Basically admitting they need to introduce new taxes or have continually failing public services. And then not even go near the very idea of wealth taxes.

Not only cos I was twatted by a falling rocket in my own back garden last night but fireworks on general sale to the public needs banning asap. Licences granted to a small number of pyrotechnics experts only, with stringent vetting, training and certification protocols.

Tells us a lot that this trans woman and nurse was using female changing facilities for four years before some of her colleagues had such a problem with it that they’ve taken it to tribunal.

“With too many voters gone over to Reform, I know, let’s try and scrape back the many more voters who’ve already gone over to Greens because grubby little posts like this are bound to work, aren’t they?”

Each of the UK’s billionaires makes on average 5 times the median British salary per day. But no. Let’s tax ordinary workers because it’s easier to tell them to fuck off than is to tell 156 billionaires to fuck off.

Being bold and radical - with demonstrable political will and a viable story - would have gone some way towards allaying disappointment and thus keeping in check their plummeting popularity. Labour with their current leader are seriously incapable of carrying that off.

It’s as if this bloke didn’t single-handedly add 400 quid a month to everyone’s mortgage.

The moment when the primary school headteacher announces to the PTA the gobbiest, pushiest most pain in the arse parent that their little darling won’t be getting a key role in the Nativity play this year.

Yesterday’s hilly trail run. 10 miles easy/steady over and around Roseberry, Cook’s Monument & Kildale. Although worryingly, another autumn of being bone dry under foot for the time of year. #runchat

Govt ministers saying the WMP’s decision is based solely on the nationality and religious beliefs of visiting supporters. That is not the case here and amounts to gaslighting. By interfering, Govt are inadvertently upping the anti here and riling all the wrong idiots in the process.

I never knew how exactly I’d benefit from possessing a veteran’s ID card. I want to be in a society where everybody benefits well and equally from public services regardless of what they used to do for a living.

I don’t buy or read Private Eye as much as I should. This will be well worth reading, especially if you’re from round these parts. #Teesside

I wish it didn’t grate me as much cos life’s too short but what fucked-up country we are when the people who spent 14 years ripping the fabric of society to shreds are afforded so much credibility after the event, while millions of us still endure the consequences.

If only - like the rest of us - he had access to 24/7 coverage of blatant crimes against humanity and war crimes then perhaps he might not see the need for a debate.

For the sake of your friends, neighbours, colleagues and even the woman who brings your grandad his tea every night disappearing at the hands of masked thugs, thank fuck the Tories are an irrelevant figment of history who’ll never be in a position to bring this in.

“OK, yeah. I can understand the multi-billionaire bit but that haircut? What the fuck were you thinking there?”

I wonder what it is about smooth-running, accessible, well resourced public services that the very richest in our society don’t like. 🤔

Not unlike Andy’s self-promotion, he’s only about 4 years too late to this one.

This little shit of a 16yo joined up 40 years ago today. 14 from this group of 37 made it through training. Only me and one another lad did a full 24-year stint.
