The lesson for Democrats is surely that after years and years of telling anyone they could find that had concerns about society "oh you must be a literal Nazi, cope harder la la la la whoop whoop air high fives and fist bumps that's roiiight ma BOI!" at some point these people are going to turn around and say "well ok then, I just won't vote for you because you have nothing to offer me".

I'm not saying the Republican party has done this any better, but surely insulting potential voters en masse and refusing to understand their concerns isn't a sensible way to win elections. I didn't work for Hilary either, and it hasn't worked for Harris.

The irony is that Ukraine had "the bomb", but the US and its allies promised to protect them if they gave it up. Oops.

Definitely Swamp Thing for me. I would also pay to see that cross over.

Can't wait for Lammy to shake hands with Trump on his next state visit.

We do.... but we don't need to. Just force of habit.

I've literally never been stopped for not wearing a poppy. People wearing them don't say anything to me about not wearing one and I don't say anything to them about wearing one. It's like me commenting on someone's jewellery. Why the fuck would I? People want to wear what they want to wear.

Is this really such a newsworthy issue?

They include "research" when it suits their argument. And speak in absolutes. No drive time radio isn't as popular as what it used to be... but he's using all the same tricks.

He sells controversy. That's his schtick.

His list of proposals include:

  • Action to stop e-bikes and scooters being ridden on pavements
  • An end to 'street scars', where gaps in street paving are replaced with tarmac
  • A "galvanising" national goal to reduce the amount of litter
  • Councils to sort dumping of fridges, mattresses and broken cars
  • Action to stop phone boxes and street furniture being covered in graffiti

What a bastard /s.

 

What these institutions like the IMF don't understand is that countries aren't like households and we can just continue to borrow and increase our debt.... or something 😅

 

That must have been some frantic back pedalling by the government to win back that billion £ investment.

 

I suppose we can just tax them more? Right?

 

Get in Keir!

 

I wonder what "Irish American Zionist" Joe Biden thinks of this?

 

The primary internal opposition to a full-blown youth mobility scheme is coming from Starmer’s top interior minister Yvette Cooper.

Wut 😒... Yvette Cooper? The fuck?

 

Sir Keir Starmer has defended accepting accommodation from Labour donor Lord Waheed Alli during the general election, saying it was important his son had a peaceful place to study.

The prime minister told the BBC he had promised his 16-year-old son that he would be able to get to school and do his exams without being disturbed.

He declared Lord Alli had donated several weeks' accommodation, which is recorded as being worth more than £20,000, in the register of MPs' interests.

Sir Keir told BBC Radio 5 Live: "I had promised him faithfully that I would give him an environment in which he could calmly get on, his one chance to do his GCSEs, and therefore we relocated somewhere else - a gift which we then allocated a sum of money to."

I mean.... if you've got friends in high places then why wouldn't you gift £20k (pretty close to a year's salary for some) so that their son can revise? What's wrong with the library? Or their school?

How many winter fuel allowances would that cover? 😂
