just a general reminder that Boris Johnson deliberately misled parliament and lied to the public. The Tory party has not changed - just found themselves another useless patsy in Bad - enoch. Important to remind people I think

This morning, the Coldstream Guards at Buckingham Palace performed a tribute to Dolly Parton. The last time I remember the guards at the palace honoring the memory of an American entertainer was when they paid tribute to Aretha Franklin after she passed away.

Starting a pointless trade war with our most reliable partner as a distraction from your failed war in Iran (that you launched as a distraction from your administration covering up the Epstein files) isn’t going to win you any votes.

we knew the world cup in the US would be a disgrace- and the good old Yanks didn’t disappoint- what an immature nation - epitomised by them voting in a brassy con man …. twice. we all knew they were pathetic over literal bores - but great to see they’ve reaffirmed this to the sport living world.

cost of state pension is too high so why not hold a quinquennial referendum on the nest 5 year pension settlement payment levels. >67yrs can’t vote. Real democracy “in action” for those who fund it? Gives a true reflection of how society values its old and simultaneously collapses the far right 💡??
