I honestly don't know who's worse, Hancock or Johnson.
GPLB: "He (former NHS England Chief Executive Simon Stevens) says Hancock “took the position that in this situation (if the NHS was overwhelmed) he, rather than the medical profession or the public, should ultimately decide who should live and who should die”. #UKPolitics#CovidInquiry#JailThemAll
Fuuuuuck me. This must be the dictionary definition of doubling down.
Homelessness is a "lifestyle choice".
Tweet by Suella Braverman, this morning.
"The British people are compassionate. We will always support those who are genuinely homeless. But we cannot allow our streets to be taken over by rows of tents occupied by people, many of them from abroad, living on the streets as a lifestyle choice." #UKPolitics#Homelessness#FuckTheTories
The belief that private school students can just waltz into grammar schools as some kind of "second choice" is a perfect example of the educational exceptionalism these people think is their right.
I met so many stupid people from public schools at my university. The idea that they would have either been selected or passed the 11+ to get into my (or any other) grammar school is for the birds.
Paying for a "first class education" doesn't make you intelligent.
I think I've shrunk in the wash. Put on a clean dress after my shower and promptly almost brained myself falling over it because it's now too long.
What is even happening?
GPLB: "Starmer says he is confident Labour can generate more growth because his plans to achieve it realistic"
Vic Derbyshire: "How are you going to do that?"
Starmer: "We're going to create growth"

When the thing you were stomping around the house looking for turns out to be under the massive pile of unput away laundry, I'd say that was karma giving you a kick in the arse, wouldn't you? #Life
@MadeyeTheCarnaptious It seems the full text of Labour's motion is even weaker than anticipated - check this out as a sub-clause:
" ... noting that Israel cannot be expected to cease fighting if Hamas continues with violence and that Israelis have the right to the assurance that the horror of 7th October cannot happen again ... "

This morning: "EU Commission president calls on Israel and Iran to refrain from escalation"
Also this morning: "[Itamar] Ben Gvir, a member of Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ruling coalition, on Friday wrote a one word post on X that reportedly means ‘feeble’ in Hebrew slang, suggesting that Israel was behind the blasts but its action was weak, reports AFP." (Guardian)
Making a real effort to prevent further escalation then. Marvellous.
