Johnson’s lack of self-awareness has reached a new high (or low 🤷🏼♀️)
Lying in politics is wrong and should never be rewarded, says newspaper which pays Boris Johnson £1 million a year to be its star columnist

Whenever a news article opens with “Labour are being criticised ….” You just know the rest of the article will be THEIR OWN manufactured criticism and not actually the opinion of most decent people.
We had it with the budget. We’ve now got it with workers’ rights.
Do some proper journalism ffs.

The "don't have an extra kid if you can't afford it" brigade get awfully upset when you suggest they don't stay in their £2m house if they can't afford it, don't they?

More people from working class backgrounds work in the lower paid end of adult health & social care. If you don’t want to “feed other people’s kids” make sure you tell them when they’re about to change your adult nappy, so they can leave you festering while they look after decent people instead 🤷🏼♀️

I have an electric car - I’m very happy to pay a mileage charge, because I use roads and they’re a public good. I already do my bit for the planet, now I can do a bit more for society.
So for everyone saying I’ve been shafted, fuck off 🤷🏼♀️

Wtf are Mason and Rigby gonna bleat about now? A pretty decent budget which kept manifesto promises, raised kids from poverty and shit all over the nonsense “journos” spouted last week.
I hope Rigby & Mason are ashamed (reader, they won’t be…)

It’s Budget Day - finally we will find out what’s actually happening, and not what 4th rate hacks want us to believe.
I hope there’s something that makes Mason, Rigby, & Kuhennesburg’s heads explode.

Wouldn’t it be EXCEPTIONAL if Reeves stands up on Wednesday and announces rejoining the EU. I reckon I would literally piss myself; just for the look on a certain few faces would be worth it.
And I would celebrate till NY and beyond.

That vacuous excuse for a journo (although she’s actually just a presenter) Kate Garraway asked if Labour did enough to push for earlier lockdown 🤦🏼♀️ Fucking hell, they just can’t accept their Tory heroes were and are utter c*nts.

Having Johnson & Cummings in Downing Street when Covid struck was, just like Brexit, an entirely avoidable disaster caused largely by utterly appalling journalism. And now exactly the same clowns, arses & bigots with bylines are rolling out the red carpet for Farage.

@viviane49.bsky.social I hope you don’t mind, but I screenshot your weekly summaries - today one numpty on Threads asked me to name one thing Labour have done, I don’t think he was expecting a barrage of screenshots 🤣😂
I did credit you, and suggested he follows you! (Sorry!!)

School attendance
In their 1st year, Labour efforts saw school attendance in England increase by 5.3m days, with 140k fewer persistently absent pupils.
The state of attendance they inherited was abysmal. It has improved. But it's not enough.
So they are launching a new attendance roadmap.
