Wanted: Regional Director to work for an organisation opposed to home working. The successful applicant will be expected to work from home.

It also presupposes that voters can't think for themselves. I heard it constantly under the Tories (this isn't a scandal, only people in the media care) and Corbyn (the MSM are making you think it). We are not idiots. Okay, maybe some of us are. But mostly, we're not.

Read this thread, and respond - you only have a short time. I find these proposals inhumane, unjustifiable and sickening. If you have an ounce of decency, you probably will too. So tell the govt, asap. www.gov.uk/government/c...

anyway the consultation shuts tomorrow, one minute to midnight UK time: www.gov.uk/government/c... Amnesty have some good guidance here. Go on: media.amnesty.org.uk/documents/Am...

Productivity increases between 5% and 13% with working from home, and worker wellbeing improves hugely too. But Farage doesn't care about reality. Or productivity. Or your wellbeing. He cares about the workplace property investors who bankroll him. www.greatplacetowork.com/resources/bl...

Money-saving tip: instead of renting Hamnet, just ask a friend to shout "I DEMAND THAT YOU CRY!" at you for two solid hours.

Finally got onto Fallen Feathers, and really enjoying it..

Damn right. There's still time to transform a wasted govt into a transformational one. It's not as though nobody knows what needs doing, or we're lacking ideas about how. Labour built the NHS in 3 years, and transformed the nation. They can this too. It just takes will.

McSweeney is gone. Time for Starmer to try to salvage his government by launching long overdue proper action to address all the flaws in our political system - peerages, patronage, cronyism, party finances, MPs revolving door, appointments, ministerial code, business interests, Leveson, etc etc.

It reminds me of that time Mrs. O'Leary's cow resigned on her own terms.

We don't want the people who vote for us to vote for us. We want the people who will never vote for us to vote for us. And the people who vote for us - we want them to vote for somebody else, who we basically agree with, but now hate because they're getting more votes. I are an genius at politikz

Officially, Boris Johnson was brought down by Chris Pincher. In reality, it was PartyGate and utter moral failure of his project. Officially Keir Starmer will be brought down by Mandelson. But he'd survive this easily if his project hadn't been so piss-weak, disappointing, and morally spineless.

A special election in a reliably pro-Trump Texan district, where the majority of voters are Republican, Trump personally endorsed the MAGA candidate, and the GOP outspent Dems by 7-to-1. Democrats won with a 31% swing. The mid-terms are going to be a wipeout. www.bbc.com/news/article...

I’ve read the first two. Can thoroughly recommend.

Concur.

People have to do jail time. Powerful people, who thought they were untouchable. They have to be arrested, tried, stripped of assets relating to their crimes, and sent to jail. Because if it doesn't happen, it will prove to voters that democracy is a sham. And then we're seriously fucked.

It would be terribly sad if Peter Mandelson ended his life in prison, after all he's done for these islands, or any other island that paid him.

It's 1998. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour. It's 2001. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour. It's 2025. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour. It's 2026. Peter Mandleson has resigned in disgrace from Labour.

Last month it was the most beautiful venue in the world, and nobody had ever seen a venue so beautiful, and they said to him "Mr President, we didn't think you could make it better, but I did, in just 24 hours, and I ended 8, 23, 295 wars." Today he shut it. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

"All that's left is 3 million horrible photographs of Epstein and his mates doing terrible things, which isn't enough for us to prosecute anybody, so the case is closed." Literally. That's his argument. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

I'm 55 and it's LITERALLY the first time in my life that I can remember my childhood home of Gorton and Denton being noticed by anybody in London. Maybe that explains the appeal of Reform.

Trump sued the BBC for editing one of his speeches. It makes you wonder why he's not suing people for directly, openly stating that he's a rapist and a paedophile.

BREAKING: The DOJ just DELETED a document in the Epstein Files that contained allegations made against Donald Trump. But we saved it. 👇

Noooooooo!!!! My favourite actress, Catherine O’Hara has left us. A comedy genius. Only 71… she was just getting started. Awful, awful news! May you rest in peace, you absolute beauty! 🙌 😔

Find myself wondering about that timing. Wondering if, after Minnesota, the GOP have decided there's nothing more to be gained from defending Trump. #EpsteinFiles

I don't give a fuck about politics. If Bill Clinton is involved, arrest him. If Alan Dershowitz is involved, arrest him. If my best friend was involved, arrest him. And if Donald Trump is involved, arrest him. And let's put it to a jury. #Epstein.

13 year old: "Trump tied me to a bed and proceeded to violently rape me. I loudly pleaded with Trump to stop. He responded by violently striking me In the face with and screaming that he would do whatever he wanted." Statement supported by... 1/2 www.justice.gov/epstein/file...

There are 3,444 documents containing the name Trump (some may be Eric Trump). Based on my initial view of some them, each document mentions him 10-20 times. And there appear to be very, very similar accusations from multiple people across multiple years. www.justice.gov/epstein

Trump, Trump's son and Elon Musk allegedly present at an event at Mar-a-Lago where children were auctioned off, and forced to have sex with Trump at the age of 13. Again, this appears to be an entirely separate account by a different accuser. They all seem very similar.

Another complainant - a separate one, as far as I can tell - claiming Trump regularly paid her to perform sex acts with him when she was younger than 14.

Another Trump reference in the Epstein files, claiming Trump raped her.

Trigger warning. This is the first thing I saw when I searched for Trump's name in the newly released Epstein files.
