I don’t believe in prayers.
But I do believe in Dolly.

Phew

I just meant - did you mean the chancellor or the person you reposted!?

Can you clarify?

Rachel Reeves clears planning blockage amid ‘good relationship’ with developer Exclusive: Chancellor says 20,000 homes were being held up due to ‘some snails that are a protected species or something’

...and now we can add "snails" to "swifts, newts, bats, and allotments" on the list "Things that Starmer and his soulless billionaire-fellating shills hate"

Oh hey.
This is nice.

Looks like he’s forgotten to pack and had to make his own jacket by skinning a bus seat

🧵 I think it would help if people stopped ‘feeling’ whether or not a person or party is/was extreme or far right.

There’s actually a fairly respected definition. Let me take you through it & then you can decide if someone meets the definition. This is aimed, in particular, at journos [1]

All fun and games until someone loses a tooth, but gains a sixpence

comic from webcomicname.com, "different" panel 1: pink blob creature: "I want things to be different" panel 2: creature smashes everything panel 3: creature stands in wreckage: "oh no"

as always, the most accurate summation of modern politics ever created

Even worse if the pudding is spotted dick.

UNLAWFUL ARREST

This woman was arrested for holding a sign with “I do not support the proscription of Palestine Action” on it, a totally lawful statement to make, even under the Labour government’s absurd new laws proscribing the direct action group.

Maybe we don’t need to pay taxes for every day? Or obey all laws every day?

Careering into power

Not the most “I can definitely be trusted with power” kind of statement I’ve ever heard

Check out the pavement-parking : flag ratio

Zack Polanski saying what every politician should be saying,

"It's problematic to weaponise the synagogue attack to silence protest in this country against the genocide in Gaza"

"These are separate things and we should condemn them both"

Penny Mordaunt says that people protesting yesterday took police resources away from protecting Jewish people & those resources are finite.

So why wasn't the premier league asked to cancel football matches yesterday?

I constantly predict the voiceover with his programmes

This is awesome. Thank you!
Also I’m still sore from that time Ed Miliband appeared to promise ‘Free Owls’ to everyone as a Labour election pledge that proved untrue.

Tawny owl

Six weeks ago, I picked up a year-old tawny owl with a broken leg off the main road near our home and dropped him off at our nearest vet.

After a few days, I received one of the most bizarre phone calls I’ve ever had, asking “So when are you coming to pick up your owl?” 🧵

Also, at this point, you wonder what exactly it is that the police have to do to have anyone question the powers they already have?

The News on Tuesday: “Police abusing their powers”.

The News on Sunday: “Police to be given more powers.”

Idk guys if I had a choice between "offer additional security to a community that had just been the victim of a heinous crime" or "arrest people for holding bits of paper", I would consider that an easy choice and not cry in the national media about it stretching resources too thin trying to do both
