Bush was a terrible president but simply impossible to imagine a Republican saying this about Pelosi or anyone else today.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

A bit more race-baiting by the Daily Express.
My cousin's kids have a Bangladeshi father, and they would confuse this journalist by only being able to speak their native languages: Welsh and English.

In a survey in the 1990s, they asked a group of people what level of income a 'super-rate' of tax should start at.
The follow-up question was, "What level of income do you expect to earn in your career?"
And it was invariably lower.

Travelled up to the Smoke today.
It really is becoming a cycling city, which fills me with joy. When I first arrived in London and rode a bike, it was considered an oddball activity.
It was too hot to use the tube today, so I took the bus. Next time, I'll just use a Lime Bike.

The majority of British people: "it was a fuck-up, can we please just move forward and repair as much damage as possible."
A tiny group of very wealthy people and the British media: "Any deviation from Brexit is heresy."

Maybe I'm being unfair, but a trade deal in which the US raises tariffs on the UK and the UK lowers tariffs...

Quick reminder that those who fought in WW2 also built the welfare state, including the NHS. I think they’d be fairly unhappy with Reform’s plans.

In the 1980s Graydon Carter, then editor of Spy (a magazine that skewered NYC high society), pulled a stunt where they sent tiny cheques to the city’s rich to see who would cash them:
$1.11, 64 cents, 13 cents.
Two people, out of 58, cashed them all. You already know who one of them is.
