A reminder that if Rupert Lowe becomes Prime Minister, he will change the law as follows:
- reintroduce the death penalty and make the reintroduction retrospective: applied to cases that preceded, sometimes by many years, the change of law
- make minors at the time of their crimes eligible for it
- reintroduce the death penalty and make the reintroduction retrospective: applied to cases that preceded, sometimes by many years, the change of law

Difficult to express the visceral disgust I feel at Musk, his fascism, his hideous and cruel abuse of power with cuts to aid that are responsible for death and suffering worldwide, his support for the repulsive Lowe and the way he’s shit-stirring in our country’s democracy and wellbeing.

BREAKING: I'm suing Todd Blanche and the DOJ to STOP the $1.8B slush fund. The Justice Department violated the Administrative Procedures Act when it established the fund, and it must be set aside. You can read my complaint here: www.muellershewrote.com/p/breaking-i...
BREAKING: I’m Suing Todd Blanche and the DOJ to stop the $1.8B Slush Fund
In establishing the “anti-weaponization” fund, the government failed to follow the Administrative Procedures Act (APA), so I'm suing to set the fund aside.

Oh excellent. Another think tank grifting for foreign money to buy our democracy and put Farage in No. 10 - via a pact with the unelectable Tory party, a manifesto modelled on Trump’s Project 2025 and the strong hope that - with helpful media cover - voters will be stupid enough to fall for it.

Is TFL being “racist against white people” by offering an internship to those with a minority ethnic background?
Or is it possible there’s more to this than the screenshot and tweet suggest?🤷🏼♀️

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.

The hysterical reaction of certain commentators to today’s UK-EU agreement is something to behold.
The “surrender” of using e-gates when you go on holiday. The contempt for the “will of the people” of making education abroad more accessible. Rigorous debate is good. This nonsense is a waste of time.
