According to Vance, 14 year old girls are adults if men rape them, but 30 year old men are just boys when they glorify rape.

Vance is the very worst kind of evil.

Excuse me but, what the f*** is the point of targets to build homes that only the wealthy can afford? How does it help anyone who is not a property developer? And why does Labour care more about property developers than families? liveapp.inews.co.uk/category/398...

Leaked memo reveals Labour plan to slash affordable homes target

A requirement for developers to build affordable housing in London is set to be cut from 35% of new homes to 20%, in a move councils fear will spread across Britain

If RFK Jr really believed that we shouldn't trust experts, he should fly around in a plane built by people who did their own research

RFK Jr: We need to stop trusting the experts... Trusting the experts is not a feature of science or democracy, it's a feature of religion and totalitarianism.

Here’s the latest 'scoop' being spread by right wing gobshites on Shitter. Except:
-he’s not a teacher, he’s an assistant
-the school didn’t sack him, he works for an agency
-they stopped using him not for putting up flags but for posting racist bollocks and misinformation online.

No trade deals will replace the vast losses of Brexit. It just won't happen, and meanwhile, Brits just have to suck it up because, you know, a vote built on lies, xenophobia and misinformation must be adhered to for some reason.

Labour's Rachel Reeves thinks we're all stupid

After admitting that Brexit is costing us 4% of GDP

She suggested the UK-EU reset is mitigating that

It's not

0.13% GDP gain from UK–India deal
0.05% GDP gain from UK–US deal
0.3% GDP gain from UK–EU reset
