Hello, sorry to bother you on a Sunday morning, but we can’t help but notice our poll numbers are still a bit of a disaster. We’ve got plans to be as cruel as we can be to some vulnerable and desperate people, but it’s hard to stay motivated when votes aren’t forthcoming. Are we cruel enough yet?

People cheering the Govt’s talk about leaving the ECHR is like little pigs demanding the wolf legislate for dwellings to be made exclusively of straw.

My youngest has learning difficulties. Everyone finds exams tough, she finds them a torture. She did her cookery NEA today and her SEN teacher emailed to say how well she’d done and how proud they were of her and I’m a teary mess and teachers are the very best people.

Nothing Donald Trump has ever done or will ever do has added as much joy to the world as the sight of a room full of lawyers dancing to “Shake it Off” at the International Bar Association conference in Tokyo #TeamTaylor

The Govt appears to have confirmed that the requirement that you earn £38,700 before your foreign national spouse can live with you in the UK will apply to visa renewals for spouses already in the country. This is unfathomably evil. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/foreign-spouse-migration-crackdown-earn-b2458988.html

Yes, he does pay his fines, unlike how he treats his lawyers & employees.

Via Klasfeld:

#Trump's lawyer Alina #Habba submitted her client's gag order sanctions payment to court today.

In a letter, Habba said this doesn't waive any appellate rights over the penalty.

Sunak’s calculation seems to be that the longer he outstays his welcome the more popular he will become. #UKPolitics

It's time for me to put the garden furniture away in the shed until Spring. For some reason, this always proves a depressing moment.

Yet again, I continue to marvel at the persistence of the human belief that a better world is just a few more murders away. #Politics

The Fediverse is starting to feel unwelcoming to me as a person who has spiritual beliefs.

I agree that: Religion, like any philosophy, is often used as a tool of oppression. That is evil.

I hope you can agree with me that: People of Faith & Spiritual Humanists can be as awesome AND as awful as the members of ANY other group.

So ...

If ya'll could stop calling people like me stupid (or worse, fascist), I'd be appreciative. Many of us are out here fighting the baddies alongside you.

My wife has spent the weekend binge-watching something called “Meet, Marry, Kill” which does seem a wholly positive development.

We have a new approach to achieving net zero: not achieving net zero.

The sky is exploding over London at the moment with the most energetic storm

I like to think I’m not competitive but it is otherwise difficult to explain why I have done 12k xp on #Duolingo this week to stay ahead of a guy called Said who most likely doesn’t even know I exist.

If we could adopt one aspect of primary school and import it into court procedure it should be play time. We should be periodically released to run around outside until a bell rings #CivilProcedureReform

Quite apart from the fact that re-joining #Horizon is great news for science, it also means that every time the govt wants to boast about and consequent achievements it will be reinforcing the value of co-operation within the EU.

28 years ago last night, the night before my wedding, my friend Graham made the profound and ruinous mistake of approaching the bar of a pub on the Royal Mile, Edinburgh and saying “What’s the best Whisky you’ve got? I’ll have four doubles”. #Scotland #Whisky #Ruination

Xenophobes: We’re full!

Also xenophobes: We’re not having enough babies.
