People are trying to describe what it is like to be depressed. You want to make it about you. Depressing.

The European government is getting into industry specifics. These people are communists.
Good meeting with John Elkann of @Stellantis & @Ferrari.
The growth of the electric vehicle market is a promising sign.
But the geopolitical context remains difficult. So there can be no business as usual.
We have an action plan for the car industry.
From a €1.8bn Battery booster package to a plan for affordable EVs, to cut costs and boost production in Europe.

@Lebona_cabonena, see, it is not just a South African thing. Comrades the world over are feasting.
This is Ed’s Climate change envoy, Rachel Kyte. Not only do tax payers fund her non job salary of £130,000 …
But we’re also funding her jaunts around the world.
She’s travelled over 75,000 air miles since September, costing taxpayers almost £40,000!
Shh… she’s saving the planet 🤡

@ConCaracal it's not just SA. This is happening all over the world. It's how the socialists stay in power.
UK - More than half of the UK population is getting MORE from the state than contributes to the state.
Unsustainable and catastrophic.

So we have Rachel from accounts and Kemi from UAT
I'm a software engineer with 25+ years of commercial web based application development. Here's my take on what Kemi claimed. I'm not a Reform supporter, but this is something I know a lot about, so I'll weigh in:
1) The frontend code, the bit that gets delivered to the user's web browser, can be viewed easily in a web browser, or using the inbuilt developer tools. This shows there is no manipulation of the figures on the frontend.
2) The frontend code is calling an API, something frontend code can call to update itself in realtime without refreshing the page. Again this can be seen in the web browser developer tools . That API endpoint is located at pro-worker.reformparty.uk/ti…. This endpoint simply returns the membership counter
3) The backend code, that which runs directly on the server, and the user never sees directly, is performing some work to return that membership number. Could that number be faked, yes. Is it faked, probably not, as this API is hosted by NationBuilder and seems to correlate with the screen captures taken by Reform.
4) What I think someone in Kemi's team has done, is accidentally mistake a bit of JavaScript code that animates a counter from 0 to the number that the API returns. When you view reform's counter page at reformparty.uk/counter you see the counter animate up to the retrieved number on every page refresh. Could it be they've mistaken this JavaScript code for manipulation.
Either way Kemi's claim is tenuous at best, there's definitely no publicly visible manipulation going on, so either she's wrong or she's got access to their backend systems.
