Rwanda migrant deal: Kigali says it does not have to refund UK for axed scheme The UK paid £240m to Rwanda for the scheme, which never took off and has been scrapped by the new government.

To the surprise of pretty much no-one - Kagame laughing all the way to the bank.
Conservatives, the party of fiscal responsibility

I'm sorry but there are clearly TWO pastries there so that's just gloating

Had something like this with family members (I'm an outlier politically in my family) when Keir Mather won the Selby & Ainsty bi election.
Derisive comments about his age & lack of 'real job/life experience.'
Well, what does it say about the Cons if the constituents preferred him?

So am I alone in thinking that the day after the election results Reform in all their manifestations will start a relentless 'the election was stolen/fraudulent' narrative?

I'm genuinely expecting Reform in all it's forms to start with 'the election was stolen' the day after the result

Ordered mine on the last day - 19th - and it arrived on 27th.
Posted back the next day so hopefully it will reach them in time

God I love cous cous - no planning or forethought required, no cooking, no pans!

Ooh, thanks very much for the archive link 🙂
Massive cynical eye roll on my part that it's a Pearson 'friend' (like the 'hospital nurse' a couple of years back who was DEFINITELY going to confirm the story of a child laid on coats at St James was a 'fake')

Pet Shop Boys • Go West (Live At Brit Awards) • 1994 Pet Shop Boys выступают вживую на Брит Эвордс 1994 с шахтерским хором.

In 1994 the Pet Shop Boys were invited to perform 'Go West' at the Brit Awards.

He's taken Lord Binface's pledge to stand against him seriously

Day 3.
Get up.
Check how many more MPs have announced they're standing down overnight.

They're going to be filling the candidate lists with people on work experience.

So a couple of days ago, after his most recent reversal on the Uni visa stuff, I did wonder whether we were at a point now where most of us just point & laugh when Sunak appears or speaks.

I think we can definitively say we're there now 😂😂

Although I'm always immensely glad to see anyone criticise this Con government, I'm not sure Natalie fucking Elphicke is an asset to the Labour party

Would it be too demanding & entitled seeming of me to ask for it being a few degrees warmer as well?

No, billionaires. Rawls’ Difference Principle says that society should make the WORST OFF as well off as possible. I know it’s not an easy read but if you put the effort in most people get it eventually.

Can confirm

Hello Bluesky followers!

At the moment I've been doing roughly the kind of posting I've always done in the Other Place, but is that working, or is there anything you would like to see more or less of?

Loved the first series, I'm saving the second series till I can completely indulge myself with it
