If Badenoch was 14 or 15 it wasn't an external exam. It was an internal test. A simple word with the teacher at the end would have been more than sufficient.
To be proud of the fact that catching a child cheating in a school test resulted in their expulsion is appalling.

This took me a few tries as it is not an easy thing for to soeak about. However, it feels necessary as this administration begins to erase us from history, and once again, play the victim of some giant “hoax”.
I mispronounce Maxwell’s name, but this take was as good as I could get

Wonder who would win a "dim off" between Chris Philp and Matt Vickers?

They are talking about a budget deficit of £50bn and taxing you more is the only way to fill it.

Getting rid of Brexit would gain the UK £200bn a year revenue and about £42bn for the tax man

Taxing the rich at the same 47% rate you have to pay when you work, would raise £250bn

After the call to boycott M&S because they employ Trans people they have seen record business.

The Right's attempt to cancel people only increases their profits, or donations like the RNLI.

30 hours of government-funded childcare from September, saving parents up to £7,500 a year.

opening a new wave of school-based nursery provision this autumn

two million breakfasts in new free breakfast clubs,

lifting 100,000 children out of poverty.

Better with Labour 👍

Trans people aren’t the issue, immigrants aren’t the issue. Your life is shit because of billionaires, who brainwash you into hating or blaming scapegoats so you won’t turn on them.

If you buy their bullshit, well done, you’re about as intellectually advanced as a medieval serf.

Russia needed the bombings on their oil refineries to stop because that’s been hurting them bad. My guess is that Putin promised Witkoff he would stop bombing apartment buildings for a month to buy time to beef up air defense systems around refineries and delay sanctions again.

The stories we tell matter. I know this not from watching but from memory. I was just a child, held behind barbed wire in a U.S. internment camp, when an atomic bomb obliterated Hiroshima—killing members of my family.

BREAKING: The US government has just removed sections 9 and 10 of Article I of the US Constitution from their website.

Note that sections 9 and 10 deal with:

- Writ of Habeas Corpus
- Congresses ability to control tariffs.

See screenshot below: Notice that 9 and 10 are gone.

In case you missed it ...
Here's Elmar Brok, former Chairman of the EU Parliament Committee on Foreign Affairs, confirming in 2017 that it would be "easy" for an independent Scotland to join the EU because it already fulfils the criteria. In other words: "There would not be much to negotiate."

Racism is a tool of the rich, to make you think it is that other poor person with different coloured skin keeping you poor, and not the rich person blatantly robbing you.

If he's somehow allowed to run again, there's only one suitable candidate to run against him: BARACK OBAMA.

Ghislaine Maxwell is not the only person who can provide information about the Epstein files. Rather, she is the only one who can exonerate Trump.

Some quiet changes that are targeting the wealthy and creating lots of angst in the media. Labour are focused on equality and moving the benefits to ordinary people. What’s not to like?
