Really struck today by how many of the people most responsible for the Brexit shitshow were actively rewarded for their stupidity/dishonesty. Knighthoods, Damehoods, peerages, newspaper columns, seats in the House of Commons… It’s a mark of how deep the rot has gone into the fabric of our society.

Imminent ceasefire, but they just want to cram in a few more deaths before it's implemented.
They won't know what to do with themselves if they can't murder anymore.

King Charles took one of his two helicopter's on his visit to one of the two food banks that he opened.
These two helicopters cost 20x as much as the Food Banks.
And you pay for it all.

The Conservatives target Khan because racists disproportionately hate him (or at times just because they’re also being racist, eg 2016 mayoral election). Right wing media target him for the same reasons. Then someone at the BBC coughs awkwardly and suggests they follow up the Mail/Tel stories

Here are a number of past examples (snapshots taken from her Twitter account) from back when she used to try and make electoral hay from their plight.
But now Labour are in power, hypocrisy is the order of the day.
