“UK drugs will cost the #NHS more so that we can subsidise the excess costs of #healthcare in the #US.”
Fortunately, Reform plan to introduce American #extortion over here, so the rip-off will be less obvious.

#Pharmacies in the #US now paying people to take drugs away - up to 5x or 6x what those drugs would previously have cost.
If your #medication used to cost you $100, you should now be given $500 just for collecting it.
Explain to the pharmacist that #DonaldTrump has made your drugs 600% cheaper.

#DonaldTrump: “This newspaper is so fake. I got today’s #Wordle in only 38 guesses, so they imposed a stupid 6-guess limit. I had a brain scan and the MRI machine said it was the most beautiful ever, but the failing #Obama #Democrat #NYT pretends folks guess these fake words in, like, 4 or 5 tries”

#DonaldTrump has been signing his name with glitter pens on local fences.
I say ‘signed’, but I doubt his tiny hands could hold a pen big enough - they struggle to cope with button mushrooms (Hey! I don’t know; maybe he has friends 🤷♂️)
Anyway, looks like #autopen to me.

“… but having had a system for hundreds of years” that allowed the public real influence on criminal justice has helped protect the interests of common people, and its importance should not be dismissed as a way to continue the disastrous austerity project of a previous government.

He’s definitely not the hero the right paint him as, although he does his best to ally himself with the rapists, paedophiles, sex offenders and misogynists the right love to love.
Maybe the tiny few who still think he is an anti-elite rebel are too few to propel him into government?

My house in Australia had a full-wall living room window.
From a metre away from it, it was impossible to see any sign of human existence beyond, just unobstructed view to snow-capped peaks in winter and grazing kangaroos in the early morning.
Bliss.

… AFTER reporting that speculation on the budget harms the country.
Budget speculation starts earlier in the year, and lasts longer, than Christmas.
… except for the hoohah about Tesco ‘festive trees’, obviously.

Local news can sometimes feel a little parochial - “Minor functionary retires after 60 years of unnoticed dedication” - but in Australia they think differently.

I understand that people in Renaissance Italy usually wore black and sepia clothing in photographs, but wasn’t the Mona Lisa painted in colour?

#Hypocrisy in the Anglican Church.
A bishop who gives (at least tacit) support to anti-migrant protests says “God doesn’t have favouritism”.
I wonder if he has explained this to Tommy Robinson, who says he would die for “God’s favourite #WarCriminal people”.
