“Myself when young did eagerly frequent Doctor and Saint, and heard great Argument About it and about: but evermore Came out by the same Door where in I went.” “The Bird of Time has but a little way To flutter – and the Bird is on the Wing.”
Almost nobody in the media reported on the former Tory Government's sweeping power grab of the electoral commission. This week Labour have announced that they will reverse what Boris Johnson did and return the commission to independence.
Ofcourse Labour will get absolutely no credit for doing this
Ah yes, the expert who just before Putin invaded, denied that the Tories had defunded UK armed forces, assuring the Select Committee that army tanks were obsolete anyway.
The headline bothers me partly because of its ambiguity.
I wondered if it meant these men were looking for women who would tell them what to do.
Well, that should facilitate matters when it comes to the trials:
“What you're seeing right now … is a military under President Trump's leadership that is not fighting politically correct.”

Also, of course, “YOU’RE GAMBLING WITH WORLD WAR THREE !!!”
Although he didn't like some of the backlash, Trump was fine with the performative cruelty, the racism, the the illegality, & the incompetence. He drew the line though at the self-aggrandisement, which he clearly sees very much as his exclusive preserve

"U.S. military investigators believe it is likely that U.S. forces were responsible for an apparent strike on an Iranian girls' school."
"The strike would rank among the worst cases of civilian casualties in decades of U.S. conflicts in the Middle East."
Activity conducted for, on behalf of, or for the benefit of a foreign power, affecting the UK’s interests and national security?

“Are you not entertained?”
They cut Meals on Wheels for seniors, doctors for the VA, and food for American children - but send billions of taxpayer dollars to the Middle East for an unnecessary war of choice.
Balint to Noem: "You're the secretary of DHS -- for now. And you think you're immune from accountability. But I promise you this: one day he is not gonna be president anymore. And when that day comes, we will still be here. And in hearings like this, we are going to continue to prove your guilt."

Stunning victory in Stroud last night.
Look at that majority! 💚😍

A Photo of Pedro Sánchez standing at a podium delivery his rebuttal to this regime’s threat to end trade with Spain. All-capped caption on image reads, SPANISH PRIME MINISTER SÁNCHEZ RESPONDING TO TRUMP ANNOUNCING YESTERDAY THAT HE WOULD SEVER TRADE RELATIONS WITH SPAIN. "SPAIN OPPOSES THIS CATASTROPHE. BECAUSE WE UNDERSTAND THAT GOVERNMENTS ARE THERE TO IMPROVE PEOPLE'S LIVES, TO SOLVE PROBLEMS, NOT TO WORSEN THEM. AND IT IS ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE THAT LEADERS WHO ARE INCAPABLE OF FULFILLING THIS TASK USE THE SMOKESCREEN OF WAR TO MASK THEIR INCOMPETENCE AND LINE THE POCKETS OF A SELECT FEW."
Pedro Sánchez delivered a strong rebuttal to tRump's threat to end trade with Spain, restating his opposition to war & what he called the “breakdown of international law” – Spain refused to allow the U.S. to use jointly run bases at Morón & Rotafor to strike Iran. www.bbc.com/news/article... #PINKS
While Labour accuses the Greens of being divisive and whipping up hatred, Zack Polanski makes a point of quoting and endorsing wholeheartedly the words of one of his rival party’s MPs.
Your Honor, we would like to introduce this clip as Exhibit #1.
Who the hell is this guy? And what does he want as a return on his £millions invested in Reform? Because it sure as shit isn’t a fairer, more progressive, equal and prosperous UK with good public services and well-regulated consumer protections.

Pretty funny that Michael Gove is dunking on me now he’s editor of the Spectator to promote its ‘bias-free’ reporting when as a politician he wouldn’t answer any of my press inquiries on the massive Brexit fraud he oversaw as Vote Leave’s co-convener
Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...
Quite.
Sorry, ‘Mahmood’.
He’s not due to say it until May.

Definitely time for a change. This is not democracy..
Beware the shrugging resignation.
“while people may debate the legal & strategic arguments, what we can’t let stand unchallenged is the insidious accompanying case made by the right and even some democratic leaders: that in the new world order, international law is no longer helpful or applicable.”
“There are two main options open to Labour:
the 1st is denial and doubling-down on the existing approach on the basis that it will work - it has just not been tried enough;
the 2nd is a reinvention to become a dynamic progressive party that meets the needs of UK citizens.”
So far, option 1 rules. ☹️
This makes me laugh. I can’t believe they actually did an investigation.
Absolutely pathetic.
Especially since Trump uses the autopen regularly AND can’t remember who he pardoned.

“at best Kemi is a 2-dimensional cut-out. A cartoon version of a leader of the opposition. A woman entirely without nuance who is condemned to fail time after time as she shouts the same questions time & again and totally misses the point. Tonal deficit disorder.”

“So the clashes between Keir and Kemi at PMQs felt almost existential. A battle between sanity and the distorted reality of an angry teenager. Thankfully sanity won out.”
