- Imagine being so rich you can avoid paying £20m in tax. Then imagine being so poor you can’t accept raw vegetables at the food bank because you can’t afford to cook them. Tory Brexit Britain.
- Wait for the Sue Gray Report. Wait for the Met Report. Wait years for the covid inquiry. Wait years for the benefits of Brexit. If we had a functioning media, it would destroy the Tories.
- Corbyn refused to have dinner with Trump. Johnson backed him for the Nobel Peace Prize. All you need to know about the UK establishment.
- I live in a country where being late for an appointment with the DWP has more consequences than giving £6bn to criminals.
- People acting all surprised that Johnson is a shit PM. He was shit as a journalist, shit as a back bencher, shit as a Junior opposition minister, shit as Mayor, shit as Foreign Secretary, shit as a husband and shit as a father. What the fuck did people expect?
- Rwanda isn't going to happen. It's a garden bridge, Thames Estuary airport, Nightingale hospital, bridge to Ireland. But watch the media run with it and drop Partygate.
- I'm not often lost for words, but the lack of outrage over the brother of the Health Secretary overseeing the Partygate Investigation has left me speechless.
- Largely ignored as a factor to the current shitshow is the utter failure of Hoyle as Speaker.
- I want a scientist to tell me why restrictions are ending, not a far-right Banker.
- 40 new hospitals. 50k new nurses. 20k new police. 6k new GPs. All bollocks, all accepted by the media.
- The Daily Mail (based in Bermuda to avoid tax, owned by Viscount Rothermere, based in Monaco to avoid tax) is the self-appointed judge and jury of patriotism. Odd, isn’t it?
- Is England the only country that gets excited about replacing a right wing neoliberal party with a right wing neoliberal party?
