I’m terrified that every time I see the dentist they finally say “you know, we should really fix these gaps in back of your jaw”
Everyone’s at it again
It’s extremely weird to me that thanks to a mad orange con artist who somehow convinced a nation half the world away that he should lead them that my mortgage has gone up £700 a month
“People can just call me up and kiss my ass and I will sort things out”

By any measure a sizeable number of American citizens still think everything is fine & that should be a warning flag
I remain baffled how he didn’t bang on endlessly about it.
Equally I am alarmed at how quickly Charlie Kirk was sunk from the Trump talk.
Pretty much this
Lot of people don’t understand that what is happening to Ukraine & Iran now will echo on for absolutely centuries.
Stones that drop in the lake of history ripple on and fucking on until everyone forgets what the stone was even about
Every morning at 9:00 AM, Ukrainians observe a national minute of silence to honor those killed in the Russian war.
There’s not an item on there that still isn’t a topic
Never far away
Yup same. He was supposed to be antithesis of Johnson.
I’m sure it’s not an easy job but the Mandelson episode combined with the Rayner episode combined with just how much of a bollock he keeps dropping is a theme now
The Edstone (which happens to be in someone’s garden near where I live last time I checked) was an early warning sign that people were just not interested in politics enough anymore & would vote on vibes.
It was a bad grasp
Unsure but I felt it would be an option and here we are
Do I feel that Starmer has been a a success?
Categorically not. The harm Starmer has done to cliche that legal types are clear minded & focused ethical professionals is apparent.
Starmer now comes off as an out of touch administrator now. Someone unable to connect to reality of affairs.
Imho.
Once upon a time people didn’t take
miliband seriously because of a bacon sandwich photo & the idea he was chaotic & I look at the timeline & think about this moment quite a bit
(Looks to camera)
Like at this stage, you are picking out one particularly grubby apple & not asking yourself the question “funny, why is this apple called Mandelson so much worse than many other apples in this barrel? Indeed, why are some of these manky apples even in here? Oh well. Nevertheless.”
FCDO always risk vets applicants & this was written down in a letter to parliament back in September 2025.
The fact that Mandelson was a FUCKING PEER IN THE LORDS but already regarded as a risk baffles me even more.
But we have a few risks already in the Lords don’t we?
BEHOLD THY EGGCESS
You: "That's just a conspiracy theory! Vaping isn't training us to suck robot dicks."
The robots:
I only recently learned that a single healthy hen could produce over 200 eggs a year and this seems A LOT

NEW: The Onion says it has struck a deal to take over Infowars. That deal still must be approved by a judge. This news was first reported by @pablo.show. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
A clip from The New York Times reads: "But only the entities that officially paid the tariffs are eligible to recover that money. That means that the fuller universe of people affected by Mr. Trump’s policies — including millions of Americans who paid higher prices for the products they bought — are not able to apply for direct relief. The extent to which consumers realize any gain hinges on whether businesses share the proceeds, something that few have publicly committed to do. Some have started to band together in class-action lawsuits in the hopes of receiving a payout."
The average American family paid $1,700 in tariffs last year, according to the bipartisan Congressional Joint Economic Committee. Few will ever see any of that money back. The refunds will go to companies, if doled out at all. What a joke.
Ok here’s the letter containing excerpts from FCDO as well as other factors from time:

I do feel like it’s the one thing house would nod to
I foresee a Miliband PM in our future now
