For the Tories Bozo was like a jar of electoral Marmite: hate from plenty, love from plenty. Now he's like a jar of Marmite somebody's pissed in. Long may they continue spreading piss-mite on their toast and offering it hopefully to people on the doorstep.

Will the tedious blanket grouping of right & left of the mid 2010s as 'populist' please just fade away. One side want to hang people or let them drown in the sea, the other want all people to be entitled to the basics of human existence as a minimum. The difference is stark.

So apparently we can't stop Truss walking out to our song, very weird! So sad it got used by this shower of a government. BTW Truss labour used it with permission in 90's. I don't want my song being a soundtrack to lies.

This dinner lady says she cries going into work - because she has to deny children school lunch.
Ideology, I.E a shared set of ideas or beliefs. Yes, believing in stuff is to be scorned on it seems. Stuff like believing we should actually give a shit about people. 'Course, the belief in the absolute purity and primacy of 'the market'? Oh nonono, not ideology. Cynical as ever
Here's what's gonna happen. You're gonna join a union. You're gonna make it good and clear that it's not your job to cover up a dead body and that they're breaking the law, and you're gonna demand they pay you a living wage.
Sorry guys it's "inevitable" that you're gonna suffer thanks to rocketing energy costs 🙄. In unrelated capitalism news:
Boris Johnson said periods of difficulty were “inevitable” as he faced accusations his “zombie government” was failing to address the crisis caused by soaring energy bills

Johnson 'delivered' Brexit? Brexit has only been delivered in the sense that a flat-pack of furniture is delivered. It hasn’t been assembled yet because it won’t fit through the front door, several of the most important pieces are missing and the instructions are in Russian.

guy who knows that every time he is inconvenienced by a strike, the value of workers' labour is being demonstrated, and that this is for the common good

I don't remember anyone telling my mobile provider to show "discipline and restraint" when it told me the price was going up by CPI plus 3.9%.
It's a good job megabrains Starmer et al have been briefing frontbenchers not to appear on picket lines hey. Thank gawd they're chasing the perceived focus group member of yesterday rather than standing firmly by principles & facts and being seen to lead the discourse into tmrw.
🚨New poll🚨
A majority of UK adults say that the rail strikes this week are 'justified'.
Justified - 58%
Unjustified - 34%

EXCL: @ITVNews has obtained pictures of Boris Johnson drinking at a No10 party during lockdown in November 2020.
The photos cast fresh doubt on the PM's repeated claims he was unaware of rule-breaking in No10 during the pandemic.
See all images here:

Me as a teen trying to seem cool 🤝 Bozo lying about law breaking - 'It's not a party, it's a 'gathering' '
BREAKING: Boris Johnson offers a conditional apology for breaking the law.
“I repeat my wholehearted apology”.
BUT… “it did not occur to me then or subsequently that a gathering in the cabinet room just before a vital meeting could amount to a breach of the rules.”

Boris Johnson is the first sitting Prime Minister in history to have broken the law
Oh come on, as an absolute minimum a windfall tax on oil and gas companies, US UK and then some, is surely a no brainer!
🚨 NEWS: A new @Cmmonwealth report shows the Top 5 U.S. oil & gas companies have paid negative domestic taxes since 2015 + delivered $201 billion in dividends & share buybacks. Today @SenWhitehouse & @RoKhanna are proposing a windfall tax on FF profits newrepublic.com/article/1656…
