Question - Dear UK government, do you want 2.2% GDP lift?

Reply - Na, it's ok. We would rather continue with the destruction and probably lose the next election. #PMQs

A Peter Hitchens article that says dyslexia is made up

I wouldnโ€™t normally highlight this - but I think it is important to understand the sort of mind Peter Hitchens has - he lacks empathy - if he doesnโ€™t experience it then it is made up and can be dismissed. An arrogance devoid of imagination and sadly prevalent in our world.

11 weeks apart.

They were willing to overlook the lies, Jan 6th, fraud, the arrest, the charges & the rape to celebrate his return to the White House.

Now they feign surprise that the sociopath we all warned was a sociopath is indeed still a sociopath.

The quote is, unsurprisingly, completely out of context. Dannatt said IF Starmer didn't increase funding, he'd be in the dustbin of history.
The Mail conveniently forgets 2010 to 2024.

Letโ€™s not make the same mistakes again.

Europe must rearm and organise a European army.

One is a photo from a Mess Function - essentially, an evening social, that allows traditional dress. The other from a military inspection.

So, the only conclusions that I could draw are not about combat effectiveness, but about the intelligence and motives of the poster. ~AA

For the likes of Hannan, Brexit never had much to do with the EU.

It was always a Ladybird libertarian fantasy about returning Britain to the glory days of Empire.

My late great friend Quarsan said Hannan was the biggest Brexit cultist he ever met. Next level stuff.

Theory:

Trumpโ€™s frontal cortex has completely atrophied. Heโ€™s got no editor so just says whatever crazy shit comes to mind (bleach for Covid, tariffs, Greenland, Gaza). Then his cult have to pretend itโ€™s a coherent plan, and then his minions have to find a way of walking back.

How do Britons feel about Brexit five years on? | YouGov 55% of Britons now say it was wrong for the UK to leave the EU, with just 11% seeing Brexit as more of a success than a failure

Wow ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ๐Ÿ’ฅ
Just 10% of Labour voters say we were right to leave the EU. That means 90% of those who voted for this government do NOT support Brexit. Just imagine what these figures would be like if Labour hadn't spent the last 8+ years REFUSING to talk about any EU/Single Market benefits!
