Excellent reminder.
And it makes me wonder, has anyone checked to see if the blankets handed out at ICE detention centres are riddled with deadly viruses?
If not, itβs probably only because they are not providing blankets.
I'm sick of ridiculously rich people.
I'm sick of being told we have to make them richer.
I'm sick of them not having to pay tax like everyone else.
I'm sick of them pretending to be essential.
When actually they are worse than useless.
An editorial cartoon divided into two panels. On the left, a couple watching tv news; the wife asks out loud "Dick Cheney's been compared to Darth Vader. I wonder how he feels about that..." On the right stands Darth Vader, dark lord of the Sith. "I'm hurt" he replies.

I'm aghast & I'm also late to this party - so can someone please explain what possible reason there could be to vote down this amendment & how does this, apparently perfectly reasonable, planning requirement become a party political issue. Another reason not to vote Labour, love from Caerphilly

Said one angry viewer, "She's right. Every time you turn on the telly there's another Reform MP being interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg." She added, "I respect their way of life and their strange customs, but Reform MPs comprise only 0.7 percent of the House of Commons. Yet Nigel Farage is on Question Time more than Fiona Bruce." "I'm not prejudiced. Some of my best friends are swivel-eyed loons, but enough is enough. There are too many people with angry red faces on television.β
