Welp, just looked up this "whole multibuy thing" and yes, it's the most neoliberal tory thing ever. I mean, the calories you get from a Snickers are the same as the calories you get from broccoli, right? It's all calories, Jerry!

It's the same people who told us to eat out to help out last year that are telling us we should have budgeted better.

The move comes amid a wider drive led by David Canzini, the new deputy chief of staff in Number 10, to drop measures perceived as “anti-business” or “un-conservative”. That approach has led to delays in reforms to the audit industry, professional football and internet regulation.

Meanwhile, the restrictions banning adverts for unhealthy food on TV before 9pm and paid-for adverts online will be paused for a year while the government launches a fresh consultation.

FT posted:

Maggie Throup, public health minister, said pausing restrictions on cheap deals would allow the government to better understand its impact on consumers.

But Lord James Bethell, who was a Conservative health minister until last year, said the obesity strategy was critical to many of the government’s health objectives. Ditching the measures was “totally un-Conservative”, he said.

Ah, the "you're un-conservative" "no you're un-conservative" stage of the debate.

Yeah I feel bad because your fudge is lovely but we're now having to budget to the extent that I just can't justify any fudge but cheap £1 shite from the co-op. This is no slight on you because your fudge is absolutely worth it, we're just really having to cut back on everything.

E: Makes me wonder why more companies that rely on the public having enough money to consume their poo poo don't start pointing any of this out. Like yes ultimately corporations evil, line must go up, but has nobody at any multinational twigged that the public getting hammered like this means nobody buying their products?

Imagine having such little actual work that you can do it on a tablet, and then spend the rest of the day looking in the fridge for cheese.

There was something the other day where the CEO of Iceland was asked if he they were worried about losing customers to Aldi, and they apparently replied that they were losing more customers to foodbanks.

Only two contestants left! Here is Doom's chance for revenge...

Did you really want to win the Eurovision in the year where one of the entrants was literally fighting to prevent their people from being the victimes of genocide?

It is, as the kids say, not a good look.

It would be the most in keeping with the general theme of the UK, tbh.

I was taking Ukraine winning as a given and being in the top 2 for most of the broadcast was errant and perverse.

Only Spain had the courage to show that much arse and energetic thrusting on stage and to be honest I reckon they was robbed. The UK entry was genuinely pretty good though, first time in a long while it hasn't been something extremely bad and embarrassing. Obviously Ukraine were going to get it but it was still a bit heartwarming so see them just get a million points from the public vote.

If every country gave you 12 points, you would get 468 points from the public vote. Ukraine got 436.

The only Eurovision tune I've heard this year was the Norwegian silliness. And that was mostly the dancing team team song itself, which was instantly forgettable.

I haven't watched Eurovision since Izah Kohen and the Alphabetas won singing Ah Bahnee Bee in 1978.
I was working in a hotel in Germany at the time.
First time I watched it, Abba won with Waterloo.

Jacob Rees-Mogg is off-message, everyone is meant to be retraining for a job in Cyber.

As someone who literally has 'worked in cyber' aka for an antivirus company, it's always so weird and retro whenever government people or w/e talk about 'cyber'.

That meant something different back in the actual 90s, mind ;p
