Who knew we were getting Forest Gump as our new PM? He'll need to keep running until the next GE to raise anywhere near enough money to fix all the things his government won't be funding.
And while this was happening Labour were flying spy planes over Gaza providing real time intelligence to facilitate the mass killing of civilians. www.theguardian.com/world/2026/s...

All the politicians who called for the head of West Midlands chief constable for keeping racist football hooligans off the streets of Birmingham are strangely silent about Kent's chief constable allowing fascists to set up road blocks in Dover.

So let me get this straight. The government wants us to stockpile food in homes at risk of being burnt down and flooded, in case they get burnt down or flooded. Because they have no strategy for mitigation or adaptation beyond "You're on your own mate, deal with it."
This is insane. Just two of the UKs planned data centres will emit more carbon that ExxonMobil’s UK operations. At 2C of global warming 2 billion people die at 3C 4 billion die. These data centres are incompatible with human and a habitable planet. share.google/LhM52cx7t4Ww...

Britain is going to go to COP31 in November and demand a global ban on disposable BBQ's to halt global warming isn't it? 🤔
Imagine being PM at pivotal moment in human history. Having the opportunity to show bold and decisive leadership as humanity stares into the abyss of climate collapse. And the best you can come up with is asking retailers for a voluntary ban on disposable BBQ's. FFS.
Sod the eclipse, I'm more interested in seeing it rain again!
Just think kids when you decide to pass the time breaking into a billionaire's doomsday bunker, to eat its inhabitants, by chatting about the summer of 26, no one will believe it was that cool back then.
Think I'm going to give the remake of Billy Elliott a miss. He'll have a Kestrel on his arm next.
The biggest threat to capitalism is people who have enough time,and energy to engage in critical thinking. That's why the entire capitalist system is designed to ensure you're engaged in a constant struggle for survival and continually stressed out and exhausted.
Imagine valuing our national parks so little they have to do this to survive. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Call me old fashioned, but I much preferred football when it was a game of two halves and half-time was barely long enough for the manager to swear at the players and throw teacups round the dressing room.
The real driver for the West's obsession with increasing military spending is climate change. It's about holding back the millions of climate refugees and keeping a lid on dissent at home while taking what capital needs by force until the whole edifice collapses around us.
Tuchel admits late substitutions cost England the game.
In a few thousand years from now archeologists will uncover the looted remains of the billionaires doomsday bunkers and marvel at the stupidity of those who thought they could wait out the climate chaos they unleashed and the even greater stupidity of those who let them.
