European. Virtue Signaller. History nerd. Trying to save the world: mixed results so far.

Being honest, I think the UK has probably run its course as a union of four nations.

Views are all my own.

Risible post-truth Brexiter drivel.

WTF is wrong with the Leader of the Opposition? *

*Rhetorical question. Badenoch is a shallow, broken-headed reactionary who wilfully rejects reason and intellect: and shouldn't be allowed to run a bath let alone the UK

Its not just disgraceful and dangerous. Its depraved.There is no moral center to this party. Brexit broke their brains. They're degenerate. As for Badenoch. She is just a slightly more articulate version of Truss. The ghost of the lettuce that defeated truss could run circles round her.

Let's hope so.

It could not be more obvious that Hungary, Czechia, and Slovakia are a not-so-secret pro-Putin, pro-Russia, pro-fascist fifth column within the European Union.

They deserve bitter consequences for their support of Russia's murderous blood-soaked tyrant #EUCO

I wouldn't be surprised if Germany, which is still financing a quarter of the EU budget, will remind Hungary, Slovakia and Czechia of their refusal to chip in for the Ukraine credit when the negotiations of the MFF 2028-34 start for real. #EUCO

Conservative politician Ben Houchen is:

-Tees Valley Mayor
-A Tory life peer in the Lords
-Bent as a nine bob note

Auditors and new officials have been turning over stones at the body in charge of Teesworks. Turns out the Tees Valley Combined Authority has been lending hundreds of millions of £ to connected orgs, without loan agreements, and those orgs are now struggling to repay

Strong Father Jack vibes from the Daily Mail and every other headbanger English tabloid in its response to the UK rejoining Erasmus, ie:

"Drink! Feck! Arse! Brexit!"

Wait until Allison Pearson wakes up from her crystal meth-induced fever dream & finds out which political party was in power for 14 of the last 15.5 years, during which time public sector funding has been gutted and take-home pay & living standards have both declined.

Allison is going to be livid.

I can't help but think that Susie Wiles' interview with Vanity Fair is yet another high-profile distraction to draw attention away from America's mad racist king and his entourage of malignant, law-breaking MAGA flying monkeys as they continue to ransack & ruin the country.

Reminder that Labour has been the dominant party in the Senedd since its creation in 1999.

What's notable is that it's taken the passage of 26 years for Welsh voters to decide that they'd like to try a different party in power #Wales #PlaidCymru #CymruAmByth

Too little too late from MAGA devotee James Woods.

Fuck him. And fuck America's mad, senile, racist king as well.
