Being in the EU isn’t a magic solution to our problems, because it is the elected UK gov that decides domestic policy. But being back in the EU would mean more tax revenue to invest in public services, and help ease the cost-of-living crisis. #RejoinEU

And the biggest howler: Reform’s geniuses in Kent were apparently able to repaint a fence, trim the verge, plant grass seed (and get it to grow instantly), redo the pavement and repave the road all so quickly that the car in the top-right corner didn’t move an inch! Amazing!

“Honestly climate change scares the heck out of me and it makes me so sad to see what we're losing because of it.”

Reply by Gary P Jackson #Conservative who said

“Maybe you should learn some actual SCIENCE then, and stop listening to the criminals pushing the #GlobalWarming SCAM!”

Katie Mack replied saying

“I dunno, man, I already went and got a PhD in astrophysics. Seems like more than that would be overkill at this point.”

Two top Republicans, both originally pro-Trump, confirm the US attacked Spain using Morocco as a proxy. US paid Morocco at least $40M two weeks before the Ceuta breach.
Former congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene: "Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene...
@FmrRepMTG
Follow
Republicans paid $40 MILLION of your tax dollars to Morocco to invade Spain.
And then they all pretended like borders matter and clutched their pearls like invasions are offensive.
R's and D's are the same and the Uniparty has put us in $40 T in debt and Americans LAST."

Congressman Thomas Massie: 
"2 weeks before migrants from Morocco invaded Ceuta, the GOP passed a bill with $40 million for Morocco and a committee report advising:
Spanish-administered cities of Ceuta and Melilla are located in Moroccan territory and remain the subject of Morocco's longstanding claim."
