I don't intentionally bait people into thinking I am a Very Online Leftist (which I am, but I digress) but I always immensely enjoy the double-take I get when people ask me how I "got so woke" and the answer is literally "the Bible"

I'll never forget that Britain had the best pandemic response potential *in the world* and we didn't use it because our PM was busy writing a book about Shakespeare and our health secretary didn't want to miss the Cheltenham Festival.

250,000 dead. Blows my mind Hancock didn't wind up like Gaddafi

I already thought these looked like cool little guys before I saw what their name is

Nah, they're *expecting* them on the 18th

Private Eye offers up an excellently scornful commentary on the relentless polling. It’s become ridiculous and has oversimplified our politics to dangerous levels of stupid and irresponsible.

If improvised weapons are available then it's a walk. Half the US team knocked spark out by 2 lads wielding a traffic cone and the lid off a salt bin.

Let’s make different political choices.

For decades now British people have been told to simply swallow austerity. They’ve been told that the NHS needs cuts, that libraries need closing and that child poverty can’t be tackled.

Greens say: Bullshit!
Join the Green Party today.

Saaaame. When this is what the mirror looks like, I know it's time to go get sheared.

We have reclaimed the humble frog from the right

He spent most of his previous term pestering European governments to massively increase their military spending (i.e. buying US-made weapons) to meet their NATO obligations. That alone should be disqualifying.

It's a great year for medicine. Holy shit

"I Swear"? Is it a biography of Billy Connolly?
