leader .

Yep - the way to get adoption, whilst the bar is too high for self-driving cars, the bar should be safer than the average person. An old greying socialist - saying that capitalism drive the right outcomes. Same with low-carbon, insurance will help with climate change mitigation.

I hacked together a HDMI e-ink monitor https://barwap.com/projects/okmonitor/

I wanted an e-ink screen I could just plug-in. Versatile, big and cheap. Connection is via a VGA or HDMI. Works like an appliance. All automated. Wireless.

Specifications: 1024x768, 6fps, lag: ~1.2s, Connection: VGA or HDMI Specifications Single Screen: 1024x768, 5fps, lag: ~1.2s, Connection: VGA or HDMI

>privilege of having pre-school aged children, that's my opinion,

Look at salary sacrifice. This give you the option of buying childcare vouchers before tax. So taking you below the 100,000. Otherwise pay more into pension and drop below the 100,000 threshold.

Not tax advice, not financial advice...

So if I torrented and seeded, I would be doing it for my own entertainment, not commercially. I expect big copy-write holders to come after myself. If Meta does it - I guess they have better lawyers ?

Could make interesting case law.

First reading, there are lots of stage before the bill is passed.

It look like Parliament, via private members bill working at its best.

Lots of debate, lots of people listening to the debate and then voting.

Any facts to back up this assumption ?

"TfL said the amount refunded equated to less than 0.001% of annual fare £3bn revenue collected via pay as you go with contactless."
