Without a shadow of doubt a graffiti that is the inner voice of all normal people in the world: “I’m so tired of Israel.” Absobloodylutely 🤬

Have a closer look at this, Stephen. Jenrick was born in 1982 and is a Wolves fan. If he was in the away end the only times they played there after he was aged two were in League Cup ties in 1989 and 1996 and in the PL in 2003. Like everything else this shapeshifter says, I don't believe a word.

It is people like Wallace who embed the stigmatisation of autistic individuals. Yes, I can miss social cues, but have amazingly never wandered round work with a sock on my cock. What he is accused of is not autistic behaviour, it's predatory behaviour. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Just been visiting my 96yo dad in his care home. His carers are overwhelmingly from Africa or South Asia. Most of them could earn more shelf stacking. It’s an immigrant that puts him to bed and gets him up. It’s an immigrant who feeds him. It’s an immigrant who cleans him. They are not ‘strangers’.

For his own sake, I hope Starmer has an eye on Bluesky. He’s been absolutely slated today by his core support. God knows how he pivots and u-turns at this stage but he’s toast if he doesn’t. Such a wasted opportunity to make a real difference. The country needs him to perform and he’s failing.

“Despite all of these arrivals there are still 131,000 vacancies in care. The sector say there is no way they can fill these jobs with British workers” The care sector is already on its knees and the government knows it

Today was the day, Labour lost their core vote, make no mistake, Starmer is a walking talking Tory/Reformer. He isn't even in the centre anymore. A sheep in wolves clothing. He is done. What an absolute fuck up in their very first year of governance in 14 years. I am flabbergasted & tired.

This just exemplifies the hostility and disregard this government is showing towards disabled individuals. Not only are they driving millions more people into poverty, they are also heightening the dismissive and disbelieving attitudes already far too prevalent against disabled people.

“Trump has always been a fan of Brexit because it weakened the EU and because an isolated Britain is vulnerable to economic colonisation” “Avoiding conflict should not be confused with significant leverage” Far from ‘freeing’ us, Brexit keeps us trapped and weak. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

If Andrew Neil couldn't see what millions of people could see clearly, based on the evidence of Trump's own words and deeds, why should he be taken seriously as a political commentator?

The welfare system is excruciating to navigate already. Hammering those with disabilities is sick. Not sure I can support this government much longer.

🙄 Britons know a little too much about Chris Philp's work ethic - it took him just 39 days as Liz Truss' Chief Secretary to the Treasury to crash our economy and send mortgage bills soaring.

A brilliant analysis of the epic Brexit failure. Scorn for the liars and solidarity for the rest of us. “We lost something intangible and yet priceless, something we might never get back: an idea of our country.” Heartbreaking, enraging and yet, still hopeful. iandunt.substack.com/p/brexit-fiv...
