A tweet from Joyce Carol Oates (@JoyceCarolOates) reads:
“So curious that such a wealthy man never posts anything that indicates that he enjoys or is even aware of what virtually everyone appreciates—scenes from nature, pet dog or cat, praise for a movie, music, a book (but doubt that he reads); pride in a friend’s or relative’s accomplishment; condolences for someone who has died; pleasure in sports, acclaim for a favorite team; references to history. In fact he seems totally uneducated, uncultured. The poorest persons on Twitter may have access to more beauty & meaning in life than the ‘most wealthy person in the world.’”
The tweet is written in white text on a black background, typical of X (Twitter).

This is the best takedown of Musk I’ve ever read. From a beloved author around my age no less, Joyce Carol Oates.

The CURRENT sitting MP for Clacton earns £511,000 as a presenter for GB News and took £281,000 as a brand ambassador for Direct Bullion.

So maybe sit this one out, you rancid herring.

I’ve seen on the media how pundits amusingly refer to Zack Polanski as if entirely propped up by social media & youngsters’ ‘vibes’ but to this middle aged women (who has no TikTok account) he seems the most serious political leader in sight talking about real issues with conviction and directness 🤷🏻‍♀️

What life will be like for Andrew as a commoner Former Duke of York will only have his dogs, household staff and the whistling of the wind to keep him company

The Andrew, formerly known as Prince, will only have his dogs, horses, domestic staff, the local gulf club, and the vast Sandringham estate to keep him company.

Pray for him.

Says everything about the British monarchy that they only strip Andrew of his titles and admit Virginia Guiffre was telling the truth when the poor woman is dead. Britain's most rotten institution, always was, always will be.

Hannan and Frost in the Telegraph.
Sunak in the Times.
Kwasi Kwarteng in the iPaper.
Johnson in the Mail.
Gove editing the Spectator.
Farage everywhere.
All of them shamelessly honking out their ‘Listen to me!’ garbage, as the country flails around in the unbelievable mess they’ve made.
Nauseating.

These unconscionable cuts to a vital lifeline fund for some of the most vulnerable children & young adults in England are staggering - a 60% reduction from £7.5K to just £3K per child

and even worse - these changes were introduced without consultation, warning and no evidence base

The current ‘reset’ with the EU is pathetic!
“By the government’s own estimate the reset of EU-UK trade will deliver just 0.3 per cent uplift to UK GDP by 2030 — less than one-tenth of the 4 per cent long-run hit to GDP that Brexit will cause, according to the Office for Budget Responsibility” FT

Under-fire Reform MP is not
'genuinely' racist, says Farage

Extract: 

Nigel Farage said he is "very unhappy" with a Reform MP for claiming there were too many black and Asian people in adverts, but said he did not believe that she was "genuinely racist".
The Reform UK leader said that Sarah Pochin's remarks were "ugly" and
"taken on their own could be read to be very, very unpleasant indeed".
", but he
would not be taking further action against her.
He said: "I don't like the way in which she did it. I am very unhappy with her indeed, [and] if I felt the intention was deliberately and genuinely racist.! would have taken a different course.
He said that her comments should be taken in the context of "DEl madness".
He added: *I understand the basic point, but the way she put it, the way she worded it, was wrong and was ugly, and if I thought that the intention behind it was racist, I would have taken a lot more action than I have to date." Pochin was accused of "shocking racism" by the prime minister for the re marks made on Saturday in responseto a viewer on a Talk TV phone-in. The caller had complained that the demographics of advertising "don't represent what this country looks like".
Pochin said the viewer was "absolute-ly right", adding: "It drives me mad when I see adverts full of black people, full of Asian people".
". She said: "It
doesn't reflect our society and I feel that your average white person, average white family, is not represented any more. How many times do you look at a TV advert and you think that there is not a single white person on it?"

Sir Keir Starmer said that Pochin's views were the kind that will tear our country apart*. He told the BBC that the incident *tells you everything about Reform."

He thinks we’re stupid. He relies on it. He’s relieved the media nods along. He needs the racist vote. But has to seem ‘respectable’ to persuade others. He’s angry with Pochin because she exposed what Reform really is. A party that doesn’t like seeing black or Asian people. A racist party.

Zack Polanski has said the Green Party would be open to a Referendum on the Royal Family.

Do you want a Referendum so we can vote to get rid of this monstrosity?

So the royal family’s paedophile pal remains Prince Andrew, a counsellor of state and retains but will not use the Duke of York title.

They’ve not cast him out. They’re taking us for fools.
