It's no longer OK for you to sit in the house of Lords because your dad did.
But if your mate put you there?
That's fine.
Neither of these really feel like democracy to me.

Why are so many politicians so weird?
Still rocking those petulant child vibes...
What a disgusting and immoral thing to bet on...
That's so weird...
Sehr schรถn ๐- and there we reach the limits of my school German!
It looks like the kind of 'cold compress' my son's primary school puts on a graze if a child falls over in the playground (made from a dampened paper towel...)
Or a fruit platter/nespresso machine in the staff room ๐ค... We need to have public spaces and activities where different demographics, life stages, cultures get to do low key stuff together...
Nah he's just a shameless opportunist liar
NB previous government under 'Prime' Minister Johnson
And we thought our spiv UK gvt was shocking with the Covid VIP lane contracts for medical supplies at the height of the pandemic- that was nothing compared with the seemingly brazen profiteering conduct of Trump et al...๐
So he can't do basic maths either... or he's a liar- hmm which one? ๐ค
It has been 'The Emperor's New Clothes' since the very beginning
Hopefully the shitness of Reform's attitude to women/women's rights will soon start to impact their appeal and this nonsense over long-standing British citizens being deported will end... #ReformAreNotYourFriends
Should probably ask for my Mum's NHS app login details so I can stay on top of her various interactions with health providers...
Labour's core voters, on which its re-election entirely depends, are crystal clear about this: they absolutely hate its illiberal, intolerant, draconian, rightwards turn. Hence the total collapse in support. So how does the government respond? #SuicideMission๐คฆโโ๏ธ

๐ฑ- Like Lions led by Donkeys feels singularly apt again...
There's certainly significantly less nuance/less humanity/less charm to him than the TV character 'Lucifer...'
Ugh!
Did he actually say that? ๐คฎ
It's like a dialect used by people who can nearly speak/write English properly...
Beautiful waterfall in mossy woodland near Dolgellau in mid-Wales
Before my daily timer for BlueSky kicks in here's a lovely waterfall in mid-Wales (the 'Torrent Walk' near Dolgellau)
We are living in a world where people increasingly believe any old nonsense... (which is partly why I pay a few quid to Full Fact every month)- yesterday evening at my kid's football session a nice dad starting telling me about about COVID being manufactured to reduce the world population...๐คฆโโ๏ธ
I honestly don't know if I can face reading it though... is it worth it when I could instead be playing 'Taco, Cat, Goat, Cheese, Pizza' with my kids...
I volunteer at an ESOL class for mainly refugee women and it has reinforced for me how hard and rubbish English is compared with other languages with consistent pronunciation and grammatical rules...
Is it lawful to continue operating with that level of losses?
This isnโt a hallucination, Michael Gove. Youโve never explained the millions you disbursed to buddies with your crony Covid Contracts.
Cashing in on the worst public health crisis in a century should disbar people from public life permanently.
