Get ready for another Brexit benefit, everyone! "...the report estimates an excess of 229,000 avoidable deaths attributable to diminished spending on other health interventions by 2036, a figure surpassing fatalities incurred during the COVID-19 pandemic between March 2020 and June 2022."

On beating Farage, "most voters who intend to vote Labour, Lib Dem or Green at the next election – are prepared to vote tactically. However, Reform and Tory voters are less prepared to vote tactically." Labour's failure to pact would be strategically poor. PR would ultimately be best all round.

That's 2017 trillions unadjusted for inflation. www.sciencealert.com/worlds-riche...

"Brexit reduced UK GDP by 6%-8% by 2025 compared with if Britain had remained in EU Productivity and employment reduced by 3%-4% Investment reduced by 12%-18%" www.reuters.com/world/uk/how...

🤦🏻‍♂️ As if there's too much choice on the UK political spectrum.

Reform in it's push to modernise politics and unite the country by being unnecessarily divisive. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Looks like the navy's on a recruitment drive by showing life can be fun at sea.

"...geopolitical developments could see the vote being brought forward to this summer." We know what happened when UK fishermen tried to fish in Icelandic waters. www.dw.com/en/iceland-m...

"Nuestra América" dates back more than a century to José Martí. It's a response to colonial manipulation of Latin America. The US sometimes says it fights colonialism by intervening. Few believe that. Elsewhere, China has shown it's possible to draw a line. www.colombiainforma.info/nuestra-amer...

🤔While we're on the subject of Elon Musk, let's not forget his business genius. Apparently "it's increasingly hard to claim that DOGE made any sizable dent in federal spending, which was its primary goal." "The bottom line is that government spending increased under DOGE..." Such integrity!

😮 What a winner it would be for a candidate to run for the French presidency on the basis of justice and holding Musk to account! www.joe.co.uk/politics/fra...

Hope we get to see a time when the EU (and others) impose sanctions on a former US President. Americans themselves need help holding their presidency to account. edition.cnn.com/2025/12/23/p...

"Ukraine has launched a new, previously unreported “Sub Sea Baby” underwater drone and sank a Russian Kilo-class submarine in the Novorossiysk port, according to the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU)." www.kyivpost.com/post/66281

So even if service improves, we'll still be plagued by the state of the trains. Twats!

FFS!!! The project's been hacked by crazy idealism. Why does nationalisation have to come with shoving a tacky flag in our faces? Might as well paint human blood over the trains for that disgusting red. BAD start to the day and a coming headache every time I see one of those trains. NOT happy!

"But ministers now appear to be taking a step back from further modernization and letting the Lords itself have a big say in its own fate..." Like letting the sick or the poor decide for themselves, right? www.politico.eu/article/labo...

More good news for the average American on the way? www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

Hear me out. I've been in physical pain as long as I can remember. Living on the streets was tough. Malnutrition was an issue, especially the week I had no food at all. Despite the daily headaches, pain and breathing difficulties along with regular issues from mixing sickness with work,

" The value of U.K. cheese exports has shrunk 66 percent since Truss signed the deal" but stop moaning and blame the EU, right? Or maybe it's migrants, benefit claimants and anyone that doesn't vote Reform now. www.politico.eu/article/liz-...

Took everything off Spotify. Continuing to focus on vinyl sales. Also slowly building a Bandcamp presence. 1st track live and features my voice. sickmanofeurope.bandcamp.com/track/the-me...

Finally got some wheels. Wondering if I'll manage to get out more than the current once every 2-3 months. Anyone up for coffee?

#music #dnb #drumandbass

Therapeutically messing around with some #acid_techo #music #vinyl while I have the physical strength. Reckon I'll get some oxygen canisters and see if I can mix a bit more often.

"...momentum for withdrawal from the ECHR is not matched by popular demand... politicians are proposing to amend Britain’s constitutional order in the name of “the people” while ignoring what...people actually want, undoing constitutional safeguards and democratic institutions in the process."

Imagine being so much of an egotist that you fire someone for a verbal insult. 😂

Someone capable of humour or trying to teach me the bleeding obvious? It's late and I can't work out whether I'm missing the joke or dealing with an idiot.

People hate the Iranian regime. They also hate the Israeli one. Iran kills or oppresses many under its administration. Israel does too. They're both bad. Why shouldn't Israel's nukes be disarmed too?

Regarding serious events in the Middle East, I've calculated the worst potential scenario. Folks, it's not looking good. If Iran goes the way of Syria, we could be looking at mullahs modelling the latest clothing lines.

INTOLERABLE! Where's the gun squad when you NEED it?! www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/whats-on/wha...

Glad most the protests are happening far from the military parade.

The colour scheme reminded me of something.

And now for today's question...🥁🥁🥁... What's the point of rules if France actually uses them?

Babies and toddlers are people. He's either overlooked that fact or not used correct English.

The thing about my son is that he has an abusive mother.

Pakistan claims 5 Indian jets downed by...a Chinese-made plane. The irony of Trump withdrawing military support from allies while trying to push them into conflict with China! Who need enemies when it's allies that cause your problems. edition.cnn.com/2025/05/09/c...

A reminder that a really poor, ill-equipped country defeated the US military at a time when US GDP was a larger proportion of the world's. Brexit's for gaslighters and their suckers. www.colombiainforma.info/hace-50-anos...

I keep getting blocked by accounts that have used the same picture as me. My flag pic's also been used and it's one I took myself. What weirdos!

"It looks like new US tariff taxes are starting to impact synth prices, with some prices jumping close to 70%...almost all synths and electronic music gear is now either made in China, or made with Chinese parts." www.synthtopia.com/content/2025...

Blowing the lid off! All listens, follows, likes etc. greatly appreciated. 🙏🏻 Made this Spotify account to test music before releasing on vinyl. There are tracks named after @chadbourn.bsky.social and @deanmorrison.bsky.social More to come. open.spotify.com/artist/4zOCJ...

1. Ukraine gives up nuclear weapons in exchange for security from USA and Russia. 2. Ukraine gets invaded by Russia. USA provides inadequate security then pulls the plug. 3. Zelensky signs away minerals for security from USA and Russia? WTF?!

Trump's an idiot that's been privileged enough to remain stupid through life. His 'talent' is just his strength. By being this way, he's made weakening him the way to 'negotiate', bringing conflicts on himself. He's also where the WW3 talk is coming from.

Another massive profit for French national rail followed by huge useful investment. Remind me what's so good about rip-off Britain where they're delighting in fleecing the poor, sick and vulnerable rather than leading by example, please. www.tf1info.fr/transports/1...
