No surprise there.
A teenage council leader from Reform UK becomes a petulant child that walks out when Channel 4 News ask him awkward question. Doesn't he realise that he's a public servant? Or He's simply emulating his glorious leader!! #BBCBreakfast #r4today
The "leader" of my local council. 😡
Reform's George Finch, the 19-year-old leader of Warwickshire county council, pushes forward plans to spend £150,000 on hiring political advisers despite pledging to cut waste and save money. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…
The president of the United States is so fucking unhinged, and so easily triggered by comedians on tv, he wants them permanently banned and silenced.
I worked in an office for four years in the '70s and absolutely hated the routine and the office politics. Leaving was good for my mental health. Going freelance and working from home was the best decision I ever made. I'd encourage anyone to work from home if they wished to.
This working from home SHIT has to stop, it’s destroying mental health for millions of young people, and forcing many others to spend far more on housing just for the extra office space. It may suit middle class, middle aged, middle management, it does not suit most young people.
The news and social media is designed to wear us down, to make us paranoid, angry, and depressed. What do they gain from this? I guess bad news sells better than good news but there's got to be another reason. Social control I presume, but what's the end game?
If true, this is atrocious. Many elderly people don't have good health and tons of savings. The govt like to pretend we're all living in some comfortable utopia with large families to help out and holidaying on cruise ships. Govt priority should be to look after its people!
News from civil servants preparing Liz Kendall's pensions review. Kendall wants to look at "phasing in" the pension starting with 25% of a pension at age 68 and getting 100% of the pension at age 72. This will be represented as not affecting the triple lock. It's already the…
the reason why right wing men refuse to talk about violence against women when it isn’t related to immigration is because they know they’re part of the problem. they’re at a protest meant to be about “protecting women and girls” yet they’re sexually harassing the women there
"Protect our women." *Start Onlyfans we will subscribe*
The most offensive thing about Reform, besides the racism, is the absolute lack of originality. They’re just following the blueprint of the most imbecilic dictator in history, word for word. Anti foreigner but happy to import MAGA authoritarianism via conspiracy. Because, money.
Leaving the ECHR means losing the last legal shield against government overreach. They could gut benefits and the safety net, scrap protections, raise the retirement age, deny healthcare and you'd have no way to fight back. it’s about full state control. ⚠️❌
It’s time to leave the ECHR. Find out how tomorrow morning at 10am…
Farage should never be interviewed without being forced to answer for failures of Brexit. That the man whose lies fuelled Brexit vote which has cost UK Billions & who said Liz Truss budget was “best Tory budget since 1986” could be trusted on *anything* is mind-boggling #bbclaura
Come on Laura - stop letting Farage get away with grotesque lies on #climate - the green economy is growing 3 times faster than rest of the economy. The green transition is in our *economic interests* & it’s Farage who’ll de-industrialise the UK, not green policy #bbclaurak
This thread is worth a read ...
Important notes re. the “riots” 1. People have been made violent about immigration, it’s been embedded by a rich far right, media normalisation, constant uncritical platforming of extremists and conspiracy. Factually, it’s about radicalisation not girls or legitimate concerns.
Anyone who watched last night's documentary "Our Lives" on fans of 'The Prisoner' might be interested in this comic I did collecting my satirical strips on the topic. 😉 Available exclusively from me at ko-fi.com/s/aca35fd9c0
BREAKING: Rachael Maskell has become the fourth Labour MP to be suspended from Keir Starmer's party today. Just listen to her impassioned speech and tell me she deserved this. What on earth is the PM thinking?
Labour MP Rachael Maskell close to tears as she 'pleads' with the government to abandon planned welfare cuts 'These Dickensian cuts belong to a different era and a different party', she said How on earth has it come to this?
Everyone working in the creative industries who uses WeTransfer should follow this thread....
How is this acceptable, @WeTransfer? You’re not a free service, I *pay* you to shift my big artwork files. I DON’T pay you to have the right to use them to train AI or print, sell and distribute my artwork and set yourself up as a commercial rival to me, using my own work.😡
Here's a preview of part of my Daft Dimension strip that you'll find in the latest @DWMtweets (issue 619). In shops on Thursday 17th July! #DoctorWho
