La popularité des petits messieurs courroucés partout à travers le monde me rend perplexe. "On n'attire pas les mouches avec du vinaigre", ben c'était pas vrai. Le vinaigre semble être devenu un incontournable en politique.

"Sir Keir Starmer has been warned that Labour is being deserted by a so-called Green wave of left-wing voters who are disillusioned with the party’s shift to the right on welfare, migration and transgender rights."

Je ne suis pas super enthousiaste à l'idée d'ajouter un nouveau pays de droite gouverné par un petit monsieur courroucé, soupe-au-lait et arrogant à la longue liste de pays de droite gouvernés par des petits messieurs courroucés, soupe-au-lait et arrogants qui existent déjà sur Terre.

We hear a lot about the gender pay gap, but what about the gender wealth gap?

UK wealth analysis by @womensbudgetgrp.bsky.social shows that, on average, men hold around £78k more wealth than women - that's a gap of 21%!

This is what GB News considers news.

Actual news: @greenparty.org.uk announced we have more members than the Conservatives, double the Lib Dems, making us the third largest party in Britain.

Now I wonder why GB News wouldn't want to report on that?
