How much is your water bill going up by?

More than your salary, no doubt.

Together, we win Gorton & Denton.

The justifications for war with Iran keep changing. First it’s nukes, then it’s conventional missiles, then it’s protesters, and now it’s back to nukes again. Kinda seems like war with Iran is itself the objective, and they’re just making up excuses to get there.

To distract attention from allegations he raped children, the president of the United States has started one war, is on the brink of starting another, & has threatened two more, as well as authorising federal agents to shoot American citizens in the face.

Those Files have got him seriously scared.

Notes From a Slightly Chaotic Few Months Family, Winter, Work, Exhaustion - and the Kindness That Made It Bearable (see what I did there?)

A small personal update from my side, a de facto out office and a huge thank you to everyone both on here and over on Bearly Politics for all the incredible support over what has been a very difficult few months.

I honestly could not have done it without you guys.

See you all next week!

Food sector calls for transition period if UK and EU agree post-Brexit rules reset Industry groups warn that aligning agriculture standards overnight could cost British businesses up to Β£810m a year

β€œOne transport chief told the trade select committee Brexit paperwork had been β€œpure hell””

Another chapter in the Brexit yawnathon. Forever juggling glacial improvements in the deal with the pissing inefficiency, cost and red tape we’ve inflicted on ourselves.

The US is obsessed with hating communism

Why?

Obv democracy and neoliberal economics isn't developing the US - just a few billionaires benefit

The US is a racist, anti-communist state....ironically under dictatorship

Today's reminder: Nigel Farage is a traitor to our nation. He has accepted money from foreign governments and organisations that are enemies of our government and must face justice.

No - but what's also interesting is the distinct lack of comment by Western politicians about the chaos on US streets and ICE

Judgement on any other country mistreating it's citizens - absolute silence when US citizens murdered by ICE

Is special rel'ship just the politicians......
