@newsagents.bsky.social love the Newsagents but Lewis is sooo wrong about Farage in his latest podcast. Farage has reached the point where he could say black was white and his followers wouldn’t bat an eye. He knows, in a first past the post system, he can win as the remainder of the vote is split.

It's not that the kid is wrong, it's that he's wrong with utter and serene confidence. When people ask me why I wrote The Death of Expertise, it wasn't ignorance that compelled me to write, it was this kind of unbreakable, completely self-assured ignorance that did it.
Lololol @samseder.bsky.social has to very slowly explain to this dude that government agencies don't pay taxes lolol

I’m inclined to think that people no longer refer to the ‘Reform Party’ but, correctly, refer to the ‘Quisling Party’ instead.

Home Secretary Braverman took seven months to even respond to the Jay Report, then vaguely promised "action" on 19 of the 20 recommendations and dismissed Yvette Cooper asking for details.
Recommendations actually implemented?

Now, Braverman is rending her garments. Rank hypocrisy. ~AA

A total shitshow.
But no…
Let’s not talk about it
Let’s not face up to how the Tories ballsed up an already idiotic idea
Let’s not fix the ruinous consequences of turning prejudice and ignorance into policy
Let’s just slide into a perma-state of resentful crappiness and ‘move on’.
FFS.

@thetimes.com ridiculous story about musicians and ‘cancel culture’. Is P Diddy a victim of cancel culture or a monstrous sexual predator?

It’s so cold outside that my car’s tire pressures have been running low. Fortunately, my building’s garage features an “amenity bay” with a service-station-quality air pump.
Unfortunately, someone has decided to use the bay as a personal parking spot.
Why would anyone do that?

Nothing says legitimate organic Right Wing uprising in the UK like a meaningless petition that gets retweeted by a foreign billionaire with 200 million followers on the platform he controls.
But wait til you hear where the signatures are coming from!

Foreign Billionaire tweets about a pointless UK petition to his 200 million followers, twice in 3 hours and the Right Wing get super excited that the signups are an organic show the “will of the people”🙄
