Is “pragmatic” the new, “grown up” word? Andy, there’s nothing “pragmatic” about drilling for more oil & gas - to even consider it with the planet literally on fire is total madness. How many times must we say it will do nothing for energy bills or security? It would be an act of utter recklessness
Burnham promises ‘pragmatic’ approach to North Sea oil and gas
PM tells reporters the government cannot ignore the energy resource ‘when people are struggling’

It is two years today since this dimwit gave us the most hilarious demonstration of karma in history.
By far the biggest problem with delegating judgement to machines is the people who own the machines can tune them towards outcomes they prefer but those who don't own anything can't. It's not the technology. It's a transfer of decision making power from rational accountable systems to capital.
⬇️ Economy down £240bn. ⬇️ Investment down 18%. ⬇️ 4000 fewer doctors in the NHS. ⬇️ £90bn less in tax revenue. 💰 All so he could pocket a few quid. He doesn't care about the working class, he is taking the country for a mug.
Nigel Farage says £5m gift a reward for Brexit campaigning
The Reform UK leader, who is facing a Commons standards probe, said he "cannot be bought by anybody".

#duboisvwardley Never seen anything like carrying wardley. To his credit he’s made of granite but the ref, his team, the doctor all let that go on too long 🙄😮 And big credit to Dubois who has loads of shit thrown his way but has a better recent resume than anyone and has his heart questioned 1/2
Morning! Let’s all do our best today not to vote for racists.
So we're all just letting Farage get away with the £5 million "gift" huh.
FACTCHECK UPDATE: No, the UK can't "be more like Norway" in the North Sea 🇬🇧 extracted most of its oil & gas after privatisation 🇳🇴 has much more left due to state stewardship 🤔Lawson spent UK windfall on tax cuts; Norway got a sovereign wealth fund www.carbonbrief.org/...
Meanwhile, in America, the Supreme Court says it’s perfectly legal to lie as a candidate, even if you’re defrauding people as part of a coup, as long as it’s an official act.
The only party in Wales to vote against making it illegal to lie on elections was Reform. Reform thinks it ok to lie. 🤥🤔
I’m sorry if my choice of words offends some people but Jim Radcliffe is a massive, divisive, off shored, thundercunt isn’t he? Seeking nothing more than disharmony and the torching of more regulation in a country that he’s deserted so he can earn even more money that he can’t spend.
Lovely hatchet job on the monstrosity that is Suella Braverman. Crace covers it all; her dishonesty, disloyalty, nastiness, incompetence, her wild vanity… and her deep stupidity. How dare these utter arses think we’d be persuaded by their swaggering nonsense. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Most of those at Monday’s event had to remind themselves that Braverman hadn’t defected long ago

Rumours abound that Reform had made offers to Darth Vader, Voldermore, Dr Evil and Blofeld this transfer window. Moves fell through as they felt they would be in the shadows of Galactico uber ghouls Braverman and Jenrick playing as a front two trying to smother the soul of the country.

I’m normally very nice. There’s just something about a geriatric paedophile dictating to the rest of the world, whilst sitting in his soiled incontinence wear, wearing a Nobel that isn’t his, that boils my piss somehow. I’m sure it will pass with that fuckers demise

Is it just possible - bear with me - just possible, that it might be possible both to have democracy and fix potholes?
Nigel Farage called Trump a “global peacemaker” who would prevent a “endless series of foreign wars” Boris Johnson said he would make the world "safe and stable" Why Trump's apologists were wrong and why those warning about the grave threat he poses were right www.adambienkov.co.uk/p/trumps-ill...
Trump's Illegal Assault on Venezuela Opens the Door to Even Darker Foreign Adventures
It's time for the President's apologists to admit that those of us warning about the grave global threat he poses were right

I wish people would actually read this stuff. I seriously think there is a scarily large number of people already brainwashed enough to be difficult to turn with, you know, reasonable thinking
Tax breaks for foreign millionaires but mass deportations for the rest. Huge austerity and NHS cuts, replacing NHS with insurance model, scrapping NetZero, workers’ rights and online safety act. And a trade war with the EU. Reform: Corrupt. Ruinous. Racist. Moronic. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...
If people admire you, they put your name on buildings. If you have to do it yourself, well… that’s different.
Oh excellent news. Brexit sovereignty strikes again. ‘Global’ Little Britain gets to plead with foreign powers not to screw us over. And foreign powers say no. We will be doing this shit for years. What an idiotically avoidable waste of our time and resources. www.farminguk.com/news/chlorin...

The bloke is absolutely mental . . . . To the extent where 99.9% of people will know who the post below is about before looking. It’s daily confirmation following years of cast iron evidence but no one dare face up to the machine behind him that props him up. 1/2
Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.
The last remnants of Fiona Bruce’s soul leave her body bit by bit each episode. The last defence of not needing a special on another topic because it’s discussed every week during a special on the topic that dominates discussion every week is peak gaslighting from her.
We deserve better than this
