Whilst entire media & political class meltdown over rapper at Glastonbury.
Worth reminding ourselves of what the IDF has been up to last 2 years:
Labour is a mess. Authoritarian, abhorrent, immoral leadership who lack any ideas both domestically and internationally.
To make things worse, the empty suit that is our PM will drag us into another Middle Eastern conflict as the good little lapdog of the US.
But yeah, "change"
Labour MPs face a stark choice - they may not be re-selected by the Party if they vote against the Bill - but will almost certainly NOT be re- elected by voters - should they vote for the cuts or enable it to pass by abstaining.

The meme about the R*form local election wins doing the rounds among die-hard Labour faithfuls is pure head-in-the-sand cope. Yes, we all know they have fewer council seats than most of the other parties, but thinking you can ignore the repercussions is arrogant centrist thinking

Alastair Campbell and his boss Tony Blair increased UK weapons export licences to Putin by 550% as he destroyed Chechnya and made Grozny the most destroyed city on Earth.
We are “not going to apologise for developing a good relationship with an important world leader,” Campbell said after inviting Putin to London in 2000.
Following year, Russian investigative journalist Anna Politkovskaya was in London and went to an event at the London Press Club which Blair and Campbell also attended.
Politkovskaya, who was publishing groundbreaking work on Russian atrocities in Chechnya, used the opportunity to question Blair as he sat at his table with his spokesman Campbell.
“The response of the Prime Minister of Great Britain to my inquiry regarding the nature of his affection for Putin was brief but comprehensive,” she wrote.
“He replied, ‘It’s my job as Prime Minister to like Mr Putin.’ And that was that. What more was to be said?”
Politkovskaya was later murdered in a contract-style killing in 2006. Putin is believed to have ordered the hit.
The wooing of Putin was about securing business for BP - or Blair Petroleum as it was then known.
Putin and his murderous thugs are watching this and laughing their heads off. Trump and Vance are singing his songs at the top of their voices. “This is going to be great television” says Trump. All he cares about. Was talking to Michael Woolf earlier today. “You have to remember he is a reality TV star,” he said. “All he cares about is attention. And together get ratings you need conflict, conflict, conflict.” As for Vance … vile. Zelensky is a great man being treated to Mafia style bullying, intimidation and extortion. Europe has to stand up as one when Zelensky arrives in London on Sunday.

🚨 NEW: Labour is scrapping its manifesto pledge to grant employees the right to 'switch off' outside work hours after concerns about the burden on businesses

100% this. So much tech in new cars sucks. Overly complicated and distracting.
I don't care about what car I drive, so I'm extremely happy to be driving crappy old cars with simple dashboards.

The problem with those mobile games Royal Match and Royal Kingdom is that, as an anti-monarchist I don't want to save the King. I ain't matching those gems - let the dragon eat him.
There's an idea for the devs - create a Royal Match game where I we match gems to trap the king.

Very much enjoying my morning of not having been up trying to apply for Oasis tickets.
What ruined Oasis for me was having been a musician in 90s - 00s and having to play shows with so many dogsh!t Oasis copycat weekend rockstar bands with obnoxious singers.

If this system is going to deliver *25 years straight* of pain and plummeting standards for most people before it can improve, then a national calamity like that requires a more detailed explanation than “The Tories spent recklessly”.
Content moderation on this hell site is non-existent.
Reported 2 posts for using pretty abhorrent slurs - things that would get you fired for saying in a workplace to a colleague - but apparently 'X' didn't find any problem. I suspect that if you're a blue tick you're shielded

I'm used to traveling around Europe by public transport. But haven't seen a contrast quite like paying €2.90 in Sardinia for bus & train to get from the apartment to the airport, vs. having to pay £20 to get home on the train in the UK.
Wasn't some scrappy 20yo train either.

🚨 BREAKING: Russia has just sentenced five climate activists to a whopping 21 years in prison for a PEACEFUL protest.
Oh, wait, did we say Russia? We meant the UK.
Even if they guy who shot Trump is named as a card carrying NRA member, they'll probably be described as a "radical left LGBTQ terrorist" by Trump as soon as he's able to speak
