If you’d been targeted by the far-right they’d probably have set fire to the stage. If you’re intimidated by a picture of a lettuce, you are wholly unsuited to being a politician on the world stage.

Again, the inability to withstand criticism of any kind, the urge to dismiss opponents as inadequate people unworthy of his attention and therefore legitimate targets for insult and attack. A true Snowflake.

My little finger nail knows more about climate issues than the entire staff of The Guardian. Wtf are you talking about?

Lady in green, "As a child I couldn't understand how the nazis came to power. And now I understand it... Truss and Kwarteng tanked the economy, my daughter is paying £400 more a month for her mortgage. They are deflecting all of that by talking about small boats." #BBCQT

Tory responses to the partygate video: "It’s an old video, the matter is closed" "We need to move on" The insulting audacity of it, the relentless slaps to the face. They know they’re untouchable. How about you go fuck yourselves you lying, entitled, criminal pieces of shit.

Sunak is hiding behind ‘precedent’ to allow the Johnson and Truss resignation honours lists to proceed. But precedent is just a practice you choose to continue until you decide to stop. He should have stopped them both. One is disgraced, the other crashed the economy.

Being anti-vax must be so tiring. It’s been two whole years with no payoff for your dummy conspiracy theory and now your entire personality is being mad online while openly hoping that every celebrity death was caused by a shot.

Simon Schama, "Brexit has driven labour costs up, which has contributed to inflation." Samuel Kasumu, "We've left, we have to move on." SS, "Moving on requires saying we've made the most colossal mistake." SK, "How does that have value to what we do next?" SS, "Democracy depends on the acceptance of truth."

I find the newest “anti remote-work” propaganda amusing. If anything, remote work will help you avoid becoming like the person in the pic. When you work remotely, you can fragment your working day as you wish. You can exercise, stretch, sleep or do any other activity. On the contrary, in an office, you spend almost all of the 8 hours sitting. Nice try though!

“We are delivering…the fastest wage growth in years” says Rishi Sunak in #PMQs. It is an extraordinary boast, for a few reasons. 1) that wage growth is a big reason why interest rates are still rising, why the Bank of England will next week increase interest rates again, and why there will be mortgage pain, much of it acute, for well over a million people over the next year (and the government too is having to pay significantly more to borrow) 2) the “fastest wage growth” is mainly in the private sector, over which the government has no control except in respect of setting the minimum wage; 3) Downing St and the Treasury have been furiously trying to suppress wage increases in schools, hospitals and the rest of the private sector, because they regard inflation as THE problem; 4) even with this “fastest wage growth in years”, most people on average are poorer, because inflation is even faster.

Nadine Dorries, a tragedy in 4 acts. The lights dim as our play begins... 1) Calls out cronyism in how jobs in the Lords are given out.

A former President is being indicted - for the 2d time - & there's non-stop coverage. Some good analysis, some not so good. Many keep bringing up how "those in the military are likely the most upset about Trump absconding with intel secrets." Yes, but there's more. 1/

"If Donald Trump is convicted of doing a crime, that means ANY NORMAL PERSON can be convicted of doing a crime. That's a dangerous precedent for democracy." Colin from Portsmouth is worried for Donald Trump

Russian state media does indeed lie about everything. And… in denying the consequences of blowing the dam, they are admitting Russia did it. If they really thought Ukraine did it, they'd be overstating the consequences, not minimizing them.
A reminder that Russian state media lies about everything. The zoo that doesn't exist according to TASS is clearly visible on Google Maps, around 800m away from the Kakhovka dam.

"If employers are struggling to find workers, they should offer better pay and conditions," @oren_cass writes. "If that comes at the expense of some profits, or requires some prices to rise, well, that’s how markets are supposed to work." on.theatln.tc/Lgf4KIa

Absolutely farcical stuff, and obviously anti-competitive. The dairy industry basically wants plant-based alternatives (actually they say you can’t even call them that) to be sold in plain brown packaging and hidden on the top shelf unearthed.greenpeace.org/202…
