'Gripper' actually relates to the way he held a pen, as he scratched an X where it said 'write name'.
True story.

Only for the US president to say in ten-years time - "Yeah, the Brits didn't really go anywhere near the front line." Fook that!
(It'll probably still be Trump in ten years time)

This is well worth a listen. Particularly for people singing the praises of the place. Although it's a global issue, young African women being trafficked into a hellish existence seems to be a problem that is particularly acute in Dubai.

Matt Walsh @MattWalshBlog Remember when they spent years telling us to panic over the hole in the ozone layer and then suddenly just stopped talking about it and nobody ever mentioned the ozone layer Derek Thompson @DKThomp What happened is scientists discovered chlorofluorocarbons were bad for the ozone, countries believed them, the Montreal Protocol was signed, and CFC use fell by 99.7%, leading to the stabilization of the ozone layer, perhaps the greatest example of global cooperation in history.

We are seriously concerned that many Muslim women were prevented from voting for the famously racist and anti-Muslim Reform party.

"The former British home secretary and Buddhist daughter of a Kenyan descendant of Goan Catholics, and a Mauritian Hindu descendent of Tamil, born in Harrow, studied in New York, married to a Jewish South African who lived In Israel says multiculturalism has failed."

Yes, perhaps I'm not so 'homeless' after all 😄
In truth, I'll vote purely tactically next time, to keep the grifting racists out.
Keep up the good work.

'The Hunt For Red October' vibes.

And all based on an idiotically shallow and wrong diagnosis: that Labour is losing votes to the right AND the left. It's simply not true. Look at the fkn numbers. Labour LOST a few votes to the right - that were on loan and never coming back. It is currently actively LOSING votes only to the left.

Looking at your profile pic, Peter, I think you need to up your game. You're not looking particularly extremisty. Or is the suit just a subtle ruse?
Anyway, for the record, I'm politically homeless right now, but I punched the air when I saw the result yesterday morning. Congrats. To all of you.

There's some VERY short memories over there in the States.

Yes, but we can't allow Reform to win another by-electi........oh, hang on 🤔

If their plumber doesn't turn up looking like a proper plumber, then they ain't paying. And rightly so. Nobody should have to pay for woke plumbing. Whatever next, some bird turning up to plaster the walls? Pffft. World's gone bloody mad!

You only really needed the first sentence.

In other words, HE HASN'T LEARNT A SINGLE THING FROM THE OUTCOME.

Come on fella, leave off with all these facts.

How on earth is Liz Truss gonna crowbar the deep state into THIS result?!
Do we need to start being deeply suspicious of plumbers in pizza parlours? Or Gorton and Denton as a whole?
Or something. Or other.

G&D and Caerphilly painting quite the picture about how the public really feel about Reform - despite much of the media’s desperate attempts to persuade us that a Farage premiership is inevitable come the next GE.

Characters who “saw the light” (ie pro-vax doctors who become antivax, progressives who become conservative, atheists who become religious..) are such a powerful trope because “they speak from experience” but in reality they project their vacuousness onto others; they assume everyone is ”pretending”

I'm liking that probably a LITTLE bit more than I should. Probably because of the target.

Thank you, Gorton and Denton. You actually made me punch the air this morning.
A sizeable win for what seems like an excellent Green Party candidate. I wonder if the Labour Party will learn ANY lessons?

Our whole attitude to mortality needs to change. Needs to be more 'grown-up'. This Bill would be a step in the right direction, and the idea that a small number of people can just decide, because they have issues with it, they can deny it to the whole nation seems quite extraordinary.

Here is my opening statement to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today.
