If only those @ox.ac.uk alumni et al had chosen Mandleson instead of the author as Chancellor, the PM may not have been in such a position. #joke #irony

If only he had kept Mandleson at arms length, you know, lurking in a corner and “advising“ when needed. The hubris all round is astonishing. Starmer, the party, you guys(sorry), I, and anyone with any political knowledge knew but we all thought his Trump whispering skills were more important 🤦‍♂️

Imagine your claim to fame being “not quite as bad as Truss”

Proviso: Antisemitic = targeting people of Jewish faith because of their faith.

This member of the Israeli Defence Forces could be an aethiest for all I know. You couldn’t find a more anti-Christian attack if you fucking tried. Is Antichristianism a word?

Bite the bullet time? Literally today. Starmer has nothing to lose. His legacy is shot and this could be the only way he will be seen in the same light as the great(ish) statesmen rather than a damp squib, slightly better than Truss but not even reaching the mediocrity of Sunak.

The autopen will be doing some overtime in the hours between the event and the announcement.

Is it mad to think that he could go all in to try leave a legacy.
On Europe - Promise a rejoin referendum ;
On taxation - increase tax across the board but also increase allowances for lower paid;
On Immigration - clear The backlog and create safe routes.
On pensions - kill the triple lock. 🤷‍♂️

Fear has nothing to do with it apart from fear of losing $$$

For there to be a moral collapse, there had to be some kind of morals in the first place. The Graham clan has never had any morals. Tele-evangelism has always been a con and proximity to power only helps swell their coffers. A pile of stinking rubble is already in a state of collapse.

The Big Short anyone?

This is why they mostly give him video briefings. He’s not lying, just stupid. What are the odds someone wrote “3 or 4 ships passed through” and his lack of comprehension skills, aka illiteracy, only saw “34 ships”.

…well we‘re going to blockade your blockade 😂

Bit better

I thought it looked like a Chat GPT prompt: Not quite right on Matt Goodwin but close enough.

Any chance J D Vance could come to the UK to show support for Farage and Reform in the May 7th elections? 🙏

Excellwnt analysis. I have watched an Ireland not tainted by the fascistic leanings of people like Farage in the UK. No longer unfortunately. The anti establishment, anti Europe and anti immigration shower have infiltrated Irish fringe politics. Don’t fall for it - Farage and co. were fringe once!

Shut thefuck up?

What Everyone Knows About Britain* (*Except The British… How do you see Britain? That might depend on your point…

Yes all the same! As pointed out in www.goodreads.com/book/show/19...
Brexit was the Gateway Drug for all these people

Bread and butter pudding?

🤦‍♂️ - 🦶

On this most holy of weekends, please pray for me as I yet again take my life into my hands and return to the hellscape that is London(istan) May I get out safe from various theatres and the Boat Race 🙏

Anyone heard what der Fürhage has had to say about it yet?

Has he just announced the death of NATO?

Mission accomplished. Lost phones, phones not backed up,forgotten passwords. All excuses by Johnson & Co. Mc Sweeney may have had it stolen but people won’t believe it anyway so it’s understandable if it was “conveniently stolen”.Public think “they’re all the same“ except of course Reform & Greens.

Serious Answer: If there’s a veto and Hungary are still in there, not a chance. Putin wouldn’t allow it.

Not so serious answer: Ireland may veto in revenge for how many dual citizens they‘ve been landed with as a result of Brexit.

A great adaptation indeed. We went to knockoff IMAX - ARC hyper sense - still very good though . And for a movie that has taken so much in opening week, I was surprises By how empty it was. I can’t remember the last time I was in a full cinema. Probably Banshees of Iniseerin

I know. I had to visit on Friday from the safety of Lancashire. couldn’t believe my luck that I got back with my phone
