Isn't it funny how the phrase 'common sense' is synonymous with far-right viewpoints wherever it's used?

Nah, she's thick and corrupt enough for a Reform shoe-in.

Whoever would have guessed that this coke-addled Conservative Cnut was so corrupt?

No.10 showing it's got its finger right on the pulse again.

It's a wonder how they could possibly be as out-of-touch as the Tories so quickly, but they seem have managed it. Right royally as well, ironically.

MPs will not be given time in the House of Commons to discuss Prince Andrew's conduct because the royal family wants Parliament to focus on "important issues", Downing Street said

Royals want MPs to focus on ‘important issues’ not Prince Andrew, No 10 says

Downing Street said the Government would not allocate time for a Commons debate on Andrew’s conduct or his living arrangements.

Another arrogant far-right prick Space Karen's Hate Site used to promote on my timeline way back in the day when I had an account there.

Yet another unpleasant grifter I don't miss.

Breaking - Five grooming gang survivors tell PM they will stay on panel only if Jess Phillips REMAINS in post.

They say Phillips has “devoted her life to hearing and amplifying the voices of women and girls who would have otherwise been unheard”.

We need to rewild 30% of the planet to restore nature & protect our wildlife, but Britain is falling behind. So I've signed this new petition calling on one of our biggest landowners - the Church of England - to rewild its land. Join me? you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/pr...

Help save nature by rewilding the Church’s massive landholdings!

I haven't delved deeply into it, but I'm fairly sure that the far-right are orchestrating the attempts to damage the "Grooming Gangs" inquiry.

Why can't the government say this?

I'm guessing 5% would be in favour, with the other 20% either too stupid to understand the question or taking their info from Space Karen's Hate Site.

Leaving the ECHR would hand Putin a huge victory in his war against human rights and international law.

Those who advocate doing so are colluding with an enemy of our country.

They are traitors.

Especially as all he is doing is promoting his pisspoor book in interview after interview and claiming "woke is dead" to get the far-right media interested.

I can't really see why the victims are so against Phillips - from what I have seen she is extremely suitable to lead this.

I'm guessing they are picking up the negative vibes from politically-motivated untruths on Space Karen's Hate Site?

So what is it about Venezuela, the country with the largest oil reserves in the World according to OPEC, that first attracted Trump to it?

BladeoftheSun @bladeofthes.bsky.social · 1d

The US now has at least 7 vessels stationed off Venezeula, including 10,000 troops, two amphibious assault ships (pictured), a Nuclear Submarine, thousands of drones and Missile Destroyers.

It is expected that the US could strike at any time.

Who would have guessed all that guff about 'making utilties cheaper by leveraging the expertise of the private sector' actually meant an open invitation for fat cat executives and investors to see how much they could steal from the public once Thatcher sold them off?

Yeah, me too.
