Daily Telegraph: solar panels get dirty then lose 40% or more of their efficiency. China: hold my beer
The far right have started calling Manchester Mincechester because our mayor is a lesbian. They really can't make their minds up about cities. Surely they cannot be dangerous crime ridden Sharia law hotspots AND pits of homosexuality degeneracy at the same time. Pick a fucking conspiracy theory.
A person serving a 4 month prison sentence for perverting the course of justice is entitled to stand for Parliament or remain an MP, but they are disqualified from being a councillor for 5 years. Tell me which of our elected representatives we hold to higher standards.
Ian Dunt@iandunt.bsky.social · 8h agoHere are the stupidest things Kemi Badenoch has said so far today inews.co.uk/opinion/kemi...
This is genuinely the single most needless self-inflicted political clusterfuck I've seen in some time. It was a council selection: all Badenoch had to do was get him dropped as a candidate. Instead she's turned it into a multi-day saga she now personally owns.

Nicholas Grossman@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 6h agoIran and Oman have reportedly agreed that all ships transiting Hormuz have to go through an Iran-controlled corridor, and are finalizing tolls of 3, 5, or 7%. This would close off the path outside Iranian waters the US encouraged ships to use during the MOU, then started bombing again to keep open.
Even Daily Mail readers are brighter than Kemi Badenoch! Badenoch is the best chance Labour have of winning the next election because she is a total dunderhead. I mean truly thick! She wouldn’t last 6 months in a commercial environment. #ToryParty #Badenoch

Unbelievable hypocrisy from Badenoch - she attacked Starmer for putting Louise Haigh in cabinet (conditional discharge and £100 fine) but defends Bonehill-Paine (five year prison sentence). Obviously the reliably hopeless Justin Webb failed to make this point to her on the Today programme…

Pretending that the Navy taking back migrants would be a humanitarian mission and therefore legal, is a bit like pretending that a £5 million bribe is nothing to do with politics and therefore doesn't need to be declared.
