I’ll leave to your whining as I can see that unemployed and newly trained GPs are not enough for you🤦🏻‍♀️

"Are we going to abandon people whenever the rightwing press demands it?"

Unemployment has climbed to its highest level since the pandemic.

Socialist economic policies that have the wellbeing of people at their heart would create jobs for workers.

But we’ve seen the opposite from Labour.

It’s never been clearer that Labour has abandoned its working-class roots.

Take everything he has, including all his clothes and his home, so he has to wander America stark bollock naked until the end of his life

The response from Keir Starmer's spokesman - a denial there is a problem, a denial he must know to be untrue - strongly suggests Labour is no longer concerned to adhere to its human rights obligations.

As someone who briefly taught A-level English, I see that migrants will now be required to have studied at least one of the Canterbury Tales before entering Britain. May I recommend The Nun's Priest's Tale?

I'm sure every Reform voter will be able to share their knowledge of the works of Chaucer.

People who know about this stuff, tell me this is AI ... which is thoroughly depressing as I hate AI but this genuinely did make me piss my pants laughing ... and I'm willing to excuse pretty much anything if it's genuinely funny*

"Access for investigators for crimes against humanity is essential"

"A two state solution is essential"

Imagine a bunch of bright folk who considered it their sacred duty to challenge conventional wisdom, hold the powerful to account, correct lies, bring new voices to the fore, add nuance to debate and never defend the indefensible

And then write about it with style

That's called a functioning media

Yet more Englocentric obsessed policy making. Scotland does not have A-level English.

It's a fucked up soulless world that the Tech Bastards and their slave-bootlickers* have created
