Like any weak leader they will try to go for a 'short' war to bring about a poll bounce. Starmer should have just asked Blair or Brown how this worked out for them. Blair that grinning fucking Ringwraith is more steeped in blood than Macbeth
Oh the tension! They do draw it out don't they!
As I put it a few years ago in my blunt advice to Irish cities, “Your goal SHOULDN’T be to replace a million fossil fuel vehicles with a million electric vehicles. It should be to replace a million fossil fuel vehicles with 250,000 electric vehicles. The main answer MUST be FEWER cars driven LESS."

Lush as the yoof say.
Trump's massive bombers are arriving in Gloucestershire and will leave to kill people in iran
If you can get to the demonstration today at Fairford base please do
Energy insecurity. Higher bills. Exposure to catastrophic economic consequences of Trump's wars.
That's what happens when you fail to shift fast enough to renewables, and cut back on support for clean energy.
Let's cut bills & create jobs through a clean power revolution.
![[We see a close up of a young white male, tanned, white teeth, coiffed hair clearly an influencer on social media. It is an image such as you see when social media posts are shown on the news. In the corner of the screen is named a location: DUBAI. He is staring slightly off-camera for several silent panels of the comic strip. His eyes move slightly. He is having a thought.]
From off-screen a newsreader’s commentary comes:
NEWSREADER:
Extraordinary images here
of an expat in Dubai
[The influencer’s eybrows raise slightly]
…Having their first ever geopolitical thought.
[CUT TO a BBC news scene. The BBC newsreader CLIVE MYRIE is talking to an interviewee next to the screen showing the social media influencer’s face. The interviewee’s name is David Jones].
CLIVE MYRIE:
To explain the significance of this moment we’re joined by David Jones, our Expat Thoughts correspondent
DAVID JONES:
Clive, this is momentous
It was caught on film at the end of an Instagram post titled: ‘Dubai Is Brilliant’.
[Pointing at the screen, the influencer’s expression still the same]
You can clearly see in the eyebrows here, the dawning realisation that there *might* be something in the world beyond his dickhead self.
It marks a *huge* departure from all the Dubai Expat’s previous thoughts.
CLIVE MYRIE:
Which are…?
DAVID JONES:
You've Got To Get Yourself Out Here Mate, Everything Is So Clean, I Don't Have To Pay Taxes,
I Am Incurious As To Why I Do Not Have To Pay Taxes, and Spa.
CLIVE MYRIE:
And might we see an expansion of these new Thoughts in coming days?
DAVID JONES:
I think we can expect to see:
“I Deserve To Be Airlifted By A Country I Pay No Tax To”
CLIVE MYRIE:
Mmm.

These look just the thing for 5ft 1" me though not sure I would ever wear crocs.
Brilliant !!
No because she's as thick as two incredibly short planks. Her only skill is talking so loudly over everyone that no one else gets to be heard.
Could watch this for hours.
We had a fabulous full moon here but it wasn't red!
Wow!
This could be a dream job for someone out there. Plus the fact they don't advertise a salary implies you can pretty much name your price, right? 🤔

Some balls at last!
IPSO have published their verdict on The Daily Telegraph’s fake £345,000-a year banker couple who claimed they couldn’t afford five holidays.
The paper declined to explain to the watchdog how the article came to be published - but our reporting at the time sets it out…
If it’s true Reform UK’s Treasury spokesperson Robert Jenrick told a business audience last night that renewable companies are "screwed" if Reform get in, it tells you everything about their readiness to inflict national self-harm in pursuit of ideological war on climate action.
Was on train yesterday with family sitting next me with a little, loudly complaining girl, about 8 years old. The whole journey from B'ham consisted of her asking for food every 15 mins and being told no. She then obviously got a proper no, cos she said "don't you love me anymore". I proper snorted.
Wow.
The Green Party aren't just in second place on 21%.
They are FIVE points ahead of Labour.
The Gorton and Denton by-election is convincing Labour voters the Greens aren't a wasted vote.
And they're just 2 points behind Reform!

How Much I Dislike the Daily Mail I would rather eat Quavers that are six weeks stale, blow dry the man bun of Gareth Bale, listen to the songs of Jimmy Nail, than read one page of the Daily Mail. If I was bored in a waiting room in Perivale, on a twelve-hour trip on Network Rail, halfway through a circumnavigational sail, I would not read the Daily Mail. I would happily read the autobiography of Dan Quayle, 1001 Things You Can Do With Kale, selected scripts from Emmerdale, if it meant I didn’t have to read the Daily Mail. Far better to stand outside in a storm of hail, scratch a blackboard with a fingernail, be swallowed by a humpback whale, than have to read the Daily Mail. If I was blind and it was the only thing in Braille, I still would not read the Daily Mail. Brian Bilston
Today’s poem is called ‘How Much I Dislike the Daily Mail’.
