Blair knew this.

Pre Thatcher UK is not a thing anywhere in the world. It wasn’t a path to a prosperous Britain, but a corpse being propped up by a conspiracy between politicians who wanted an easy life, and unions who pulled most of the strings.

I would never think that….

😮

Elected? (Shudder) Appointed by a legal council?? Civil service appointed (government by back door) there’s no good way. Is there?

That’s it.

Opinion | Six surgeons general: It’s our duty to warn the nation about RFK Jr. We took an oath to declare dangers when we found them. We’re doing that again today.

"Never before have we issued a joint public warning like this."

The latest from former U.S. surgeons general Jerome Adams, Richard Carmona, Joycelyn Elders, Vivek Murthy, Antonia Novello and David Satcher:

Don't forget that 41 Tory MPs in the last government took Russian donations. That might account for media reticence to report on the Nathan Gill case.

Governor notices what the rest of the world has been gawping at in disbelief for 7 months!

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

If only there had been a way to avoid this. It’s a poser…..

…..I wonder if Farage or Johnson have anything to say?😂

I may not be able to avoid interactions with AWS, but can and do avoid Amazon.

You are probably too young to remember when all buses were operated by Manchester Corporation Larry, in a standard livery,
including the remaining trolley bus fleet. Liverpool, Chester & other cities had the same schemes. Liverpool were dark green & Chester maroon & cream.

Thank you for thinking that. But I did move to Manchester in my early 20’s.

I remember SELNEC buses. But I don’t remember the colour.

This might get me kicked off Bluesky. But. The trans “debate” always looks like men shouting at women because they’re outraged at being excluded from a club.

It’s like having a bunch of 19th C explorers / anthropologists visiting our city….
….they’re very bold. 😂

Goody-bag merch from Tory Conference branded "When Labour negotiates Britian loses" and signed "Kemi Badenoch".

It helps to be able to spell the country you say only you are competent enough to run.

After a trip across Ukraine on trains that keep running in spite of Russian air raids, nothing says welcome home quite like those three magical words:

Rail Replacement Bus

Farage wants to bring this to our country! How can we resist?

Fort Sumter?

I can’t understand why ordinary Republicans aren’t showing some solidarity with people being victimised. Are they all monsters?

They don’t even see the problem. This is how far right politics has moved in 10 years.

I am a Thatcher voting / Blair voting centrist. I now seem like a radical leftist vis a vis Starmer’s Labour.

And yet serious people give her head space. I’m all for “close your eyes and she’ll go away” - it would certainly be true if enough of us did.

I’ve just had the realisation that the next time I sit in the garden for breakfast will probably be March!

I am suddenly deeply unhappy.

I love the idea that elite University students need an “escape”!

How out of touch do you need to be to think “let’s tell people about it” is a great idea?

She does know that she is black?

I’m starting to think she’s missing something.

Those who the gods would destroy …,

All I can say is, the gods have it in for the Tories!

😂😂😂

On the one hand I’m annoyed that drone sightings can turn off our ability to travel. On the other hand. We fly too much (guilty!) and anything that makes it less convenient has to be a motivation to change habits.

This is all authors.

Unless we post about our books, you don't know they exist.

And unless happy readers recommend us, our books die.

And we don't eat.

There is no "marketing dept". Algorithms favour the megastars, so they're no help.

Anyway. I'm sorry for being repetitive. I have no option.
