And there we are - yet again.

Brexit will keep doing damage until we can get free of its inherently restrictive nature— ie get back into Single Market at least, but preferably full membership of the EU.

The "People who are calling for a ceasefire don't have an answer for how to deal with Hamas" line annoys me because people calling for indiscriminate bombing certainly don't either -- they are just pretending to, even though their solution is counterproductive.

So, Boris Johnson is going to do a show on GB ‘news’.
How laughable.

He picked this destiny when he picked Brexit. From then on, he was set to become the squalid pied piper of the rightwing moon-howlers. So that’s all he is now. And it’s exactly what he deserved.

Look at this intellectual packet soup thinking he can lecture Rachel Reeves on how to write.
Every day, this country has to deal with the abject failure of this jumped-up little-Englander-opportunist. And STILL he thinks his gobbets of dulldom are worth airing.
Make him go away.

Reskeet if you've ever:
- self-harmed
- attempted suicide
- been to a therapist
- cancelled on things because you don't have the energy to live
- lied about being okay
- had a panic attack in a public bathroom

the world needs to know how common these things are.
