I don't give a damn about Reform's internal investigation into the sting. I am 100% interested in what the police and legal system are going to do about it. And they need to do it fast.

Why on earth would Reform UK think promising £80 billion pounds of cuts in public spending would be appealing to anyone other than literal drooling idiots! We have had austerity and it's skinned this country. We need to spend money to save our souls right now. They are the stupid party.
According to BBC News web site, The Netherlands has removed most of its gold reserves from USA and Canada and it's now stored in the Bank of England! Apparently it's easier to trade here in a crisis. They cite Geopolitical uncertainty. I'm not sure if I should worry about what this means or not?
The sound isn't working on this. But just what the **** is Trump doing threatening Britain over the Falklands? Why does he think he has a say in everything? It's time Europe did a Canada! Elbows up!! Tell him to stuff his threats Andy!
The Trump administration is threatening to withdraw support for Britain over its claim on the Falkland Islands. UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham is subsequently being pressured to increase military spending. But, why the Falklands?

Such a shock. I haven't been into my unit during office hours for 2 weeks due to other stuff. I've been here evenings. I just came in around 5pm. Drove into the yard and there were no lorries. It's Friday, they should all have been here. Walked round and found the manager of Watson's Transport ...

I have been clenching my teeth in my sleep due to stress I suppose. I have a new night guard but I've managed to over ride that and clench the guard instead. Today my left jaw muscle has gone into a spasm. It's really painful. I can't open my mouth far. I have eaten a cheese omelette. So fed up.
I'm so tired today. Turns out that 3 days of loud music and intense sunshine and heat really does knock the stuffing out of me.
There should be blanket outrage at this. I'm not seeing it? Why? This is sub-human policy. And the people of Clacton endorsed it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
Reform proposes £50bn welfare bill cut with changes to disability payments system Pip

Looks like Karoline Leavitt didn't like being left on the decoy Airforce One. Now she thinks of her kids? She was happy to leave kid 1 behind and go lie her ass off for Trump. It's probably got nothing to do with kid 2. She's just learned, the hard way. that everyone is expendable to Trump.
So, what insanity is the forecast for tomorrow where I am? 37C!!! This is not right.
Pencils at the ready Clacton. Get yourself a better MP than you have had for the past 2 years. The costume is unusual, but the intent is genuine.
Okay Clacton. Let’s go.
For thousands of years, a solar eclipse has been a prophetic harbinger of a spectacular, epoch-making event. Just saying. #VoteBinface #Clacton
This is a really good support song for @countbinface.bsky.social Well worth a listen and a share.
I don’t want to spam you, so I promise I won’t put this up again on your feed, but it would be great to know you had a listen to this. I hope you like it. youtu.be/WfuMJOM4aCs
This is an excellent way to demonstrate to people who think we are being over run by asylum seekers etc. Visual is way better than quoting numbers at people.

This time an almost 100% serious video from Count Binface, with just a little joke here and there. He's already put Clacton on the map this summer. People the other side of the world now know about Clacton. That's what an MP is for. youtu.be/9lRA0r2G4BI?...

I SOOOO want Count Binface to win and put Farage out with the rest go the garbage. I know he probably won't, but it would be wonderful if he did. I'm sure the Count's alter ego Jonathan Harvey would make a better MP than anyone else in the running. It would be a real success for democracy in action.

This is just how I am feeling about Andy Burnham's premiership right now. Hope is a strange thing. I'd forgotten what it feels like. Jenrick is an idiot sandwich open.substack.com/pub/iandunt/...

He was asked to discuss policy like an adult and - surprise! - proved incapable of doing so.

It's absolutely disgusting that the American courts are allowing Dr Anthony Fauci to be dragged through the mud by Republicans looking to smear his name and much worse. All because he was brilliant during Covid but dared to snigger at stupid Trump after one of his idiotic outbreaks.
Bluesky attracted nice people at the start. Now all the angry politically inept armchair warriors are here shouting insults at us again. It’s so BORING! The Left are almost worse than the right. Almost.
I want to be hopeful, but I’m totally underwhelmed by an average saving of £45 a year on electricity. That’s not breathing space. And the providers loose nothing. How about a significant cut to standing charges which are money for old rope?
By the end of the day I will not know who the heck is who in cabinet. It takes a while to learn them all. Again! I'd have liked to see David Lammy kept on.
Having to listen to Chris Mason blathering on while we wait for the PM to come out of the No. 10 door is cringingly awful. Shut up! We could wait without this rubbish.
This is an excellent article by Carol Cadwalladr. Well worth a read. Reform are in it up to their eyeballs.
