We joke, but this is literally what has happened.
UK Sensible Centrists in 2019: "It is the absolute duty of the Labour leader to condemn every single bad Facebook post."

UK Sensible Centrists in 2026: "Not only is it very good the Labour leader isn't condemning flagrant breaches of international law it's also extremely smart."

If I was ever attacked by an alien in “alien” I’d simply close my mouth and not be infected with an egg. Seems pretty simple tbh.

now, it might seem odd that political commentators who advocated for the uk to leave the eu because of their belief in “the nation state” to be supportive of america’s annexation of venezuela, but what you have to remember is that those people didn’t actually think that, they were lying for money

They’ve got Twitter up on the big screens in Trump’s Mar-a-Lago makeshift “situation room.”

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

"Maduro is a brutal authoritarian dictator," I wisely intone, as the corrupt demented paedophile US President violating Constitutional Law while operating a gestapo and concentration camps illegally arrests a foreign leader on charges which read like they were written on a paper placemat in crayon.

Keir Starmer says he wants to establish facts by *watching Donald Trumps press conference.*

People said giving him a second state visit was a genius move of strategy - really seems to have paid off.

Special relationship - alive and kicking.

As an aside, I really hate that euphemism “kinetic action”.

somewhere in the 420s AD the third under-governor of some farflung colony gave himself an ulcer worrying for years that the rounding errors in his tax reports would eventually be uncovered by an imperial auditor who had in truth been cut in half by a visigoth a decade prior. that will not be me

"average person takes 1 dementia test per year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person takes zero dementia tests per year. Alzheimers Georg, who lives in white house & takes over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
