Not American and don’t normally comment on American affairs, but why don’t us journalists hold the orange faced shit gibbon to account with his unsubstantiated nonsense?

Grenfell being taken down sensitively- what a joke, how can you demolish a tower block sensitively other than making sure bits don’t fall on the neighbours. Piss poor attempt to blow over the shitty way it was announced. Will be in developers hands in the not too distant.

UK government forced into a fairly pointless action (given that there’s been 2 enquiries already) by a right wing extremist billionaire. An awful day for democracy (albeit that we live in a monarchy).

It’s about time the honours system (and the royals) got kicked into touch. Their astounding privilege is disgusting

Whilst Bluesky is a lot better than Twitter, I get at least one follow per day from bots purporting to be women who have no posts. Made the mistake of following one back and got a dm straight away.

I don’t care what she eats, but the lunch is for wimps chat is complete bullshit. A break from work is healthy, not that what she does is work.

The government messaging re the IHT targeting land owners (most farmers are unaffected) really needs to improve. A friend of mine was adamant that the government wants to shut down British farms and sell them for housing. Frustrating that Labour are losing the media.

Atkins claimed to know a farmer who was on £19,000pa this morning on sky news. Surely if you owned an asset worth £1,000,000 or more you’d sell it rather than live on as low an income as that. If true it must be a pretty small farm that wouldn’t breach iht limit. Obviously she wasn’t challenged.

The whole discussion around winter and heating your home needs some moderation. My Mum (who is very able to afford her bills) is terrified that she won’t be able to afford to her home and has started cutting back.

His connections to Epstein have never been explained. Would he agree to an interview with Emily Maitlis to discuss?

Wales are really poor. Think the Aussies might well have an inflated view of how good they are.
