Joy

But also, back in the day when we were all out partying, the headlines were "OMG young uns party too much." You can't win.

For GB News' ideological backers, it's money well spent.

And Jared Kushner is involved in the ‘peace talks’. Months ago, amid this horrific suffering, Kushner said • “Gaza’s waterfront property, it could be very valuable”. — He also said that if he were in Israel’s position, he “would do my best to move the people out and then clean it up.”

I love that we live in a world where we're all supposed to now praise Trump for his peace-making and ignore the fact that at least 20,000 Palestinians have been killed on his watch, with bombs & bullets - & rhetorical support! - that he supplied to Israel.
That's all erased now.

quick question, who were the antifascists in 1930s Germany against

I’m pretty sure if we designed an assisted living facility to look like the WH and put lots of gold all over it and a ballroom with his late 70s playlist on a loop we could coax him in there and he wouldn’t know the difference. bsky.app/profile/atru...

OK, she really said that they arrested “the girlfriend of the founder of ANTIFA”

The girlfriend

of the FOUNDER

of - anti fascism?

😵‍💫 The Kremlin showed Putin's celebratory lunch with the generals yesterday.

It doesn't feel festive at all. Everyone's expressions are gloomy…

#locationlocationlocation is just depressing to watch thesedays. Watching these young people having to shell out £400k for properties that look like they shouldn't be worth anything near that is awful.

I can't be the only one who struggles to read white text on a black background? It's like it's getting burned into my retinas 😵‍💫

Why did I just read all that 😐??

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

For first time buyers, there's already no stamp duty up to £300,000 and only 5% from £300,000-£500,000. So the only young people this will help are twentysomething hedge fund managers or those being bankrolled by very wealthy parents.

Whoops. Priti Patel. Sitting right there. Everyone else is mentioned, except her. Camera lingers. Priti trying to cover her seething - and failing. Is alienating your Shadown Foreign Sec wise, while knives are being sharpened?

These mascots make me smile 😃

Kemi at the Speccy If you thought that Boris Johnson was going to be the Spectator's last Prime Minister, then think again: Kemi Badenoch worked at the Conservative Party's journal of ideas from 2015 to 2016, which is a fascinatingly short stint. Intrigued by this, we asked a number of her former co-workers about her tenure at Old Queen Street, where she worked as a digital director. She was 'unbelievably crap' according to one source, who relays that she was inefficient and idle, who struggled with organisation, loudly declaring that tasks were her 'top priority, my top priority', before leaving them unfinished at the end of the week. She would make bizarre non-sequiturs in meetings, saying that 'the Spectator is a shop, and the editorial team are the shop window', and advertise that she spent a lot of time on the 'message boards'. She also, in one source's telling, would announce that 'there is no one more right-wing than me' to her colleagues at the magazine. Leaving in 2016 to focus on her nascent political career, she maintains friendships with Fraser Nelson and Andrew Neil, but operated a 'kiss-up, kick-down' policy, and was apparently combative and rude to her junior staff. All the sources we spoke to are astonished that she is being spoken about as a potential Prime Minister. So what does Michael Gove see in her?

Exactly this. I studied textile design at Grays School of Art in Aberdeen & I loved every minute of it. Unfortunately, I didn't get a job in the creative fields & ended up working in offices, but that didn't mean all the experiences & happiness I gained along the way were meaningless.

Kemi Badenoch, like Bobby Ewing in the shower, convinces everyone in the room to believe that it was all just a bad dream.
Aaaaaaahhhhh.

Wait, I thought they were the free speech brigade?

The best bit is her she's pretending the past 14 years didn't happen.

I know the racism is the main story, but I feel like it might also be worth also looking at the fact that the man who for several years not so long ago was Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government now thinks that a lot of our communities and neighbourhoods are "slums",

It's hilarious, she's just pretending the past 14 years didn't happen.

❓NHS waiting list in May 2010 when the Conservatives came to power: 2.60 million.

❓NHS waiting list in July 2024 when the Conservatives left power: 7.62 million.

Who's fault is it Kemi?

Kash was begging for a Community Note

Sure, but going by comments by Tories in the last few days, he's going yo have to include his own party among them 🤷‍♀️

We've had crazy headlines aimed at the SNP in Scotland for years. Anyone who dares challenge the established parties gets them furious. I'd say it means you're on the right track 👍.

Performative praying!

Some days, it seems like the whole world has gone mad!
