Every local authority has been cut to the bone for years – this is common knowledge - but Grimey and his Reform chums swore blind that £millions were being wasted through incompetence and laziness. DOGE found fuck all - welcome to reality, dickhead.

There are others who have a different view.

And would today’s US military or gov’t really be up for the mass murder, that would be part of a second civil war, if the people of California democratically voted to leave the US?

So why not leave the Union and set California apart as a separate country?

Ah, so it’s a numbers game then.

Joey, you’re number 2,000,009 so we recognise you’re disabled

Jane, sorry but you’re number 2,000,010 so you’re not disabled at all.

Another day through the looking glass with UK politics starts with Reform finding out strangely enough that local government isn't spending all (or indeed virtually any) money on woke initiatives they can easily cut. www.ft.com/content/277c...

The president said it would be “a big insult” to the US if he doesn’t win. Some in Norway fear retaliation if he’s disappointed.

I wonder if Johnson knew #Epstein?

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 13d

Welker: They say the house is not in session because you don't want to swear in the newly elected democratic congresswoman who would be a critical vote to releasing the Epstein files.

Johnson: It's totally absurd. This has nothing to do with that. It's another red herring.

Just leave. Leave the Republicans to the states they control and the Democrat states jointly together.

They would not be talking to Mrs Badenoch because she would be just another voiceless housewife kept out of employment and political voting by sex discrimination practices that are no longer unlawful in GB.

It’s the last one on this list that I what every woman to think long and hard about before voting for any Party that says it wants to leave the ECHR

Remember:

Equal Pay
Maternity Leave
Sex discrimination
All male short-lists
Glass ceilings

UK will leave ECHR if Tories win election, Badenoch says

The European Convention on Human Rights has become a focal point in debates around changing immigration policy.

And the chances of it actually happening is …………

Would it not be better to arrange a State vote to ‘Leave the Union’

USA is not longer functionally beneficial for a number of key States, so why not just leave. E.g. California is the world’s 4th largest economy - so why not leave?

It therefore wasn’t a gaffe, surely, she meant to say it. Therefore it must have been a deliberate lie.
