I’m simply over the moon to whack another chunk of my hard earned cash to #AndrewBailey and his banker mates who are now running London. It’s such a privilege to be paying these folk, knowing the great work they do. Beyond the crippling #interestrates I’m always especially delighted that they deliberately designed a national mortgage market that’s massively more expensive and destabilising for customers than the one they designed in the USA. #gtto#30yearfixedrates
Dear Michael Gove, the Conservatives are not American Republicans, leave the fucking bastard fundamental 'Christian' religion out of it you utterly nasty piece of shit.
Life expectancy at birth in the UK in 2020 to 2022 was 78.6 years for males and 82.6 years for females; compared with 2017 to 2019, life expectancy has fallen by 38 weeks from 79.3 years for males and by 23 weeks from 83.0 years for females.
And no, it’s not just COVID-19. Plateau started in 2011, decline in 2017.
Also, it seems kind of ironic that the woman who said "If you believe you are a citizen of the world, you are a citizen of nowhere" should announce her intention to stand down at the next election on International Women's Day!
We're all citizens of the world. We need more internationalism, not less. There's only one planet, and it's time we started to act responsibly to save it!
I was slightly surprised to hear Theresa May (one of several former failed Prime Ministers south of the border) has decided to step down at the next election.
Aside from the fact she cannot possibly go any further down than she already is, thanks to her political insignificance now, I thought she had already slunk off.
"There was no real argument to Sunak’s speech. Nor was there any real rhetorical power. He is a prime minister unfortunately blessed with levitas. It’s almost impossible to take what he is saying seriously.
Least of all in his speech was any policy. Sunak just wanted to spend 10 minutes sharing his innermost fears with the nation without offering any solutions."
In a country that claims to be so rich. where the chancellor is wants tax cuts, self inflicted food inflation is higher than anywhere in Europe, the PM had special power lines installed to heat his swimming pool, and a Conservative candidate is ‘pleased to have food banks in her constituency and 30p exists. The moral consistency of the UK never fails to sicken me.
@Wen I give to foodbanks every week when I do my shop.
Pisses me off every time that it is needed.
The increase is down to #ToryIncompetence and #ToryCorruption
