Sitting in the shade enjoying the first day of my holiday and I'm already half way through Rory Stewart's "Politics on the Edge". It's a beautifully written if slightly concerning run through his political career and how the system fails us. #ukpolitics #books
You know, even if Wes Streeting was right, this is an absolutely shitty way to be talking about someone else. Wes Streeting should be ashamed of this.

"Starmer says UK will recognise Palestinian statehood in September unless Israel agrees ceasefire and two-state solution”
Erm, surely, if a two state solution was implemented, then we would recognise the state of Palestine so none of this makes any sense??

The Labour party leadership is likely hoping there's at least 2 candidates for the Deputy Leader otherwise it will be treated as a fix.

It has just occurred to me that all these places with the locals hanging England flags up on lampposts is actually a great thing.
It makes it so much easier to see where not to buy a new house…

Every single word of this.

For fucks sake - there are actual, important, and urgent things that need money spending on them. Today. 🤦♀️

Oh the irony!
Wes Streeting suggesting that Donald Trump is wrong to stop prescribing paracetamol (as we know it here) without any evidence it is causing harm is EXACTLY WHAT HE IS DOING by stopping prescribing of puberty suppressing drugs in children experiencing gender incongruence. Literally, exactly the same - no evidence, just politics.

Just hearing about a guy who is going round taking down these England flags and then selling them on eBay back the the very people who are putting them up.
Made £217 so far, apparently.

So, in which way is Keir Starmer going to fuck up announcing recognition of Palestine today?

Just in case it wasn’t clear, Lucy Connolly, from Northampton, is a racist criminal.

“…barred from being in possession of a flag in a public space” 🤣🤣🤣

Most predictable headline ever. 🤦♀️

So, Donald Trump has left the UK. Keir Starmer is chalking this up as another quick turnaround in his “one in one out” policy…

Just thinking about this OSA thing and I’ve still not come across a site that is blocking me or requiring proof of my age. Maybe I just look at the wrong websites?

I can't quite decide if this article is Wes Streeting simply taking the absolute piss or finally realising he fucked up and now might be thinking of walking back somewhat.
Either way, he was part of causing all this hatred.

Just for clarification, dear namesake, rules and red tape are acting as a “boot on the neck” of *bad* businesses.
Good businesses don’t need to worry about rules and red tape as they don’t need rules to stop them doing bad things.

The only good reason for the afterlife to exist, as per bible, would be for Norman Tenbit to arrive at the gates to Heaven to be told to “Get on your bike, Norman”.

UK Gov to review taxes on gambling.
I know what to do - charge a completely random amount between 0 and 100% on winnings. Ask yourself, are you feeling lucky??
