Ditch AUKUS immediately. There's no knowing what form of extortion will come if we don't please the psychopathic US. We've been whittling away our sovereignty bit by bit for decades. Balls please. www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

Who owes what to whom? We've approved a CO2 bomb that delivers nothing to Australia. So why? Favours? Threats? Personal promises? One way or another, it is an act of corruption and an act of harm towards the citizens of Australia and the world. #auspol www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

A vote for Reform is not a vote for anything new, disruptive, or ground changing. It's not a vote for working class representation. It's a vote for Tories who left the Tory party because it wasn't cruel and nasty enough.

Welcome to Britain, The country where the richest people have convinced the poorest people that it is those even poorer and more vulnerable that are taking everything. It's time to wake up.

If only there was some way of knowing what caused all this…

"Can Germany Replace U.S. Military Power in Europe?" No. But Germany has a lot of reliable partners left and won new ones. Germany has strong capabilities in diplomacy, logistics, reconnaissance, engineering, medical services, and production. Together we are strong.💪 www.youtube.com/watch?v=22Wg...

Reform UK blithely advocating £300–400bn of cuts after a decade and a half of austerity would be straight-up koinonicide, the killing of society. A genuine Left Alternative *must* coalesce quickly—because these wraiths are heading into Downing Street unabashed and unopposed.

It is this enormous failure of empathy, that people like immigrants they know but don't generalize that, while at the same time

#FACTS

PSA: One of those anecdotal data points that might be useful to know—more than a quarter of my mom's ward at her nursing home has contracted Covid in the last 10 days or so.

Grumpme: So 58% of 'Scots' would support Scottish Independence if Farage becomes PM. Wtaf🤷‍♀️ Have some fecking pride and take your brains oot yer arse 🤦🏻‍♀️. If Nigel Farage becomes PM then it's already too feckin late because he sure isn't going to agree to a Referendum & kiss goodbye to Devolution.

Morning Thingummies!

A week after the Great Brexit Reset Summit, should the british retire the "Make Brexit Work" slogan, forget about "cherry picking" and start revisiting the brexit red lines - no to CU, no to SM & no to rej-join - that are alost 10 years old now? A lot has happened since 2016 folks.

It's actually true that large parts of London are no go areas. For anyone earning under £150,000 a year, that is.

Narrator: He would continue to confuse “transgenic” and “transgender” for the rest of his days, which many hoped would be few.

This part

If Westminster rule delivers terrible outcomes under the Tories, no discernible philosophy or change under Labour, and the prospect of Farage as Prime Minister, what exactly is the case for Scotland remaining part of the UK?

Reform UK Ltd are the new Blackshirts — and Farage is revelling in his role as their Oswald Mosley.

I wear makeup and smart clothes when I go to the dentist. In my experience, they treat you more carefully when you don't look like you've given up on life, which is my usual look.

Liz Truss is in Hungary. And she tweeted this without a shred of apparent irony. It's her friends and family I feel sorry for.
