Inflation
Labour’s deputy leader Angela Rayner said: “In October, the Prime Minister said that fears about inflation were unfounded… So, how did he get it so wrong?”

Mr Johnson replied that he had “of course” said “no such thing”.

This is not true. During an interview with Sky News on 5 October 2021, the Prime Minister said: “People have been worrying about inflation for a very long time. I’m looking at robust economic growth, and by the way those fears have been unfounded.”

Warm homes
Mr Johnson also twice claimed that the Warm Home Discount supports households with a £140-per-week reduction on their energy bill. This is not true. The Warm Home Discount Scheme offers some low-income households a one-off discount of £140 directly on their energy bill between October and March. This means the discount is worth £140 over an entire winter—not every week.

Economic inequality
Mr Johnson claimed economic inequality is falling. However, the data available shows a more complex picture.

The latest (pre-pandemic) official figures show it was rising or broadly stable. Recent analysis suggests it fell during the pandemic but is rising again following the removal of income support.

Full Fact has contacted Number 10 for comment about these claims. We’re still waiting on a response.

"3 months to drill a mile"
Yeah I see your point

"Petra, founded by serial entrepreneur Kim Abrams, says it's demonstrated the robot's capabilities by boring a 24-inch tunnel through 20 feet of Sioux Quartzite – which Abrams describes in a CNBC interview as "the hardest rock on earth ... harder than bluestone granite ... the type of rock that would normally have to be dynamited." Swifty progressed at a rate of an inch a minute."

Brilliant TEC but at 1" a minute it's rather slow

Imagine being the Prime Minister of a country where thousands of people sleep rough every night and have to use food banks to survive but you think it’s OK to message your wealthy mate for funds because according to you the Number 10 flat is “a tip”.

A half decent RNS and the price could triple, as it's gone so low.
Best to jump in PRONTO if/when that happens.
Coz without any decent news it could be drifting down for another 2 yrs.

GM noted it will be the first company to use Qualcomm's Snapdragon Ride Platform for advanced driver assistance technology. The carmaker stressed that the new Ultra Cruise's compute, which is the size of two laptops, will be available from 2023 on vehicles including fully-electric Cadillac CELESTIQ.
"Despite its relatively small size, Ultra Cruise’s compute will have the processing capability of several hundred personal computers," Ken Morris, GM vice president of Electric, Autonomous and Fuel Cell Vehicle Programs, stated.

You can wrap yourself in UK flags, sing the national anthem 5 times a day, have pictures of the queen in every room, use crown stamped pint glasses and Brexit tea towels… but real patriotism comes from being a country people admire, not one misgoverned by nationalistic bell ends.
