I presume that all these journalists and the BBC are investigating Pha Rage's dodgy Clacton house with the same diligence and verve that they are investigating Rachel Reeves.

The fall of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is no fall at all.
It comes ELEVEN years too late and has only happened as a damage limitation exercise.
We need to start having a grown up conversation about monarchy... and I'm starting it here.

Good fucking morning to everyoneβexcept Kristi Noem and her ice thugs, who were planning to raid the city of Chicago tonight during Halloween. For Godβs sake, can we just let these kids dress up, get some candy, and have a night where they donβt have to worry about this shit?

Okay, so I know this is immensely dangerous, frightening, and violent...
BUT on another level it is also just utterly hilarious in its groomed-beard-y, perfect-coiffed-y, teeth-veneered-y, hammy, pause-y, worst-ever Eastenders audition, for the part of Danny Dyer's angry vers-bottom gay brother.
The Green Party have called for Proportional Representation.
The Left have 60% of the votes.
There would never be a Right wing Government again.
Lets get it done.
The lack of moral clarity and professional responsibility is shocking in this one. Perfect fit for the Tories.

It would be added to the bills of other customers. Energy companies made Β£514bn operating profit since 2020.
No cut in their profit. Debt would be rebuilt
Nationalise energy. End profiteering
It's incredible how often this sort of thing happens.

At what point does US air travel shut down? Newark was closed for a chunk of time yesterday because of a shortage of air traffic controllers, thanks to the government shutdown.
