Once again agreeing with the last person he spoke to

Well fancy that. The British Populist Right's spiritual leader (after Farage) has ignored their increasingly shrill pleadings.

Ban on asylum seekers using taxis for medical appointments comes into force It comes after a BBC investigation which showed people travelling long distances at high cost.

And amazingly, what this story also tells us (aside from the chaos of Home Office policies) is that the real scammers winning here were unscrupulous taxi firms.
But hey - guess who actually gets blamed?

Yes, quite. It's the biggest scandal of this administration, so far, probably. It's an average Tuesday under Johnson.

I’m somewhat serious when I say time ripe for gutsy government to do sweeping modernisation of everything. New building for Parliament, savage restrictions on lobbying & revolving door, Lords reform. Coordinate radical slimming-down of royal family with King. Pluto to have planet status restored &c.

this is vicious and correct www.economist.com/britain/2026...

I only asked!

I don’t want to imagine. I’d like you to tell me!

OK this makes me extremely angry. Has everyone forgotten the massive profiteering from thousands of avoidable pandemic deaths?? The unconstitutional suspension of parliament to force through an act of nationalist destruction that cost our children their future??

Really poor from the Green Party.

That would be Will Lewis. Knighted, inevitably, by Boris Johnson.

We moved house recently and I just want to sympathise with Andrew here, it really is one of the most stressful things you can go through in life, along with divorce, bereavement, and testifying to Congress under oath about a notorious paedophile ring in which you played a key part.

This is just toe-curlingly embarrassing.

I'm worried that the broader public isn't really understanding the Epstein Files. The problem isn't that everyone in the files is a secret pedophile, it's that all the people are corresponding with him because they *don't care that he's a pedophile*. It's a story of elite impunity.

Don't disagree with Alex Burghart here but slightly galling to hear the Tories asking for investigations into potential Russian assets

Now let's hear a correspondingly positive response from the UK government.

…but it would be a start

I’m sure others have pointed this out but May 2025 - Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has said he wants to…scrap the two-child benefit limit

February 2026 - he wants to re-impose it

It’s like he’s a shameless opportunist or something

May 2025 - Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has said he wants to…scrap the two-child benefit limit

February 2026 - he wants to re-impose it?

I convinced a lot of people to invest their life savings with me except I used all their money to buy myself a leather jacket and a jukebox that only works when I hit it.

I’m now being investigated for running a Fonzi scheme.

I agree.

I don’t see it. Plus he’s got until March to go to the MLS so 🤷‍♂️

Instead of conferring titles, gongs and baubles and then demanding those titles, gongs and baubles be removed…

…perhaps as a modern, mature polity we should have far fewer titles, gongs and baubles in the first place.

This is the kind of thing that a civil servant could well end up in prison for doing.

Jeffrey Epstein emailing Peter Thiel: Finding things on their way to collapse was much easier than finding the next bargain. ... Return to tribalism. Counter to globalization. Amazing new alliances.

Definitely seems like they destroyed the country on purpose.
