Surely Yorkshire!
If Musk goes too far he could be charged with Sedition against the UK State. UK Sedition laws still apply to non-UK citizens engaging in seditious acts against the UK State. An UK criminal conviction could seriously disrupt his business operations in the UK and Europe.
Time to ditch FPTP.
Hopefully this will happen. FPTP is way past its expiry date. I worry that Starmer was dazzled by the last General Election results and thinks theycan be replacated again. Also why not have 2 supplementary votes.
Has he done an "Elvis"?
🤣🤣🤣
Hopefully Labour might start acknowledging that FPTP is permantly discredited and not fit for purpose and at least introduce Supplementary Voting for all future elections if they consider that they do not yet have an electoral mandate to introduce PR.
Hopefully streetparties everywhere 🥳
Hopefully there willbe street parties and bonfires across the USA and World to celebrate 🥳
Vibes of North Korea. Heaping sychophantic praise on Excellent Superior Comrade King Don Trump, Glorious Leader of 350 million Americans.
Hail Excellent Superior Comrade King Don Trump, Glorious Leader of 350 million Americans 😄
It would be quite funny if Ed Davey adopted Clacton as a constituency and would go down there once a month to hold surgeries to talk to voters about their issues. It could seriously embarass Farage.

😄
Perhaps 'In Patagonia' - the novel/travel book by Bruce Chatwin?
Kim Don Trump, the Glorious Leader of 300 million Americans gives on the spot guidance to various lackeys he calls his "Cabinet".

Burn Trump pictures
Impressive. The Oil Age may be ending very quickly notwithstanding Trump's best efforts.
Time for Electoral reform.
Blue States should call Trump's bluff and set up their own State Defence Forces outside the National Guard programme.
Next they will be advocating machine gunning the refugees in the water 😬
The Right-Wing Media are getting desperate as the Silly Season comes to an end and nothing has really happened. Soon the Autumn weather will drive the low lifes indoors.
Once we had Sedition laws against such conspiracies.
I suspect Vance had Korea and Vietnam in mind. It's very unlikely that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine will end in the unconditional surrender of Russia anymore than the Vietnam war ended in the unconditional surrender of the USA!
Perhaps the Gov might seize the opportunity to use these to justify rejoining the Customs Union and/or the Single Market. Trump is making the case for them by his increasingly erattic and arbitrary tariff decisions.
So did the German Conservatives in 1933. Von Papen and Hugenburg were quite convinced they could control the Nazis through Schleicher. One of them was murdered by the Nazis, one narrowley escaped being murdered and the other was deftly sidelined and retired to the backwoods.
US Big Oil & Gas are really desperate to stall renewables.
I suspect she is protected by Mossad anyhow. She'll be flying to Israel soon.
What's Maxwell's definition of "inappropriate"? I suspect it has a very low threshold point!
She tread where even Trump feared to go. She will be relentlessly hunted down and crushed 🤣🤣🤣
More like the 100 day storm now!
Poor Kemi 😢
Yep. Cokey Robinson reckons he would have been a crime boss back in those Good Ole Days and one of the winners 'cause he's an Alpha Male 😄
That would undermine the case for paying National Insuance and bankrupt the Gov. Why would current employees pay for something they were unlikely to receive in the future? I suspect this is just another ploy to prop up the stockmarket as the baby boomers retire and sell off their shares!
Also Davy Crockett.
Congress should be conerned about intimidation.
I suspect many Republicans are actively plotting against him. They are getting nervous about the mid-terms and their donor patrons are getting nervous about the economy.
Maybe King Donald should reflect on the fate of King Charles. This is all going to end in an epic clash between Trump and Congress and my money is on Congress.
Will he use them to obstruct Congress when they try to impeach and remove them. A re-run of the English Civil War imminent - Paliament -v- King 😬
Perhaps a long prison sentence for Cokie Robinson will dampen the enthusiasm of many Far-Right thugs.
Also hoping there are Far-Right gobshites stupid enough to risk prison by kicking off riots.
If Congress depose Trump, Vance is likely to be a little nervous that they may make a habit of it which may deter his excesses.
It's complex. The theory is that the insuance company can manage the annuity risks better by pooling longevity/mortality risk, credit risks of underlying investments and admin costs better. This reduces Rolls Royce's business risks and potentially risk to employees' future pensions.
Trying to turn the White House into Versailles 😄
To annex part of Ukraine, Russia will be forced to take Alaska as well 😄
Have you sought legal advice about travelling to Ireland on your US passport and entering the UK under the CTA as no UK passport is required as far as I'm aware?
There was a law against Sedition by UK citizens but Blair removed it! Now only applies to foreign citizens.
Hopefully the rises of Reform and Your Party will at last focus Labour and the Tories on ditching FPTP and improving the electoral system.
I suspect Satan will be coming soon to collect his debts outstanding from Trump. One Creditor Trump will not be able to stuff by filing for bankruptcy 😄
Testing their sychophancy levels are high enough 😄
Given Alaska is likely to become a financial burden to the US Gov in the coming decades, offloading it unto Russia might make sense.
Far more people wanted the Tories to call General Elections throughout their terms in Office to no effect whatsoever.
He may be US President in a few weeks once he has ousted Trump over the Epstein papers 😬
Those are the only lines of the poem I remember after nearly 50 years 😄
People were prosecuted for Sedition in the past for writing less inflamatory articles than the Telegraph, Mail and Express have recently published.
It will take a decade to see major onshoring on manufacturing. Will the tariffs really last that long once they start to be painful for US consumers?
Harman really has deep strategic thinking skill 😄
Does the buffalo get to keep his mounted head? 😄
Jacob who? 😄
I suspect their call for the abolition of nuclear weapons is about as realistic as the survivors of Nanking calling for the abolition of the bayonet.
I suspect the Republicans are already plotting Trump's removal. May be only a matter of weeks now. Could Vance be in the White House by Xmas?
I suspect weaving was invented long before agriculture.
Thousands probably leave every year anyhow due to retirement or emigration.
Rewarding failure 😄
Rewarding failure 😄
Alison is truly deranged 😄
I've gotten myself new garden hedge clippers in anticipation of everything kicking off tomorrow 😄
Will make a great T-shirt 😄
The Gov could hold a referendum approving building closer relations with the EU including rejoining on acceptable terms (to Parliament).
Very Neo-Oligarch
Abolish the TV Licence.
Perhaps completely replace IHT with an annual wealth tax with different rates on different assets reflecting their public usefullness.
His concern about Whales reminds me of Bill the Butcher's concern about rabbits in 'Gangs of New York' 😄
I suspect EU Chiefs believe Trump will be a historic problem soon. Better to just minimise the damage for the moment.
Introduce citizenship based direct taxes like the USA and their threats become ineffective.
You left out rhe final step: she is immediately flown to Israel.
So good 🤣🤣🤣
🤣
Desperate for volunteers stupid enough to go to prison on their behalf. Are there enough of these to cause serious unrest?
I hope Reform Ltd is paying corporation tax on its income from "members"!
I bet she will be flying to Israel soon.
I suspect Maxwell has been spared the same fate as Epstein because she is a foreign spy whereas Epstein was a traitor. I suspect she will be released as part of a secret diplomatic deal.
I suspect Toady MacToad-Face feels that Reform StormTroopers armed with kitchen knives and sweeping brushes are unlikely to intimidate the Police or Public.
Insular forever 😄
What are we all going to fight each other with? Knives and crossbows? 😄
Is Toady MacToad-Face upset again 😄
I'm surprised he didn't say "Massa" 😄
Sucking up to Musk will not change his views on UK politics. Best to fight him head on and hit him very hard.
"War is a racket" - General Smedley Butler
Both could be in Hell by the time this gets to Court 😄
Shilling for Big Oil
The Coup is under way. Donnie will be dumped soon. Thankfully he has already thrashed the GOP badly enough that they may lose the mid-term elections.
Good move while there are still fools willing to buy it.
Farage will promise anything to get power just like Trump.
He did draft the Austrian Military draft by going to Munich though my theory is that he was an Austrian Police spy who was discovered and was moved to Munich for his safety.
Irish mythological history may be broadly accurate as to the bigger trends once the mythical personalties are treated as such. Archaeology and DNA analysis support the tales of superfamines and epidemics largely destroying successive prehistoric population waves.
His Creditor 👹 came to collect his soul 😄
JD is waiting 😬
