Hey everyone, Tom Swarbrick @lbc.co.uk has got………..
Liz Truss on his show to discuss how PMs should behave.🤷🏼‍♂️
Seriously, he has. 😜

Good grief. Tom Swarbrick’s views seem to get more right wing each day. And today, to help his Starmer bashing, he’s got none other than that pillar of sensible, rational politics, Liz ‘The Blob’ Truss on his show.
I can only presume he’s angling for a slot on GBeebies or Fox News 🫤

Crackers.

I’m old enough to remember when all the old Tory farts were wheeled out daily to defend Boris Johnson’s lies and incompetence. “He got all the big calls right” they said. He didn’t.
Those same old Tory farts now faking outrage about Starmer.

Nick Torybloke on #R4Today gleefully bashing Starmer and talking over Ed Miliband. Thank goodness we have the unbiased BBC.

Phones to be banned in schools by law in England under government plans Education minister Jacqui Smith said the move would create

I think this sums up my disappointment with Labour. We needed radical change for our country. Instead we are getting tiny teeny changes that nibble at the edges and make little difference to our lives.

I’m old enough to remember when the USA was a democracy and when corruption led to the removal of the President.

Reform will need to recruit thousands of immigration officers to do this. At a cost of millions of £.
It’s total bollocks.

I’m pretty outraged this morning. I’ve been listening to #R4Today for at least 5 minutes and they have not interviewed Nigel Farage. Or even a single Reform representative!!
Biased BBC!

“Starmer has to go” 🤔
Yep, we need a PM with integrity like, ummm Boris Johnson or Liz Truss 🙄

Good job Richard Tice isn’t called Angela Raynor!

Why is this at all surprising?

This country stinks. One rule for the public school educated elite boys club members and bollocks to the rest of us.

Tice ‘happy to put things right’ after ‘he failed to pay £100k in corporation tax’ Mr Tice said last year Angela Rayner would resign if she had “any moral decency” after admitting to underpaying stamp duty

Richard Tice deputy leader of Reform ran four shell companies which did not pay any tax on profits between 2020 and 2022.

He's now offering to "put things right".

Go on then Richard - resign.

To compare him to Angela Raynor is very unfair on Richard Tice.
For one thing, he’s an entitled and privately educated MAN.
Angela Raynor is a mere woman, who did not receive a private education, and so she should obviously be held to much higher standards 🙄

Dear fellow Brits, from this Brit-American:

Please don't come here. It's dangerous. You may be targeted, arrested and unlawfully detained - likely courtesy of ICE - without access to legal representation.

Nothing says local party like calling the people of Watford, Hertfordshire, Londoners…

Fact for today: There are still almost 200 coal power plants still operating in the US. There are less than 8 in Canada and none in the most industrial and populous province, Ontario. If companies really believe in reducing climate impacts, they can choose countries that produce cleaner energy.

It appears most MAGA Americans are barking mad.

Any fan going to #FIFAWorldCup matches in US is fucking nuts.
You risk being beaten up and arrested by ICE goons, you get ripped off by extortionate ticket prices and ridiculously high train fares.
