Kemi Badenoch’s spokesman has decided to give the usual Tory post-PMQs briefing a miss.

Keir Starmer’s (political) spox tells waiting reporters: “I’m not sure I’d want to follow that either”.

Quick question… 🙋🏻‍♀️

Don't know the original source but so very accurate.

Sam - how about putting on subtitles - I find it helps with my memory!

Since 2017, the energy produced by Ireland’s newly built wind farms has been taken up by data centres and we are buying even more energy from the UK than ever. Ireland is running to stand still and ruining our beautiful country by taller and taller turbines. Have you a view on this?

Just remember that the same people who are offended by Sadiq Khan being knighted were perfectly happy when Jacob Reed Mogg was knighted and people like Toby Young, Charlotte Owen, Ruth Fox, Therese Coffey, and Shaun Bailey were put in the House of Lords. Ignore them.

Trump's funeral

It is a huge relief to know that President Biden will be able to give Jimmy Carter the state funeral he so deserves.

There are far too many climate protestors in jail right now full stop. The case of Gaie Delap is particularly egregious, her wrists are too small for an electronic tag. Surely some trust could be applied, or an ankle version (the wrist one perhaps might fit her ankle?).

Is that the military personnel that didn’t have heel spurs and a rich daddy, oh Trumpy boy?

In December 2017, Congress voted on a bill to combat human sex trafficking.

The bill passed the Senate unanimously.

The bill passed the House, 418 to 1.

The 1 "no" vote was Matt Gaetz.

Gee, what a surprise the GOP wanted to suppress the report on Gaetz, an elected official, but had no problem releasing a report on Hunter Biden, someone who has never held office.

Thames Water fined £18m over dividends but granted 35% bills hike by 2030 The ruling falls well short of a 59% bills hike requested by the troubled water company, as it tries to secure a bailout from investors.

Thames Water fined £18.2m for 'unjustified' £131.3m dividend to shareholders.

At the same time OFWAT allows Thames to hike customer bills by 35%.

Capital raised from customers who will own nothing, shareholders will get returns.

Privatisation is a scam.

Sickening. For the love of the good that's left, build a memorial hospital if you think you need to spend that much.

This is what I would have preferred to see.

I came home from work tonight and fed the dogs, unaware that my husband had popped home and fed them earlier.

Did they tell me this? Did they fuck, the fat bastards.

So TIME Magazine is putting convicted felons and adjudicated rapists on their cover now?

How disgraceful.

Mood.

Two-Tier Reporting: When Climate Protesters Slow Ambulances They’re Vilified, So Why Are Wealthy Farmers Given a Free Pass? Media outlets rush to condemn climate change campaigners as "middle class" protesters causing "chaos" while ignoring greater disruption by millionaire landowners

Remember all the outraged coverage about a handful of climate protesters slowing ambulances a few years back?

Well it turns out that wealthy farmers doing exactly the same thing on a much bigger scale is absolutely fine
