Not sure how to change it, but I think I know why.

When you lock, the time until the screen turns off goes right down to a couple of seconds - you can stop this by wiggling you mouse or pressing a button like normal. This is different to sleep where it uses very little power and the state is moved to memory - background process will still be running when the screen is off.

You may be able to adjust this in the GUI by changing when the screen goes off in settings, but I have not tested.

I got interested myself and did a quick search, but it doesn't seem like Riot have live stats unfortunately. I would expect League of Legends to have more players, but I don't think it would be that huge, especially considering how popular Dota is in non-western countries.

I also find it funny how if you search something like "dota vs lol player count", most of the spammy sites just compare the number you gave or even worse comparing Dota's 1m peak concurrent per month vs League's 150m total a month.

There also seems to be a disparity in the number of accounts that most players have per game (smurfs) making this probably not worth the time to research!

Is that daily player count concurrent or total for the day? If it is the first, I don't think these figures are comparable.

Nah the BLM protests that Farage mentioned. Not too sure which specific ones he is chattin about, but the George Floyd protests would have been her in 2020.

Wasn't she Home Secretary during these protests? If so, it sounds like she is just defending her own track record.

I wonder whether this is the reason Sunak called the election early - try and avoid the problems catching up while still in power.

Considering their progressive stance towards hiring prisoners and providing them skills, I am personally quite happy with the appointment.

Their last two Labour MPs not only were kicked out in scandal, but also ran in this election splitting the vote. It looks like the Lib Dems also got a significant vote share which has helped the Tories.

I believe most of those are mayors in their official garb.

Still had them in 2019 in North Wales. They served the cider with squash to make them a bit more tolerable :D

Yes I agree, rejoining the EU seems to come up quite high in opinion polls when that is the sole question, but the parties that are supporting this are not.

Apart from FPTP, I reckon another factor is that people are just sick of hearing about Brexit. It has been in the news cycle continuously for years. I don't think it is enough of an issue to be a vote winner compared to Lab/Con focusing on generically growing the economy and talking about migrants etc. I just think back to that clip of Brenda from Bristol after news of the Theresa May snap election and reckon that is where most people are at in terms of Brexit.

I think this is down to FPTP really.

I would love to vote Plaid or Green, but I would rather prevent the climate change-denying, homophobic, racist Tory from keeping his safe seat by voting Labour.
