Still shouting into the void in the vain hope someone will shout back!

"Dear Diary The launch of our scheme to use the Royal Navy to stop small boats has gone exactly to plan. It is so patently absurd that it is all anyone can talk about, providing the perfect distraction from all our dodgy financial dealings"

How the hell have journalists allowed Farage and Yusuf to pretend that their Royal Navy idea is a ‘humanitarian’ mission if ‘innocent’ immigrants are taken back to France, but a full-scale war-like ‘invasion’ of ‘illegals’ if coming our way? I mean, seriously. Please don’t be this hopeless…

Wordle 1,872 1/6 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 what a complete fluke! I jotted this word down last night as I was doing a crossword thinking it would be a good starter word for today. My 3rd got it in one! 🥇🎉🙌

As with so much of what you say, I agree. But I don't think Binface is a laugh. Should he win, it is emblematic of a refusal by voters to be bullied, not just by Farage and his associates, but by a media desperate to peddle a fantasy of Reform as the govt in waiting.

As Trump drives oil prices higher, half of England is in drought, and wildfires rage across Europe, the idea of drilling for more fossil fuels is completely bonkers. If Burnham goes ahead with this is shows he doesn't have the backbone to lead. www.theguardian.com/politics/...

Labour MPs fear No 10 team lack up-to-date energy insight and don’t fully recognise voters’ climate concerns

For years, Telegraph columnists told us climate breakdown is a hoax. Now they say: it's real, but it's too late to do anything about it, so let the bodies pile high (again). Just one long list of excuses not to reduce fossil fuel use. Such newspapers bear as much responsibility as the oil firms.

So, Farage has another hissy fit about ‘the establishment’ not including him in social care talks even though he excluded himself by sticking his snout so deep in the trough he triggered several investigations into his insatiable greed. Pipe down you utter clown. www.lbc.co.uk/article/refo...
