All these people really want is to pay no taxes and be treated with floor scraping deference. Everything else is just bullshit in pursuit of that goal.

This is a variation of the fantasy low tax "UK can be Singapore-upon-Thames" bollocks that followed the result of the EU referendum in 2016.

Oakeshott and Tice are grasping, selfish, entitled grifters who don't want to pay any tax but do want servants who they can exploit.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚

Proper “Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer” -sounding garbage here from Jenrick #CPC25

David Lammy should give Robert Jenrick a fucking good hiding at the earliest opportunity.

It's what Jenrick deserves, the dogwhistling racist cunt.

Perhaps in his dementia-riddled, cholesterol-soaked brain, Trump believes that by igniting a second American civil war he somehow becomes a latter-day Abraham Lincoln.

In so doing, America's mad king thinks he can secure his place in the pantheon of great US presidents.

Has anybody got the Grandpa Simpson / "Old man yells at cloud" meme to hand for this Tony Abbott interview, please?

This isn't a party conference. It's an extinction event.

An asteroid must have hit Planet Tory.

No such luck. Trump's occasional gibberish regarding God is to keep America's cult of evangenital Christians on his side.

Sounds like Republicans ought to get all the Republicans who form the Republican majorities in the Republican-led House and the Republican-led Senate together to pass the budget that Republicans wrote with the Republican White House and that Republicans now insist absolutely must be passed.

“To save the village it was necessary to destroy it” vibes for the Conservative Party.

Farridge and Deform UK are used to accepting Russian roubles already #CPC25

Now imagine what it would be like at the national level with know-nothings in charge of the nuclear deterrent and an economy as finely-tuned as a weather system.

It's as if Deform UK is nothing more than a clueless mob of misfits, chancers and ideologues who have no idea about how local, regional or national government actually works in the real world.

There’s an essay to be written about how maga patriotism is just shitty fandom. Anyone who follows sports knows fans like this, it’s always the ref’s fault, the other team doesn’t exist, there’s some plot/player/coach holding the team back otherwise they’d always win easy bsky.app/profile/atru...
