They seem to be picking things that are just out of a satirical box of nasty party policies but it's real. Unserious, sadistic idiots.
So, Tories would cancel Erasmus and youth mobility, scrap the SPS deal that reduces red tape, lowers costs and eases backlogs for goods trade and renege on our new energy, defence and security arrangements…
Ridiculous threat, ridiculous party, ridiculous people…

Really encouraging, hope he can do it.
Big, bold stuff from our Prime Minister in his speech today! 💥
Proud we’re not shying away from big issues.
Proud that we won’t stop until we solve the problems hounding families in Southampton and beyond – whether social care costs, young people out of work, or energy bills.
Here’s to HOPE! 🙏🏾

Lucas's mistake in prequels was thinking it would take an evil genius to overthrow democracy, rather than a disgusting gangster with tiny hands.
Comparing him to 47 is highly insulting... to Jabba.

In UK virtually no charging infrastructure in our area, we don't have off road parking so we can't charge at home. If you have a private drive you have another advantage.
Saying "just buy an EV if you hate high gas prices" to poor people makes climate activists look out of touch. Those who are most impacted by high gas prices can't afford $20k+ on a vehicle and charger. I certainly can't, so let's keep that in mind before we shame people for not going electric.

What a surprise to learn that a Russian oligarch close to Putin paid for Junior’s lavish wedding. Who could’ve expected it?

Your regular reminder: If the Russians stop fighting, the war ends. If the Ukrainians stop fighting, their land will be occupied, their leaders will be killed, their history and language will be erased, their children will be kidnapped to serve Russia.

- Funded Cameron in run up to 2015 election. Thereby funding library and youth club closures, cuts to school budgets, armed forces/local authority budgets. Huge growth in corridor care & overcrowded prisons.

I saw a meme today that said that books are proof that strangers can meet across centuries and still understand each other.
That really resonated.

Inflation is caused by the orange shit gibbon, not homeowners splashing the cash, so why punish them instead of forcing the shit gibbon to stop his war.
Breaking news: The Federal Reserve chair said high inflation is 'concerning', warning that the US central bank will have 'work to do' unless policymakers make swift progress in cooling price pressures across the economy. ft.trib.al/CPiBSh4

Not surprised, I keep meeting them through work and they're utterly useless. Total inadequates or lunatics!
Sheffield councillor Robert Hanson left Reform after he saw the rot behind the facade. Now he's urging others not to be taken in.
Reform is haemorrhaging councillors at a rate of 1 every 3 days since May. We're tracking them all: https://bestforbritain.org/reform-uk-defections-resignations-tracker/

What an incredible legacy.
My sister-in-law grew up in Puerto Rico. When I told her about Dolly Parton’s passing, she looked puzzled—no recognition of the golden voice or public persona—until her face lit up and she said, “Oh! The book lady!” I think Dolly would love to be remembered this way by a mother of two.
