I am very much here as a safe space for everyoneβs incredibly bad experiences with idiots applying CBT worksheets at them.
I think every clever/sensitive/both person I know in the UK has had some experience like this. It is proper medical harm.
Reform fury as someone else wins by Our By-election Editor Tim Shipsink The losing candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, Matt Goodwhinge, has demanded an immediate re-run of the election on the grounds that he lost comprehensively to someone else. "It's totally unfair and rigged," said Goodwhinge. "I shouldn't be required to sit there and suck it up, just because I lost." Mr Goodwhine continued, *I can't believe that all those voters I demonised failed to back me. Especially after I was endorsed by Tommy Robinson and ten million Russian bots on X. "We have clear evidence of family voting, where people voted in order for me to stop deporting their families." Mr Badloser concluded. "I'm the victim of colour prejudice. They didn't vote for me simply because I'm not green." Reform leader Mr Farage, speaking from a sun lounger on a rock near the Chagos Islands said, "It's a tragedy that the people of Manchester won't see Matt in Westminster, but my constituents don't see me in Clacton either."

Beautiful from Private Eye on the massive toddler-tantrum that Matt Goodwin and Reform are having, because they got whooped in Gorton and Denton.

The Tories' YT channel, meanwhile, think SHE SMASHED IT.π
It is embarrassing. She is embarrassing. Suggesting welfare is why we don't have more missiles is embarrassing. Philp jeering while PM is trying to list evacuation flights is embarrassing. They are embarrassing, yet somehow NOT embarrassED.
Kemi Badenoch claims the Type 45 Destroyer canβt intercept missiles.
That is literally what they are designed to do, and theyβre world-renowned for it.
The Conservatives should wind their neck in and stop warmongering.
We will not gain anything by getting involved in a conflict with Iran.

Good for Ed Miliband - whoβs also doing far more than the Torygraph, the Tories or Farage to insulate the UK from volatile fossil fuel prices, lately driven up by Trumpβs war with Iran

Walking along the National Trail, Coastal Path, the majestic cliffs of Tintagel come into view, and this is one of those landscapes that can never fail to impress at any time of year.
We have to take good news wherever we can get it.
