Middle class woman of a certain age. Can’t abide the very silly and ignorant use of words like ‘woke’ and the equally absurd invention of ‘culture wars’ by third rate hacks. Proud EU rejoiner, a fan of civilised debate. Love London.
UK Patriotic Millionaires campaign for a wealth tax.
James O’Brien@mrjamesob.bsky.social · 2d agoThe point of school, the simple justice of a wealth tax & Congo Chris Philp’s amazing crime busting wheeze that literally nobody* has ever thought of before… podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/i... *may contain sarcasm
This govt need to legislate a minimum number of hours MPs spend working for their constituents.
Parody Nigel Farage@parodypm.bsky.social · 3d agoYou'd be amazed how many people it takes to fight a bin.

It wouldn’t do anything to reduce the cost of living since it’s not owned by the UK - Thatcher flogged our oil off to international markets.
Paul Bernal@paulbernal.bsky.social · 6d agoI haven’t seen his actual words, but if Burnham did say that drilling would ease cost of living, he’s not ‘admitting’ it, he’s either lying or an idiot. You can’t ‘admit’ something that isn’t true.
Hope they work and become available in the US eventually along with Chinese EV’s etc.
Well yes, Farage did seem to want the alleged incitement to cause him harm to be seen by millions of people thus increasing the alleged risk of being harmed.
Ian Dunt@iandunt.bsky.social · last wk.Christ alive this Polanski story is fucking stupid. Everyone involved an absolute buffoon, including Farage.
In which I walk the tightrope between hope and despair. Again.
The i Paper @theipaper.com · last wk.Opinion | After well under a fortnight in power, the Prime Minister has achieved something that – and this is where that hope can become quite painful – will be almost impossible to undo 🖋 @mrjamesob.bsky.social: trib.al/nEZPaIc
Yes, but he's still an MP and all that goes with it. He MUST be beaten. Somehow, I don't think Clacton are going to do it.
Farage is waiting for a chance to incite more rioting to evade scrutiny in Clacton. Be vigilant and nip in the bud any attempts.
It's astonishing that at this time in American history it is conceivable that the U.S. Supreme Court might help a convicted felon steal an election.
Many sadly concluded we had to go through Brexit before people saw what a horrendous act of self-harm they had committed. I'm terrified the same thing will happen with #Reform - that people will vote for them without realising they've just screwed over their country, loved ones and themselves.
Please can you reiterate to your followers that oil from the North Sea does not belong to the UK but to international markets. Thatcher flogged it off in the eighties.
Mike D London@mikedlondon.bsky.social · 2w agoI see net-zero is 'bankrupting' us again. Currently 95.7% of our electricity coming from net-zero at a cost of -£9.35/MWh. Yet Tories / Refukkers want to go back to legacy fossil fuels, priced at the whims of the global market and bad for the environment. Just to reward their fossil-fuel donors.
We’re seeing the devastating effects of climate change in our forests right now. That’s why Minnesota is building the sustainable innovations of the future. Our new sustainable aviation fuel hub is reducing our carbon footprint, supporting our farmers, and creating jobs.
It was so bad everyone was hoping for another fake assassination to escape.
Reform are claiming that the Metropolitan Police’s investigation into the legality of their funding/donors is politically motivated. Straight out of the fascist playbook.

25 July 1903 | A Czech Jewish woman, Anna Goldmannová, was born in Dobříč. She was deported to #Auschwitz from #Theresienstadt Ghetto on 18 December 1943. She did not survive.
Every republican that allows this to continue should be held liable for intent to commit treasonous acts.
We need more equality in our tax system, we need to end the exemptions and loopholes that have bloated our tax code to around 3,000 pages long - a simple one size fits all for income, however generated, would raise a significant extra sum of tax. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
The headline sounds bad, like it's designed to trigger a 'Labour punishing the motorist' reaction. The actual story: 'Andy Burnham’s new VAT cut on electricity set to take effect from October could drive the cost of charging an electric car on your driveway down to as little as 1.52p per mile'. 🤔
New PM, same old media: Burnham is now simultaneously being accused of spending money he hasn't got on the policies he announces *and* not spending enough money on the policies he announces.
