Mad men…

A bishop says “But I didn’t do anything”. A priest replies “Well that’s kind of the problem”

This. This. This.

And that message carries across a huge range of circumstances.

This is an oligarchy.

The founders never intended people to have this much power… EVER

Stop the oligarchy

Thank you for this vote of confidence @donkoclock.bsky.social. 🙏 💙

Donald Trump didn’t win by a historic landslide. It’s time to nip that lie in the bud | Mehdi Hasan In 2024, we have a new post-election lie – Trump didn’t just win, Republicans say, but he won big. He won a landslide. That’s false

"Trump won the crucial blue wall states... by 231,000 votes? So if just 116,000 voters across those three swing states – or 0.7% of the total – had switched from Trump to Harris, it is the vice-president who would have won the electoral college … and the presidency" - me for the Guardian:

The people of South Korea didn't wait, they showed up. Immediately.

This obituary for the award-winning costume designer of Peaky Blinders, Stephanie Collie, is a wonderful tribute to her research process and skill. It’s easy to criticise costumes in TV historical dramas, but historical inaccuracies are rarely errors, they’re often storytelling choices

Greggs Wallace ponders if he is out of touch, but decides it's middle class women if a certain age who are wrong

Gregg Wallace: “I can see the complaints coming from a handful of middle-class women of a certain age”

What happened to those post-Brexit farm subsidies? We need a discussion about UK food and farming, our resilience to external and self-inflicted events, and where the money is going

Boris Johnson promised farmers that “subsidies would stay - 100% guaranteed”.

🚜 The National Farmers’ Union council was overwhelmingly in support of “Remain”, but decided not to campaign outright, as it would upset some of their larger farmers who were cheering Brexit.

Trump just endorsed Fine for Congress. He kicks off his campaign with this.

Sigh - classic fact free nonsense. ‘news’ story here totally fails to mention that Tory plans were for fines of £5k (later reduced to £3k) for each missed heat pump sale. What @Ed_Miliband has done is to reduce that to £500. Headline should read “Miliband slashes Tory boiler tax”

Come on, we all read them back in the day, they helped fill the gap left by Frank 🤷🏻‍♀️
