Hi Mushen. Funny, I’ve been having the ‘What day is it’ problem this week as well. Thought it w as Saturday yesterday.
Good luck with sorting out the care package. It’s difficult, experience shows.

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.

SHOCK POLL:
NIGEL FARAGE WILL BE PM TOMORROW
IN an amazing poll conducted
by The Pointless Polling Company, it was revealed that voters' intentions
may well change over the next three and a half years and at present it's 100 percent impossible to guess what the next government might look like.
However, 99 percent of journalists
agree that it would be much more fun if we had an election tomorrow and everybody resigned and everything was chaos and Farage had a go at being PM, just for the hell of it, because it was so much fun when
Brexit happened and then the government kept falling every five minutes and we could write endless pieces about (cont. p94)

No matter what he says or does, Donald Trump is not getting into Heaven.

What you say regarding Truss and Johnson, Tarqs, I agree with wholeheartedly.

"The Green Party had a particularly strong conference season under Polanski... with a bold platform of nationalisation of major utilities, a wealth tax and stronger environmental policy."

Power and wealth have taken our assets. We must take them back.

Sarah Smith #r4today says Trump gave no details about (didn’t know or care) what happens next with the Gaza/Israel peace deal but she can confirm that Trump will be “furious” on Friday if he isn’t awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.
Wow.

Inspirational.

Looks like the Greens are likely to hit 100,000 members pretty soon. Quite an astonishing growth rate.

Imagine how high the Green Party would be polling if they got the same 24/7 coverage as Reform.

It would be much higher than Reform.

You see what is happening in the USA.

That will happen in the UK if Nigel Farage becomes PM.

Because he is Donald Trump's puppet and Nigel Farage will sell the UK to him straight away.
