Just the dumbest collection of halfwit confetti emerging out of that conference. Tax cuts everywhere, paid for with imaginary spending cuts. Huge spending projects with precisely zero utility, except to anchor their 'defence day' narrative. Clowns.

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…

I must say I’m very disappointed in the police over their dealing with the RAF Fairford incident. By announcing that the suspects are British nationals, they have completely undermined the stream of made up bollocks from myself and every other right wing gobshite on Twitter.

So, (early days and it could be still scary) but it looks like the UK press was so desperate for it to be Brown immigrants they just pumped it up loads and lost their minds. Trump didn’t want to be out of the limelight so lied about “intel” and Farage did both 🤣🤣🤣

People who sail understand the sea and HUGELY appreciate the RNLI! The unwritten rule among seafaring folk is that you assist those in trouble without judgement, just as RNLI volunteers do. Stick the PPs in a damaged boat above a F6 - they’d soon change their tune.
