Last one sounds like a sexuality based slur.

Once again, I am missing Circles on here because my joking response to the above tweet is not something I want the whole world to see.

So many more electoral types to establish. "Vinted Girl boss", "Temu divorced dad", "Meal deal manual worker", "Monzo hustler".

I **think** Amber Rudd pushed it back into the Westminster lexicon.

Let's be more blunt, if I had a nickel for every time I've been told a man on the right who posts aggressively about grooming gangs is "not safe in taxis", well, I'd have more than two nickels.

Since the incidents have increased, community members from a meme-coin called Green Dildo Coin have taken responsibility for some of the disruptions.

A spokesperson for the group told USA Today that members started throwing green sex toys to coincide with the launch of the meme-coin, which was created the day before the first incident. The group wanted to use the "viral stunts" to garner attention, they said.

"We didn't do this because like we dislike women's sports or, like, some of the narratives that are trending right now are ridiculous," the spokesperson said anonymously in a Thursday article.

Barely followed this story, but if my life trajectory involved being a spokesperson for the "Green Dildo Coin", I'd hope my friends and family would stage an intervention

For Labour, I think its path dependency once you convince yourself that broad based tax rises are an electoral liability.

For the Cons, I think it because it means challenging their own fiscal orthodoxy for the last few decaded and it is psychologically easier to say "Its because we didnt deliver on the things we wanted to do."

Actually remarkable how neither Tory or Labour have accepted the "public services were shit" version of the 2024 election.

Yeah, it was that sort of thing, I guess (he didnt take the job) - given the timing it was probably after a generation or so had made those mistakes.

Reminds me of the Patrick Kielty gag about no one ever denting your car in a car park in the 80s/90s if you had NI license plates on it.

A sign of the decline in living standards that William here doesn't have a valet.

I saw him in this movie about this bus that had to speed around the city, keeping its speed above 50 and if its speed dropped it would explode.

I think it was called "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down".

Being married to D would get you recused, not sure why being married to R shouldn't.

Traitors are also explicitly barred from the Lords, and, by implication HoL hereditary by elections.

Discovered a new (to me) fun quirk of English law: if you are convicted of treason, you are banned for life from voting in parliamentary elections, but can still vote in local elections.

I remember a good article on 9/11 theories that tried to work out how you would actually go about a controlled demolition of the Towers and it would be years of work for thousands of people.

They'll have to lock them away in a corner room like supermarkets in the UAE do with all the non-halal products.

If Labour want something populist, how about a Bill of Pains and Penalties.
