Boris Johnson put his own brother & the son of a sanctioned KGB spy in the House of Lords. On his *first day in the job* PM Sir Keir Starmer has promoted a former chief scientific advisor & a businessman whose work rehabilitating former prisoners has improved countless lives…
6 Chancellors in 6 years. 6 Health Secretaries in 5. 9 Education Secretaries in 9. If they were a Head Teacher, their school would be in Special Measures. If they ran a branch of a bank, they’d be under arrest. A disgraceful rabble unfit for office: take them away!
This is interesting because the basic arguement matches a recent Telegraph opinion piece - and it’s both correct and naive. It’s correct because the only way Brexit could have worked economically speaking was to use it to deregulate, lower business taxes, shrink the state etc. It’s naive because the majority of U.K. voters - especially those who voted for Brexit - don’t want that. They actually want a European social model - high spending on health, education, defence, etc. And the only way you can have that in today’s difficult geopolitical world (given our geographical position on the European continent) is to be part of the vast, pan-continental single market and customs union that exists to deliver the European social model as far as is possible. This is why the Labour Party, in government, will eventually begin the process of joining the European single market and customs union. The only other option is to follow the Brexiteer vision of a much smaller state - and a large majority do not want that. As the recent Telegraph piece pointed out, these are the only two choices that do not lead to inevitable economic decline.
This is incredible:
When trump supporters were told that Joe Biden did something trump actually did, they denounced him.
When told it was actually trump who did it, they immediately made excuses.
Jimmy Kimmel is BRILLIANT. 😂👏

Rent-a-Minister Grant Shapps embodies Government chaos. He’s held 5 different cabinet posts in past 12 months. Transport, Home, BEIS, Energy, and now Defence. This govt is a desperate scrambled cohort of failure & an election to get rid of the lot of them can’t come soon enough
The death of at least 78 refugees off the coast of Greece is yet another crime against humanity.
Until we dismantle the racism of barbed wire across Europe, fellow human beings will continue to perish at sea.
May their souls rest in peace.
Getting the feeling that getting the Tories out of power will be a driving narrative of the next general election. Whatever it takes these people have got to go and go big … tactical voting has helped and can help again in a general election. Next stages now all about Labour 1/2
I feel jealous watching the Paris riots. They’re doing what we should have done a hundred times over by now. Legends. We’re a simpering, mugged nation that lacks self respect and inexplicably favours an unequal, corrupt state. I hate it. Vive la France 🇫🇷
You are beyond help Nad. Even I had to go before five inquiries and I was only the comms guy!! To say TB/ Iraq not scrutinised suggests you are in the departure lounge to another planet. The good news is that nobody will be talking about you and Johnson in 20 years so relax.
