Hard to see how any country can retain its dignity when its Prime Minister is so scared of doing anything which might upset Elon Musk.

Worth saying out loud: Foreign mass murdering criminals like Trump and Netanyahu are given state visits and welcomed with open arms while British citizens are jailed and criminalised for holding up placards protesting against genocide.

Lovely evening spent with Favourite Child in the boozer. Discussing politics - legacy of Thatcher/Blair/austerity etc. At one point FC declares, “Christ Mum, you’re sooooo old - you’re a relic from another era”.

FATHER KEIR:
Well, well, well!

Look at all these letters of membership cancellation!
ELF REEVES:
More than ever this year

“Dear Father Keir
I am writing to cancel my Labour Party membership…”
Awww how sweet

“I have truly believed for 40 years, but now I’ve had enough.”

“Please please please this year can you deliver some policies that aren’t craven right wing bullshit?”

FATHER KEIR:
Well, I think we know what to give this good boy don’t we?
Elf Mahmood!

Do we have any performatively cruel immigration stuff left?
9
ELF MAHMOOD:
We've got ‘stealing their belongings and a 20-year wait for settled status’…?

Bafflingly there are still people out there in the world who think being passionate about nature is “kind of weird”. or “a niche interest”. These people have it all wrong. Nature isn’t some quirky sideline to the main business. It IS the main business. Nature is us.

When it hits -5 emergency accommodation is provided. Imagine what kind of similarly cold bureaucratic mind came up with that metric.
The UK is a bizarre country where its seen as just fine & normal for people to sleep in tents in the freezing cold. Temperatures to hit -4 this week
But the idea Billionaires could be less rich. Not poor, not struggling, just a bit less rich, this is seen as extreme and radical
