I am very much here as a safe space for everyone’s 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."

PLUMBER DEFEATS
MATT GOODWIN

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

US Senate vote fails to rein in Trump war powers on Iran The measure, passed largely along party lines, would halt US military action until approved by Congress.

Donald Trump continues to act without restraint.

Contributor: U.S. attack on Iran echoes Russia's invasion of Ukraine It's disturbing for the U.S. to be playing the role of the aggressor. Equally disturbing is to see mistakes of the Iraq War already being repeated.

The Tories' YT channel, meanwhile, think SHE SMASHED IT.πŸ˜‚

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 can’t intercept missiles.

That is literally what they are designed to do, and they’re 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 - who’s also doing far more than the Torygraph, the Tories or Farage to insulate the UK from volatile fossil fuel prices, lately driven up by Trump’s war with Iran

Thrilled to be part of this exhibition at @themerl.bsky.social which has been curated by @olliedouglas.bsky.social. Two of my paintings are part of this gallery trail. Make sure to find time for a visit over the next few months. It's going to be fantastic.

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.
