Be nice.

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

PM tells reporters the government cannot ignore the energy resource ‘when people are struggling’

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.

#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

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

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

If people admire you, they put your name on buildings. If you have to do it yourself, well… that’s different.

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.

There has never been a President that has worked as hard as me! My hours are the longest, and my results are among the best. I’ve stopped Eight Wars, saving many millions of lives in the process, created the Greatest Economy in the History of our Country, brought Business back into the United States at levels never seen before, rebuilt our Military, created the Largest Tax Cuts and Regulation Cuts, EVER, closed our open and very dangerous Southern Border, when previous Administrations were unable to do so, and created an “aura” around the United States of America that has led every Country in the World to respect us more than ever before. In addition to all of that, I go out of my way to do long, thorough, and very boring Medical Examinations at the Great Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, seen and supervised by top doctors, all of whom have given me PERFECT Marks — Some have even said they have never seen such Strong Results. I do these Tests because I owe it to our Country. In addition to the Medical, I have done something that no other President has done, on three separate occasions, the last one being recently, by taking what is known as a Cognitive Examination, something which few people would be able to do very well, including those working at The New York Times, and I ACED all three of them in front of large numbers of doctors and experts, most of whom I do not know. I have been told that few people have been able to “ace” this Examination and, in fact,
