Newspapers that told their readers austerity, Brexit, Johnson & Truss would be brilliant are attacking the British Prime Minister for not unquestioningly following a lunatic President into an illegal attack. And on social media, he gets attacked from the other 'side' for doing the precise opposite!

MPsโ€™ basic salary to rise to ยฃ110,000 by end of parliament, watchdog says Ipsa cites rising abuse and constituency workloads as reasons for above-inflation increase of 5% from April

MPsโ€™ basic salary to rise to ยฃ110,000 by end of parliament, watchdog says.

This should be accompanied by a total ban on second jobs, which in most cases is a corporate bribe. Must end all conflict of interests.

Being a MP is a full time job. MPs must act exclusively as MPs.

In my utopian vision of the future, instead of offloading all the pointless, annoying work tasks (like reports that none one will read and needlessly opaque forms) to robots, we restructure work and society so that the pointless tasks don't happen at all.

Strange isn't it that Trump is talking about invading Cuba and attacking Iran on the day that another president is being questioned about his friendship with Epstein...

I hate Dyson with every fibre of my being & will never ever buy anything made by him.
Heโ€™s a piece of shit who treats people like meat.
It was always obvious why he put his money & mouth behind Brexit.
More people in this country need to be aware of his Machiavellian ways & boycott the bastard.

Put a bet on that. Iโ€™d like to thank the Green Party for my beer money today.

Reform


"Given the reports we are reading in
UK media about family voting and
sectarianism, I am deeply concerned
about the extent to which the Gorton
and Denton parliamentary by-election
is a free, fair, and democratic election."

Not just a loser.

A little bit more hope returned this morning hearing about the Gorton and Denton win for the @greenparty.org.uk - now for a few hours finalising our VAT return before heading off to see friends for a weekend of walks by the sea, pubs and cheese. Iโ€™ll take that.

Congratulations Hannah Spencer. ๐Ÿฅฌ

Greens now have 5 MPs.

Reform has 8 - but four of those are Tory defections who were not elected on a REF ticket..

Bet Jenrick and Braverman are feeling a little sick this morning.

Now watch the billionaire media throw all the dirt it can at the Greens, who could thwart its dream of a Farage government.

Aww thanks lovely. I like it the way it is but it wonโ€™t be hard wearing enough for those boys - am thinking a jolly mustard colour with a kilim on the floor. We can always roll it back if Mr B needs a hose down xx

The wonderful - as always - Caroline Lucas performing with surgical precision, a complete demolition of 'ReformUK' and its "new top team" of terribly tarnished Tories from the past.

Caroline is the best PM we never had.

The Times calls Keir Starmer's decision to hire Peter Mandelson an "egregious error" which deserves an "inquiry into the appointment process."

Not included is any demand for an inquiry into their own appointment of him, long after his post-conviction relationship with Jeffrey Epstein was exposed

The burnt red frontage of The Grapes in Bath with a central door and two windows either side. The left-hand windows says live music and then, Local booze the window above the door shows that the pub is a free house and the windows to the right state that dogs are welcome and we are not a chain.

New window signage completed @thegrapesbath.co.uk as the last lot that were traditionally sign written and gilded took a battering from condensation and the style and messaging were copied almost verbatim by a nearby pub ๐Ÿ˜ฎ so weโ€™ve switched it up. #DogsWelcome #LiveMusic #LocalBooze #NotAChain
