There is a man eating a PRAWN COCKTAIL for breakfast on a packed train. I can't tell if I'm impressed or horrified. Leaning towards both

The Reform pitch is increasingly “the last government was terrible, so we’ve hired everyone who was in it”.

Jenrick saying he's "put aside personal ambition" too join Reform is the single most shameless statement I've ever heard.
If he "put aside personal ambition" he'd disappear. That's all there is.

I think it's very important that Rupert Lowe's "Million Nonce March" gets widespread media coverage. Critical to amplify diverse voices.

An actor friend used to add whatever skill was needed in any role he was up for - jugglind, dressage, archery - saying he'd "pick it up en route" if he got the job.
I think of him a lot when I look at social media. Last month's forensic handwriting experts are Latin America specialists this week.

AOC: I think there's two things that are happening at once: One, there absolutely is an unprecedented abuse of power, destruction of norms, erosion of our government and our democracy in order to prop up an authoritarian style of governance

It's a shame that some as mediocre as Charlie Kirk will be remembered in perpetuity as the flash point for fascism in the second millennium.
It’s perfect that the first MAGA martyr is a ghoulish mediocrity comprised of nothing but hate and grift. Instead of trying to invent a noble, decent Kirk that didn’t exist they should lean into that quintessence of MAGA

Anyone got a list of Charlie Kirk quotes? Apparently some people are getting really upset seeing what he actually had to say

This happened in full view of Sky News cameras and a bunch of police just standing there. Why is THIS not on the news all day? Why don't we show people what these thugs are turning the country into? I could only find it on the far right TikTok page that proudly boasted about the incident. SHARE!

Mad, the contrast between 2 democratic law makers getting shot Vs Kirk getting shot. It's like people think this was the first political shooting since the attempt on trump and it only happens to the right

NOTHING will prepare you for this 45-second story arc. From "I'm just doing this because I love the flag, it's totally grassroots, and I'm not part of anything political"... to who actually gave him the flags the night before.
Anyone who believes it is an innocent movement needs to see this.

It feels like more and more problems could be solved by ID cards.
"Too many illegal migrants" - id cards
"Age verification online" id cards
"Voter id" well that ones obvious but you get the idea
