@FXMC1957 As the old saying goes, Ginger could do everything Fred could, but going backwards in high heels…

@soniasodha Why does the UK find this so hard when its been in place in Switzerland for ages and several years in New Zealand?

@lewis_goodall @afneil He could have ended world poverty, homed the homeless, any number of wonderful things but he bought Twitter instead with a view to further enrich himself

@SamoBurja @NickCohen4 I think it’s more ‘nuanced’ than that.. no one cares what any of them say unless it’s aligned with their own pre-held views

[Barty @pbartram1]

@DavidHenigUK He’ll give them pardons, probably the only free pardons of his presidency, so wide is his corruption

[Barty @pbartram1]

@DavidSchwartz70 @CalltoActivism Immediately after the midterms, everyone should immediately use the term "lame duck" every time they mention Trump

@implausibleblog @clarkaw Anyone who succeeds Starmer will be boxed in by the manifesto they ran on. That was never radical enough to undo over a decade of mismanagement and austerity, and stops any truly radical change of direction.

[Barty @pbartram1]

@MichaelLCrick And they should stop using "normalcy"... normality or reality will do nicely

@implausibleblog @jpublik He's just prepping his defense of dementia for when the democrats win control of congress and impeach

@indiashairline @wallaceme @JohnRentoul @BBCr4today @bbcnickrobinson They couldn't afford me 😉

[Barty @pbartram1]

@alasdairskeil @wallaceme @JohnRentoul @BBCr4today @bbcnickrobinson He wasn't moving that much, he'd just been tasered. He probably couldnt let go the knife due to involuntary muscle spasms.. and Police boots cover the archilles tendon anyway. Not a good look at all.

@ScottJenningsKY @Bencjacobs @kaitlancollins But on the third minute he rose again to now be in custody apparently

@ShippersUnbound @adamboultonTABB I’d say jargon, but I’d also say as jargon goes, those are pretty clear English terms in their own right.
My point was that it’s a jargon in use across business, finance and manufacturing. It’s certainly not specific to govt, who tend to be late adopters of wider business trends

@kelvmackenzie @adamboultonTABB Add self driving cars and its time for universal benefit

[Barty @pbartram1]

@ukraine_map Jd Vance either when they impeach Trump or he when Teump quits because the democrats controll congress.

[Barty @pbartram1]

@Acyn @MeidasTouch Who is king George?

[Barty @pbartram1]

@IAPonomarenko He didn't just not mention Orban, he had to invent a row with the Pope to deflect attention.

@LBC No point using the airmen as a bargaining chip, Iran has already learned that US/Israel will bomb the negotiators whilst talks are ongoing, so no expectation that the US will keep its end of an agreement. He or she will be required to 'confess' to heinous crimes on TV
