Vaccination protects against many infections. But whilst there’s money to be made from weight loss jabs, I suppose they’ll still be pushed in our faces, and the anti-vaxx gang will still spout their nonsense. www.independent.co.uk/news/health/...

Unfortunately, highlighting Farage’s admiration for Orban will not cut the mustard with the stupids. They’ve never heard or Orban. And Hungary is what they are when they go into Greggs.

The right-wing obsession with cultural erasure doesn't extend to protecting British fish and chips from replacement by US fried chicken! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Perhaps younger people buying into the ‘it’s just winter/summer’ tropes genuinely can’t remember a time when it didn’t rain continuously for weeks on end?

Fucking hell!

Oh, give it a bleedin’ rest.

Some Labour MPs should be thinking a little more about the victims rather than using Mandelson as an excuse to go ‘on manoeuvres’. And they should be raising questions about Farage and Nick Candy’s appearances in the Epstein Files.

If there was any justice, Mountbatten Windsor would be moving into a bijou shared studio in a Wakefield HMO. But there isn’t.

The most horrific thing of all is the number of very ordinary men who secretly a relish a trip to the island where they could just grab a woman or girl by the pussy, no questions asked. My guess is it’s a frighteningly large number.

Save Are Kids.

Keir Starmer is not in the Epstein Files. He must deal with Mandelson; yes, absolutely. But the Epstein Files should be the catalyst for major reform, beginning, but certainly not ending, with the House of Lords.

I still can’t quite comprehend the depths and extent of depravity detailed in the Epstein Files. I don’t doubt it, but it reads like something from the court of Caligula. It’s unfathomable that such evil flourished in modern times.

Good! Time for him to leave the Lords too. Foul man.

Good to see Keir Starmer saying that Andrew Mountbatten should testify under oath. So he should; it seems he has a lot of questions to answer. But it’s a disgrace that Charlie isn’t saying the same thing.

Finally, finally, a tiny patch of blue sky. Not quite enough to make a pair of trousers for a sailor, but at least it’s something.

Not sure “rogue landlord” actually covers this.

Auschwitz was at the end of a process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred gradually developed: from ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

Good news. Hopefully, a cap on service charges will follow.

Keir Starmer is a statesman and a huge asset to the UK. Operating largely in the shadows, he is undoing the damage of Brexit by re-building trust based relations with the EU, and restoring the UK’s soft power on the global stage. Andy Burnham is not, I’m afraid, up to that task.

@remembrancewatch.bsky.social It’s a fair question, isn’t it?

Odd isn’t it? How many Brits died answering the call of the USA in the past few decades because we were once allies? And yet I don’t hear a single flagshagger screaming ‘Lest we forget’ at Donald Trump.

Something for @ledbydonkeys.org to play with in Clacton perhaps?

There’s an awful lot of hope and expectation being piled on the shoulders of a single little blood clot isn’t there? What if it doesn’t get its act together in time? Shouldn’t somebody have a plan B?

Anyone else remember the gammon mewling like babbies about the EU ‘punishing’ brave little Blighty for deciding to become a third country? Yeah, me too. Oddly quiet about Trump’s tariffs aren’t they?

If you know anyone who lives in Romford, tell them about this. #Rosindell #AnotherTurquoiseTory

Is Trump about to learn that ‘fuck around and find out’ cuts both ways?

Significant perhaps? (From elsewhere).

Where the fucking hell is Starmer? Why isn’t he on Bunter’s podium addressing the nation? Why isn’t he saying something like…. Because of Trump’s actions today, it is in the national interest that I make an application to re-join the EU tomorrow. And I intend to do that. Where the fuck is he?

Come on Keir. Use it!

Come on Keir. Use it!

Well, it look like wheeling Charlie out to lick his putrid, fat arse was a waste of everyones time and money doesn’t it.

Janey Godley was so right.

Windscale becomes Sellafield. #ToxicToryRebrand

Right then you lot. Shall we give this a little bit of BlueSky love?

An uncomfortable read because of the truths it contains. Starmer continues to bring feather dusters to a knife fight; continues to be nice and play fair despite a huge majority. A political killing instinct was never more desperately needed than now.

A fair few polls are suggesting that Reform support has peaked. Hopefully, the pantomime of Zahawi and Jenrick will turn a few of them into non-voters.

Anyone looking at the chaos of the Reform presser, should also look at the chaos in the Councils controlled by Reform. They are a rabble, and their aspiration to run the country is as laughable as it is frightening.

In Wakefield one hopes.

Jenrick now huh?

Hat tip to France, which as a sovereign nation has every right to control her borders. Cue whimpering and wailing from the ‘control are borders’ thugs yet to grasp that borders have two sides.

Labour can extend this beyond X and start going after Reform politicians making money from the site. "Will Farage give back the money he made from this sex offender site?" Etc...

Pinched from elsewhere (the image, not the filth in the bin; they went on their own accord).

Not convinced that it’s quite the coup either Reform or Zahawi think it is.

I rather wish Peter Mandelson would decline to leave his own house. A lengthy period of silence from him would be most welcome, although an interview under oath would be better.

Some good points here, but it’s hard to get away from the fact that many of those moaning about the death of the high street and the village pub shop online and drink at home.

Let’s not be coy. Let’s drop the ‘some’. The people responsible for this are MEN. Men humiliating and degrading women they hate, fear or envy because they can, and abusing children for kicks because they want to. Men. www.theguardian.com/news/ng-inte...

NEW: The Government has rated councils in England as red, amber or green based on how well they’re fixing potholes using government funding. Guess which councils are performing the worst. #ukpolitics

The horrific legacy of 14 years of Tory underfunding and galloping privatisation, plus the Brexit fuelled hate fest, plus the neurological deficits manifest in poor impulse control arising from repeated Covid infections. Perhaps.
