David Tennant and his wife Georgia Tennant posting their joy at the Tories being kicked out and absolutely not apologising is great, isn't it?

Ignoring that people vote differently under PR, a system like MMP would have likely seen Mogg and co in on the list.

The most racist half of the Tory electorate went to Farage. Few new votes for Labour

The vast majority of seats Labour has taken from the Tories are because half the Tory voters went to the far right extremists. The whole damn country is a fetid pit.

Moaning is in farmers DNA. One year dad was moaning because the weather had been perfect and stock prices were better than budgeted. His complaint? He had nothing to moan about.

Attendance rates have been a big part of the government's narrative. The minister will be on the departments arse and shit flows downhill, all the way to the parents.

There will have been people alive on the day I was born in 1964 who knew a forested Banks Peninsula. Who witnessed the theft of the land and the destruction of the environment. As a nation we're still living off the proceeds of the crime.

Let's flip it. If someone in my workplace insisted on referring to me as she and her, and persisted intentionally after I asked them not to, I'd be complaining to my boss and expecting them to take action. FSU appears to be saying my boss should not be able to do anything about a toxic environment

When I was younger I was naive enough to believe that voters wanted their leaders to be the best of us, and hold them to high standards. I'm still embarrassed at how utterly wrong I was.

Our current cluster fuck of a housing speculation based economy can be traced back to that budget. And we still haven't learned.

I'd love to see the accommodation supplement go (with the proviso that it is replaced with an alternative way of making housing affordable, which won't be what this govt does), because it's currently a firehouse of government cash straight into landlords pockets and keeps rents high

It won't work. It will send a signal and is worth trying at least, but ultimately, the only thing that will work is if the electorate stops tolerating dishonesty

“The Welsh government will bring forward legislation before 2026 for the disqualification of members and candidates found guilty of deliberate deception through an independent judicial process.” Somewhere, a Free Speech dude's head just exploded.

5 seconds thought by any functional adult would work out that using 20 cones instead of 10 would add trivial cost. The point is absurd yet not only did this man waste the breath claiming it, a minister supported it and a reporter actually expended energy writing this drivel down. We're screwed.

Let's see what the centre right will do when the only national path to non-fascism is to get its voters to back the actual left in a runoff. Wrong answers only. When I say 'wrong answers only', I mean the centre right is generally going with the wrong answers only.

Werner Herzog directing a Maybelline ad: Perhaps she is born with it. What a frightful notion, to be imbued with the fetters of capitalist commodification from birth. It suggests God Himself is a part of our dreadful pattern instead of a refuge from it.
