A man builds an IED. He sets it off in a busy public street. Shrapnel flies about hitting cars, homes and a child's bedroom. It's a miracle nobody is injured. And Reform MP Sarah Pochin calls his imprisonment "disproportionate" and "two tier justice."

"The Bank of England was set up by Tony Blair" It's easy to forget that Tony Blair had been in power since 1694 when the Bank of England was founded. Good job Brain of Britain Liz Truss is here to remind us.

I'm getting the word...

HORRIFIED Judge rules that privately owning AI-generated child sexual abuse material is protected by the 1st Amendment WTF 1) This normalises child sexual abuse 2) This feeds the depravity - where do you think that leads? 3) WHAT do they think these AI models are trained on?

1<= Stephen Hawking did warn us. AI could be the 'idiot savant', a sort of genius parrot, who blows up the world without even knowing what the world is.

The Tommy Robinson marches too - 20% of those arrested have a history of domestic violence....ironic as one of their big things is to 'protect our women and girls’. Begging the question - from who?

"Dear Diary, I asked my lawyers if I could sue Ben Habib for saying I was paid £1m to throw an election. They said of course - as long as he's lying. Bollocks - back to the drawing board...."

This is neither illegal nor wrong Which is why Farage didn't tell anybody about his secret £5m bung from an offshore crypto oligarch, and when it was uncovered his party *literally* begged for more time to work out a response Like any law-abiding citizen would www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

In Reform-led Worcestershire Council we are planning the highest council tax rise in England. Yes, we promised to lower taxes, but only a gullible fuckwit would believe that, right? 😉 Vote Reform, get what you deserve!

As this horrendous image of a member of the royal family is released, NEVER FORGET that the queen paid over £12 million of OUR money to protect this monster. If you defend that family in any way, I hope that you choke on the leather of their boots.

44% of the population of Denton and Gorton are ethnic minority, the majority of them born in the UK. Reform's candidate says those people aren't British and are liable for deportation. It's a bold electoral strategy: vote for me and I'll throw you into the sea. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

theguardian.comReform byelection candidate refuses to disown claim that people born in UK not necessarily BritishMatthew Goodwin, who is standing in Gorton and Denton, said UK-born people from minority ethnic backgrounds were not always British

Tom Watson reposted

Matt Goodwin says this is "a chance for the hardworking, law-abiding, tax-paying people," such as his boss, Nigel Farage, who doesn't do his job in parliament, lied about why he avoided constituency work, admitted to breaking 17 laws last week alone, and still faces questions about tax avoidance.

Engaging in mental gymnastics to justify what's convenient but unevidenced, unjust but personally beneficial, 'rewires your neural map' in ways that degrade your overall ability to understand and analyze the world around you, which is a precondition for intelligence and creativity.

What more do you need to know about Reform UK?? Seriously, what more do you need to know before you realise they are a bunch of self serving grifters? THIS man took money, he was NOT entitled to, from YOU to heat his horse stables! Have you forgotten that? He is a complete cvnt.
