It's not missing Andrew, it's slightly broken. The = key sometimes acted as a - (minus) or ÷ (divide) which is obviously awkward, and it has now been loaned out to Diane Abbott.

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
Calculators, brilliant things that took the hard work out of learning how to do math at school. No longer 3 pages of calculations required, log books thrown in the bin (sine cosine), Trigonometry turned into childs play, Algebra no longer gave you migraine.
Come on admit it, you just used to input a few numbers then turn it upside down to see what word they spelt

Re: Reform UK's chronicles
There were no calculators in my day (other than the semi-mechanical ones that they had in banks and shops). In my day, it was the slide rule and log books. Using these, I could calculate (e.g.) Reform's chances of winning the next GE divided by the square root of a right angle triangle (which is also the square root of its boiling point).

My we get diverted here. Trouble is calculators could also remove the need to think about what you were doing and why. Looking at a slide rule you could see a log scale and remember that adding logs is equivalent to multiplication.

Yeah, sort of my point in a way.
Kids leaving school/university whatever with qualifications gained by the use of fingers and not the brain. Heck you don't even need to learn English because whatever you now write with has a program to check and correct errors.
Already many people are asking A1 questions to save looking for an answer themselves, and, more worryingly, believing what AI tells them . . and then those people get to vote - probably for whoever the AI suggested

Reform civil war erupts as Nigel Farage suffers 'Nicola Sturgeon moment'
Reform UK is on the brink of a civil war over the issue of transgender women in female prisons and in a particularly unflattering twist, Nigel Farage has been compared to Nicola Sturgeon. Reform has been engulfed in a trans row ever since the insurgent party's new justice adviser spoke out against a blanket ban on trans women being imprisoned in women's jails.
Vanessa Frake, a former prison governor, said on Monday that some transgender criminals should be imprisoned in women's jails. Farage's backing is understood to have dismayed some party figures leading him to face a party revolt in Scotland. Reform was then blasted by author JK Rowling over its support of housing men in women's prisons, which also goes against the recent Supreme Court ruling.
