If you're going to be part of King Donald the Mad's security detail, you'd better have anosmia (no sense of smell).
The Mail are attacking someone for a 'man of the people' act and somehow it isn't the privately educated city trader who became a career politician and receives £5 million gifts and £2m in side hussles, but likes to pose with pints of beer he never drinks.
Just a reminder to everyone: join a trade union. And if you're already a member, please be active. Vote, volunteer, become a rep or an officer. You are the union. The larger the union membership the more strength and agency we have.
No one cares because they know on a conscious or sub conscious level that they are trying to please racists (from newspaper editors down) for whom the problem is not the flow but the stock
Sunder Katwala (sundersays)@sundersays.bsky.social · 3w agoOne day, somebody in government will notice what the net migration level is hesding to. The fiscal forecast (£24 billion) was based on average net 235k to 2026-29 but that is at least 100k too high, costing £13 billion, or double that if want to reduce immigration visas further.
It's a good job this guy isn't fash, because he is far and away the best political operator I have ever seen.
Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani@mayor.nyc.gov · 3w agoWe experienced one of the tournament’s biggest moments side by side. Joy and connection should not be scarce resources. Every New Yorker deserves to have their dignity affirmed.
Furious that Chris Nolan would disregard historical accuracy in adapting The Odyssey by making a "movie" with "cameras" instead of memorizing the entire story and then going on a nationwide tour to sing it to us while tripping on ergotized barley
I have a lot of friends who work in hospo who could all use the extra cash England in the finals would generate. Sadly that is my only interest.
The shortage of interstate truck drivers in the USA is entirely due to the advent of the cellphone making it a much less attractive job option for serial killers.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 3w agoTrump claims that "illegal alien truck drivers are killing a lot of people," so instead his administration is going to "replace them with proud American veterans. We're gonna take our veterans, we're gonna teach them a lot about driving trucks."
[boldly] I just don't think the British government needs to have Shabana Mahmood in it, I think we managed fine without her and we can just keep going without her, it's fine, Andy Burnham doesn't need to find a space for her in cabinet, there are other MPs
6 seventeen year old boys in my front room for the football. They crushed my Mild Italian Salad bag in the fridge, with their cans. I'm trying to get over it.
Someone on the radio just said the ubiquity of hand carwashes could be a sign of labour oversupply. No mate, it's a sign of drug money in need of laundering oversupply 😂
Taylor Swift is the absolute fuckin' bee's bollocks! Fight me.
God is there anything worse in this world than a royal cameo in the #Archers?
40⁰ today in the Cévennes. I don't think I've ever felt so aware of climate change while away on holiday. And never so angry and anxious that there are those who deny it and are trying to thwart efforts to tackle it.
Spent years building up a big following on Twitter, essential for publicising my aviation blog, which I live from. Desperate to leave it & publicise on nicer platforms, but I have too few follows. If you want to help me escape, do give this a share. Much obliged. My blog here: hushkit.substack.com
Obvious AI. His real children mostly wouldn't want to be that close to him.
Parody Nigel Farage@parodypm.bsky.social · 2mo agoFather's Day was always a difficult time for Boris Johnson.
Wow, Nick Robinson really can't get enough of Steve Hilton, soon to be defeated gubernatorial candidate for California. I wonder when he'll be interviewing Becerra, the almost certain winner.
Also, now that the PM had instituted National Teenagers' Bedtime, can he also pop round and get mine to stop painting Warhammer figures and asking for a fifth dinner at 10pm?
83% of British people are white 87% of MPs are white 92% of Police officers are white 94% of the House of Lords are white 85% of Britains richest families are white But yeah, white people are the real victims of race descrimination.
Just chopped out a line with my Senior Railcard. Ageing gracefully.
