yeah! and speaking of which, starmer is 21 points ahead??

Labour List posted:

The polling indicates that Johnson has a negative rating of -3% in the ‘Red Wall’ and Starmer is on +18%, and it is suggested that this is partly due to confusing messaging over Covid and the Dominic Cummings trip to Barnard Castle.

hey thanks for the link bobby. the return of the lib dem voters supports the idea (from forkboy's poll) that brexit is no longer a reputational issue for labour for 95% of people. now labour need some snappy slogans to paint that blue wall red e.g. 'get boris out'

The good thing is that he ran as Adolf Uunona, Adolf isn't an uncommon or bad Black name in the former German colony (e: or, indeed, some other places, hi Touré Reed's dad), whereas "everyone in former German colony votes for guy on ballot as 'Adolf Hitler Uunona'" would be a bit uhhhh...

I don't think it's remarkable if the Tories are losing the Red Wall again, wasn't the thinking always that concerns of Brexit were a huge factor, and with that done and dusted one way or the other, most of those seats should be back in play (All else being equal)?

Also the tray within the cardboard sleeve is wrapped in an impenetrable foil with no perforations for the windows so every day you peel back the flap and then have to prime your poking finger like a karate guy before he punches through a wooden board

We had 1/366 of our annual leave entitlement deducted for each day we spent on furlough, and also the carry-over limit has been extended from 1 week to 20 days which has at the very least kicked the can down the road a bit.

I'm not an expert but I'm 99.99% sure they can't do that with furlough, talk to your union.

"forced to tuck into a Bounty" is the bar for a 'sick joke' now?

Is this how gammons feel when someone asks them to respect a pronoun, because loving hell when I think 'sick joke' I think making days 1-3 different chocolates and day 4 finger bones from a murder trial or stem cells to make a new Jimmy Savile.

Middle of just starting a gaming session with the wife and the power went out. All the sockets in the house tripped, which wasn't entirely unexpected running fridge, dishwasher, washing machine two gaming pcs and charging an ebike.

Weird thing is, it keeps tripping. I've pulled everything out of every socket and anything bigger than the router is causing it to trip again, Whatever I plug in from the above.

Bit of a sticky situation as of course its a Friday night and my wife has all her insulin in the fridge. Any ideas goons?

What type of breaker is tripping? If it's just the current breaker for the socket ring then that means something's shorted, if it's the RCD for an earth fault, something's shorted (or leaking) to earth.

You are talking absolute dogshit.

The "red wall" is sort of a stupid term but of the 12 constituencies it refers to the Labour vote share increased after Corbyn became Labour leader in every single one of them. In a few cases it was only ~2% increase but generally it was flirting with or reached double digit increases in percentage of vote share, the "red wall" were uniformly enthusiastic about Corbyns Labour and preferred it to neolib Labour.

My son has diabetes. Insulin is ok out of the fridge for 28 days so there is no immediate concern. If power keeps tripping maybe put it in an insulated container outside? It’s cold enough (maybe too cold where you are).

fwiw insulin will be fine for a while, modern analogues (which I'm sure she's using, as opposed to animal derived stuff which is super rare today) can officially last for a whole month at room temp and unofficially should be fine for a long while past that as long as it isn't exposed to extreme temps. Keeping it in the fridge is mostly a precautionary holdover from earlier varieties, which is nice to do to be extra safe if you can, but not the end of the world if you can't.

Is it just sockets or lights too?
All those things you list, presumably not overloading one single socket? Don't have more than 3kW power coming out of one socket.
Have you looked at the contact breakers to see what's popped out?
My lights in my flat in London all used to go out if a light bulb went. Most annoying.

Sorry. Got a dual RCD consumer unit. The right side with the sockets on is tripping. I've unplugged everything in the house. Anything big I plug in causes the right rcd to trip. Left one is fine. Its fine with our phone chargers plugged in. I plugged the router in and sat down on the stairs to read a guide and it suddenly tripped again.

Aaand it just did it again with just the phones plugged in.

No outside sockets that I know of. No work done recently. It's wet and windy today but it's been wet and windy since.. April.

Have you tried different sockets? (Sorry if you answered that already, I didn't see it).
