I'm a bit fik me, Why doesn't Starmer just admit he appointed a dodgy slimebag to deal with another dodgy slimebag ?

The Clash - s/t (CBS, 1977/78) If you want to know what it sounds like to kick a door down while playing guitar, put this deathless slab under your needle. Dry, tough, almost workmanlike, this classic album (first heard in the US version) sold me on punk. #5debutalbums7579

#5debutalbums7579 Hard to know where to start so I'll begin with 1975. An album being so inventive and ahead of its time has got to carry extra weight in a debut album poll, which makes this a serious contender for my top 5. A truly remarkable album. open.spotify.com/album/7xg7u9...

"Some analysts say it bears the hallmarks of illegal insider trading" "Others say the picture is more complicated and that some traders have become more adept at anticipating the president's interventions." Who to believe? 🤔

Morning Bluesky.

Anyone know whether today is a ‘ceasefire’ day or a ‘destroy your civilisation’ day yet?

This dog rescue had a slumber party night where volunteers got to sleep with a dog up for adoption! This is the kind of place I’d donate my time and money to. Slumber Pawty! 🐾

Today the Prime Minister will assure Parliament that there was no window, or if there was a window it did not break, and if it broke it was not from a ball, and if there was a ball there was no kick. He will add that he is "furious" about the window that broke from a ball that was kicked. (By him.)

Let's be honest ... If not for Brexit, Starmer probably wouldn't have felt the need to suck-up to Trump so much by appointing someone like Mandelson. So this is ultimately another Brexit disaster to add to the list! #RejoinEU 🇬🇧🇪🇺

It’s not that these people still exist. That’s just biology. It’s that they are still being paid to shit in their own hands & start clapping.
