I'm just relieved nobody is talking about how I said I bought a house in Clacton, then admitted it was in the name of my girlfriend, Laure Ferrari, even though she couldn't afford £885,000, which conveniently meant I avoided £44,000 in tax.
Please don't share.

Agree. I’ve checked the septic tank - it needs emptying.

And Trump today threatens to cancel the U.K. trade deal. Be more Carney, Mr Starmer.

It’s utterly demeaning and spectacularly poorly judged. Any relationship worth anything is based on mutual respect, not insults and abuse followed by fawning ego-stroking of the abuser.
What are we saying about ourselves to the world with this? That we are complicit? Or just deeply pathetic?

Not quite going the way the Daily Mail hoped. Excellent. Feel free to join in... www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

There was no good way to organise this visit and nothing gained by sending him. A severe risk to national dignity, undertaken for no advantage whatsoever.

Pam Bondi didn’t show up for her hearing today, despite our subpoena. We’re going to begin contempt proceedings. It’s time to hold these people accountable to the laws we passed in Congress.

You can still be shocked can't you, even after years of this shit. That sentence chilled me to my bones. To see an American president say that. To see him boast about it.

You may have the option on phoenix Boris’ bloviating bollocks too, soon.

Your cup (of desperate populist crap) will truly runneth over.

FFS. The media (not just the rabid anti-EU press) are already on the betrayal narrative. It’s not normal. Rather than Starmer/Labour look back in the future (probably in opposition) and say we should have gone the right thing? Do it now. Be a Labour govt.

Can you imagine any other govt policy being allowed to do such barrelling damage to our economy and national standing... and politicians and media just shrugging and saying,
"Oh well. Better not upset the rightwing nutbags”
Brexit is like being pushed over and being too scared to ever get up again.

The Prime Minister’s plan for immigration will keep people working in key industries like care in temporary status for a decade or more, it will keep people in insecure work, make them more easily exploitable, poorer and marginalised - when did that become the policy of a Labour government?

This is utter garbage. I believe in net zero. We need to get there. But renewables are not competitive. That's why they are subsidised. Fossil fuel markets are highly competitive. It shouldn't be hard to hold these two thoughts at the same time.

You might have formed the impression that Paul Johnson, former director of the Institute for Fiscal Studies, knows what he's talking about. The media treats him like the voice of God. But here he is - and not for the first time - talking out of his hat. Let's break it down in a short thread. 🧵

The “British people” he’s referring to are the racists, the gullible and weak-minded who buy into his populist narrative and appeals to their prejudice.
