Well, it's a good job that the Mail doesn't have a history of backing the very worst people in history - because if they had, I'd completely ignore that headline.

Liz Truss should be defunded. As a former ( disastrous ) Prime Minister - Truss is on £130,000 pension each year for the rest of her life, courtesy of the hapless UK taxpayer.

Some very exciting news.

I’m opening a children’s bookshop!

Follow @spyglassbooks.bsky.social for updates. And if you’re in Edinburgh come to our pop-up in December to say hello and to support our budding business 👋

#Edinburgh #Booksky
Hello, world!

We are a new children’s bookshop which will open its doors in Edinburgh in 2026.

Much work is going on behind the scenes to make it happen, but in the meantime we are doing a pop-up to introduce ourselves to our lovely city and its community.

So Wes Streeting allies want him to become Prime Minister - for the Labour Government to tank even faster.

We don't have time to play these silly games - people are suffering now.

Keep growing the alternative - they need replacing.

Morgan McSweeney despises the left, this why Starmer’s Labour Party was ‘changed’, and why they are in hoc to corporate donations and corporate infiltration of government.

Cheers!

We don't have to agree on absolutely everything.

But want lower bills? Think billionaires should pay more tax?

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

This is the Royal equivalent of the amputation of a gangrenous limb to stop the rest of The Firm getting infected.

An act of self-preservation.

If it was integrity, then they'd have booted Andrew out years ago.

They didn't.

● Andrew Windsor remains 8th in the line of succession.

●King Charles III will privately fund his new living arrangements despite Andrew being very rich indeed

● Actually we don't know how wealthy Andrew is because his mother's will is sealed for 90+ years

● Sleep well serfs.

● Know your place.

Only 29 asylum appeals have been made to the ECHR in the last 45 years you dimwit. For that non-existent benefit you would sacrifice the right to life, liberty, fair trial, freedom of expression, thought, religion, protection from torture, slavery, etc.

It's easy for Danny Kruger to talk about massive cuts to the civil service, because he's an entitled prick who's never had a proper job and has zero idea what government workers actually do. Everything seems easy when you know fuck all.
