Retired Engineer #FBPE Life long anti Tory and Anti fascist Tactical voter.

The poll-of-polls on 1 August had Labour 26%, Reform 24%, Tories 20%. The 2024 general election, the worst result in Tory history, delivered 24%. Two years of opposition, a new leader, a Labour Prime Minister forced from office, yet the Tory vote share has gone backwards.

It’s insane. It’s the perfect distillation of how Brexit has epically fucked the Tory party. 10 years on and they’ve binned off every sane and thoughtful member and replaced them with simpletons, liars and lunatics. All to keep the Brexit/far right myths alive.

BREAKING: Sen. Dick Durbin accuses Todd Blanche of lying under oath. He says Blanche told him in his office — with witnesses — that the slush fund was a mistake. In his confirmation hearing, Blanche denied that remark.

Booker: "Ghislaine Maxwell is sitting in the lowest possible confinement after giving no information that helped us get one more investigation started and has been silent, and the man responsible for that we're about to make the attorney general of the US ... this is farcical."

I hate this so much. Farage said this would be immigration week, and here are all the headlines talking immigration, and not positively. Could someone in power, for once, just stand up to this shit 🤬

From Stuart Greenberg: GOP Sens. John Cornyn and Thom Tillis are assholes!! If they really wanted to do the right thing, they’d use their new found power to get all the Epstein Files released before voting to advance Todd Blanche. Instead they roll over, sit up and perform on cue.

I love (“love”) how Microsoft has decided the reason no one uses copilot is becuase we just don’t know how great it is, so now when I open Word or Excel I get a bunch of example pop-ups in the corner showing me exiting basic functions I could always do, but now in the form of a question.

Awww….That idiot (aka Putain de Merde) in the White House missed the legal deadline for screwing up birthright citizenship. I liked the cartoon. I don’t care who boots him out of our country.

Did you see how Apple, Amazon Walmart and other big companies are refunding the billions of dollars they got back from the federal tariff settlement to their customers, who ultimately bore the cost of higher prices? Yea, me neither.
