I hate the timeline where we award people purely for being rage baiters.

Quite a big fan of political leaders calling out the US for what it is. A rogue state.

Thoroughly ashamed that ours will be grovelling at their feet in a little over two weeks

*completely off tangent*

I thought you were calling out to @mediocrehobbes, a chap that isn't as "wise" as Eddie Hobbes (and probably gives better financial advice)

When corrupt politicians start getting to jail, then we can start trusting the government again.

I am ashamed to have you as leader of our country.

They bombed a girl's school.
40+ young girls murdered and yet in a few weeks, you'll lick that paedophile rapists boots while giving him a bowl of shamrock.

You are turning your back on your countries wishes. This year's visit is not appropriate.

"the Green Party was interested in re-entering government again"

I'm sure they are.

They won't though. They're transfer toxic. Few will transfer from the left after the last betrayal, fewer will transfer from FF/FG.

And the English have a very good leader and a committed base, unlike this lot.

β€˜Trump’s not enough. And he knows he’s not enough’: California governor Gavin Newsom on populism, β€˜purity tests’ and whether he’ll run for the presidency He’s the Democratic politician with movie-star looks and a picture-perfect family, dogged by accusations of being a smooth‑talking elitist. Can he really unite the American left and win the most power...

"I was born a poor black boy"
Really does sum up Gavin Newsom.

I have no time for him. What's with the Republican fiancee and then a Republican wife? What's that about?

What a dude. Will the Greens of Ireland honestly look at what he's doing over there and try and imitate it?
First things first, apologise for breaking vote left/transfer left betrayal.

Labour did everything the popularists like Matt Yglesias want. They cracked down on trans people and immigrants. They pushed austerity. They ended up fracturing their entire base and losing this seat to the left for the first time in nearly a 100 years.

University of Galway plans to end and replace arts course amid fall-off in interest β€˜Urgent’ reform aims to meet changing needs of students as they seek β€˜direct routes to employment’

Funnily enough, I don't see any mention of the corporatisation of third level education.

"A fall-off in interest". β€œDirect routes to employment”. "Drift away from arts courses." "Perceived lower occupational return." "A shift in emphasis... towards Stem."

It's the diet fed to the chickens, no?
(I just meant they LOOK as white as bleached eggs)
But like, no, I don't know. I assume it's diet, that the chickens are getting the bare minimum nutrients to keep them alive.
Kinda like how there used to be a lot of white doggie poop in the 80's.

Congratulations to The Green Party and Hannah Spencer for such a strong victory in Gorton and Denton - Matt Goodwin seems to be blaming a dirty tricks campaign of the Greens persuading people to vote for them by having policies people wanted to vote for
