“Iran and the UK. Time to make that a club of one”
Thank you @sanditoksvig for speaking out about state-sponsored religious privilege.
How on earth do we still have these privileges - in a pluralist society - where the majority of the population is not even religious?

I have sacked Nadhim Zahawi, now that my ethics advisor has informed me that hiding £27m in an offshore account, avoiding £3.7m in tax, lying about it and threatening to sue people is apparently not OK. Who knew?

"Grant Shapps has denied doctoring a picture on his Twitter feed to remove former Prime Minister Boris Johnson," reports the BBC.
Here's the image on Shapps' now-deleted tweet compared to the original photo.

I NEED EVERY FOLLOWER TO RT THIS
Your local postie is facing the most important week ever.
They are facing intimidation, threats and bullying from an out of control management team.
They will strike for 2 days to save the service and their jobs.
Are you with them?

This should be absolutely devastating for Sunak. His wife is collecting £11.5m in annual dividends from a company which retains a staffed Moscow office. theguardian.com/world/2022/n…

Tory MPs are getting a bit tetchy about people sharing this @SkyNews interview with @RishiSunak. 👇

There once was a PM called Truss
Whose policies caused quite a fuss
But instead of departing
She called Mr Kwarteng
And pushed the bloke under a bus

Amazing line from guy on the BBC talking about the Tories, post-Boris: "The ringmaster has left the circus, and now the lions are eating the clowns."

We apologise for Royal Mail Groups greed and the impact it is having on postal workers and customers across the UK. If they could find a way of giving workers a share of the £758m profit, £600 shareholder payments, £2m exec bonuses and £2m exec share awards then we can sort this.
We apologise for the impact the CWU's industrial action is having on our customers. We are doing all we can to minimise any delays and keep people, businesses and the country connected.

0.13% of the population voted for Liz Truss. But at least we've escaped undemocratic rule from Brussels.

You have achieved nothing other than to make our country smaller and meaner. You took pleasure in cruelty; most enthusiastically so when you could target it at society’s most vulnerable. Your departure improves politics more than anything else in your career has or ever could.

Good riddance @PritiPatel.
You were an unspeakably cruel Home Secretary and won’t be missed by anyone with a shred of decency 👋🏽

Liz Truss will be Britain’s next prime minister — the nation’s fourth in seven years. And she’s inheriting a nation falling apart at the seams. nyti.ms/3ASl6ru

Always return to this poem by Linda Pastan:
ALT Why Are Your Poems so Dark? By Linda Pastan Isn't the moon dark too, most of the time? And doesn't the white page seem unfinished without the dark stain of alphabets? When God demanded light, he didn't banish darkness. Instead he invented ebony and crows and that small mole on your left cheekbone. Or did you mean to ask "Why are you sad so often?" Ask the moon. Ask what it has witnessed.
