Madame Defarge

Anyone else losing the will to live waiting for the actual World Cup draw to take place?

I’ve had to mute the telly while all this FIFA peace prize b*llocks is on. I’ll unmute once we get to the actual purpose of this shenanigans and we find out who’s playing who.

Yes, 2012 is a good choice. A year when everyone felt united. Happier times.

Ditching the whole ‘special relationship’ narrative would be a good start.

How anyone can think that he deserves a chance to run the country is utterly beyond me.

Brought to you by the same people

Just copying his idol in the US 🙄

Can someone explain to the Reform woman that gas is a finite resource? Seeing as she seems to enjoy patronising other people, why not open the sentence with,” You do understand that…”?

What is the point of her?

Having seen the capitulation of the Republicans in the US to Trump in order to save their own political skins, the answer to your question is ‘No’.

Keeps him in a job though, doesn’t it? All that chatter.

No-one should be surprised. Trump backs Netanyahu and Putin, both of whom perpetrate war crimes regularly. All three think they are above the law. In Israel’s case, this puts their citizens at greater risk, just as it will with America.

‘Project Fear’, they said. ‘Project Reality’, we said.

This is the most alarming story I’ve read today. Giving up the fight before it’s started

Can we coin a new term - ‘Kemisplaining’?
It’s like mansplaining but with even more condescension and smugness

Like Piers Morgan is ever going to admit that he might be wrong about anything?

Yes. I’m predicting much sympathetic nodding, little interruption and zero challenge.

I’d say to Madeleine,” Do you understand how this country’s pension system works?”
Although I suspect Madeleine may already be in receipt of her pension, so the point might well go over head.

Excellent choice

The word you’re looking for is ‘grotesque’

They know.

Thought exactly the same the other day when pundits were analysing the budget, and discussing the market’s reactions.

Oh God! Fiona’s just told us #bbcqt is coming from Dover next week, with a focus on immigration 🙄 Think I’ll give that a miss

No idea. Never heard of them either. Which is a blessing, as I wouldn’t be going anywhere near them with that Johnson bloke in charge

Wot? No Reform representative on #bbcqt Was no-one available this week? Funny, that 🤔

Every Kitty Helps

Laura Trott didn’t seem to think it’s fair to expect her to contribute to the upkeep of roads 🙄 #politicslivr

What a charmer. Just the type of person you’d want as a councillor. Not.

Northumberland Reform councillor ordered to pay £38,000 debt to his own council — Chronicle Live Barry Elliott, a Reform councillor in the Blyth ward of Newsham, appeared in court on Tuesday in relation to more than £38,000 worth of council tax and business rates owed to Northumberland County Cou...

No wonder these Reform-led councils are in trouble when their own councillors are dodging their council taxes

My thoughts exactly. And justifying it by telling them that it was down to Anas Sarwar requesting it just reeks of cronyism.
