Enjoy some humour with this Guido Fawkes tweet from 2022: “You can sense the palpable despair of most of the broadsheet punditry as it dawns on them that Liz Truss is in all likelihood going to be Prime Minister and will probably go on to smash Keir Starmer in the general election.”

Tweede achter Labour? Heel mischien in % maar ook dat is nog lang niet zeker. In zetels zeker niet door 'first past the post'. Ze krijgen hooguit een handjevol zetels volgens de peilingen.

ICYMI: The macroeconomic cost of Conservative government mainlymacro.blogspot.com/2024/06/the-...
By 2024 I estimate GDP was 5% lower as a result of austerity, Brexit and pandemic mistakes. All three major policy errors show a government overriding expertise for ideological/political objectives.

A single paragraph that says everything about where the UK has ended up. By Robert Shrimsley and, inevitably, in the @financialtimes.com - just about the only media outlet that has avoided being caught up in this self-serving maelstrom.

The world is a mess and it’s easy to get atrocity-ed out, but more attention needs to focus on the civil war in Sudan where the death count is horrific and it’s on the brink of getting significantly worse. In El Fashar all hospitals have been destroyed… 1/2

Boris Johnson was turned away from a polling station because he didn’t have an acceptable photo ID - legislation he introduced to game the system in favour of the Conservatives, as his lickspittle Jacob Rees-Mogg admitted. *irony klaxon explodes*

You know all those brave anti-ULEZ warriors, raging against the machine? Guess what? It turns out they've been comprehensively duped by the machine, whipped into an anti-Establishment frenzy by the governing party's cynical manipulations. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

While the Tory government is discussing extremism, social inequality and poverty have reached unprecedented levels in Britain. Watch my film for @Weltspiegel_ARD on how more and more Brits are fighting to survive, while noone in Westminster seems to care. 👇👇

»Eine weitere Radikalisierung in der Opposition und selbst eine Spaltung der Tories ist durchaus denkbar geworden, traditionell ein absolutes Tabu in der ehemals erfolgreichsten konservativen Partei Europas«, schreibt @annettedittert.bsky.social: www.blaetter.de/ausgabe/2024...

Eens. Ik woon sinds '94 niet meer in Nederland maar volg de politiek nog wel van een afstandje. De bagger die zij van allerlei minkukels over zich heen kreeg op Twitter/X (en de 2e kamer) was bij de beesten af. Beneden ieder niveau. Blij voor haar dat ze een baan heeft waar ze wel wordt gewaardeerd.
