labour being tory-lite seems to be a tad pointless so why not try being labour for the time they have left in power. They have an opportunity, time to use it to do some good.

malala yousafzai won the Nobel Peace Prize having survived an attack by a paramilitary gunman terrorising a vulnerable population. The ultimate controller of that force did not. The innocents being terrorised in the US should be nominated, not those who rejoice in the injustice and inhumanity.

at least on X and Facebook you know you’re being manipulated by an algorithm. As with Brexit, the attention and platform given to stoke negativity to, in turn, gain more attention from other outlets is infuriating. β€œon Question Time tonight Mr Farage stated that *insert racist garbage*”

in the end the economics will drown out the politics. Coal is the past, it was a crucial part of industrialisation but it’s time is coming to an end. You cannot fuel the future with a limited resource and, hopefully soon, the ability of the coal industry to buy political favour will end.

when you cancel a disney subscription, you get to put the reason for doing so.

anyone that gets that heated and can’t answer with a sentence of less than 10 words is lying or making shit up.

at this point β€˜thoughts and prayers’ are the equivalent of the β€˜dog ate my homework’. I think they should post pictures of themselves on their knees actually praying if they are going to say it. At least make it true rather than a euphemism for β€˜sucks to be you’.

the policies heard are all on a spectrum.
labour is now tory or reform-lite. β€˜We’re going to deport orphans’ will get covered. β€˜We’re going to work with other developed nations to focus on the causes of migration so people have a future where they are.’

if you were a powerful person then Epstein wanted you in his orbit & Maxwell targeted vulnerable girls for grooming & exploitation.

Political leanings aren’t what defines the men that engaged in child exploitation, it’s their immorality and sense of power.

Expose them all & let the chips fall.

As Yancey County prepares to exit its regional public library system because of LGBTQ+ content, the Library Branch Manager provided the statement below. Worth a read.

Carolina Public Press has the latest on one last attempt to stop the exit: carolinapublicpress.org/71307/last-d...

You are blessed to have her in your life, no doubt. I’m ashamed to say it took me 25 years of listening to my husband’s snoring, nightmares, choking etc before I got him a foam wedge to sleep on and fixed it on day 1. oops, my bad
