Larry's Christmas never differs.
Ate it.

On the fifth day of Christmas my true love gave to me: FIVE GOLD RINGS, four calling birds, three French hens, two turtle doves, and a partridge in a pear tree. Someone check my litter tray, I think I ate some rings by mistake...

Farage banging 🇷🇺 Putin’s drum for him again. I’d missed this one regarding Russia’s novichok attack on British soil that killed a British woman.
How can anyone who considers themselves patriotic vote for him or his party?

Removal of viable food production land is the real worry.
While it's true that as the equatorial regions become unviable the higher latitudes come into play but 2 things occur - there is much less suitable land in the Southern hemisphere & in the North, the countries owning that land will change.

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.
Wild how the Fed chair saying that *entire regions of the United States* won’t be able to get a mortgage in the next decade barely registered as a news event

Dear herberts,
that vote you cast to leave the EU in 2016 has led to Britain having to go cap in hand to the US and pay 25% more for our drugs.

"Ministers have been accused of caving in to US demands to spend billions a year extra on drugs after pressure from Trump. The UK has agreed to pay 25% more for new medicines by 2035 as part of a US-UK drug deal estimated to cost an extra £3bn a year."

Not sure about Nads but Gullis-Kruger has a certain ring to it, don't you think?
If there was ever a man suited for Reform, it’s Jonathan Gullis - between him, Dorries and Kruger, the party is truly getting filled with the exact sort of politicians you’d expect.

Like a poorly illuminated Pepper's Ghost, the Brexit elephant in the room is starting to become visible:

This far down in the polls, I'd risk it all on starting the Article 49 process to rejoin the EU on economics alone.
Britain's broke & rejoining the EU fixes it.
The lamppost adorners will never come round so ignore them & focus on the rest of us who would rejoin to be substantially better-off.

New analysis by the politically neutral House of Commons library says that Brexit:
- cost the average Briton between £2,700 and £3,700
- lost the Treasury up to £90bn a year tax revenue.
