While were at it. In controversial political discourse do stop asking for evidence you already know exists & can look up yourselves. People have lives! The 'how to win arguments' book tricks are all too obvious. As is "Have a nice life" and "Bye bye". Why don't we all just discuss things nicely.

People. If you're going to have a political disagreement. do try to stop using the buzzwords of the season. This year it's "heavy lifting" Just stop it. It sounds pretentious! A few years ago it was "conflating" Just as annoying at the time but oops, I used it today. My bad 😆

Anyone still remember the expression "Hoist by his own Petard?"

I hope this isn't true. But could be. But I do know what a hung parliament is. There's a lot of sneery patronising around today. What's up with you lot? If I can refrain from being arsey (and assuming ignorance) at 40 degrees without aircon you Brits in England could try to be civil.

Well he wasn't was he?

We all forecast this with Brexit. Brexit was about deregulation for big money in every single way. Banking, trading Money hiding, & of course Big health. I don't hate to tell you I TOLD YOU SO. I NEED to tell you it's your last chance. ACT NOW. Not for me. My health care is in Spain, For all of YOU.

With Keir Starmer resigning, a new PM is moving into No.10 soon. Let's make sure a message from us is waiting on their desk on day one! We need a wealth tax on the super-rich to fund housing, health, and our communities. Add your name so they can't ignore us you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/de...

Students in Spain who go through the Spanish school system, are supported through university by the state. if they maintain their grades. Had that been the case in UK my daughter who got a first with honours, would not now have a debt. Whereas rich parents would pay for the lazy kids' low grades.⚖️

This is SUCH an interesting question. (I have a nose for these things) I spy on the horizon that THIS might be used to try to try to undermine Burnham. The big money people are scared of him anyway & trying their hardest to smear. He might have to leave this battle alone in order to win the war.

Starmer’s goodbye gift to UK: a £44.7bn US pharma deal that could be more lethal than Covid. Pushes up the cost of NHS drugs, boosts US corporate profits. Secret contract, no debate in parliament. The next PM must renegotiate, produce drugs at home wherever possible.

Billionaires & Bullying. My son taught me the expression "That's his currency" about someone's behaviour. Their (learned) currency is greed & bullying. If yours is love & compassion, who is richer? Feel sorry for the sad losers they are & you'll see the face of someone with no real power over you.

I'm on video watching today. Well Too hot for anything else. I'm after some work between Labour and Green, and the Keynesian economists. Yeah the neo-libs will hate it but petty point scoring politics and the politics of big money, has to stop!

This is a long vid, but well worth watching, although a little depressing. Goes through from investments through AI global warming, toxic chemicals, fertility. Listen to the OLD! :D "Plan your life as though it will not be easy".

1)I love watching the young economists talking about politics. They often talk about what to invest in. But what do yyou invest in if you ARENT Rich? Ahh well this is really interesting. Invest in a life where you bring all your 3 major outlays down, one at a time. First Home. Pref with a garden

Music is not a luxury here. It is proof that we are still alive. Two young women. Two banduras. One bench in a Ukrainian city. They played. People stopped. No one said a word. hfu.org

PLEASE take the heatwave seriously. I have a friend whose daughter died from heatstroke last year. Being a urostomate I see how much we need to drink when sweating this much & its much more than you think! Take a cotton scarf or cloth with you and wet it regularly. Old lady science-evaporation works

Is this the historic moment we politically disgrace the Mosley copyist? I hope so! "In May 1940, after the outbreak of the Second World War, Mosley was imprisoned and the BUF was made illegal. He was released in 1943 and, politically disgraced by his association with fascism, moved abroad in 1951"

Private Eye satire. Hasn't given his first major speech yet. The more the MSM attack, the better indication that he's a threat to the Neolib status quo. Not a full on socialist but a step towards saner politics. He at least is public-aware. MUST reverse the new protest=terrorism laws - minimum!

"If Burnham fails on inequality, Farage wins. If Farage fails on inequality - and he will - the next party will be even further right."

Stupidest referendum - a binary yes/no answer to a complex decision, there was foreign interference & it was merely ‘advisory’. But the tax-dodging Tories implemented it immediately to avoid EU directives re financial transparency. They had no other plan. They couldn’t believe their luck.

I wish all US Congressional Democratic leadership a very Keir Starmer

Deter investors? Yes lets do that! Toxic 'investing' in hedge funds, property, big health, insurance, water, energy is what got us into this disgusting mess. Remove wealth generation from wealth, and put it back into income from personal work. Don't let them con you. Wealth does not work for you!

Watching #TheCon. Neoliberalism in action. "Let the market decide" unless its banks, bankers, 'derivatives' sales etc. then it's let the market be unregulated until they've stolen your house or your pension or your water/trains etc. Then bail them out -With tax payer money.1/2

He thinks this will reflect badly on the cafe. But we're all happy to repost this content. Because REALLY the world and even England is full of kind honest honourable and anti-racist people. And the very best way to show your distaste for far right politics is peacefully simply to refuse it.

Been working hard on a vid class/presentation. Past Midnight in Spain. JUST made the deadline in USA! Here's a still from it. Some of my miniature flowers. Yes I don't only rant about politics. I also make tiny cute things & write about it for a living! They imagine us socialists are 'envious' 😂🤣🎨📚

Really love ! We need to get back to a place where we can expect our governments, local, national and international to have our backs. That's what WE pay them for. They work for and with US. Good to see standards back in public life. Mamdani for President of the US. Now, Burnham can you equal this?

Projection. That is a nasty and unprovoked attack. Who is spiteful Kemi? And 'class warrior' as an insult is pretty empty from a party and a person who insist that equality of opportunity exists, (if it suits them) when it really doesn't.

The world is coming to an end. The last person on earth is Farage, still repelling all boarders - the actual cockroaches, which infest the rotten valueless pile of money he's balancing on. On his head is the last thing which will survive on planet earth. The Ikea colander.

UK. Ding Dong the Tory's gone! I do understand if you don't see the current LP as right wing Maybe you haven't seen a left wing government in your lifetimes, or without realising, you've leant that way. I also understand if you think this won't make any difference. for me #properREDorGreen though

Asking why Starmer is so unpopular? Weaponising 'anti-Semitism' to get Corbyn out & him in. Saying Socialists are not wanted or needed in the L.P. Helping stoke division, racism transphobia etc. AND mostly for calling peaceful protest terrorism & white terrorism 'understandable concerns'.

I wholeheartedly agree with every part of this statement. Politicians have pushed us too far and we're at breaking point. There's nothing great about Great Britain any more. This country is broken. Starmer has done nothing to alleviate the strain, if anything he's made it worse.

This is what an obvious fake 'bot'-type division incitement account looks like. Is there a word for that when there's prob a person running dozens if not hundreds of them? My first thought was not very insightful. My second was ... Check this one out before replying that he wouldn't win big.

What Andy Burnham’s victory means for taxes, mortgages and pensions Manifesto hard redlines are what boxed in Starmer & Reeves. Andy is not learning the lesson, he should be keeping the redlines faint until he sees what he’s dealing with. www.thetimes.com/article/57e6...

Sanchez is standing firm against fossil fuel interests. He has been a strong & principled on War, women's rights LGBTQ+ rights & of course Big energy. ALL that WILL rile the right wing big-money supported manufactured rage parties. up! But there's no denying Spain is the better & stronger for it.

International stability and the security of their own countries requires Trump and Putin, and their inner circles, to recognise that the 21st century world isn't the great power playground they thought it was. But neither seems personally or politically capable of doing that.

I also post some of my #frugal life hacks on Facebook www.facebook.com/AngieLittleo... I found this today to help with my off grid frugal life. Lidl In Spain at least, has 67% off a vapour juicer. Useful if you get a lot of fruit, to juice or a lot of veggie ends to make broth. Got other ideas too!

And paid minimum wage for their soul - by 'the bosses'. Sadly not a Labour party I recognise any more.

Time for a shameless Self-promo day I think. Well, summer can be hard on the other side of our business. If you want more snarkiness as a distraction from but adjacent to current politics you might enjoy Oh FFS! I left out the politics in favour of light hearted humour ... mostly. 😉

#TheFrugalistBook I always knew I was ahead of the times. I ferment (natural pickle) Lemons and I just love a salty lemon milkshake! Pickle flavours are the fad of the season. Presumably because people have recently got a taste for ferments? Anyway fermented lemon is a great taste in cookies too

And the feeling of really loving other human beings gives such joy. Hmm I'd better explain joy to psychopaths. It's like orgasm but without stickiness, the paparazzi & paying for the whole sordid story to go away.

musing: Why do a large proportion of humans default to excuses on even the smallest thing, rather than accepting responsibility? & Why can't we call it what it is... Lying! The problem I think is that we build up a weird little egotistical state where being wrong is considered unpardonable weakness.

And the planet will recover from 'us'. Shame we'll have been the tenants from hell!

Although the average is 50 & female, Knowing that a LOT of the arrested are actually OLD people leads me to believe that the courageous, when it comes to fighting for the future, are teens & twenties ... & old people. Incidentally in Spain having Grandparents is considered good for mental health.

Beyond ridiculous!! 🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼🤷🏼🤬
