A country that will not fix its mistakes is a country that has given up on the future. And Brexit was, it’s now clear, a terrible, terrible mistake inews.co.uk/opinion/brex...

Remember when republicans wouldn’t adopt electric vehicles, because our electric grid couldn’t handle it? Now they’re building data centers that consume entire state’s worth of power.

If another Party is brave enough to scrap the triple lock, then nobody else will actually reintroduce it (despite what they might promise in their manifesto). In the meantime, this is a handy data-gathering exercise for the Conservatives.

Storming speech from Andy Burnham. I expect Chris Mason will be along soon, to get Nigel Farage's opinion on it.

Andy Burnham's speaking voice is v much about adopting Orwell's rules 2, 3, 4 and 5 fron Poitics & the English language, probably consciiously as well as instinctively. I think he is the first PM to be an English graduate. (But I expect he will break rule 1 quite happily, eg Bank of Mum and Dad)
Never use a metaphor, simile or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.

ii. Never use a long word where a short one will do.

iii. If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.

iv. Never use the passive where you can use the active.

v. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.

vi. Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

RAF Fairford shows you how ridiculous the Media and Politicians are, the people accused are clearly innocent, there is no evidence at all that they are terrorists. But Billionaire Media and Politicians continue with their ridiculous lies. They do not care about the truth.

We should scrap the triple lock for anyone who has ever voted Conservative.

The BBC news summary this morning went seamlessly from "critics warn PM scrapping triple lock would be electoral suicide" to "critics ask if PM has nerve to make tough decisions" and I don't think it's a particularly pro Burnham stance to suggest he might not be the entire problem here.

If everyone paid the same proportion of tax on their income as you and I do then there would be plenty of money to do everything for everyone. But they don't. Because rules are different for the wealthy.

And trump saying that the suspects were already known to U.S. authorities and had been "under view for a long time" So he is either just making shit up or he's blown an undercover spy operation that's got nothing to do with the 5 guys released on bail after 24 hours.

Just in case it wasn’t clear, when they say the U.S. Government’s paying for this, that’s YOUR taxpayer dollars they’re using. I’ll say this as many times as I need to: it is ILLEGAL to use American taxpayer dollars from the government to pay for candidates’ or parties’ political ads.

The response when progressive policies that help millions of people are proposed... "How will you pay for it?" The response when the richest 1% ask for tax cuts, or banks ask for bailouts, or defense contractors ask for more contracts... "How much do you need?" It doesn't have to be this way.

So just this morning I’ve seen: - someone taking a phone call while driving - someone FaceTiming(!) while driving - Two people driving through red lights at a busy junction. This was in the space of about 10 minutes. Can we have a *actual* war on motorists please. One where they actually lose.

Our megapoll with YouGov shows that more than 99% of GB constituencies want to rejoin the EU. We spoke with people in Holborn and St Pancras, where a by-election is taking place next week. They confirmed that a party that putting EU membership in its manifesto would win their votes.

This is your regular reminder that if you’re missing live football during the International break, you can always pop along to see your local non league side this weekend. It’s cheap, you can have a pint while watching the game if you want and there’s usually dogs in the crowd. #GrassRootsFootball

One of my best friends had a massive stroke of the same type also brought on by high blood pressure a few years ago with the same consequences. He’s recovered somewhat but he’s still not the same. I’m terrified it’s going to happen to me one day. Keep and eye on your blood pressure and everyone.

Good. Now arrest those who were with him for conspiracy, and then arrest those who tried to set fire to a hotel for arson. And then proscribe the group as a terrorist organisation. Which is what you are if you use violence for political ends. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

It bugs me perhaps more than it should (and I'm going to have to do it now) that the media effectively has to use the nicknames like 'Danny Tommo' and 'Tommy Robinson' due to the public awareness of those monikers, as I think it plays into the image they're desperate to perpetuate

That fucking shower of human piss reckons it acts for the British people. Let's have a 'this-or-that' referendum then, as with Brexit. - RNLI or - Angry racists with past convictions for violence. When we discover that most of us prefer heroic volunteers to wife-beaters can we bang the cunts up?

The best kind of masculinity is the kind that doesn't give a fuck if you wear a tutu and have a beard because your daughter wants you to be a fairy princess. Or if your son wants to be on the dance team, not baseball. Men are not defined by what some idiot thinks is masculine.
