At some point someone in the British government has to hit back at Musk. If he was just some rich guy, fine - whatever. Enjoy your drugs. But he is a leading figure in the incoming US administration. Is our policy now that foreign governments can speak this way about us without any consequence?

Correct.

Under no circumstances ignore Elon Musk.

It's like ignoring a fire in your home. It won't simply go away.

Three new years resolutions the Labour need to make.

1) recognise that their support for Israel was wrong, and call for an immediate end to the genocide

2) recognise that to fix the NHS we need to fix NHS pay and end privatisation.

3) admit we need to tax the wealthy and increase investment

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025

The government has so far offered no timetable for key pledges:

❌700,000 urgent dental appts
❌Dental Contract Reform

Spent NYE cleaning my entire house, removing the tree and alphabetically arranging my vinyl collection. I sang along to In Rainbows so loudly I scared the fuck out of the cat. Now I’m about to drink an Earl Grey. Thug life.

Love you all.
