Of the Reform Ltd MPs who were elected last year, 20% had been convicted of assault.
This rose to 25% after one left / was expelled, but I've lost track of how many are currently under investigation or have been accused

Nick Robinson did not push back on him at all but barely let Angela Eagle finish a sentence. Jenrick was pure populism, offering only fear of The Other and simplistic answers to complex problems rather than any genuine solutions.

Anyone can tear down a lot in 200 days. Building up is another story.

It was to show she was in a state of nihilistic distress. But (spoiler alert) she repented, so I think we can allow.

It's probably what gets funded and allows certain institutions and corporations to claim they are doing research into preserving the environment while sidestepping anything that might require them to change their practices.

Uprising will take place in the church hall in the event of rain.

Ethno-nationalist who has amplified and endorsed far-right propaganda about a “non-white invasion” has not ruled himself out of running for the presidency.

Trans rights will crack the whole thing in two.

I put it down because (whisper it) I've always found Roth a bit of a chore and the misogyny puts me off but mostly because his depictions of 70s radicals were so stereotypical and off-base, based more on media boogeymen than real people.

If Labour had any sense, they would respond to the likes of Jenrick and Farage by noting that all populism does is whip up fear of The Other and offer simplistic solutions that don't work to complicated problems. They should not be afraid to use the P word.

She just did, for anyone who doesn't need to be hit over the head with a hammer to get subtext.

She didn't grow up rich so may have more in common than you think.

Thiel believes 330 million Americans are uncontrollable—but 100 million Americans can be subjugated. They’re literally trying to kill 2/3 of the population.

WHY would they feel this way? They have medical training. Make it make sense indeed.

“We take vaccines so for granted in the United States” ...“Women in the developing world know the power of [vaccines]. They will walk 10 kilometers in the heat with their child and line up to get a vaccine because they have seen death.”

Melinda Gates

Virtually zero legacy media coverage of this statement. A couple of stories, that’s about it. The lies and insane statements have become completely normalized and are largely ignored now by Big Media.

Or, between the genuine billionaire and the bogus (until he turned the Presidency into a grift machine) billionaire.

"Straining companies and capital markets" -- not to mention the environment's carrying capacity.

Trump started out as a straw-man for Russian Oligarchs to buy condos in Trump Tower, for cash

Russia’s economy was collapsing so, they wanted to move their $ to America

After the Patriot Act in 2002, the Bank Secrecy Act was beefed up and money laundering was a lot harder, but not impossible

How I wish Ann Richards were still alive. She'd know how to deal with Trump and that Greg Abbott.

Britain’s ban on lead ammunition could save tens of thousands of birds from poisoning Lead poisoning kills an estimated 50,000-100,000 waterbirds annually in the UK. Many more birds are poisoned, but not killed

☠️ Lead poisoning kills an estimated 50,000-100,000 waterbirds annually in the UK.

Many more birds are poisoned, but not killed.

"We Speak Your Mind" - what a slogan. "We Wash Your Brain" might be more on point.

the State Department’s travel advisory to Belarus is word for word what a travel advisory to the US:

“Do not travel to [US] due to [US] authotiries’ arbitrary enforcement of local laws, risk of detention, potential of civil unrest, and Embassy’s limited ability to assist [your country’s] citizens”

The Tate generation - demonstrating their manliness by picking on the most powerless to serve the interests of the most powerful. Shades of 1934.

Tomorrow Belongs To Them

Who wouldn't want to perform this last labor of love? The officiant at my mother's funeral had never met her and delivered his standard "wonderful wife and mother" rap, although she was divorced, while failing to mention her numerous sterling accomplishments in public life. That was bad enough.

A reminder of Carswell's good judgment (with added Hannan and Rees-Mogg broken crystal balls).

Constitutional amendments take forever. Plus, the key to getting a constitutional convention is approval by state legislatures, and the Kochs/Mercer have made sure the latter are packed with Christofascists.

He's only getting scared NOW??
