To be fair, he did warn us all that we were never going to survive unless we get a little crazy.

Do the jobs even exist in the same way with automation?

This country is awash with money. The very rich are rich beyond imagination. So when Starmer wants to stay within his arbitrary fiscal rules, who does he decide to take money from? The very rich? No, from people with disabilities who depend on benefits for the bare minimum of a decent life.

King Charles who loves killing foxes, birds, and badgers has been made Patron of the RSPCA. King Charles used his power to block a ban on Fox Hunting and to make sure it is the joke ban we currently have. RT if the RSPCA should remove him.

They are mad over there though. The comments section is next level. Any left wing perspective is met with with ‘I expect you’re a train driver’ 🤣

Really quite extraordinary to see demands for Starmer's resignation, in response to his being open about terrible mistakes that happened between 2017-2024, from the very politicians who were in charge during that time - sometimes at the depts that messed up. ~AA www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/01...

I have an ominous feeling that the people currently saying “it’s not a Nazi salute” will soon be saying “it’s just a symbol from Hinduism.”

The problem is less how much media covers reform, more that it covers them on THEIR terms. It’s about Muslims & boats & boats & boats. Never ever are they challenged on their desire to scrap the NHS or their economic policy (or lack thereof). That’s why they benefit from disproportionate coverage.

Dear BlueSkyers. Sadly I'm getting many reports of scammers pretending to be me here, incl messaging people with 'investments' . Pls share/help me spread word that, as you know, THIS IS MY ONLY BLUE SKY account (proved as my handle is an official MoneySavingExpert one). All others are scams

The 1% also make the mistake of thinking they’re in the same gang as the 0.1% with the politics to match. If I was paying 45% top rate on PAYE I’d be mightily annoyed to be paying more tax than a Non Dom or Amazon etc.

X was one key vector for the incitement to violence in July/August 2024 + was negligent during and after about criminal content. Having a radicalised billionaire owner manipulating the algorithm to promote extremist narratives that socialise violence is a regulatory issue + national security risk

The pendulum has swung so far to the Right that the current Labour Govt is called Left when it is at best in the Centre. This allows the far right to label themselves as merely ‘of the right’. We need some honesty - there is barely any ‘left’ to speak of.
