YouTube video by BBC News Dennis Skinner kicked out of Commons for calling David Cameron "dodgy Dave" - BBC News

This was Dennis Skinner being kicked out of the House of commons for referring to the Prime Minister, David Cameron, as 'Dodgy Dave' ๐Ÿ˜†

He's in his 90s now so he's had a good run

He donated his MP salary to charities supporting miners during the miners' strike ๐Ÿ’ท

Yes I think he's saying that Trump can be stopped by any US judge and that means the judiciary hold the real power, not the POTUS

Same with Bolsanaro etc.

As so many judges, especially SCOTUS, do what they're told anyway it's not a major issue but he likes fanning the flames of imaginary issues

No I'm on a PC but always select the image first and then type text, so that might be why

It has definitely been slower recently, especially when I click notifications, which can now take up to a minute to load

It doesn't show me as @roger... now just a long @did:... handle when I reply to a reply

I find that a lot of people can relate to Kryten when they're at work

It can feel sometimes as if they're the sensible ones who are surrounded by nutters, especially the management ๐Ÿ˜†

It was brilliant thanks ๐Ÿ˜‹

Forgot to mention in Alt Text that it had chicken stock and soy sauce in it, both light and dark. Instead of sriracha I just put a sprinkle of dried chillies in the chicken stock/soy sauce mixture

Recipe said it's enough for four but it's probably enough for about 10 ๐Ÿ˜†๐Ÿ˜

Three bowls of food, two bowls have a fork and spoon. The third bowl is my vine tomato salad with feta cheese, black olives, fresh bay leaf. Other two bowls are pancit. Stir fried pork tenderloin fillet, gammon ham, prawns, vermicelli rice noodles dressed with dark soy sauce and toasted sesame oil, bean sprouts, red cabbage, spring greens (collard greens in US), spring onions, garnished with fresh bay leaves

First attempt at making pancit, a Filipino dish

Thanks to @robertemond.bsky.social for his advice

It just occurred to me that the U.S. flag perfectly reflects our Congress. The red side is full of rows and rows of empty white space while the blue side is full of stars.

Not sure who 'him' is but if I go to a tactical voting website in two years time I'm guessing that it will tell me to vote Deform (which will never happen) or Labour (unlikely to happen)

Greens and LibDems are shackled by First Past The Post

We already have Deform ๐Ÿคก controlling our local council

I'm pleased that he gives you hope

I used to go out banging doors and telling people to vote Labour when we had Tony Benn and Dennis Skinner out on the picket lines with Arthur Scargill, people I could believe in

Now I wouldn't piss on a Labour politician if they were on fire

Times have changed

I always vote

It's just frustrating that my options are currently severely limited ๐Ÿ˜†

The other option is that we might actually become more combative in politics, following the example of the USA

Again, I hope that you turn out to be right

Wish I shared your optimism

Labour party members clearly stated that they wanted PR but they appear to have been ignored

Because they've done such an awful job in power, just Tories with red ties essentially, if the corrupt Tories and Reform merge they will win the next election

Unless we have PR

I'm currently politically homeless (but always vote)

As long as we're shackled by First Past The Post it will keep rotating between the two 'main parties'

JD Vance understands that, which is why he told Reform and the corrupt Tories that they need to merge when he visited the Cotswolds recently

I like the cover ๐Ÿ‘

Mandarin is the most spoken language in the world and Spanish is second

I believe that USA has more Spanish speakers than any other country but I could be wrong, I often am ๐Ÿ˜Š

I voted for Greens and LibDems in the local elections

Just because I prefer Caroline Lucas to Zack Polanski doesn't mean I won't vote Green

I vote for policies, not 'personalities'

But First Past The Post means Greens/LibDems won't be in power
