I like that Germany has even given us the word to describe ourselves at this point in time. Schadenfreude.

He'd get far more attention if he said he'd called Carney.

I’m so sick of these strongly worded posts do something!

I don't understand why I see this idea repeatedly on Bsky and have said it many times myself, but it isn't being openly discussed by Carney yet. #elbowsUp

I reckon Carney could coordinate an international US treasury bond sell off. He's already shown that he's not afraid of Trump.

1️⃣ He didn't say that.
2️⃣ He said it, but you misunderstood him.
3️⃣ He said what you understood, but he was just trolling.
4️⃣ He was serious but he's just negotiating, not going to do it.
5️⃣ He's going to do it for grand strategy reasons I've invented.
6️⃣ Look what you liberals made him do.

What is this Congress you speak of?

I'd love Carney to coordinate a US treasury bond sell off with allies. Hell, I'd love him to rename the Euro and get Canada to join it. The world needs a new reserve currency.

Jenrick claimed he went to Reform for conscience rather than preservation. Would he have done the same if this was law?

Thousands left without water in the middle of winter in the UK. And those same people are now facing a massive bill hike.

Privatised water is a scam.

I've written to the Prime Minister asking why he won't end this rip off and bring failing South East Water into public hands.

HMOs are a controversial, big business in Birmingham and many councillors claim to be cracking down on them. Hall Green North's Cllr Akhlaq Ahmed is one of them.

But we found out his wife owns one. It's in his ward, and they lived until about a year ago.

And they've just lost even more in the latest review. I can't see much changing even if we get another chief. AI might improve though 🤣

I call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.

For those keeping score, Bellingcat, The New York Times Visual Investigation Team, & Washington Post's Visual Forensic team have all published analysis showing the ICE shooter wasn't in the path of Renee Nicole Good’s vehicle when he shot her, contradicting statements by the President & his cronies

It has become increasingly clear that X - a platform now actively producing explicit and abusive material against women and children - is not an appropriate platform to be using for our comms.

I will keep pushing for action from the govt & relevant authorities in this area.

Did you notice that the British helped the US to seize Venezuelan oil on the freshly flagged Russian tanker?

I'm not entirely sure we're on Europe's side.

A slow US bond selloff would be more suitable to tackle the US. Carney could orchestrate.
