Donald Trump absolutely HATES the “President Musk” meme with a passion.

Let’s keep spreading it.

I wish her only health and happiness but this really is ridiculous. Until we stop the deification of these frankly entirely ordinary people it’s hard to see how we evolve out of the stagnant stupor that continues to hold back the United Kingdom. How can anyone take this seriously.

Left: Kemi Badenoch says British citizenship should be "a privilege to be earned" and not an "automatic right"

Right: A Nigerian TV channel points out that Kemi Badenoch's mum flew to London to give birth to Kemi, then flew back to Nigeria, where Kemi was raised till the age of 16

Nailed it 💥🔥🔥

Why we should get a grip with this “have another general election” petition.
The Tories lost with 6.8 million votes.
That’s democracy.
The party coming second could easily drum up millions for a petition like this.
Never mind when you add in Lib Dem’s etc.
The next election is in 2029.

One of the better later era Marillion albums is “Marillion.com”
Saying that, it’s 25 years old!

Depeche Mode’s best album.
Shades Violator for me.

Now playing. Underrated album this.

As Health Secretary Matt Hancock sent Covid infected patients into Care Homes with zero protection for other residents leading to 30,000-40,000 deaths.

Now at the Covid inquiry he blames Nicola Sturgeon.

He and Johnson should be in court.

Andrew Tate got banned from Bluesky in less than one day.

Another reason things are so much better here than Twitter.

I don’t wish to mock ….. but ….. the STATe of it!

Alex Burghart, "What is the government doing to bring down inflation"

Angela Rayner, "Many people might not know Mr Speaker but the honourable member was the minister for growth under Liz Truss, when inflation was 11.1%. We're doing much better than he did"

Rayner on fire at #PMQs 🔥

Picture of Jeremy Clarkson with his 2010 quote: “Land is a better investment than any bank can offer. The govt doesn’t get any of my money when I die.”

Narrator voice: “Little did he know…”

Tweet from kemi badenoch about meeting jeremy clarkson

I was also going to chat to Jeremy Clarkson, then I suddenly remembered that I'd rather lick piss off a nettle.

Important context here:

● over half of farms are less than 49 acres (20 hectares)

● "a big farm" is 217 acres.

Now let's see who's angry:

● Clarkson farm is 1,000 acres
● Lloyd Webber farms 4,000 acres
● Viscount Rothermere (Mail owner) 4,700 acres
● Dyson owns 36,000 acres

You've echoed my thoughts. I've never understood why farmers and other businesses were exempt from inheritance tax. If you work all your life & have money & property to leave that above certain levels will be tax. So why R businesses exempt & farms R businesses.

It’s him!

Robert lives in my town and it’s not his chin/beard.

Please spare a thought for James Dyson, the Brexit-voting billionaire who bought up 33,000 acres of farmland to avoid tax then moved his business to Singapore. He's the real victim here.
