Today, November 25th 2024 is the day we officially learned that justice in America, in fact, does NOT matter. #sad
The moral of the story, kids: It’s fine to try to stop the peaceful transfer of power and incite a mob to storm the Capitol and do all you can to overturn an election as long as you run again and win 🇺🇸

Yup - that’s exactly what I said.

Brexit used to be about the EU versus tales of ‘freedom’.

Brexit happened and failed.

Now Brexit has taken a desperate final form - Trump.

In him Brexiteers see salvation of their dead project.

But at least it’s now clear. The UK must choose Trump or the EU.

Reform MP James McMurdock (won his seat by 98 votes) didn't disclose his conviction for assaulting his partner before the GE

He went on to describe it as a "teenage indiscretion"

The Times now reveals he "kicked his girlfriend" repeatedly

Thoughts?

Reform UK MP jailed for 'repeatedly kicking his ex girlfriend'
He had not publicly disclosed the conviction before he was elected as an MP and downplayed the attack as a “teenage indiscretion”.

Sigh - classic fact free nonsense. ‘news’ story here totally fails to mention that Tory plans were for fines of £5k (later reduced to £3k) for each missed heat pump sale. What @Ed_Miliband has done is to reduce that to £500. Headline should read “Miliband slashes Tory boiler tax”

There is no “oven ready” trade deal with the US waiting to be signed - in fact, given the recent history of “oven ready” deals in the UK, you should be extra weary of anyone claiming that such a thing exists.

Wow. Imagine the shock for the Daily Mail when it finds out Tory plans were for fines of £5k - later reduced to £3k - for each missed heat pump sale. What Ed Miliband has done is to reduce that to £500. As @torstenbell.bsky.social says today Headline should read “Miliband slashes Tory boiler tax”

Jeremy Clarkson, who owes his fame & fortune in large part to the BBC, sneers at the brilliant @vicderbyshire.bsky.social for being ‘classic BBC’ when she uses *his own words* to describe his position.
“So it’s not about you, it’s not about your farm and the fact you bought a farm to avoid inheritance tax?”

@vicderbyshire.bsky.social speaks to Jeremy Clarkson at the farmers’ protest in Westminster where thousands of farmers are protesting the government’s inheritance tax plans.

Turns out that not vaccinating your kids has consequences, and not just for your kids either.

“The outbreak is the largest the province has seen in more than 30 years, with more than 80 per cent of the cases diagnosed in people under the age of 19”
New Brunswick measles outbreak spreads to 44 people, mostly unvaccinated children

Appreciate this may not be a universally popular opinion but the less you treat BlueSky as a crusade or cause, and the more you position it as simply a superior user experience with a better governance approach, the more sustainable the growth will be.

Jeez. Boris Johnson is now on French radio saying “We forget all this now because it was two or three years ago but when we had the pandemic, thanks to Brexit we had the chance to do the vaccinations in England much earlier”

I’ve debunked this absolute boll**** many times👇
Boris Johnson is still repeating his completely untrue claim that “Brexit saved lives” with the vaccine rollout - and he’s now doing it completely unchallenged. How many times do I have to correct this boll****

Bluesky tip for newbies: Bluesky has no real algorithm. Likes here do nothing but show the poster that you enjoyed their content.

That kindness is always going to be appreciated by creators, but if you want to help to boost something here, you have to repost it so others see it. 🙂

Two types of trade deal available with India. Unambitious, or none.

The failure of successive UK governments to recognise this has been one of the wonders of the post-Brexit period. As a demonstration of the failure to learn.

Which.... is the case for all other property owners as well. The gap between the coverage of this proposal and its reality can be seen from space.
memo to farmers protesting today, if you’re desperate to hand your farm to your offspring then give it to them while you’re still alive, panic over, so long as you live another 7 years there’s no inheritance tax
