Amusing,but the observation on #Badenoch are interesting…
‘It got combative from the start. Kemi seemingly furious that Husain had actually done her homework. .
Of more interest to her was a quick soundbite in an ongoing culture war. To create a wedge with Labour. Though in reality Labour and the Tories are not so far apart on trans issues these days.’
Abolished but not retrospectively! What - were the decisions made by judges before 2012 somehow correct, sensible or humane? And for the ‘law and order' fiends, did this even reduce the costs of such inhumane treatment, or ‘lock em up and forget’ policy?
Can someone please introduce David Cameron to the Israeli government?
Guardian: “It’s clear the Israelis are making a decision to act,” and that “We hope they do so in a way that does as little to escalate this as possible [Cameron said].”
".. after announcing his resignation in front of a throng of journalists Cameron, whistling to himself, strolled back into 10 Downing Street: search for those images because they clearly reveal an untrustworthy irresponsible individual."
EL PAÍS on the current British Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, "Call me Dave" Cameron, and this week's negotiations aimed at resolving the shitshow created by #Brexit in Gibraltar and Spain.
Am I alone in thinking that the ‘Rwanda’ policy is just a wheeze to get Conservative MPs air miles, and that is before any suggestion of a smokescreen for other malfeasances. (Nice word, suits JRM and his cabal)
It is being reported in the Times that the latest scheme is to pay refugees ‘thousands’ to voluntarily go to Rwanda. We already pay Bravermann, Sunak and Badenoch thousands - might they wish to take advantage of their largesse and go as well?
Macavity’s a Mystery Cat: he’s called the Hidden Paw—
For he’s the master criminal who can defy the Law.
He’s the bafflement of Scotland Yard, the Flying Squad’s despair:
For when they reach the scene of crime—Macavity’s not there!
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
A bit of a diatribe, but Stevenson, the interviewee makes some fine point that need to be thought about. As an ex-trader he makes some coherent observations about wealth, Covid spending and the benefices

"Money saved by scrapping [HS2] to Manchester will be spent on repairing roads in London – sparking disbelief from MPs in the north of England.
"The Department for Transport announced on Wednesday that £235 million has been pledged to every London borough with money recouped after HS2’s northern leg was scrapped."
From The National: "Tories spark disbelief as rerouted HS2 cash spent on LONDON roads."
Councils facing bankruptcy (114 Notice) are a direct result of Tory cuts. Councils mandated 2 carry out certain tasks e.g. problems with homelessness. Not only have Tories initiated massive cuts, Tory Govts have failed to tackle these problems nationally. https://rb.gy/l31ror#ToryIncompetence#ToryCorruption#ToryCostOfGreedCrisis
