Conservative MP Joe Robertson criticises Labour for the increase in civil service since 2016

Of course the civil service ballooned after Brexit to manage the red tape created by Brexit #BBCQT

He's complaining about an effect caused by his own Conservative government 🤷‍♂️

Kelly: "I never expected after serving 25 years in the Navy flying combat missions over Iraq and Kuwait, flying the Space Shuttle, that now I've got to worry about my personal safety and that of my wife, Gabby Giffords, who was already nearly assassinated, because of something the president said."

Aha the effect of installing an 18 kWh battery. On Octopus Agile tariff, we charge the battery cheaply at night and draw nothing from the grid all day. (OK we don't use a lot of electricity but when get the heat pump the savings will be much bigger).

Just Months after two members of congress and their spouses were gunned down in their home, killing two of the four!!Yet he pardoned convicted violent insurrectionists. He’s a swine that lives for the desecration and destruction of all we hold dear in the USA. A filthy, demented swine.

He knows it's all falling apart. This is a clear reaction to that. He's going to be lashing out more and more as things get worse and worse for him. As I said in a previous post, it's called an 'extinction burst'...and it's happening now in real time.

For the first time in my career, I can’t tell people to trust what the CDC website says. And that is an incredibly sad and devastating place for this country to be.
CDC has overhauled its website to assert that “the claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim”

It may not be woke to say that an infidelitous antisemitic heroin addicted activist who is using anabolic steroids and psychedelics shouldn’t be determining the fate of US children, by my lord, someone’s got to say it.

This is nuts.

Yesterday in the Comey hearing, prosecutors *repeatedly* confirmed that the full grand jury never saw or voted on the two-count indictment.

Now they’re claiming the grand jury *did* vote on it.

This will surely surprise most Americans today, but historians have recently discovered that before Donald Trump, it was actually incredibly rare for a president to demand the public execution of this political opponents and press critics.

BREAKING: The U.S. Coast Guard just announced they won’t classify swastikas and nooses as hate symbols anymore they’re calling them ‘potentially divisive.’ Potentially divisive? Listen, a noose isn’t a conversation starter. A swastika isn’t a debate topic. They are dangerous hate symbols. Full stop
