Fun fact this weighs lighter than a brand new M5 Touring

California is worth saving.

LA just gave up on enforcement of any kind for illegal business, while running a legal one is a nightmare.

We could have built 20 large nuclear power stations instead of this nonsense…

Britain is not in austerity. Our budget deficit in the last financial year was £129 billion, 4.2% of GDP.

[Tim Anderson @AssocAnderson]

This isn’t just a budget. It is a 600-page policy bill stuffed with law changes, new registries, new enforcement powers, election changes, energy policy, cannabis implementation, and even a legislative pay raise.

Here is an example. Legislative branch exempted from executive purchasing/IT/finance directives while also give leaders the authority to appoint individuals (and replace individuals) to boards and commissions.

This should be a stand alone bill. Not a law and policy change in the budget. Legislating through the budget defeats the entire purpose of having a legislative process of 140 members and gives a handful of people power to change law in a single vote. Much more on this over the next several posts.

[Tim Anderson @AssocAnderson]

The budget creates a permanent state climate bureaucracy.

No law passed. But an entire new agency. The State Climate Office. Created it in the budget. No legislative debate. Just tucked away on page 100.

Idk lads I’d quite like the economy to grow by 150 billion a year, especially if doing so requires negligible public spending

[Tom James @TACJ]

Can you imagine if they tried to build this today?

[Aviation Archive - Tim Farmer @aviationarchive]

Invented by the British in 1944, allied fighters used paper drop tanks of glue-soaked kraft paper to extend range. The lightweight tanks leaked after hours so crews filled them right before takeoff then dropped them after use saving metal and denying scrap to the enemy.🫡

This is obviously AI. I’m going to FaceBook to get the real video

If you genuinely think Starmer is “hard right” then you have become utterly unmoored from reality, and need to delete Bl*sky from your phone

[Jarvis @jarvis_best]

The Euros have literally banned alcohol and sports instead of just legalizing air conditioning.

[Scott Greer 6’2” IQ 187 @ScottMGreer]

There is no government in the world more opposed to its people than the current British regime.

[Dux @DuxVul]

This was declared a terror attack right away, even though no one died

Southport was not declared a terror attack when 3 children were executed

See how it works

Keir Starmer's successor, whoever that will be, will fail just like he did.

The United Kingdom is ungovernable at this point because the elected government no longer controls the state apparatus. The unholy blob that Tony Blair constructed runs everything, and they answer to no one. Starmer himself literally said that he pulls a lever and nothing happens. His replacement will find those levers still do nothing.

Without a massive purge of the NGOs, the Quangos, the courts, the civil service, and the administrative state, changing Prime Ministers will do about as much good as swapping out a kid's steering-wheel toy in a car that's hurdling off a cliff.
