When you're more afraid of HMRC than the IRGC...

Amazingly, Zahawi only got round to deleting the below after the press conference announcing his defection to Reform.

Imagine watching 14 years of this type of shit and thinking life would get better, and then this! I'm done with the Labour Party.

Things are going great over at X, The Everything App

The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

Yet they don't bat an eyelid at nearly 9 million people in the UK taking antidepressants - that's completely normal 🤯

Jeremy Clarkson reignites feud with Green party leader in blistering tax attack "Snaggletooth vegan!"

They're all kicking off.

The last gaps of the old broken system that protected their power & wealth.

Change is coming.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Zohran and Polanski are mobilising a new type of progressive politics. One where governments work for the majority, not the wealthy minority. Where politics isn’t something done to you, but something we do together. Where hope beats millions spent on misinformation and fear.

Make hope normal again.

Paralysed by the status quo and captured by lobbyists. Tax rises for ordinary people whilst delivering more managed decline. No sign of progressive changes that we hoped for after 14 disastrous years.

We had a NATO coalition and tens of thousands of troops in Afghanistan for 20 years and never managed to stop the cultivation of opium.

I have no idea what sort of brain damage the Trump administration has that makes them think they’re going to drone strike their way into ending cocaine use.

Via Press Gazette: "The Daily Star’s livestream of the Liz Truss lettuce has been acquired by the British Film Institute’s National Archive for a collection of significant pieces of online video. The BFI’s curator said it was “a seminal moment in British political history”"

Does Robert Jenrick even realise English clubs were banned from playing in any European football competitions after May 1985 for the rest of the decade, returning only in 1990/91, after Heysel disaster, as UEFA + our government felt fans couldn't be policed safely travelling away?

it's kinda weird that all the software i am expected to use for work are all written by distributed teams, go, python, postgres, linux, chrome, k8s etc

and despite being told "the best teams work in an office together" i don't know of any software i use that's actually written that way

Jenrick could have visited Handsworth to listen to residents – he chose to pass through and make a judgement based on the colour of their skin. Instead of getting to know our nation of neighbours, he chose racism.

The Tories, Reform and Labour want to divide us.

The Greens say enough is enough.

Seeing lots of this tonight after that party political broadcast.

The Green Party are on track to overtake the Tories in membership.

Let's make hope normal again.

Moderate Labour politicians cosplaying as Reform MPs is an ugly watch.

OUR BATHROOM MIRRORS ARE VITAL TO OUR NATIONAL SECURITY

Sick to death of think tanks financed by dark money, spewing out shit! How about those.

I turn on my TV and a TV presenter is asking a Govt minister why they are talking about rolling out free childcare when the big issue is asylum hotels. This is objectively insane.

Anything but rejoining the single market. They are not serious people.

The UK Prime Minister lives inside a right wing echo chamber. After 14 years of pure shit, this is what we've been served. Astonishing stuff.

Octopus Energy Cheaper, greener energy, heat pumps, solar panels, batteries and electric vehicles from Britain's most awarded energy supplier. One of Europe's largest investors in renewable energy. Switch today.

Britain pays wind farms to turn off when it’s windy and overpays gas plants to switch on instead. It'll cost bill payers up to £8b/yr by 2030. Zonal energy pricing would slash this.

We’ve started tracking this (avoidable) waste live on our site: octopus.energy

No change, no innovation, just more of the same managed decline.

Shameless
