I could have told them this in March 2020.
These bastards f****d up every decision they needed to make. This was glaringly obvious every single day.

We now know they partied their way through it whilst shoving all our money in their bank accounts. Lock them up.

Big by-election today in Wales, so come on Caerphilly give him a proper welcome on the hillside by soaking the grass with oil. Nigel was unhurt in this AI generated incident, he fell on his Rouble rammed wallet. 😂

Happened to be in Chicago today so stood with our brothers and sisters in the US fighting their fascist challenge. The parallels with our own anti Brexit marches were palpable.

So many good, decent people standing up to the maniacs who want division. We need to stand up and say no. We are many.

This is an excellent commentary from Ian Dunt.
It's really worth reading in full.
Ukraine: Some disparate thoughts on a horrifying day...

This is basically a scream of hatred and anguish, which gradually develops into something marginally more positive.

I'm going to have a drink. It's not too early.

American leadership is over. Ukraine has been betrayed. What happens next is up to us.

This just seems utterly barking and ignorant.

They would be better finishing off HS2 properly first before embarking on this anti-environmental chaos.

URGENT. Democracy matters.
The people of Hampshire are having ours taken away this May. Hampshire County Councillors are trying to cling on to their seats by cancelling this year's election. Scandalous.

Please sign this petition for democracy.

Is it me or is Starmer really this weak a leader?

He seems to be fanatically worried about what a few racist idiots will do if he doesn't kowtow to their every whim.

Screw 'em. They won't be voting for you whatever happens. BE BOLDER AND LEAD !!!

CHECK THIS OUT....
Very interesting. My dad found this 1964 newspaper cutting from The Daily Telegraph predicting the future of 1984.

It's incredibly prescient and may actually be the last factual article published in the Telegraph. "Who needs Experts?"

A refreshing detail from the #AssistedDying vote today is seeing MP vote when not under the whip. It's sort of how Parliament should work, isn't it?

For once they voted according to their conscience on behalf of their constituents, rather than party ideology.

Dear 🇺🇸

The excellent 🇬🇧 Marsh Family have written a song especially for your election. You might recognise the music but the lyrics are just for you!

One of the few things that Trump and Vance are clearly campaigning on is lawlessness, breaking the rule of law and ignoring the constitution. Beyond the fundamental issue of the rule of law, Trump and Vance's announced plans spell economic disaster for the United States.

The Smile are SO damn good. So original yet prolific. I love how they develop their music on tour. Yesterday they drop TWO new tracks out of the blue, and announce a new album in 5 weeks; 9 months after their last.

Not everyone's cup of tea, but everyone's wrong...as ever 😉
