I’ve commented on the piss poor optics from Labour of late but my god, let’s not forget what shit they are clearing up after 14 years of Tory mismanagement and corruption. Not even 9 months in and people who should know better are blaming Labour for the deep hole that is British economy?

Imagine the feeling of trepidation in Ukraine watching Putin fan boy Trump negotiate peace. Like Arne Slot deciding Manchester United's transfers.

I think newspapers should not be allowed to report on any info given by a source who is not prepared to be named. Or the info needs to carry a warning clearly to that effect. That way we know when it’s likely to be lies.

Exciting to watch Elon Musk pivot so elegantly from making his cars toxic to the demographic most likely to consider one, to making his Starlink a national security risk for all the governments who might have wanted it.

The last seven days? What we have always feared? What an irredeemable fraud he is. Gets a whole chapter in ‘How They Broke Britain’. And here he is now, ‘seeing the light’. Danny Dyer voiceover: “Twat.”

Trump never had a peace plan for Ukraine. He had a plan for Ukraine's surrender, with a colonial resource grab. As Zelenskyy rightly refused it, or to cooperate in Trump's TV spectacular, the US has now cut Ukraine off. That's what blackmail looks like. That's what the world is up against.

They really, really need to pin this on Farage. When you think of the 'big beasts' of Brexit bollocks, there's not really anyone else left in the game so it should be quite easy.

Nigel Farage, Kemi Badenoch, Robert Jenrick, Chris Philp. All members of Parliament. Voted by the British people to represent their interests in Parliament in Britain. All siding with a foreign plutocrat against their fellow parliamentarians? Traitors.

I think it’s very clear now that Trump & Musk want to aggressively divide, dominate and rule the Western world, rather than work with anyone respectfully of sovereignty. From Canada to UK, Germany and Greenland/Denmark, the rest of the West need to pull together to resist.

Of course the right wing howler monkeys have gone nuts at Sadiq Khan being honoured. Didn’t hear a peep when it was Charlotte Johnson, Shaun Bailey, Hannan, Coffey, Cameron, Frost… You know…actual failures, non-entities, losers and liars who’ve done untold damage to our democracy and our country.

If anyone doubted that Badenoch is an idiot, the Toby Young nomination confirms it. Just the shabbiest, most dimwitted option available and she jumped right for it.

During the GE campaign Starmer constantly spoke about the state of the economy and our public services and was criticised for talking the country down. Now he's PM and is having to make the difficult choices he said would be needed, he's criticised for not fixing everything within 5 months. 🤔

This actually relates to the previous government, and it also says Ofwat were culpable. Shockingly poor headline. - www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It might be fleetingly satisfying to see Badenoch bested, but PMQs no longer serves any purpose beyond providing playground soundbites. Time for a rethink.

The concept Nigel Farage is incapable of grasping is human rights are universal - if we start stripping away basic human rights from any section of society then none of us has rights – just privileges that can be taken away by people in power whenever they want. I’ll fight that to my last breath

Kemi Badenoch, who has been in the job for five minutes, refused to announce any policies, and fluffed every single PMQs she's taken part in, is named the Spectator's "Leader of the Year".

It’s notable, but not exactly surprising, that so many* of the supposedly ‘sensible’ Brexiters have turned out to be mad, racist, hideous and/or stupid Farage fans. Montgomerie, a particularly pungent proof of this particular pudding, has been stealing a living for years. *every single one of them

Trump: Throw out my 39 felony convictions or it will cause Constitutional conflicts with my presidency. Also Trump: I will ignore the Constitution & be a dictator from day one. Either he knows the 1st will cause him real problems, or he knows he cannot do the 2nd. EIther way, MAGA will be mad.

England water firms push for higher shareholder returns. NO. They picked customer pockets for years, paid high dividends, neglected investment. They charged for sewage disposal, dumped it in rivers. Customers due a refund. Let them go bust. Nationalise. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

The UK does 80% of its trade with the EU and less than 10% with the USA. So if it is forced to choose between the two, it is an obvious one.

Over £715m on Rwanda. £8.7bn on defective PPE. £674m of covid deals that need investigating. There are many many reasons never to let the Tories back into power but this is one of the biggest. Completely corrupt and certainly dangerous incompetence.

So it turns out they spent £715 million on sending a grand total of FOUR volunteers to Rwanda. For comparison, this is more than you could expect to spend on building an entire brand new hospital in the UK

I very much realise I’m no expert on trade or policy, but it really doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand that Brexit was the biggest mistake we’ve ever made, and that we’ve never needed our European friends more. The conversation needs to be had, MPs need to be brave, asap.

Private equity is a horror story for the NHS – one fifth of budget goes to it. Privatised services treat 10% of patients, 3% in 2011. 59,000 private contracts in the NHS. 30%-40% of money vanishes in profits, longer queues persist. End privatisation. www.thecanary.co/uk/analysis/...

A right wing paper that has never had a similar headline about the UK economy taking a FAR greater hit from the ruinous Tory Brexit deal, can’t be taken seriously when it slates Labour for dealing with the epic mess the Tories left behind. What did you expect, Times? You helped grenade the place.
