I think at this point if you're including Diane Abbott - a woman who has never held government office, has been a backbencher since 2020, and is scarcely a government ally - on your list of political wrongdoers, we all know exactly what your real concerns are

I really wish we'd stop calling them climate "skeptics" or "vaccine skeptics", if you jump off a cliff we don't call you a "gravity skeptic"

🔴🟡 Charlton 1-5 Southampton stats review 🟡🔴
(2/3)
- Only the 6th time in the post-war era we’ve scored 5 or more goals in the 1st half of a league match. The most recent previous time was when Mane hit his 2m 56s hat-trick vs Aston Villa in 2015.

An advertising spend of £2bn puts the industry's bleating of "you'll destroy jobs if you tax us more!" into context. They're fucking rolling in cash.

It's a genuine health and societal concern.
And it needs to be stopped.

Well, it’s been a good few hours, but I’m no less pissed off about that loss. I think it’s because it wasn’t a case of being out played by better team. No one minds if they’re just better than you, but England were the absolute architects of their own downfall bloody infuriating

It speaks volumes about the place the Eton Mafia holds in this godforsaken nation that a man like Boris Johnson climbed any higher in life than being a children's entertainer on administrative leave pending the outcome of a tribunal.
