Investment advice from Liz Truss, I’ve just soiled myself.
Amazing isn’t it. She did same degree as me with same tutors at the same college a few years ahead of me. I cannot comprehend how it ended up here.
With apologies for the bad language but what in the gibbering Hades is this fucking nonsense?
This neatly puts how I’ve been thinking about
Absolute state of this old racist, abusing a Muslim couple. I hope the local police in Leicester have paid him a visit.
“Sourdough. In aisle 9. Woke bloody sourdough.”
“I thought if we tried to look more like the racists we might beat them” is really just about the stupidest strategy anyone has ever adopted. Have none of these people ever read any history?
💯 this.
Tell me it’s all a dream.
“England, England, uber alles… 🎶”
The problem with X. Clearly AI. And clearly Paris. 🤦🏻♂️
Didn’t stop them on x sadly
It seems the racist flag shaggers and thugs don’t use this site or post their rioting footage on it, is this too good to be true?
Please make it stop it’s so embarrassing.
Jesus Christ
I would have said: “I like our flag, but the way it is being used by some shames our nation and shows the very worst of us to the world which is the opposite of patriotism.”
We’re almost in ‘my flag is bigger than your flag’ land now what a country of bloody toddlers.
Is it a bit pathetic for a PM to have to tell us he has an England flag on his wall at home? Feels a bit desperate to me. I wonder how long he’s had it there.
👍
If we connected on X and I’m not following you, please wave 👋
What is AEW?
Right, I'm done with X, as per my thread today on there. Will focus better on this place now. The other is uninhabitable. I hope news organisations are using this site properly, as we need their content.
So nice for the Lionesses to be hosted in the Downing Street garden - hasn’t been a party that big there since Boris Johnson celebrated the second lockdown.
Messy. Messi.
God, I’m so sorry Ireland, first the potato famine and now this. 😬
Swapping terminals, not really missing a country that takes about four decades to decide to build airports, railways, power stations or any kind of pleasant and functional infrastructure. 🇸🇬 ♥️
Christ this is like when your cousin offers to take your grandpa and his mates to the seaside for a day out and sends you a selfie from the pier.
Just checked in on the great British patriots’ Dover protest live stream again and it’s all going really well.
Just tuned in to the YouTube live stream of the Dover Beach Protest to make sure the promised millions of great English patriots had all turned up in their traditional dress and I can confirm it is going exactly as you’d expect. 😬😂
Very mean of Coldplay to turn their camera on this - it’s just humiliation now, please just stop, you’ve done enough damage.
Several Tory MPs currently sending back their Coldplay tickets.
Genius. Are you on X? Post that reply there too if so. 👏
This man is about to discover Coldplay tickets cost even more than Oasis.
On the basis of the last decade in UK politics, I am entirely in favour of people who can’t yet buy alcohol being given the vote.
The problem with this government is it’s an incoherent mix of Corbyn economics on wealth creation, Sunak economics on poverty alleviation, Biden’s foreign policy of hand wringing whilst doing nothing, and utterly futile attempts to ‘fix’ Brexit. All an open goal for populists.
The people who furiously denied betraying Afghans during the botched evacuation by not letting them in are mainly the same people who now bending over backwards to explain why we had to let them in. What absolute pond life we have had in charge of this place at times. Urgh.
That’s my CBE down the bog.
As someone who spends more and more time in countries where meritocracy rules, I can but sigh. I know of no country where mediocrity is so revered at every opportunity.
At least he is now fully qualified to be on the Reform UK candidates list.
“There’s a vacancy presenting Masterchef, you say?”
This appeared out of the blue to frame the perfect farewell dusk shot. Goodbye, wonderful Venice 🇮🇹♥️
Just a reminder that the people who want to stop Net Zero will be the first to blame migrants when none of our infrastructure can cope with runaway climate change. 👍
If Parliament is recalled for a day Nigel’s attendance record would immediately double. 👌
Just rang the DWP to say I have hayfever and they’ve sent me this.
Is this part of the new ‘one in, one out’ policy.
Kudos to Nigel for going all the way out to sea just to show how much worse the channel crossings have become since Brexit, that takes real courage. 👏
The '1 in, 1 out' migration system is identical to how Reform deals with its MPs.
Filed under ‘Barnard Castle eye test/Prince Andrew cannot sweat’ type situations.
Britain will always be an increasingly irrelevant backwater and laughing stock for as long as people like this dominate its commentariat. She really is an imbecile, can barely believe she is an adult.
Extraordinary that we had a Prime Minister, sorry I mean lettuce, who said the jury was out on whether France, a NATO ally, was a friend or foe. She looks even sillier today.
Greg Wallace will soon be sufficiently qualified to become a local councillor for Reform.
There's so much new corporate parlance these days that I'm seriously worried if you 'lean in' to something whilst also 'pivoting' to it you might derail your 'level-set' and end up 'circling back' into the 'deep dive' from where you began. Please, in the name of God, stop it.
SO bored of people coming up with this or that tax idea to raise £10bn or £20bn, “a tax on this, penalise that, charge more for the other”. Wherever you see big holes in the public finances, their digger is called BREXIT. The way to fill them is to undo as much of it as we can.
I’m so confused now.
Musk has gone from supporting the Democrats to bankrolling Trump, working for Trump and taking his kid everywhere with Trump to setting up a rival party all in a matter of months. He is like Liz Truss on speed.
Always makes me laugh that these people ever thought they could run a country.
Is this because they’ve gone back to 1955?
A timely reminder that no matter how tiny, irrelevant and irredeemably out of office they’ve become, the modern Tory Party is still graced with some of the least pleasant humans on earth.
Blindingly obvious that Reeves (most of whose policies I dislike) has a distressing personal issue. That’s her business. Also obvious if her seat had been empty today people would have screamed she was running scared after the vote yesterday. She’s a brave woman to show up. 👏
Man who was so out of his depth he drowned an entire economy is now giving opinions on people being out of their depth, I can’t breathe.
No, you've read it wrong. Trust me, two of my kids were within one metre of what happened at the parade. What I meant was he was, it seems, a right wing white bloke - as seen by the twitter accounts he followed. Nothing to do with what city he was from.
It’s tricky for the ‘cancel culture’ people when someone they don’t like gets cancelled, they go a bit quiet, like when they discovered the Liverpool football parade driver was basically one of them.
God I'd forgotten that
Oh good another nutbag right wing party. We now have Reclaim, Advance, Reform, UKIP. Anyone else?
Two years ago @glastonburyfestivals.co.uk - the best day. 🚀 #elton #glastonbury ♥️
I think chanting ‘death death to the IDF’ at a music festival, given all the young Israeli lives lost at a similar music festival is, frankly, horrible. I loathe this Israeli government and what has been done to people in Gaza, but screaming death threats at Glasto helps no one.
People at @glastonburyfestivals.co.uk tomorrow should turn up to Rod Stewart with huge flags listing all the Farage Brexit promises that turned out to be bollocks (yes, that’s all of them). #Glastonbury
Man who has named a draft parliamentary bill ‘Lucy’s Law’ after a racist woman who called for migrant hotels to be burnt to the ground says he feels unsafe in the company of a group of peaceful, mostly stoned, hippies. What a flake. ❄️
Suspect Glasto disagrees… This is a bit like shitting on your own cake just before presenting it to Mary Berry. #Glastonbury ⛺️
“There is now no precedent for it”, except for the precedent that the entirely deranged, barely sentient Tory party membership has been choosing absolutely cretinous, predictably catastrophic leaders and then dumping them quickly for several years now.
Whether you like his answers or not, Tony Blair can usually answer literally any question. Except this one. I feel his pain.
Please keep choosing the more sustainable options on Amazon whilst all the private jets fly to Venice for its owner’s wedding.
LOL
If nothing else, the events of recent days show how increasingly impotent Europe (including the UK) has become. We are really just observers. Huge shifts in geopolitical centres of power.
Ah, it’s 23rd June, better known as National Suicide Memorial Day. #BrexitisaDisaster #idiocracy #stillpickingupthepieces #pointless #brexitshambles
Thoughts with Isabel Oakeshott, who has saved some VAT by moving to a war zone.
Been out of UK for most of last 4 weeks. Return to stories of people being evacuated from overheated trains, urgent email from water company warning of low supplies, further delay to HS2, farcical confusion by HMRC, broken baggage belt, poorly stocked supermarkets. All a mess. 💩
🇬🇷 ♥️
Just an American congressman being completely normal.
Apart from the fact no one at GB News can spell, this is what your Prime Minister in waiting, who rarely votes in Parliament, is focussing on as the world weighs up the benefits of starting World War 3.
All our other entries into Middle East wars have gone so well. 🤦🏻♂️
If I could change one single thing in the world it would be to remove all religious extremism (in all its forms, applicable to all religions) as far away from politics and government as possible. It really does, as Hitchens said, poison everything. You?
Truly pathetic symptom of UK stagnation; our ongoing infrastructure constipation. It was funny sitting in dynamic Asia last week watching gushing news coverage (here not there) of 🇬🇧 managing to commission one new power station after 35 years. They do one a week. Now this. 🤦🏻♂️
I’m not saying Brexit was inevitable but some parts of the British electorate are having Botox and bum lifts done in public urinals.
Cartoonists may retire.
Can anyone name anything useful she got done? I’m really struggling here.
The young chap in the middle looks as if he’s already planning his escape to California from the sheer, stultifying pointlessness of his predicament.
Happy Father’s Day, which it is for me as this weekend also coincides with being 8 years very happily sober. That remains the best decision I’ve ever made. 🎉 🙌 ☺️ #FathersDay
Imagine if Reform were in government right now. They can’t even run a Council committee. Doesn’t bear thinking about.
The socials are filled with Reform supporting loonies thinking she was sending a secret political message to the nation today and I can’t breathe for the sheer stupidity of almost everything.
If they’re doing this by public ballot I’m going to enter for next year.
You can support Palestinian people with all your heart but this honestly doesn’t mean you must also support Iran, which treats women worse than any animal, and whose regime definitely shouldn’t have any form of nuclear weaponry. It’s really weird to watch people siding with it.
Has the royal family been overthrown by some other people.
It’s quite possible I’m wrong. But just putting it out there.

And yes I know, Thatcher, Indira Gandhi, quite bellicose characters, Truss a cretin, etc. But in general I think it would be better, and safer.
Dunno if it’s just me but with all these mostly very old men in charge bombing each others’ civilians in many corners of the earth I’m starting to wonder if we should let women have a go running things. Would there be quite as much carnage? Frankly I doubt it.
How does a species actually survive this sort of idiocy? 🤷🏻♂️
